Recruitment 2011

skwebmaster — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 00:36:30 +0000

Bid Day- It’s almost better than Christmas. This year we had forty nine amazing women running down South Virginia to our oversized letters! The months of preparation by our Vice President of Membership, Jordan Yoder; the Continuing Membership Chairman, Chelsey Farnworth, as well as the members of Sigma Kappa made Recruitment 2011 a success. Through the days and nights of constant decorating, coffee, and several hair and make up changes, we have finally seen all of the hard work pay off. Congratulations to our amazing new members and active members of Sigma Kappa give yourself a pat on the back for an amazing new member class of Fall 2011!

New Year-New Rooms!!

skwebmaster — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 22:21:42 +0000

This year we have a whole new group of girls moving into the house for the first time, girls switching room, redecorating, cramming as many clothes as possible into the closets, all while trying on all the others shoes and clothes they can manage! It’s the day we all look forward to! Everyone is finally together again and getting settled in the Sigma Kappa Kappa Xi home! During the summer we communicate through Facebook wall posts, group Skype dates, text messages, and long phone calls so it is no surprise that the day everyone begins moving in is the day that everyone looks forward to. This is not just because of the great experiences that are bound to follow, and that recruitment is right around the corner, but because our Sigma Kappa family is finally back together.
Ask anyone and they will tell you most of their memories have occurred late at night between random moments at the house. It is an amazing experience that everyone has the chance to be a part of. There is always someone willing to go for a Wal Mart run at midnight, go to the gym or for a run around campus, or a late night study break at USwirl. The Sigma Kappa house is not just a house with thirty-eight women living there, it is a home filled with sisters and best friends.

Ready for Recruitment?

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about the amazing women of Sigma Kappa. It is a privilege to serve as president for the 2010 Chapter of the Year at the University of Nevada, Reno. Since our first year on campus in 2006, Sigma Kappa has continued to strive in academics, sisterhood, community service, and campus wide events. We also participate in events such as dances, socials with other greek houses, and our very own philanthropy event Sketti Night. Most importantly, friendships are made within Sigma Kappa, with other sorority and fraternity members, and with collegiates at the university that will last a lifetime. We are so excited for recruitment this fall and hope to see you there!

Got Sketti?

Serving pounds upon pounds of spaghetti at all hours of the night proves to be one of the most successful philanthropy events of the year! We are very proud to say that we are raising money for Alzheimer Awareness, Gerontology, the Maine Sea Coast Mission, and Inherit the Earth. This year we raised just under $9000. This money goes to all of these foundations as our Ultra Violet campaign. Alumni, families, and all students come to join us in our efforts to make a difference! We would also like to take the time to thank all of our sponsors! Without all of your support we would not be able to make this event possible!

Dressed for Success!!

This year, at the All Greek Ball the Kappa Xi chapter of Sigma Kappa joined the other fraternities and sororities at the University of Nevada, and showed outstanding growth. Being the newest Panhellenic sorority on campus we had a lot to live up to. Thanks to our outstanding leadership, amazing support, and hard working members we showed the rest of the Greek community the immense success we have reached. As a chapter we won a total of five awards. These included Chapter Advisor of the Year, Most Outstanding President, Academic Excellence, Most Improved Chapter, and Chapter of the Year.
We are very proud of our success and will continue to work towards improvements for the upcoming years.

We LOVE our New Members! Fall 2010 Pledge class!!!

Welcome Home!

New roommates!!!

New rooms, new roommates, cute decorations, and endless nights of laughter. Welcome home Sigma Kappas!

Everyone is getting ready to live under one roof with 37 other amazing women, although it may sound like it would be difficult, everyone has found out that it’s not even close. It’s a great time full of fun and entertainment! They have access to friends 24/7. There’s always something to do whether that’s going for a run in the morning or finding shopping buddies to go to Forever 21 with. Soon enough, groups of girls will be studying late nights for their chem classes with Starbucks in hand.

There’s something to do for everybody.

Sigma Kappas sure do know how to make the house feel like home!
