Welcome Parents

Dear Parents:
 
We are pleased that your daughter accepted our invitation to membership in Sigma Sigma Sigma (“Tri Sigma”). We welcome her to our national sorority Sisterhood!  Since 1898, Tri Sigma has provided opportunities for growth, academic achievement, leadership development and a lifetime of friendship.
 
Tri Sigma believes in outreach in our communities.  Centering on our theme “Sigma Serves Children”, chapters engage in a variety of efforts for the betterment of children.  Tri Sigma’s philanthropy supports hospital “play therapy” programs for children at North Carolina Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill and Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.
 
As a non-profit corporation, Tri Sigma relies on the dues and fees paid by alumnae and collegiate members to support the general operation of the sorority.  This is returned to the membership through chapter support services, educational programs, publications, leadership conferences and membership development. 
 
Your daughter will also have responsibilities to her local chapter: chapter dues and housing fees (if applicable), academic requirements and attendance at chapter meetings and activities.  Please be aware that Tri Sigma activities should never include underage drinking or hazing.  Instead, chapter activities should meet the social and developmental needs of college students.  Most of all, chapter life should be fun and beneficial to her life as a student.
 
The Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation is a scholarship source and provides funding for leadership and educational chapter programs for your daughter and her chapter members.  The Foundation also secures funding for our philanthropy.  The Foundation welcomes tax-deductible donations!
 
Our commitment is to enhance the lives of women; we promote high moral character and social conscientiousness, enriching the lives of close to 100,000 women.  We hope that you are pleased that your daughter has chosen Tri Sigma.  We are looking forward to providing her with a meaningful and fulfilling life-long experience.
 
We invite you, as parents, to join in the spirit of Tri Sigma.  If you would like to become more involved with the local chapter or in another capacity, please contact us!  

With best regards, 



Laura Sweet
National President
