Well for me, it has been an interesting journey...
When I first found Sigma, I just fell in love with everything about it....
The friendships, my mom (i.e. mom/dot), the colors, Faithful Unto Death, etc.
Then my path veered away from Sigma, I found it briefly again in 1998 and permanently in 2005.
During the years between, I was looking for something that I had found in Sigma, but was in denial about that something and went searching for it somewhere else, but fate made me do some very hard thinking and searching my heart and I realized that Sigma it has always been. I will *always* say, it’s not what you become, it’s what you’ve always been and that is Tri Sigma.
I am pretty heavily involved in researching GLO histories and related issues. I have to tell you that even though I admittedly have a thing for those VA groups, nothing, I mean, NOTHING that I read in any of all the histories that I have, gave me the same feelings, when I was reading about Sigma and the greatness that is our founders and the women who followed to lay down the foundation of what we have before us today.
I also love that the moment when I first walked into the door of the AC chapter; I was welcomed with open arms and immediately accepted as a sister in those ladies eyes. It’s amazing.
That is what is so special about Sigma, the history, the women; the beauty and I will take that away with me forever. It will make me a better person.
I want to see 1 year, 5 years, 10, 20, 50 years from now the special-ness of Sigma reflected in the new sisters to come.
Sigma Love
Gwyn
