Students, faculty, and staff who are members of Longwood's Health and Fitness Center are eligible to participate in "Fit Club Challenge: Longwood Edition," which begins Sept. 16. The fee is $3 per participant. Participants are asked to register a team of five to seven members. The registration form can be downloaded from the sorority's web site (listed under September 16).

Teams will be weighed each Monday by members of the Campus Recreation staff to chart their progress. The Challenge is in conjunction with national organization's health platform and is a fundraiser for the chapter. The winning team will be publicized on the chapter's web site.
