In need of some inspiration..

I think a lot of students struggle as they go through school. Classes become more and more focused on getting you out that sororities seem to lose importance. But from the beauty of our ritual to the late night Steak'n'Shake trips with my closest sisters I do believe the benefits outweigh the hangups.

Suggestions for you include getting involved as an officer where you can help "fix" the motivation of others as well. Planning sisterhood events like going to dinner before chapter. It's something that doesn't require extra work from you but you can all do it together.

Sigma Kappa means many things to me that don't quite fit on paper either. "sisterhood" feels to obvious, "friends" is too generic, but you know "mystic bond" fits rather perfectly. I've connected with every SigKap I've ever met. And how amazing is it that I could move to Boston or California and have a group of women who would help me out and be interested in my success!

For me (especially after my close friends graduated, before me) Sigma Kappa was about pride. I was proud to be someone who could wear our badge and I honestly believed that I worked to be that person our badge described every day. I wanted to exemplify our colors, our ritual, our history, because the interpretation I found was how I believed people should treat each other and themselves in day to day life. Although during my last year at school I didn't find myself very connected to my sisters (unfortunately), I found myself very focused on trying to help others see how Sigma Kappa fit into life as a whole. How chapter meetings prepared you to be a strong career woman; how our standards reminded you that you are accountable for your actions; how our initiation vows were a promise to be woman of integrity, woman who could be counted on. I also kept in my that Sigma Kappa was bigger than my chapter. Always keep that in mind (even though sometimes it is hard to grasp).

You might suggest to the VPNME or the EVP to ask the seniors if they would take some time to talk to the newly initiated members. Telling them about their experiences at Sigma Kappa and the things they have learned through it. It would help the younger sisters to see the good in their organization and it would help the older sisters feel more connected and maybe reminded of why they joined and what they loved about their experience.
