“SigEp was my home away from home. I knew the moment I stepped inside the house that I made the right choice. The University of Houston is the 2nd most diverse college in the United States, and it showed in our chapter. I felt a part of the family, no matter what.”

Diego shared, “SigEp taught me to learn, listen and be patient, overall leadership skills (shout out to Ruck Leadership Institute!), camaraderie, time management, responsibility and understanding other people.”

The NPC response to the Supreme Court ruling today about a woman’s right to make her own health care choices is beyond vapid. It is so weak that it would have better served them just to stay quiet.
