Kappa-Sigma Weekend

[tanya2682]

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you had any ideas of what could be involved in a Kappa-Sigma Weekend. What events/activities would your chapter hold (community service, etc)?

Thanks in advance,

I would host a community service event. Probably one that is sensitive yet critical and should be addressed by both male and females. I would do the "Rejesta V. Perry Birth Right" program where we work with mothers and children who are HIV+ or living with AIDs.

I think in working with any male group, I would try to take advantage of the unique opportunities presented. By co-sponsoring events with a male group, I would try to capitilize on events that can impact both women and men in our community. AIDs is a serious pandemic in our community.

Another idea would be a program celebrating TRAIL BLAZING sisters & brothers. Being that both of our organizations were founded in a predominately white community at a challenging time in American history, I would salute sisters & brothers who dared to be different, dared to stand out, stand up and make a difference. In Sigma's case, a difference that has shone brightly for more than 80 years now! (On the Nov 12)

Lastly, I would suggest doing a program on domestic violence. You could titled it something geared toward sustaining healthy relationships with a particular focus on the Black Family. Many times, women are the ones who hear the information regarding domestic violence but our men sometimes don't. Co-sponsoring an event such as this with a male org. would incorporate a wholistic approach to this issue and hopefully spread the knowledge & reduce the occurance of domestic violence in the black community! I mean we are after all, leaders, trail blazers, family!

Best Wishes on your upcoming programming. Whatever is decided, make sure it is QUALITY and WORTHY of the SIGMA LEGACY of "GREATNESS". Sigma Gamma Rho...the "Greater" Sorority, Since 1922!

Sisterly,

Thanks ladies for your ideas. I will tell you all how it turned out.

I have just one last question. If the Kappas dont turn out should i invite another fraternity to join us in the event instead?

O.K.

First Soror let me say that Sigma Women are about QUALITY & EXCELLENCE! This means we are professional and business minded in all programming we undertake.

If you & your chapter has any inkling of an idea that *any* group you are or will be working with is NOT up to par, you need to cut your losses and function on your own OR with another group that meets and beats our expectations in the "handling business" department.

We are a sisterhood uniquely founded, on our own, without assistance from other NPHC org.'s on a campus in the face of adversity WITHOUT the support of OUR community. We have a long RHOyal history of being TRAIL BLAZING women, who dared to be different, and who "did it" and continue to "do it" all by our Dammie(colloquial exp. - read all by ourselves).

With that being said, you put on your Sigma week in quality & excellence regardless of what every one else is or is NOT doing.

Sigma women have never been one's to just go with the flow or follow the masses. RepRHOsent the quality & excellence of Sigma period. And make it a point to work with organizations that REFLECT that qualities and values you treasure.

You attract what you radiate!

Best wishes on your programming,
