Recruitment Picture Chapter Challennnngggeeee

It’s that time of year again…

Over the next several weeks (and few months), sorority recruitment will take place! Sigma Kappas around the nation are busy preparing as we type, and we want to see it! Send us your work week, recruitment, and Bid day photos through the submit and we’ll post them as they come. Then when all the fall recruitment periods are over, we’ll post them again and let y’all vote on the best picture!

Please include with your submission your name (if you want), chapter (i.e. Alpha Chapter), the university or college your chapter is at, and maybe a quick description of what’s going on in the pic(s). 

READY SET GO!

Today we have a super exciting Shopping Saturday (even though in some parts of the country it is, in fact, Sunday) because we are doing a REVIEW of a fun Sigma Kappa product! 
The fantastic ladies at Greek Girl Shop sent us a Dove Love Tote Bag and we are happy to be reviewing it here.  

The tote bag is well made and more durable than we expected. It’s also pretty big on the inside! So far it’s been used as a purse, a beach bag, and a reusable shopping bag and it’s gotten a few compliments!

The bag is available from greekgirlshop.com for $15 and they have great group pricing, so grab a sister or two or ten and get to shopping! 

PHOTOS ABOVE: The first ones are greekgirlshop.com’s official pictures, the rest are ours. They show the bag hanging up, resting with all the things we’ve fit in it, and the super cute Greek Girl Shop logo that can be found on the inside.

Hey Sigma Kappas!

fyeahsigmakappa has gotten a few requests for Sigma Kappa graphics. It seems that a lot of greek life communities change their facebook profile picture and/or banner to something go-greek or house related during recruitment. We have a few, but if anyone else has some awesome SK graphics (especially fb banner or desktop-sized) please send them our way so we can share with everyone! Thanks!!! 
Dove Love.  

Sister Sunday: Anna!

1. Link to your Tumblr/Name/Chapter/School

cowboybootsandpick-uptruckssubmitted:

My name is Anna :) I go to Elmhurst College in the suburbs of Chicago, and I am a part of the Zeta Iota chapter of Sigma Kappa! 

2. Tell us about yourself and when you joined and why you chose Sigma Kappa.
I will be a junior at Elmhurst. I am a Journalism Major with a Dance and Music minor…I want to be a writer who writes about dance or music…but we’ll see if that actually happens. I joined in the fall of 2010 when I was a freshman. Sigma Kappa wasn’t my first choice in the beginning, but when I got my bid I accepted. I am SO glad I did. I don’t think I would be happy anywhere else. Sigma Kappa has taught me so many valuable lessons! 


3. Tell us about your chapter! How old is it? Do you have a house/dorm suite/lodge? Do you have traditions different from other chapters? What is greek life like at your school?
My chapter will be celebrating its 35th birthday this coming fall! We are all super excited and we are gonna have a HUGE party! We don’t have a house or anything because in the city where our school is located it is considered a brothel when there are more than 4 people of the same sex with different last names living in the same house…silly, right? Greek life is taking off at my school. There are three sororities and three fraternities ( that doesn’t really seem like a lot.) 

4. Tell us about your big, little, etc.
My big, Alex,  is the most amazing woman who has ever walked the planet. She is gorgeous, strong, and has a huge heart. She always knows just what to say to make anything better. We have a secret big/little handshake that only her and I know. My twin, Christine, is my best friend. We are total opposites, but I will love her unconditionally. My littles are my babies. Hannah is more like me that anyone I have ever met. We both share an obsession with country music. Beth is a spunky little spit fire. I love her so much! She is funny and charismatic! My grandbaby, Emma, is just like her big: Spunky and charismatic. My family is growing so much and it just fills my heart with happiness! 


5. What is your favorite SK memory?
Every minute I spend with my sisters. It’s impossible to pick a favorite memory. One memory that sticks out is retreat this past fall. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life AND I got my two beautiful littles! :) 

6. If you could give once piece of advice to a baby dove what would it be?
You get what you put in to the sorority. If you are involved, take a position, or put yourself out there; you will see just how beautiful Sigma Kappa really is. 
7. What would you change about your chapter (or Sigma Kappa in general) if you could? Being more on time. We are always running a half hour late for almost everything! 


8.  Are you open to being followed, messaged, and/or sisterstalked?
Yes, yes, a million times yes! I would love to meet all of my sisters who are out there! yay sisters! 


9. Anything else to add??
I love meeting sisters. I love wearing my sigma kappa clothes because that means that I might get to meet girls who share the letters I am wearing! :D

fyeahsigmakappa: 
SO nice to meet you, Anna! We hope you get SUPER sisterstalked:)

Sister Sunday: Erin!

