Happy Founders' Day Sigma Psi!
I'm going to toot my own horn -- Sigma Psi celebrated 108 years in existance on Monday.
The sorority Sigma Psi was found on March 7, 1897, as a study and support group for women on the campus of Western Reserve University. Elsie Davies, Cornelia Olmstead Ranney, Grace Lottridge Richardson, Edith Lottridge Kimball, and Anna Camp Edwards began a strong, independent legacy of women that has spanned more than one hundred years.
Sigma Psi has outlasted many national and local organizations and trends: the Cleveland Press, Cleveland Trust, Pan Am, Sohio, Flora Stone Mather College, Western Reserve University, prohibition, the USSR, the jitterbug, the Macarena, poodle shirts, and big hair, just to name a few. Sigma Psi is older than Alaska and Hawaii. Our early members were denied the right to vote. There is no doubt we will outlast many more organizations and trends, as we continue in our second century.
Sigma Psi is a unique organization. It binds women together like no other. We have made our mark on Sigma Psi individually and as a group. Our members span many different generations. We are doctors, lawyers, teachers, engineers, librarians, nurses, professors, great grandmothers, grandmothers, mothers, and daughters. We are all sisters. We are all Sigma Psi's. It is a bond that cannot be broken.
