It is with tremendous sorrow we report the passing of past Walton House Board Chair Inez Norwood Fridley, Gamma Beta–East Carolina University, and past Tri Sigma Foundation Board member Francis Wilhelm Redmon, Alpha Nu–Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Both passed into Omega Chapter on March 11, 2024. Inez received a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1966 and a master’s degree from East Carolina University where she was initiated in 1973. A longtime resident of Greenville, North Carolina, she was extremely active in her community, having served on both the town council and as Mayor Pro Tem. She served Tri Sigma on the Walton House Board of Directors for nearly 20 years, held various Convention committee roles through the years, and was a past President of the Gamma Beta House Corporation. She was the recipient of the Founders Award, Outstanding National Officer Service Award, and had recently been presented with a Golden Violet, of which she was so very proud. “Inez Fridley was a modern Renaissance woman. She loved her family, her neighbors, Greenville, and East Carolina University. She delighted in all forms of art, history and nature,” said longtime friend and Past Executive Council President Laura Ward Sweet. “Inez made us all better.” Inez is survived by her two sisters and three special nieces, one of whom was named after her. Online condolences can be made here. Frances—or Fran as she was known to her Tri Sigma sisters—graduated from the University of Illinois in 1961 with a bachelor’s degree in Speech Education. She had previously attended Southern Illinois University Carbondale where she was initiated in 1956 and later served as Chapter President. She began a career in fashion and modeling and later pursued her dream of singing, dancing, and acting. After moving to Alexandria, Virginia, she remained active in the arts through involvement with several groups, including the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra, Alexandria Singers, and the Little Theatre of Alexandria. In 1998, she was appointed to the Virginia Commission for the Arts by the then governor. Fran was a member of the Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter and previously served on the Tri Sigma Foundation Board of Directors and as a national sorority volunteer. She is a past recipient of the Emily Gates Alumna Achievement Award, an Alumna Recognition Award, and the Golden Violet. “Fran will be missed by the many sisters she impacted. Whether through the Foundation Board, the Northern Virginia Alumnae Chapter, or the many other places where she gave of her time and her talents, we will feel this loss deeply,” said Foundation Board Chair JeanMarie Komyathy Mattingly. “She loved Tri Sigma and was a wonderful member for many years!” She is survived by her husband, son, and two granddaughters. Online condolences can be made here. Sympathy cards may be mailed for both women to Tri Sigma National Headquarters at 207 North Muhlenberg Street, Woodstock, VA 22664, to be sent to the family.

Tri Sigma has partnered with OurHouse, a chapter management and group communication app for fraternity and sorority chapters. Designed to serve as a central hub for chapter operations, it will empower Tri Sigma chapters to run more efficiently. Members will have access to a real-time chapter event calendar and newsfeed, polling features, a document portal, excuse submissions, service and study hour submissions, and more. The OurHouse app also offers study time tracking, emergency check-ins, photo sharing for social media and recruitment, group and direct messaging, and member-to-member in-app calling and texting. For housed chapters with meal service, the app will accommodate late plate requests and allow diners to anonymously provide meal feedback to the chef. All chapters can keep track of food allergies or dietary needs for their events. Other offerings like push notifications, member rosters, activity point tracking, document storage, and a polling feature will help chapter leaders, NHQ and the Foundation streamline communications. Both collegiate and alumnae chapters will also have updated websites provided through OurHouse. Websites and other services will be provided by NHQ free of additional charges for chapters. OurHouse is a Los Angeles-based technology provider founded by a team of former executive council officers from Sigma Nu Fraternity at UCLA. The OurHouse app is available in the Apple and Google Play stores and serves as a central hub for more than 200,000 daily users, including members of Alpha Phi, Sigma Kappa, Theta Phi Alpha, and more.

Tri Sigma National Headquarters has announced the organization will reestablish its Zeta Chi Chapter at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina, in fall 2024. Tri Sigma’s Zeta Chi Chapter was originally founded at CCU in 1997 and closed in 2021, citing low morale and membership numbers. With sorority registration numbers and enrollment improving since the closure, campus leadership feels 2024 is the ideal time to successfully reestablish. “We are thrilled to bring Tri Sigma back to Coastal Carolina. Our return to Teal Nation will be focused on providing an outstanding member experience, a commitment to serving others, and abundant individual opportunities for lifelong personal and leadership growth,” said National President Joyce O’Daniel. Coastal Carolina University is a public liberal arts institution with an enrollment of more than 10,000. Among its 145 student clubs and organizations, Tri Sigma will be among six other National Panhellenic Conference sororities on campus, including Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Xi Delta, Chi Omega, Gamma Phi Beta, Sigma Kappa, and Phi Sigma Sigma. The University offers 100+ undergraduate fields of study as well as doctoral and masters programs across six academic colleges. Questions regarding this reestablishment may be sent to Sr. Director of Membership Engagement Daina Knoblock at dknoblock@trisigma.org. Tri Sigma alumnae members interested in volunteering to assist with the reestablishment or serve on the Zeta Chi’s Chapter Advisory Board, are encouraged to apply here.

