Tri Sigma National Sorority has been named the 2024 Research Partner of the Year by March of Dimes, the leading organization fighting for the health of all moms and babies. This prestigious recognition honors Tri Sigma's outstanding dedication to supporting life-saving research that advances maternal and infant health outcomes. “March of Dimes is proud to be a research-focused organization, funding millions of dollars of original scientific research each year, and it is with immense gratitude that we recognize our National Service Partner, Tri Sigma, as our research partner of the year,” said March of Dimes Community Mobilization Director Michaela Penix. Since 2016, Tri Sigma has partnered with March of Dimes with a shared vision to serve children. Member participation in the March for Babies, advocacy work, and donations made through the Tri Sigma Foundation have helped to further life-saving research that will ensure healthy moms and strong babies for generations to come. March of Dimes' five Prematurity Research Centers serve as the cornerstone of the organization's research program, employing some of the most dedicated and accomplished scientists in the world to work on the most difficult and pressing scientific questions in the field—and most importantly, to find answers that will prevent preterm birth and improve outcomes for mothers and babies. “It was inspiring to meet other national service partners of the March of Dimes and hear how their organizations are involved in this important work,” said Tri Sigma National Vice President Crystal Jones who attended a partner brunch and day of action in March of Dimes’ National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. last month. “It feels good to know we are in this fight together to end preventable maternal and infant death, to discover the causes of preterm birth and to achieve birth equity for all mothers.” As one of March of Dimes' 17 National Service Partners, Tri Sigma joins a distinguished group of organizations, including six National Pan-Hellenic Council  fraternities and sororities, Future Business Leaders of America , and Key Club International   in the collaborative effort to improve maternal and infant health outcomes nationwide. “From community educational programs to fundraising events, our partners do more than just raise awareness of the organization’s critical mission—they help us save moms and babies through volunteering, fundraising, and advocacy,” Michaela said.  Tri Sigmas are encouraged to join the fight for healthy babies and moms in their local communities through a variety of ways: ·      Participate in a March for Babies  near you. ·      Register for March of Dimes Advocacy Action Alerts . ·      Volunteer for March of Dimes . ·      Connect with your local March of Dimes about leadership opportunities . Members can also financially support March of Dimes by making a donation through the Tri Sigma Foundation . Be sure to select “Sigma Serves Children” in the support area dropdown menu to amplify your support of our philanthropic focus .

Each year, hundreds of communications and marketing professionals from fraternal organizations, professional membership associations, and honor societies gather for the Fraternity Communications Association ’s annual conference. One highlight of the event is the recognition banquet, where the industry’s best work from the previous year is honored.   Tri Sigma is pleased to announce its Marketing & Communications Team has received the following 2025 FCA Awards based on work completed in 2024:    MAGAZINE EXCELLENCE AWARDS  Feature Design (Staff-Designed) – 2 nd  Place   “Amplifying Sorority”   Written and designed by Sr. Director of Marketing & Communications Jennifer Freeman Thompson, “Amplifying Sorority”  aimed to educate members of all generations on the evolving ways prospective members are recruited, engaged, and supported beyond the new member period.  To enhance readability and visual interest, the article used creative sidebars and oversized graphics to guide readers through complex information. Entries were judged on the creative use of visual elements to enhance reader experience, overall attractiveness, and relevance to the intended audience.   MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS AWARDS  Website Improvement – 1 st  Place   TriSigma.org Redesign After seven years without a major update, Tri Sigma launched a fully redesigned website in February 2024. Guided by user feedback and brand personality exercises, the new site offers a more modern look, a streamlined menu, longer scrolling pages, and improved access to high-priority content for members, potential new members, and parents. Entries were judged on user experience, relevance, and overall improvement to the content and design.

The website reinforced Zeta Chi Chapter’s brand through bright photography and use of brand colors consistent with other digital and print materials published throughout the reestablishment period.  The website was designed by Jennifer Freeman Thompson and Director of Growth Initiatives Kailea Marshall, Zeta Gamma–Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Entries were judged on  quality, consistency and organization of content, overall design, ease of navigation, and relevance to the intended audience.  Publication Improvement (Non-Magazine) – 1 st  Place   To Be Steadfast  New Member Guide   Fall 2024 new members were the first to receive To Be Steadfast , an 84-page companion guide to Tri Sigma's updated new member onboarding program.

Levere Award for Total Communication – 1 st  Place   Reestablishment at Coastal Carolina University   The William C. Levere Award for Total Communications—one of FCA's most coveted awards—honors the top comprehensive communications plan and execution. This prestigious award, which an organization may only receive once every three years, honored Tri Sigma’s extension and reestablishment effort for the Zeta Chi Chapter at Coastal Carolina University—our first extension effort in 4 years.  The year-long campaign included a variety of meaningful touchpoints to several key audiences, including emails and direct mail sent to local alumnae and emails, paid and organic social media, and a dedicated website targeted toward potential new members at Coastal Carolina University. Our efforts were reinforced through promotional items and in-person events once the fall 2024 term began.  "This entry is leaps and bounds the best of the bunch! Very well-articulated goals and measurable objectives make it easy to see that the campaign was a success. The materials are nicely done, carry the brand well, and the results are clear. This was an outstanding entry and provided exactly the information any professional gold-standard marketing/coms plan should include: goals/measurable objectives, comprehensive strategies and tactics, and clear evaluation of the metrics you set for success." – JUDGES REMARKS This initiative was a significant milestone in expanding the reach of our sisterhood and reintroducing the organization’s presence on campus. The successful reestablishment of the Zeta Chi Chapter was made possible by a strong partnership and collaboration between the Growth Initiatives, Collegiate Experience, and Marketing & Engagement, Teams. "I am extremely proud of our small-but-mighty team and the work that we do," Jennifer said. "Nearly everyone on staff played a role in the reestablishment's success, which makes the honor winning the Levere Award even more special for Tri Sigma." FCA received more than 749 submissions from 75 member organizations, and 28 organizations received awards for outstanding efforts in a variety of writing, design, and communication categories. A list of all winners and categories can be found here . Additionally, Jennifer Freeman Thompson was elected to serve as Director of Recognition on FCA’s Board of Directors  for 2025–26.
