Its first event entitled "Get Money" at 7 p.m. today, in the University Center Bayou City Room, will feature Financial Aid Advisor Rodney Jackson. He will inform students how to get the most out of the money they have while in college. Students will learn how to cook a healthy meal during a cooking lesson that will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Cullen Oaks Community Center. The sorority encourages students to join them for lunch at 1 p.m. Wednesday in the UC food court.

"We'll talk about STDs and its warning signs," finance senior and sorority vice president Kim Tanner said.
