Sigma Kappas On Your Campus...
 

...since I was recently initiated, I was wondering what the SigKaps are like at your school. Please tell me exactly what you think...the good, the bad, and the ugly! Thanks guys..and girls!

Sigma Kappa left IU in the mid 90's so I dont know any....wish you guys would recolonize here!

Sigma Kappa's at WSU are great! Very down to earth and caring. I've head that it seems to run from campus to campus that we are seen as down to earth and friendly almost everywhere. I'm so glad you chose Sigma Kappa, I know you'll enjoy having all those wonderful women as your siters!

sisterly love,

at my last school (bgsu in ohio) the sigma kappas lived next door to us (alpha gams) and for the ones that i knew they were pretty sweet girls. kinda quiet and small (chapter size) but nice girls. and we don't have any on my new campus (apsu)

Sigma Kappa here is awesome!!! Some say they are stuck up, because they did so well last rush. But whatever. When I was sad one day one of them gave me a hug. :) A bunch of girls from my dorm last year went SK and a few still want to, who haven't rushed yet. I'd say they are hotties, but the hotties you'd take home to mom, if that makes since. Plus, I kind of used to have a little crush on one of them. ;)

There are no Sigma Kappas at Duke, but there's a chapter at NC State, and they're great girls.

Sigma Kappa isn't doing too well at ASU. Its sad cause some of them are really nice but its been really hard for them to even get near quota.

I am a little biased, but I think the Sigma Ks at Arizona State are fantastic. :) The chapter is a very sincere and classy group. You can find more on this topic on the Sigma Kappa message board.

The Sigma Kappa's at UA are the lower middle. They never make quota and have the highest drop out rate of the sororities on campus. They're supposed to be getting a new house on greek row but they've been saying that forever and construction has yet to start. They're a random assortment of girls but they all seem to be pretty nice. A girl from my hall from my freshman year went Sigma Kappa and I love her so they've got to be alright. Although a girl that I have serious issues with is also Sigma Kappa so they have both types of girl.....

The Sigma Kappas at my school are a great group. The women I worked with through Panhel were very down to earth, friendly, good and kind-hearted people. :)

Are you speaking of the SK's at the University of Arizona? If so, you're right. They've been promising a new house for the last several years. I suspect construction will begin sooner than later, since they've began the other project in the same parking lot across from Gamma Phi. I definitely agree that we are a mixed bunch. BUT...I would like to say that we indeed made quota this past year.:D

Do you still attend UA? Which GLO do you belong to?

We don't have Sigma Kappa here but I have a friend who's a Sigma K at UGA and loves it. From what I've seen, their chapter is a lot of fun, filled with cute, involved girls!

I can't honestly say much good about them here, so I will just say that they have gotten pretty large over the last 2 years... and I'll leave it at that. :)

Yep I do. I am a sophomore here at the U and a member of Alpha Chi Omega. I was under the impression that you came very close to quota but not quite....I know that you did have a fabulous recruitment with lots of great girls though. My friends cousin is one and she's super sweet. I have never met a Sigma Kappa that I didn't like, my PX was one and I loved her. (There is an exception to every rule and there is still that girl who I have issues with...)

We don't have SK but one of my friends was one before she transfered to OSU. She really misses it.

Where are you in school at?

sig kaps at truman state are an awesome bunch of girls. if i had stayed there i probably would have ended up with them, but i transferred and now i'm a chi o! (yay for chi o:D ) but anyhoo, one of my best friends up at truman state is a sig kap and all the girls i met from that chapter were cool :)

At our campus they sort of have a mixed reputation, with a little more emphasis on the bad side. Unfortunatley, I have to be honest that girls in my chapter and theirs fight a lot. There is a BIG rivalry between us. Because they let in a lot of girls who are open about getting around, it gives the rest of them a bad rep. I do have several friends in their chapter that aren't like that, but the most visible ones are, so they are all lumped into that category. Our chapters usually fight over the best girls and usually we get them. I don't know where they are on the quota thing, but a lot of the girls who join drop out. This past semester was better though, I think no one did. One of the reasons I don't like them is because they are dirty rushers. When I went through rush they were sure that I was going SK and when I didn't they were upset. One of the girls who did was always telling me that they hated us and they wanted me to quit my sorority and join them the next year. I wish that we didn't have to have that relationship, but I guess it has been that way since way before I came to school.:(

We no longer have SK on our campus. They had a bad rep when they were here.

Could you guys state the school you attend, or attended?

In KY I know of four chapters.
The one at my school has low numbers and is constantly struggling. They just lost their house and are looking for a new one, they even offered to buy one of ours (we have two) which was really embarressing to them. I know their president very well and she is so awesome. They have a few girls that give them bad names, but they are working on that. The hardest part for them is the name calling, and during rush two rho chis were telling their girls how horrible they though Sigma Kappa were, but they got busted on it and had to pay a fine. I wish them the best, but I don't see it getting better in the NEAR future, hopefully down the road.
At Georgetown University they are what every girl wants to be during rush. They are considered the pretty girls, some are considered the rich daddy's girls, but honestly that is from jealousy. I know every girl in another chapter that I know there wished they were a sigma kappa on bid day. They are very strong and all of the fraternities love them
At the University of Kentucky they aren't doing too well with numbers, either. They are getting better the past two years. One of my friends got a bid from them even though she didn't COB or go through formal and they even gave her lettered shirts. I found that really odd. She still has some SK shirts and I have told her she shouldn't wear them, but then again I don't think they should have given them to her.
At the University of Louisville they are down to earth and kind of quiet. They are not the most outgoing or obvious on campus, but they are there and they do contribute some. I just think they need someone to believe in them.
THat is all I know about them here.

I didn't say my school because I didn't want it to somehow get back to them or something, but I guess you guys could easily figure out my school if you really wanted to... It's Longwood College in Virginia.

I hear ya SSS1365. I could have figured it out. I just didn't feel like searching and my SK book is packed away right not. Anyhow, thanks for the information.:)

Unfortunately the Sigma Kappa chapter at FSU closed in the Spring of 1999. I'm not totally clear on all of the details but I think the girls decided to go alumnae and then revitalize the chapter in a few years. The chapter was starting to turn back around but they were really struggling for quality girls. They had an absolutely gorgeous house though which was occupied by SAE (before they were kicked off campus) and now houses ATO. I'm not sure if they are just renting out the house or if it was sold.

Sigma Kappa came onto Elon's campus the year after I rushed(1998)and they have done EXTREMELY well since then. They always do an amazing job at rush and I know that AOTT is always competeing with them for girls. I also have a close friend in Sigma Kappa whom I just adore, so I am a big fan. The only small complaint I had was when they were a colony, they seemed to be able to get away with a few minor things(not really hazing--just some questionable actions) because they claimed they were new and didn't know. After the third time, it was kind of hard for some of the other GLO's to take, since we knew we would have been busted hard core and had no excuses taken. But this was in the first two years--they have been great on everything since then!!
