Pink Goes Red
In honor of Heart Hearth Awareness Month, Chi Epsilon Omega Chapter hosts our annual Pink Goes Red event on the first Friday in February. According to the CDC, heart disease is the leading cause of death for people of most racial and ethnic groups in the United States. As such, it is important that we are aware of these risk factors and take care of our heart health. This event typically features interactive activities such as hustlin', Nia, and healthy heart tips that encourages participants to engage in heart-healthy behaviors.
