The sisters of Epsilon Chi enjoyed a summer full of fun
vacations and then started out the Fall semester strong. At the Sigma Kappa National Convention,
the chapter received the Platinum Giving Circle Award, as well as the Academic
Achievement Award. Several members
held internships over the summer at various places including IMG Academy, Nike,
the Nationals baseball team, and the Department of Defense. Members who lived in the Washington,
D.C. area attended a professional baseball game together in August.

During the first weekend back at school, a sisterhood event
was held in which sisters went tubing down the New River and then held a
cookout afterwards. Sisters set up
“Just aSK” booths at busy locations around campus in order to help freshmen
find their new classes and answer questions about Greek life. Sisters also enjoyed their time at
Gobblerfest, where a table was set up to encourage students to “Go Greek!”
This past weekend, the chapter participated in the annual
Walk to End Alzheimer’s, also known as Memory Walk, where sisters and Blacksburg residents walked three
and a half miles through downtown Blacksburg to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s
Disease. Sisters were able to
raise almost $5,000 to go towards Alzheimer’s Disease Research, which is one of
Sigma Kappa’s largest philanthropies. The sisters greatly enjoyed spending a day contributing to
the effort!
Sigma Kappa is excited to see what the rest of this semester
holds. From beautiful Fall
weather, pumpkin spice lattes, and lots of football, these next few months are
sure to be wonderful!
