On April 20, 1898, a sisterhood emerged from the dreams and determination of eight visionary young women in Farmville, Virginia. This group of pioneering women set out to create a steadfast bond that has withstood the test of time. 2024 Foundation Annual Report The Tri Sigma Foundation provides enduring resources to support the leadership development, scholarship, and philanthropic initiatives of Sigma Sigma Sigma. Our shared vision empowers Tri Sigma women to change the world. In 2023-2024, The Tri Sigma Foundation provided crucial support to Tri Sigma sorority and our members. With your partnership, we’re investing in Tri Sigma women to reach their highest potential and serve their communities through scholarships, leadership programs, and Sigma Serves Children initiatives. LEARN Providing Opportunities for Members Through Academic Scholarships Scholarships offer our members relief from the rising cost of education and make it possible for members to access crucial learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom. The Foundation awarded 38 Tri Sigma women $54,600 in academic scholarships in 2023-24 to pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees. Meet Serena Alaniz Alpha Mu "I’m extremely blessed and grateful to receive this scholarship for my senior year. Paying for college over the years has been challenging. I have had to take out loans because my parents are unable to cover the costs due to my mom’s health issues, which prevent her from working. Receiving this scholarship is going to make a significant impact on my ability to afford school, and I cannot thank the donors enough." Meet Sarah Catizone Epsilon Upsilon "Thank you for your kindness, trust, and investment in me and my education. I have and will continue to attempt to be as empowering as all the women in this organization, and to show love and compassion to others in the ways that this organization has shown to me. I am excited for the opportunities that lie ahead, and I will strive to be an ambassador of the values of Tri Sigma in all my future endeavors." Meet Tran Le Epsilon Sigma "As a first-generation Asian American student, your support has not only lessened the financial burden of my education but also empowered me to pursue my dreams with greater confidence and determination. My goal is to enter the nursing field, specializing in labor and delivery or neonatal intensive care. This scholarship has provided me with the financial stability to focus on my studies and leadership roles."

Our legacy of service has grown to include grants for child life programs and financial support for March of Dimes. Support for Sigma Serves Children initiatives is driven by chapter fundraisers and individual donations. $41,898 in Robbie Page Memorial Grants to 9 organizations in 2023-2024 Child Life Program at Endeavor Health Evanston Hospital uses play intervention to support young patients. Under the guidance of Certified Child Life Specialist Katelyn R. Beyer, the Child Life Program at Endeavor Health (formerly NorthShore HeathSystem) has creates a nurturing environment for over 2,000 young patients annually, assisting them in navigating the complex landscape of medical conditions, trauma, and grief through the therapeutic power of play. Robbie Page Memorial Grant funding was used to purchase an array of medical play interventions for children of various ages and developmental stages. Play IV pumps, surgery equipment replicas, and other interactive resources empower children to familiarize themselves with medical equipment and procedures in a safe and controlled environment. This hands-on experience demystifies medical processes and instills a sense of confidence and control, significantly reducing fear and anxiety associated with hospital visits. Children who engage with medical platy interventions exhibit enhanced coping skills, resilience, and a more positive outlook despite their medical circumstances. See List of 2023-2024 Robbie Page Memorial Grants $35,000 donated to March of Dimes in 2023-2024 March of Dimes leads the fight for the health of all moms and babies with goals to end the preventable maternal health risks and deaths, end preventable preterm birth and infant death, and close the health equity gap.

