Two years ago this week, Asha Davenport, a U student and member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority at the U, died after falling from a chairlift at Canyons Resort. Today, Davenport’s sorority sisters are determined to remember her.
Last night, the sorority hosted a dessert night to celebrate her memory. They invited members of the community to the accompanying fundraiser. All proceeds will go to the Epilepsy Foundation in honor of Davenport, who suffered from epileptic seizures.
Emily Glende, chapter president and a junior in history and political science, remembers Davenport’s fun-loving, kind personality.
“She is really a lasting memory to all of our girls,” Glende said. “We remember her often […] she was so fun and very excited about life.”
She said Pi Beta Phi wanted to hold the fundraiser to represent and remember their friend.
“She was a really great girl and we’re not going to forget her, and we really enjoy and appreciate all the support we get from our community,” Glende said.
