For the Ladies...

Good morning, Ashby!

This post goes out to the women of Ashby Hall (and well...gentlemen, if you're willing to raid your mom or sister's closets, you're welcome to stay tuned, too!)

Sigma Kappa, a sorority on campus, is doing a fundraiser called "Donate My Dress". They will be collecting formal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and cocktail dresses and donating them! So, when you're home for Spring Break next week, pull out all of those old homecoming, prom, and cocktail dresses that you've been trying to get rid of, and bring them back to campus with you. They will be collected on March 28! Check out the flyer below for more information. Click on it to make it larger!

Until next time...
