Fashions change season to season but when lives are at stake, giving to an important cause never goes out of style.  Last weekend, the Phi Beta Psi ladies and their families showed their audience just that when they took to the runway to raise money for cancer research.  “Runway to the Cure” was the ladies’ first fashion show, modeling spring lines from Dillard’s, Peebles, and Old Navy. The event drew a crowd of over 100 people, and the ladies raised over $1,000.