Tri Sigma National Sorority is pleased to announce the chartering of its Upstate South Carolina Alumnae Chapter. Though officially approved by Executive Council this spring, an event was held Aug. 19 at Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC, to celebrate the official presentation of the chapter’s charter. “Tri Sigma is thrilled to strengthen our alumnae presence in South Carolina,” said National President Joyce O’Daniel. “We look forward to the positive impact the Upstate South Carolina Alumnae Chapter members will make through philanthropic service in the local community.” Christi Jones-McNeill, Delta Pi–Winthrop University, serves as Alumnae Chapter President. Other elected officers include Treasurer Marsha’l Hines, Epsilon Theta–Oglethorpe University; Programming Officer Bailey Sherwood, Delta Theta–University of North Carolina at Pembroke; Public Relations Officer Cammie Wolfe, Zeta Chi–Coastal Carolina University; Membership Officer Megan Horton, Eta Beta–Newberry College; and Co-Philanthropy Officers Courtney Giles, Eta Beta–Newberry College, and Shelly Rowan, Epsilon Pi–Presbyterian College. Tri Sigma has nearly 140,000 lifetime members, and the Upstate South Carolina Alumnae Chapter marks Tri Sigma’s 95th alumnae chapter. Local alumnae interested in joining can request upcoming meeting information at upstatesctrisigma@gmail.com.

Tri Sigma has announced a new collegiate chapter leadership structure designed to create a more streamlined and efficient system for chapters. This change hopes to alleviate many of the struggles chapters have faced, such as long committee meetings, unbalanced responsibilities, cluttered officer communication, and a lack of clarity of roles and reporting. Additionally, the new position titles are more in line with similar post-collegiate professional roles, and the revised structure more closely reflects those in corporate settings. Tri Sigma’s new collegiate leadership structure consists of an 8-person officer team, as well as 10 manager positions, three additional optional positions based on chapter needs, and the opportunity for as many chapter advisory positions as needed to support the chapter. Chapters with less than 20 members eligible to serve in these positions follow the Minimalistic Leadership Structure (MLS) that combines officer responsibilities resulting in a 4-person officer team. The new structure aims to provide: Transferable real-world experience for our members Further development of leaders who guide the direction of the chapter Increased effectiveness in addressing individual member and chapter needs Streamlined communication channels both locally and nationally We look forward to offering more specific leadership development opportunities, as well as additional training, resources, and targeted communications. The Chapter Advisory Board structure has been updated to better support chapter leaders and provide C.A.B.s with the autonomy to recruit advisors to serve on the board. The new roles will begin in January 2024.

Tri Sigma has received the Campus Prevention Network Seal of Prevention for the second year in a row. Presented by Vector Solutions, the CPN Seal of Prevention represents the highest standard for online prevention education with a rigorous set of criteria to ensure measurable impact is made across the critical areas of sexual assault, alcohol and drug misuse, mental health, and diversity and inclusion. Tri Sigma is committed to promoting a safe environment and educating students and advisors on harm reduction through education, training, and tools to help students make responsible choices and to understand the consequences of their choices. “Since implementing GreekLife.Edu, we have seen a 34% decrease of high-risk drinkers and 52% increase in members’ confidence in intervening to help another member,” said Tri Sigma’s Associate Director of Enablement Lorin Phillips. “Harm reduction is often less about policies and more about taking care of one another, creating a culture of care, and caring enough to confront another member if they demonstrate harmful behaviors.” In addition to recruiting and training highly skilled SAFE Team volunteers, Tri Sigma’s data-driven prevention plan includes the Prevention Institute, a biennial in-person program focused on helping students develop the skills needed to create their own local prevention plan, including chapter retreats to proactively prevent high-risk behaviors within their chapter. “This recognition from the Campus Prevention Network is a testament to the staff, volunteers, and chapter officers who work tirelessly to foster a safer and more inclusive collegiate experience for our members,” said Tri Sigma National President Joyce Newcom O’Daniel. “We appreciate Vector Solutions and the resources they provide to assist us in our harm prevention and inclusion efforts.” Criteria for the CPN Seal of Prevention is based on the  Principles of Effective Prevention Programs. More than 1,000 campuses and organizations are evaluated annually to determine eligibility. “Our team at Vector Solutions is proud to recognize the great value these leading institutions and organizations are providing to students and the commitment we share to making higher education communities safer and more inclusive.” A full list of the 2022 recipients of the Campus Prevention Network Seal of Prevention and more information on the award can be found  here.

It is with tremendous sorrow we report the passing of past Executive Council Member Marilynn Schmitt Kinsella, Alpha Xi–University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She entered Omega Chapter on February 28, 2022, at the age of 92. Initiated in the spring of 1947 at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Marilynn later earned a graduate degree from the University of Iowa. She served Tri Sigma as National Music Director from 1953-54, National Vice President from 1954–62 and Toastmistress at the 25th Convention in 1959. She was a charter member of the Chicago North Shore Alumnae Chapter and was active in the Chicago Northwest Suburban Alumnae Chapter at the time of her passing. Marilynn had two children, including Karrie Kinsella Benjamin, Gamma Alpha–University of Illinois, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents and two siblings, including Martha Schmitt Berg, Sigma­­–Western State College. “Marilynn, fondly known as ‘Schmitty,’ was a beloved Sigma who inspired so many sisters through her nearly 75-year commitment to Tri Sigma. Her warmth, smile, and friendly spirit brightened a room. We are saddened by her loss and extend our condolences to her friends and family. Schmitty will be missed, and her legacy will live on within her daughter and fellow Tri Sigma sister, Karrie Benjamin,” said National President Natalie Moore Averette, Gamma Beta–East Carolina University. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to All Saints Lutheran Church’s Good Samaritan Fund, or the Tri Sigma Foundation in her memory. Sympathy cards may be mailed to Tri Sigma National Headquarters at 225 North Muhlenberg Street, Woodstock, VA 22664, to be sent to the family. “Schmitty, who insisted all Sigmas use her nickname from her Alpha Xi days, was happiest and the most fulfilled in her times with family. From my very first memories, Sigma has been an immersive part of our family. We saw firsthand how sisters were there through thick and thin to support us,” said daughter Karrie. “Mom lived that same dedication and devotion, often while wearing purple. I already miss my mom and Tri Sigma sister greatly.”
