On Saturday, March 27, 2010 Alpha Kappa Psi Lambda Nu hosted its Dress for Success Fashion Show. Lambda Nu has hosted this event in the previous years and has been planning its return since this past fall semester. AKPSi brothers and pledges showed off their goods on the runway to benefit a great cause.
Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that works to promote economic independence for disadvantaged women all over the country. Volunteers all over the country donate clothing, their time, or their experience to help unemployed women enter the workforce. Jeff Mindell, a brother of Lambda Nu, invited his mother to come speak at the event, considering she has volunteered with Dress For Success for several years. Mrs. Mindell was able to share personal stories of how the organization is able to boost Women's self-confidence and encourage them to re-enter the workforce. Lambda Nu was extremely grateful to have Mrs. Mindell attend the event and share some of her personal experiences.
.The first portion of the event was the fashion show, which first consisted of a "Do's and Don'ts" collections.
Bright distracting socks? I don't think so.
Same goes for the ladies, leave the neon leg tights at home!
Next time keep it subtle, monochromatic suits, socks & tights will be sure to impress.
Same goes for heels!
They look great, but save them for the club.
And I know a backpack is comfortable and simple...
...but it just does NOT work in professional wear.
Those are just a few examples of the many Do's and Don'ts that Lambda Nu wanted to showcase at this year's Dress for Success Fashion Show. After our brothers and pledges were done struttin' their stuff on the runway, the brothers provided a silent auction for guests to bid on. In combination to the donations for the event with the proceeds from the auction, Lambda Nu was able to raise over $500 for Dress for Success! Thanks to everyone who participated in the show and donated to the great cause. Jeff Mindell, for MC-ing the event and for inviting his lovely mother to join; Liz Guez & her family for providing items for the silent auction, and the big thanks to Amanda Augustine, our Dress for Success Chair; without her hard work throughout the semester this event would not have been a success, wonderful job Amanda!