1. Name? 

Erin- http://hereyouleavetoday.tumblr.com/

2. Chapter/School?

Oregon State University- Upsilon Chapter


3. When did you join Sigma Kappa? Did you do formal recruitment?

I went through formal recruitment in the fall of 2010 as a freshman. It has been the best decision I have made in college.

4. Tell us about your big, little, G, GG, etc, and your family as a whole. 

I am part of the Epic-Badass family and this year we have grown exponentially.this is us last year. (I am the blonde one next to the wall)

My big is always there for me and that is the reason why she is my big. Even before we were big/littles she knew when I needed a hug and a pep talk. I can always be honest with her and her with me.

This was before we got my twin who is not pictured. She is the funniest person and is the perfect person to watch south park with while cleaning our room and making weird noises.

These are my littles on Pillow/Paddle exchange. They made me the best Disney paddles in the whole world, I love to just stare at them in my room. I gave them pillow pets with a Sigma Kappa sewn onto the inside. I am really excited about them. They just got initiated and I feel like I have really bonded with them over different things. A week or two ago I got them their first sets of letters! I cannot wait to see how they turned out and give it to them!


5. What is your favorite Sigma Kappa memory?

My favorite Sigma Kappa memory was the moment the last girl left our house on preference night. We blasted the music and danced in the living room for an hour, every single one of my sisters was there dancing like fools. We were still in our heels and purple cocktail dresses. My sister Nicole and I did the worm while other dougied. It was pure magic.

6. What makes Sigma Kappa different from all the other great sororities? 

Sigma Kappa is full of real girls. I am not afraid to show my weird Disney obsession with my sisters because I know they will accept me. We’re all different and we all accept each other for those differences instead of judging them for their quirks. 

7. What’s the best gift you’ve ever gotten as a Sigma Kappa?

The best gift I have gotten are my paddles from my littles. They knew exactly what would be perfect for me, they wanted me to cry but I didn’t but I should have because the paddles are so amazing! But also I love all my sisters and I do not know what I would be or where I would be if they were not in my life.

8. What advice do you have for girls who are considering rushing? 

 It is a stressful week but stick through it. And even if you did not get your first choice on bid day, it is the right house for you. Stick it out. One of my sisters dropped out of formal recruitment and ended up joining Sigma Kappa during informal recruitment. It may hurt when you don’t make a connection with a house you thought you made one with but everything works out in some incredible ways. 

9. Anything else to add? 

I cannot believe how lucky I have been to be in such an incredible house. I would give up anything for these girls and I cannot wait to see what is next to come!
fyeahsigmakappa:
Looks like this girl’s got it figured out! Go Upsilon! We’ve been hearing great things:)

3. When did you join Sigma Kappa? Did you do formal recruitment?
Fall ‘11. Baby Dove :) And yes, I went through formal recruitment

4. Tell us about your big, little, G, GG, etc, and your family as a whole. 
I’m in the Farm Family which is one of the smaller familys in our chapter. My big’s name is Leann.  The day before we had to make our big list, 2 other girls in the chapter texted me and told me that Leann and I would be perect big/little. So then Leann texted me and was like “Hey. Wanna go to Panera?” and I was like “duh”. So then we went. We’re really comfortable around each other and we’re both big sweethearts/good girls. haha. She is Vice President of Communications for spring 11 and Fall 12. SO PROUD. :) 


All of our New Member meetings had themes. Ashley, Me, Megan, and Hailey on Disney Night.

5. What is your favorite Sigma Kappa memory?

One night after a meeting, me and some of the girls I’m closest to in my pledge class were sitting in the formal just hanging out and ALL of the upperclassmen kept popping their heads in and asking us what we were scheming. And we were just sitting there! Amy, our president, was like “I’ve got my eye on you”. We were literally just sitting in the formal. It was hilarious.

6. What makes Sigma Kappa different from all the other great sororities? 
My chapter does SO many great things for our community.   That’s something I really love about it. We’re all about helping people. Another thing that I love is how weird everyone is. You think you’re weird and then you get to know your sisters and you realize they’re freaking weird too. I love it.

7. What’s the best gift you’ve ever gotten as a Sigma Kappa?
Well, Leann is the cutest little crafter ever. But, my favorite gift is the Lavalier my mom passed down to me.

8. What advice do you have for girls who are considering rushing? 
Don’t be nervous. You’re just talking to girls who want to know you! They want you to feel comfortable. And don’t stress about which sorority to pick or getting a bid. You’ll know which one you belong to. And they’ll know you belong there. It all works out how it’s supposed to.

9. Anything else to add? 
Dove Loveeee to the max <3

Leann and I on Big/Little reveal. Our VPNME told us we had a mandatory self defense meeting and then surprised us with reveal. I think I cried. Which is really embarassing lol

fyeahsigmakappa:
