Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Peppermint Park on 14th Street. The event, dubbed the "Eta Mu Plate Sale," has been in the works since last year.
Plates include barbeque chicken, string beans, potatoes and a roll. Cake and beverages will also be served; the cost for students is seven dollars per plate.
All proceeds will go to community service initiatives sponsored by the sorority.
The Sigma Gamma Rho organization was founded in 1922 by seven educators and is now an international service sorority.
The sorority supports numerous philanthropic efforts, including Habitat for Humanity, providing educational materials for at-risk children through a program called OPERATION BigBookBag and support for several other national and international organizations.
Any questions about the event should be directed to Demetria Smith at das0726@ecu.edu.
Questions about the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. can be found at the organization's official Web site, sgrho1922.org.
