Badges
on eBay
Once or twice a month, a Sigma Kappa badge will appear for sale on eBay,
and Sigma Kappas everywhere will sigh with dismay. But what can, and what
should, we do, when we see a badge listed for sale to the highest bidder?
First, how did the badge come to be for sale?
What should a member do when she sees a Sigma Kappa badge listed on eBay?
The benefits of Sigma Kappa membership last a lifetime, and have lifelong influences on its members. Besides offering support, encouragement, and an atmosphere that promotes success and well-being, Sigma Kappa creates opportunities for women to always be a part of a worldwide sisterhood of bright, smart, caring women.
Alumnae have the opportunity to always become involved with Sigma Kappa through an alumnae chapter. Alumnae chapter membership offers a continued sense of sisterhood, support, and enjoyment. To find the alumnae chapter closest to you, visit the Connections Chapter Directory on the Sigma Kappa Web site or contact Jenny Marshall at jmarshall@sigmakappa.org.

Who can be initiated
as an alumna initiate?
Sigma Kappa is always looking for dedicated, caring alumnae initiates
to join our sisterhood. The women may be relatives, friends, and co-workers
that have never joined one of the 26 National Panhellenic Conference (NPC)
groups. They are women that have demonstrated an interest in assisting
college women and have involvement in community affairs. They are willing
to learn about Sigma Kappa and give service back to the organization.
Who should I contact if I wish to recommend a potential alumna initiate?
First, you should talk with the potential alumna initiate. Tell her about
our Sigma Kappa heritage and traditions, philanthropies, and the national
organization. Share special memories that you have about your days as
a Sigma Kappa collegian and the sisters that you have grown to know over
the years. To recommend a potential alumna initiate, contact Barbara Wilmer,
national vice president for alumnae, at national_vpalumnae@sigmakappa.org.
See what's happening in your district and get ideas from other alumnae chapters.

• According
to archive records, the Sigma Kappa field consultant program began in
1938 with the appointment of one traveling secretary, now known as chapter
consultants. In 1982, graduate counselors were added as Sigma Kappa field
personnel. Today, the field consultant program is comprised of both chapter
consultants and graduate consultants.
