The Caribbean Students' Society at Rice was founded five years ago by

March/April. This year's show featured Latin Caribbean and African pieces as
well. The past year also saw CSS participating in various activities with the
Caribbean Students Organization at the University of Houston including an 'Ivan
Hurricane Relief Clothing Drive' and a 'Fall Picnic'. The CSS is about having
fun and representing the wonderful Caribbean region in the broadest way
