Sigma Sigma Sigma is a close-knit group of sisters where each woman finds herself an intricate part of a group, not lost in a crowd.  Every woman has a special role within the chapter and is encouraged to take part in other campus activities. From our earliest days, we seek out others to accompany us on our journey. There will be many acquaintances as we travel along our path. Among them will be found some with whom we feel a special bond…a rapport to be welcomed and nurtured. There may be one or two…there may be a hundred. 

​

Is it any wonder then, that eight young women, away from home and family, found each other and began their journey in friendship? They stepped out on a path from Farmville, Virginia in 1898, sharing a special bond as friends who regarded each other as sisters. They reached out to others who joined them on the journey. Together, they established a sisterhood called Sigma Sigma Sigma. We find friends within the bonds of Tri Sigma. We regard these friends as sisters. We enter into a state of being Sisters. We are a Sisterhood. 

Tri Sigma’s calendar is always full.  We sponsor campus wide events such as the Bunny Bash, an Easter party for underprivileged children, Mr.SJU, a male beauty pageant.  We also support many campus-wide activities such as the Hand-In-Hand Festival, and Up ‘til Dawn.  Many plans are already in the making for this semester.  In Tri Sigma, you are not a sister for just a month, a semester, or a year, but for life.  The bonds of friendship that you make in Sigma Sigma Sigma are forever.
