On Thursday night, November 5th, Florida State University’s Sigma Delta Tau hosted a fundraiser that went off without a hitch. Two hundred and fifty members of the sorority had a mission to raise money for Women for Women International, and succeeded their goals thanks to their brilliant idea: unlimited chicken wings.
Yeah, you heard me right, unlimited chicken wings, and for only five dollars. As if that wasn’t enough, the ladies also provided us with live music from an impressive band that was upbeat and energetic throughout the entire night. The members catered to every person who walked through the door, making sure that we were satisfied when it came to food and drink refills.
