Sigma Kappa Sorority’s annual Ultra Violet Fashion Show will feature student designs along with clothing and accessories from a local boutique. Sigma Kappa members will model all designs.

The show will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26 in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union.

Nicole Sorensen, senior in Apparel, Merchandising and Design, and Mady Wynsma, sophomore in Apparel, Merchandising and Design are co-chairs planning the show.

“Each year the show is held to support The Sigma Kappa Foundation,” Sorenson said. “These include the Alzheimer’s Association, the Maine Sea Coast Mission, Gerontology and Inherit the Earth.”

The top three designs will receive awards, and a People’s Choice Award will also be given out. The show will also include a silent auction and live music.

“Our silent auction will have multiple donations of either preassembled baskets, merchandise/products or tickets/admissions,” Sorensen said. “Each basket has a different theme, having at least one basket that every person would enjoy.”

Students can purchase tickets in advance for $5 from Sigma Kappa members, or at the door for $7.
