Nu Zeta Phi’s “Think Pink” Fashion Show for Breast Cancer Awareness took place in Kessel’s Gottesman Room last Friday night. Breast Cancer Awareness is one of Nu Zeta Phi’s philanthropies and October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.

The show featured three contestant rounds – Sleepy Pink, Sexy Pink, and Professional Pink – where each contestant was asked a different question and had a chance to walk the runway. Each contestant was escorted to the runway by a Nu Zeta Phi sister.

The show began with a breast cancer awareness video, which was about five minutes long. The informational video highlighted important facts like one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime and that men can also have breast cancer.

There was a five dollar entrance fee, and all proceeds will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

“It’s for a good cause and you get food so, it’s a win-win,” sister of Sigma Iota Chi Ali Idzinsk said.

During the first “Sleepy Pink” round, contestants were asked, “What’s your perfect date?” Answers from contestants included, “anything in Manhattan,” “long walks,” and “Kessel”.

During “Think Pink’s” second round, “Sexy Pink”, contestants were asked, “What’s your favorite pickup line?” The audience loved the answer, “Are you Google? Because you’re everything I’ve been looking for.”

To finish off the last “Professional Pink” round, contestants were asked, “Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?”

In between rounds, there were performances by the 808 step team, Annie Alfiero, and Joseph Kelly with Mitch Farrell. The first performance were covers performed by Mitch Farrell and Joseph Kelly.

The 808 step team performed perfectly choreographed step moves and interacted with the crowd. Following the 808s, Nu Zeta Phi sister Annie Alfiero sang and played the guitar.

Brother of Alpha Phi Delta, Lopergolo, said he entered the event because he, “enjoys participating and watching my pledge brothers walk the runway alongside [him].”

At the end of the “Think Pink” Fashion Show, Kirstin Capasso won first place, Brother of Delta Kappa Epsilon Simon Driver finished second, and brother of Alpha Phi Delta Erik Bono took third.
