Heart disease is a killer. More women die from the complications of heart disease than all cancers combined. Today, February 5, is Wear Red Day. These are some of the posts from my twitter feed.

My Pi Phi friend Marci has been working for the National Panhellenic Conference since graduating from Butler University. Today is Marci’s last day with NPC, but I have a strong feeling that she will continue to be involved in fraternity and sorority life. I had the wonderful chance to have breakfast with her last week at Pi Phi’s College Weekend. Best wishes, Marci, on your new adventure!
Celebrating #GoRedWearRed and my last day at NPC. Red sweaters and pink heart cupcakes.

One hundred years ago today, the Sigma Chi Club of Philadelphia met. Here is the notice of the meeting from the Sigma Chi Quarterly:
The annual meeting of the Sigma Chi Club of Philadelphia was held February 5, 1916 at Phi Phi Chapter House, 3604 Walnut Street. At this meeting the election of the board of trustees resulted as follows: Watkins Benerman, Phi Phi, 1912; John H. Franz, Phi Phi, 1907; Michael J. McCrudden, Phi Phi, 1905; E.R. Wilson, Phi Phi, 1913; Warren C. Graham, Phi Phi, 1903; Ward W. Pierson, Omega, 1902; and W.B. Mcintosh.
….The campaign for the permanent home of the Sigma Chi Club of Philadelphia and Phi Phi Chapter is progressing more satisfactorily than was at first anticipated. As a result of the generous response from the members of the club, it is now thought possible to break ground early next year provided we are as successful with the campaign during the next six months as we have been during a similar period just past.
The University of Pennsylvania chapter of Sigma Chi did not build a new house. In 1920, the chapter moved into a home at 3809 Locust Walk. A Penn website has the chapter moving into the house in 1928, but the chapter was using that address in a 1921 Sigma Chi Quarterly.
