A Note from the VPAR
Hello my beautiful alumnae! I hope you all are having
an amazing summer! I just want to say how thankful I
am that we have so many alumnae that are still active
with our chapter and keep in touch with me as much as
possible. It really makes my position so much more
enjoyable! I cannot wait to get my second semester as
VPAR underway!
In this newsletter, I’m very excited to share with all of
you the exciting events that have happened at the Sigma
Kappa National Convention that was held in Las Vegas,
Nevada! I’m also excited to share the plans for formal
recruitment this fall! Please enjoy all the pictures from
our sisters that traveled around the world for school and
vacation!
Also, don’t forget about the Greek Reunion coming up
in September! If any of you have any ideas for events I
can host for you all, please let me know!
LISK,
Sam Minard

Take a Look
Into Our Chapter
National Convention
For the 86th Sigma Kappa National Convention we had sisters Terra Soto and Lexie
Finnegan represent our chapter, along with our advisors Jessica Richards and Paige
Stevenson. Convention was held on June 18th – 21st in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Green
Valley Ranch Resort, with the theme, “Our Time to Shine”.
Terra and Lexie went to various workshops from Risk Management to Leadership Skills to
“Motivating the Middle”. All these workshops will help bring new skills and valuable
information back to help us become an even greater chapter, both by increasing SOE points
and strengthening sister relations. Terra and Lexie got to meet some amazing sisters
including National president Cheri Morrell De Jong, 2014 Miss America Nina Davuluri, and
sisters from other chapters in Ohio.
I am very happy to announce that we will be introducing a new Executive Board position,
Vice President of Programming! They will be
responsible for programming at informal chapter
meetings, the chapter calendar, committees, and ritual
supervision.
Another large change is the removal of CPO and ABC
for the chapters. They will be replaced by the new
officer position Collegiate District Coordinator (CDC).
The 87th National Convention will take place in
Chicago July 6th – July 9th 2016!
