Sigma Kappa sorority will be hosting their fourth annual Ultra Violet Fashion Show from 7-9 p.m. on Oct. 18 in Hach Hall on campus. The event is held each year to support the Sigma Kappa philanthropy, who works with foundations such as: Gerontology and Alzheimer’s Research, Inherit the Earth and the Maine Sea Coast Mission. 

Members of Sigma Kappa will be modeling clothing from Portobello Road, Nekia Marie Boutique and designs submitted by students. 

The judges for this year’s show are Eulanda Sanders, Sharon Wirth and Christina Denekas — all are faculty in the apparel merchandising and design program. Denekas is also a Sigma Kappa alumnae.

A silent auction will be held from 7-7:30 p.m. before the fashion show begins.  

Abby Jones and Ashley De Haan, sophomore and senior in apparel, merchandising and design, are co-chairs for Ultra Violet Fashion Show.

 “The silent auction features lots of fun themed baskets and cool goodies like an autographed basketball by our handsome coach,” Jones said.

Abhi Pant, senior in industrial engineering, will be performing immediately following the silent auction, from 7:30-8 p.m., and the fashion show will begin shortly after.  The cost of admission is $5 beforehand and $7 at the door. 

“You can get a ticket from any Sigma Kappa member until the event,” DeHaan said.
