Over the years, many tasks have fallen to the mission. Minis­ ters, school teachers, doctors, dentists, and nurses have been brought into areas where the people would otherwise not have had the opportunity to utilize the experiences and services of these professionals.

By BE'ITY Wooo, AA, National Philanthropy Director For some Sigmas philanthropy has been a minor part of their sorority life. When collegiates elect officers, the office of philanthropy chairman is rarely considered one of the choice honors. When I was an active and was elected to the job it was with the comment that because I was a nursing major, I could understand the job. We worked hard that year getting sisters involved in different aspects of our program depending on their skills, talents, and attitudes. Girls found that they could be a part of our philanthropy program without actually going to visit the ill, if that was their desire. When our convention delegates returned with the Budd Award, everyone believed she had helped to earn it. They say that the program was worthwhile not only because of the award, but also because of the delight it gave the elderly at Creedmoor State Hospital and the satisfaction that the sisters had in their accomplishments. I believe that philanthropy is much more than just playing Bingo with the sick aged. It is my job to help others see the importance of our total philanthropy program, to coordinate efforts in the various areas, to give ideas for projects, and to encourage our sisters, both active and alumnae, to take a greater interest in this area of sorority life. Service to others is a part of our sorority function. It is a part that is recognized by non-fraternal members of our society, and a part that will help to elevate the respect and reputation of sororities. We are working to encourage greater participation in our continued philanthropic endeavors by the education of our sisters in all aspects of our program. In addition to the traditional semi-annualletters sent to our chapters, a specific national philanthropy is high­ lighted in a TRIANGLE issue this year. A new philanthropy chairman's handbook is being prepared. It is hoped that greater knowledge will stimulate greater interest and therefore greater participation in our philanthropic program. . Our Bond can only be as strong as we make it by our mutual effort. We need the help of every sister if we are to continue growing and expanding our sorority. An old cliche says that you only get out of something what you put into it. The more we each put into Sigma Kap­ pa, the stronger it will be. Sigma Kappa is a part of me. The more active I am, the more I feel a part of it. It is this feeling of being a part of something, this com­ fortableness or closeness which binds Sigmas together. The more active and closer we are, the stronger we will be. 46 Rush. • • Rush • • • Rush • • •