Our Story On April 20, 1898, a sisterhood emerged from the dreams and determination of eight visionary young women in Farmville, Virginia. This group of pioneering women set out to create a steadfast bond that has withstood the test of time. National Archives Tri Sigma’s National Archives exists to safeguard and preserve the records of the sorority, ensuring that our history and heritage is maintained. Materials are identified, acquired, stored, preserved, and made available to members as is safe and practical for the integrity of the materials. LEARN MORE Our Insignia COAT OF ARMS Sketched by Harriet Hankins, Alpha, around 1902, the significance of the Coat of Arms is revealed to members following their initiation. SYMBOL Adopted as the official symbol at the 1974 Convention, the sails always appear full to represent an empowered sisterhood that is always moving forward. FLOWER The official flower is the purple violet, as they were in bloom in Farmville at the time of our founding and were gathered the morning of the first initiation ceremony. JEWEL Although not official until 1909, the pearl has been our designated jewel since our founding and first appeared formally on the member badge in 1903. EMBLEM The skull & crossbones appear on our member badge. It symbolizes our closed motto which is known only to initiated members. BADGE Adopted in 1903, the badge design is reflective of the Triangle Degree—Tri Sigma’s second degree of membership—and is worn only by initiated members. Margaret Lee Batten Born September 11, 1882, in Smithfield, Virginia, Margaret’s never-ending smile made her the sunshine of the Sigmas. Though quite regal, she was known for her dancing skills, extensive wardrobe, and impressive strength. As a young widow and mother, she went on to pursue a career in hotel industry. Her genuine love of people made her an overwhelming success. She entered Omega Chapter in 1960 while residing in Washington, D.C. Louise Marie Davis Born in August of 1880 in Cumberland County, Virginia, Louise received her early education at home under the direction of a governess. That home would later become a popular place for Sigma visitors. As a student, she enjoyed the athletic program, tennis, long walks, and practicing perfect posture by marching around the gymnasium with a hymnbook on her head. Though a bout with the German measles delayed her graduation by a year and a half, she still had many fond memories of her college days. She later married and had had three children before entering Omega Chapter in 1963 while residing in in Warhill, Virginia. Martha Trent Featherston Born November 18, 1878, in Roanoke, Virginia, Martha was born in the Surrender House at the infamous Appomattox Courthouse. Better known as “Pat,” she was demure, dignified, and much loved by her peers. Despite her serious demeaner, she had quick wit about her. She taught a variety of ages and subjects during her long 41-year teaching career. Martha entered Omega Chapter in 1972 while residing in Prince Edward, Virginia. Isabella Noyce Merrick A direct descendant of the heir apparent of King Edward III of England, Isabella was born May 18, 1879, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Described as lovable and a good student, Isabella was perhaps our most mischievous Founder. She admittedly snuck a few visits with boys during the week—despite school rules—and enjoyed the occasional claret ice, a type of wine cooler for the time. She trained and showed horses—and even rode to school on horseback! Being able to earn her own living was a priority for Isabella. She taught at a nearby school before getting married, moving to North Carolina, and raising her son. Though the exact date is unknown, Isabella entered Omega Chapter sometime after December 21, 1969. Sallie Jackson Michie Sallie was born at her family’s home—known as Monticello’s Bel Aire—on February 6, 1883, in Earlysville, Virginia. A bright and diligent student, Isabella graduated college with top honors at 16 and was the youngest girl to ever graduate from the Normal School! Though sometimes quiet, her fun-loving nature was a welcomed surprise to everyone she met. She taught in Virginia and Georgia for 10 years, before marrying and moving to New York City. During World War I, she worked for the Army Air Corps in Washington, D.C., and continued until her retirement in 1943. She entered Omega Chapter on January 2, 1974. Lelia Agnes Scott Lelia was born April 12, 1880, in Amelia, Virginia. Studious and seemingly older than her years, Lelia was a gifted student and excelled in mathematics. Her room became the gathering place as the Founders first planned their secret society before taking place in the privacy of the left wing of Professional Hall. She graduated from the Normal School in 1898 alongside Martha, Lucy, and Sallie, and was referred to as “the greatest of our class” in the yearbook by the class prophet. On June 19, 1913, Lelia became the first Sigma to enter Omega Chapter. Elizabeth Egerton Watkins Born July 6, 1881, in Old Point Comfort, Virginia, Elizabeth was described as small and dainty. She served as the associate editor of the 1899 issue of the Normal Light yearbook and was roommates with Margaret and Lucy. She loved teaching and taught public school in Hampton prior to her marriage and becoming a mother to three daughters. Elizabeth was the only Founder to marry a Hampden-Sydney graduate. Her husband Harry Houston, Pi Kappa Alpha, served as Speaker of the House in the Virginia Legislature. She entered Omega Chapter on August 13, 1964, while residing in Hampton, Virginia. Lucy Elizabeth Wright Lucy was born Jan. 27, 1880, at Clover Dale Farm in James City County, Virginia. A natural scholar, Lucy started college on her 16th birthday in 1896, and graduated three years later. She was the first chief officer of the chapter and excelled in many activities, including tennis and cycling. She was a skilled seamstress, and—rumor has it—one of the dresses she designed was so popular she borrowed a sewing machine and made and sold several duplicates for 25-cents each. Upon graduation, she accepted a principalship at Hickory Neck Academy and remained there until she married. The birth of her son Robert W. James made her the first Sigma mother. She entered Omega Chapter January 28, 1960, in Richmond. Our Founders In 1898, Margaret Lee Batten, Louise Marie Davis, Martha Trent Featherston, Isabella Merrick, Sallie Jackson Michie, Lelia Scott, Elizabeth Watkins, and Lucy Wright embarked on a mission to forge a sisterhood grounded in the unbreakable bond of friendship.

VIEW NHQ FAQ Our Beginnings Inspired by their Greek-letter friends at nearby Hampden-Sydney College, our eight Founders first cemented their ties of friendship by forming the S.S.S. Club while at the State Female Normal School (now Longwood University). A year later, surrounded by candlelight and purple violets picked from the nearby woods, Sigma Sigma Sigma held its first initiation on April 20, 1898. By the next decade, Tri Sigma had grown to eight collegiate chapters in five states, and 18 alumnae chapters. More than 125 years and 140,000 initiated members later, Tri Sigma still empowers women to change the world through the guiding values of wisdom, power, faith, hope, and love.

