One Heart. One Way.

The purpose of Sigma Kappa is to provide women with
lifelong opportunities and support for social, intellectual
and spiritual development by bringing women together to
positively impact our communities.

Welcome from the newest sorority on the University of Nevada campus, we are the women of Sigma Kappa, Kappa Xi.

The first woman student at Colby College was admitted in 1871. For two years Mary Caffrey Low was the only woman student at Colby College. In 1873, four more young women, Elizabeth Gorham Hoag, Ida Fuller, Frances Mann and Louise Helen Coburn were admitted to Colby and the five young women found friendship. The five young women soon decided to form a literary and social society. Their purpose at the outset was that the sorority should become what it is now, a national organization of outstanding college women called Sigma Kappa.

We, as our founders, are a group of women filled with integrity, spirit, and a dedication to excellence in all areas. The vision of Sigma Kappa is to be a premiere Sorority, forever achieving excellence in our chapters and among our members and influencing the lives of others.
