“Walk Your Talk” Fun walk
“Walk Your Talk” is a 4.4-km fun walk to be held on Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 6:00 a.m. around the University of the Philippines academic oval in Diliman, Quezon City. It is organized by the Pi Sigma Delta Alumni Association to raise funds for its scholarship project, The Pi Sigma Delta Sorority Outstanding Women Scholars’ Fund.
“Walk Your Talk” will kick off at the front steps of Palma Hall. There will be a registration fee of P50 for children, P100 for students and senior citizens, and P300 for all other participants. Prizes will be given away for the first five finishers (male and female categories), as well as other special categories. Participants will also get a variety of freebies.
The Scholars’ Fund
The Pi Sigma Delta Sorority Outstanding Women Scholars’ Fund was set up four years ago to provide funds for needy but deserving female students, especially those enrolled in science courses. The Scholarship Fund is the Sorority’s contribution to the effort to keep impoverished UP students in school. Studies have indicated that at least half of all freshmen who enter UP drop out and never make it to graduation, mainly because of poverty. The Scholarship Fund is the Sorority’s way of helping address this problem, through a small fund intended for expenses such as books and laboratory fees.
