Sigma Tau Delta's Bi-Annual Chili Sale

By: Madison Jones

Sigma Tau Delta’s bi-annual Chili Sale was this past week. Students involved with the University of Montevallo English Honor Society sold chili to raise money for Sigma Tau Delta Conferences and expenses.

The flavor of the chili changed each day, with options including chicken, venison, beef, and vegan. On Monday, the chili was so delicious that it sold out completely after only two hours. Each year the chili sale draws crowds from all departments to taste what the Sigma Tau Delta members have cooked.

Each homemade bowl of chili comes topped off with cheese, sour cream, chips, and other options. At only $4.50 a bowl, it really was an affordable way to escape from eating the same meal, lunch after lunch. Sodas were also available for only fifty cents.

According to Kathleen Kryger, the money from the chili sale benefits students in the organization who plan to go to national Sigma Tau Delta conferences, across the nation. This year’s conference is in Portland, Oregon and a Montevallo student is attending, thanks to money raised during the sale. The money also funds the organization’s initiation.

The chili sale is now over for the semester, but when cooler weather rolls around in the fall, the Sigma Tau Delta members will be back in the kitchen to cook up some helpful profits.
