Sigm a Kappa Trian g le • Sp ring 2006 www.sigmakappa.org to the Letters Editor A Note from New Orleans
Dear Sisters,
I get dribs and drabs of what the rest of the world knows about what is happening here in New Orleans. What I can tell you from my vantage point at the epicenter of the catastrophe is that things remain in a delicate balance between recovery and despair. The difference between now and eight months ago is not the advancement we've made in "getting back to normal," but instead, we now measure our movement in centimeters forward and inches lateral or backwards.
The arguments that hobble our progress are as diverse as they are the same-FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers, city administration, homeowners, absentee voters, debris removal. So many words that have supplanted others, such as Mardi Gras, Riverwalk, seafood, second line. This was the first time I inwardly digested the solemnity of Lent. The priest came out and said that it would be ludicrous to ask us to "give up" more than we all ready had. What used to be a happy ritual, the Friday night seafood feast, became a more muted celebration in the aftermath of our seafood industry's decimation.
And yet, what I, a guilt-ridden survivor with minor damage to my own property, tell you now is that the chapters, Epsilon Beta collegiate chapter and the Greater New Orleans Alumnae Chapter, are banding together and plowing forward. Many have lost everything; others flooded; some had roof breaches resulting in rain-damaged interiors. Yet their resilient spirits have served as a beacon to many, not only to other Sigma Kappas but to their neighbors, workmates, and strangers on the street. They bear testimony in their actions and attitudes that would make our Founders proud. In a desolate landscape of sepia and dust, they are resplendent in color and atmosphere.
The Epsilon Beta chapter at the University of New Orleans recently held its first Initiation ceremony since Spring, 2005. Seven new initiates now are counted on the roster, and these young women are every bit as charming as they are dedicated. The whole recruitment, new member term, and incoming of this group shine as a pinpoint of light in a bleak environment. Many of these members still live in trailers, rented rooms, sharing cramped quarters with family members or friends, choosing to honor their roots in the region. They are picking up the shards of their lives and comrniting themselves to continuing their educations and rebuilding the foundation of Sigma Kappa at UNO.
The image I retain is of an ant colony. When flooded out, the industrious survivors cling together and hold on, able to float so long as they band together.
It will be a long trudge toward where ..... we are going, whatever, wherever that is. ,.,., For me, one of the greatest treasures and comforts is the knowledge that the sisters - in this region - including those nestled in enclaves along the Gulf Coast, as well as ·-- t our far-flung members who of necessity . le& our area - continue to perservere in .,; . .,.. ... ,. .. t the face of diversity. ~ .. \~~ "~ I T hank you for your prayers, positive ~ affirmations, and emotional and monetary N~-- -'\ support.

More than 200 women returned to The George Washington University Campus in late 2005 to take part in the festivities that had been 100 years in the making. On March 29, 1906, the Panhellenic Council at the The George Washington University formally welcomed the Zeta chapter of Sigma Kappa Sorority into their Greek community.
The women responsible for the strong beginning of Zeta were charter members Grace Evelyn Barbour, Mary Brown Cole, Lulu Elizabeth Connor, May P. Crawford, Augusta Moulton De Forest, Olice West Greene, Katherine Harrington, Jennie Moyer, Ellen Bertha Person, Irene M. Pistorio, Louise Jane Smith, Ethna Gerhardina Wychgel, and Susan Louise Ballentine.
On November 12, 2005, Zeta invited the sisters of Beta Zeta and the alumni members of the Northern VA, Suburban Maryland, and the Baltimore alumnae chapters as well as alumnae of both collegiate chapters to celebrate Founders' Day and commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Zeta chapter.
The festivities started with brunch at the Zeta townhouse, with a slide show memorializing the past years of Zeta and Beta Zeta made possible by Sigma Kappa's founders. Brunch was followed by a program at the Student Union Building that included speeches by both Zeta and Beta Zeta presidents and vice presidents From of alumnae relations, Zeta's Advisory Board ChaU'man Elyta Koh and The History of Collegiate District Director for Sigma Kappa Sorority District 1Jennifer Rainey.

ETA, I LLINOIS WESLEYAN U NIVERSITY 1906-2006
The weekend of February 3-5, 2006 marked the centennial celebration of Eta chapter, the oldest continually active chapter of the sorority. Awhirlwind of weekend activities were held at Illinois Wesleyan University. Sisters and guests began arriving on Thursday and by Friday morning IWU was bursting with Sigma Kappa spirit. The party had begun!
Instead of receiving a regular morning newspaper from the hotel the Illinois Wesleyan newspaper, the ARGUS, was available for visitors to peruse. It featured a front-page article covering the history of Eta and the upcoming events.
The kick-off for the weekend's festivities was a symposium on Friday, "Working Women: Emerging Roles, Evolving Responsibilities,and Changing Career Paths. " The all-Sigma Kappa alumnae panelists included two medical doctors, an attorney, a bank executive, a public relations executive, a nurse/consultant, and a professional photographer/art educator.
On Friday evening, chapter members, alumnae, spouses and friends gathered at a grill, where everyone had a chance to reminisce with old friends and meet sisters from different years. The specially designed Eta centennial t-shirts were available, and were snapped up to commemorate the event.
On Saturday afternoon, a reception was held at the Eta house. It was overflowing with Sigma Kappas, local and university dignitaries, and representatives from the entire Greek community. Immediate Past National President, Lisa Doughty, Theta, Director of Finance Jenny Marshall, Eta, and Collegiate Province Officer Caryl D'hondt, Beta Nu, were in attendance.
Past National President Lisa Doughty presented a resolution from Sigma Kappa national council to Eta, recognizing their I 00 years of dedicaton to the Sorority. University President Richard Wilson remarked how thankful he was for the existance of the chapter and noted that Eta was particularly special to him ever since he arrived at IWU, and Eta was the first chapter to invite him to dinner.
The Saturday night dinner at Bloomington Country Club was enjoyed by more than 100 attendees who spent the evening singing Sigma Kappa songs and mingling with friends, old and new.

Nowhere is this more evident than on the campuses of America's colleges and universities. Ironically, these same campuses are the breeding ground for tomorrow's leaders, the very people who will be expected to find ways to address these issues. That's why Sigma Kappa and 24 other National Panhellenic Conference groups have joined forces to present Stand Up! Stand Out!, a progr~ that builds upon Greek sisters' strength to help each other refuse to give in to negative peer pressure. Stand Up! Stand Out! teaches women that they can rise above the problems that interfere with their goals, and that they have a voice and the right to stand up for their values. How the program works: Stand Up! Stand Out! is a one-time, three-hour presentation that is endorsed by most NPC groups. Greek women on campus organize Stand Up! Stand Out! Presentations. The chapters involved provide financing, typically through sponsorships from local businesses and organizations. Presentations are made the first week after formal recruitment (fall or deferred). All women in the campus Panhellenic communities are invited to be involved in the symposium.
