The Phi Sigma Sigma sorority will present its seventh annual fashion show, an event tied with Dance Marathon to help collect proceeds for the Miami Children’s Hospital Children’s Miracle Network Foundation on Nov. 21 at 8 p.m.

“This is a really fun and creative way of doing a charity event to help raise money for a great foundation,” said Jamie Fredericks, a Delta Phi Epsilon sorority member modeling for the event.

Helena Ramirez, the fund-raising committee chair for Phi Sigma Sigma and the coordinator for this year’s “Alice in Wonderland” themed fashion show, has had great luck when it comes to the amount of sponsorship she’s received for the fashion show.

“We have the design team from Hi-Tech – a Paul Mitchell partner school – donating their services with hair and make-up for our models which is probably the biggest help we’ve gotten from a sponsor, as well as from Lauren Ashley, [who] is the designer of the clothes we will be showcasing at the fashion show,” Ramirez said.

The fashion show has received over 22 sponsorships and is well on its way to becoming one of the largest fund-raisers the sorority has ever organized.

Over 120 models, Greek and non-Greek affiliated, auditioned for the show.

The auditions ran from Sept. 29 through Oct. 1 and were judged by Phi Sigma Sigma alumni as well as professional photographer Lorraine Diaz.

Among the 44 models chosen to walk at this year’s fashion show is Priscilla Martinez, a Delta Phi Epsilon member and model, who has walked for professional designers such as Rafael Cinemo and Myra Cisneros.

“Fashion and modeling is something I love, runway modeling in general, and to do what I love to do for such a wonderful cause is like a two-in-one scenario,” Martinez said.

VIP tickets for $20, which include unlimited catering to each seat as well as front-row seating, will be provided at the event for viewers.

Tickets are on sale in the Graham Center pit.

Presale tickets are $10 or $12 at the door.

Proceeds from the event will go toward FIU’s Dance Marathon, a fund-raiser in which participants engage in various physical activities for 25 hours straight, such as dancing, laser tag, basketball and rock climbing, among others.

Since its inception into the University in 1997, the event has raised $500,000 for the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation.
