Sigma Kappa is Walking!

The sisters of Sigma Kappa are walking...for cures!  On September 10th and September 25th, 2011 sisters walked to cure Alzheimer’s disease and Diabetes.

Every year the Epsilon Chi chapter of Sigma Kappa goes to Roanoke for Memory Walk.  Memory Walk raises money for Alzheimer’s disease research and also raises awareness of the disease and how many families it affects worldwide. There are over 5.1 million Americans that have Alzheimer’s disease, and it is a cause that many people have witnessed through their own family members and friends.  The women joined with hundreds of Roanoke and New River Valley residents to walk through downtown Roanoke and raise funds to research this disease.

The best thing about being in a sorority is having sisters who are always there for you!  On September 25, 2011 the Sisters of Sigma Kappa Sorority joined with their sister Jamie to support her at the 2011 Walk to Cure Diabetes in Roanoke.  The walk is sponsored by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund and raises money for Type I Diabetes research.  The sisters had a wonderful time in Roanoke and were so happy to go support Jamie!
