GSS Women Wild about Finding a Cure

Yesterday, Gamma Sigma Sigma sisters participated in the 11th annual UDance marathon. The Beta Gamma chapter alone raised over $37,000 for childhood cancer research! Here are what some of our sisters had to say about UDance.

“My favorite part about UDance was spending the entire day with my family and seeing the enthusiasm of all of the sisters/all of UD for such an amazing cause!”- Sydney Hirsch, Beta Nu

“My favorite thing about UDance is spending 12 hours dancing with my amazing sisters for an incredible cause.” -Laura Testa, Beta Lambda

For the past three years, Gamma Sig has had the honor of adopting Morgan, a four year- old cancer survivor. After 4 rounds of chemotherapy and 3 surgeries Morgan was cancer free and has been recently placed in the survivorship program! This year, was Morgan’s third and final UDance. GSS will always be inspired by our amazing hero Morgan.

“Morgan is the sweetest, silliest, and most fashionable little girl I have ever met! Morgan & her beautiful family have made such an impact on my life and have taught me the importance of keeping a positive attitude always. I will forever be Morgan Kelly Tough.” -Sara Rutch, Beta Iota (UDance Rep 2015-17)

“…and when the dance is over and the last light is turned off in the Bob, please remember your work is helping a child in a quiet hospital room who is fighting for his or her life.” -Father of B+ Hero Leon

I hope everyone had an amazing time dancing and singing the ABC’s with Morgan. She looked absolutely adorable in her letters and her cape ❤

Shout out to Karen Sanzone & Meghan Paulsen for their hard work on UDance exec, and to our wonderful UDance chapter reps, Rebecca Noymer, Sam Bell, and Quinn Levin, for being the most dedicated and passionate reps we could have asked for. You all are amazing!

I am so incredibly proud of ALL of my sisters & future sisters who danced, raised money, volunteered, and supported the cause, and you are ALL heroes in my heart. ❤ FTK!

We Dance in 2!

UDance is coming up, and as usual, Gamma Sig will have a large presence there. We have many members and Members in Training who will be dancers, moralers, and volunteers on the big day.

As we dance to raise money for children with cancer, we also promote our impact area of healthy living. Not only are our amazing sisters helping to eradicate cancer and help children get healthy, but we are also participating in a 12-hour-straight work-out. If that’s not healthy living, I don’t know what is!

Remember to STAY HYDRATED, REPLENISH YOUR ENERGY, and DANCE YOUR HEART OUT #FTK ❤

(Here’s a pro-tip for staying hydrated…)

Don’t want to carry around your water bottle all day? Well, all you need to solve this is a hair tie, a fanny pack (FTK!), and a key clip.

Tie the hair tie around your UDance water bottle (or any water bottle!) and clip the key clip to the hair tie. Clip the whole thing to your fanny pack – and you’re hands-free at UDance!
