Chi Omega and Alpha Tau Omega are set to host their annual philanthropy event Friday: the Chili Cook-Off and Bed Races. For those who have never been to the event before, Tomball senior and Chi Omega president Campbell Fox described it with the highest excitement.
At Baylor, it’s not uncommon to see students careening down a street on top of a hospital bed while dressed in bizarre costumes.
The annual Chili Cook-Off and Bed Races is coming to campus for the 18th year at 5 p.m. Friday on Fountain Mall and Fifth Street.
Chi Omega and Alpha Tau Omega, have partnered together for the past nine years to make the event a tradition. ATO puts on the Bed Races, while Chi-O is heading up the Chili Cook-Off.
The unthinkable happened to Dr. Lai Ling Ngan, an associate professor of Christian Scriptures, on Feb. 22, 2012. She crashed and totaled her car after passing out from low glucose levels.
It was the final factor for her to decide to get a diabetic alert dog, according to Ruth Byran, a George W. Truett Theological Seminary student.
Last fall, Truett students and alumni came together to help raise money for the dog. Through fundraising and donations, they have raised $14,000 of the $27,000 necessary for the purchase of the dog.
