The Greek Community of the University of New Mexico is uniting to "Fight the Good Fight". Sigma Chi Fight Night is a charity boxing match with proceeds going towards the Susan G. Komen For The Cure of Central New Mexico. Each house (Sigma Chi, Pi Kappa Alpha, Omega Delta Phi, and Phi Gamma Delta) will put forth teams of five to undergo 4 months of intense physical training and boxing instruction. All their hard work will culminate the night of November 6th at UNM's 4,000 capacity Johnson Gym. Breast Cancer is a disease that has affected everyone in some way ,shape, or form. Our fraternity has brothers who have suffered close losses from the disease, and one of our brother's mother is actually a Breast Cancer Survivor. This event pairs well with the cause, it's all about FIGHTING the GOOD FIGHT; putting yourself against adversity, testing your boundaries, and giving your all to come out the victor in the struggle. We are doing this to raise awareness about the disease and to unite our passion for service behind helping find a cure. Funding research and pursuing a cure will lead to a brighter tomorrow for those currently with the disease and the possibility for our sisters, mothers, wives, and future daughters to live in a world without it.
