On Nov. 20, Sigma Nu will hold a fundraising event at the WTAMU rodeo arena. Festivities begin at 6 p.m.

“[The purpose of the event is to] raise money for the chapter,” Marcus White, Sigam Nu member, said. “Some of the money will also go to the herdsman.”

The Sigma Nu’s are planning on kicking off the event with a cookout, and then waiting for WT’s mascot, Thunder X, to finish his business.

“Basically what we’re doing is we’re selling squares, which we will use to cover the bottom of the arena,” Daniel Hackler, Sigma Nu Treasurer, said. “The herdsmen are letting us use the buffalo, which we will set loose in the arena and wait for him to poop on a square. Whoever bought the number on the square is the winner.”

Students, organizations, local businesses or anyone else interested in buying a square will be able to.Squares are $5 a piece or $20 for five squares and the grand prize will be $200 or more.

“This is much different than anything other organizations have done,” Hackler said.  “We’re getting to incorporate the buffalo into our fundraising event. It’s really unique.”