We fulfill our promise of developing strong character through a membership experience with lifelong empowerment and relevance. Tri Sigmas are called to influence their communities through meaningful reflection and action. Inclusive Excellence We fulfill our promise of developing strong character through a membership experience with lifelong empowerment and relevance. Tri Sigmas are called to influence their communities through meaningful reflection and action. Tri Sigma was founded and cultivated by welcoming women into our sisterhood. Historically, there is evidence that our membership was not always an equitable space. While we cannot change our past, we can influence the future. Tri Sigma uses the phrase inclusive excellence to describe our collective effort in engaging in learning and action that makes our organization a place where members and new members experience true belonging and can express their identity, beliefs, and values freely in a safe and supportive environment. The sorority embodies a broad definition of diversity that encompasses, acknowledges and affirms multiple forms of difference that include, but are not limited to, cognitive learning and physical differences, age, ethnicity, gender expression, gender identity, race, religious beliefs, and sexual orientation. Projects & Initiatives In 2018, Tri Sigma established the Initiative for Inclusive Excellence to address matters of equity and inclusion. Work began, and consultants from WilMor Works, LLC presented the report of the IIE committee during the 2019 Convention. Afterward, we shared the recommendations with the entire membership. These recommendations were given thoughtful consideration and placed on the list of high-priority initiatives. As the organization pinpoints new opportunities, we will add them to our work. This list is not finite. We know there is more we can do to ensure members of all backgrounds, religions and creeds are welcomed and embraced within Tri Sigma. Our world is evolving. Our members are evolving. Tri Sigma is committed to this evolution. Inclusive Excellence The Inclusive Excellence Team, comprised of an Executive Council liaison, collegiate and alumnae volunteers, and staff, identifies and supports opportunities for greater diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging across Tri Sigma. The team aims to model and promote a Tri Sigma sisterhood unwaveringly committed to learning (and unlearning), cultural humility and respect through open dialogue, intentional inquiry, and authentic reflection. We are dedicated to empowering the Tri Sigma community with tools to identify and investigate topics related to intersectionality, equity, and inclusion. We believe this occurs through increased civil discourse and a critical approach to self-examination. Commitment to Allyship & Education All collegiate and alumnae members are enrolled in a 3-part educational series to increase dialogue and create opportunities to engage with others in ways that foster meaningful connection, mutual understanding, and inclusive excellence. Completion is also required for staff, chapter advisors, and national volunteers. In addition to this educational series, Tri Sigma incorporated education on building inclusive communities into the new member orientation program. Listening & Learning The mission of the IET is to continue critical work influencing an organizational commitment to amplifying diverse voices, cultivating equitable environments, and imploring examination of one’s story and appreciation of others’. The national organization hosted a series of listening sessions to hear directly from members of marginalized identities. Tri Sigma also collected demographic information of all members to help inform programs and offerings. Policy Updates Realizing the importance of equitable consideration for all women seeking sorority membership, Tri Sigma eliminated the policy which required chapters to invite a legacy to the first invitational round during Primary Recruitment and place legacies at the top of their final bid list. This change has empowered our collegiate members to make their own membership selection decisions and allows for more equitable access to those seeking membership. Tri Sigma has also reviewed governing documents for problematic and gender-specific language. The Governing Documents Review Team comprised of collegiate and alumnae members continues to review these documents and provide suggestions for updates. Chapter Leadership & Member Experience The Director of Member Development is the collegiate officer tasked with leading the chapter’s Inclusive Excellence Team. Each chapter’s IET has the unique opportunity to set educational standards for moving forward. We remain committed to fostering inclusive and equitable environments where members can feel welcome, confident, and empowered to ignite change. In partnership with the IET, more inclusive ritual practices and ceremonies have been recommended. The IET also helped inform the collegiate event planning best practices and considerations document to ensure events are accessible for all members and attendees. Potential New Member Introduction Form In lieu of a traditional “recommendation,” a PNM can request an introduction form be completed by a mentor, supervisor, friend, co-worker, teacher, or a Tri Sigma alumna. The purpose of the form is to recommend a PNM to a collegiate chapter prior to recruitment—but it does not provide any preferential treatment. A PNM may also “self-introduce ” to show interest or if they do not feel comfortable asking someone to write an introduction on their behalf. Staff Training & Resources In addition to completing the 3-part Inclusive Excellence series, Tri Sigma implemented a more in-depth quarterly staff training in collaboration with the IET. Tri Sigma staff also compiled a master calendar of cultural celebrations and appropriate messaging for social media observances. We ask for your dedication and support as we advance these recommendations and implement additional initiatives. Please submit your ideas, questions, or comments via this form . Resources Members have access to a variety of resources to help them learn more about the experiences of various identities, how to take action, and engage in meaningful conversations in Sigma Connect under Be Informed.

The support of family—whatever that means to each member—is encouraged and welcomed. When it comes to the Tri Sigma in your life, we’re in this together! Family Support & Involvement The support of family—whatever that means to each member—is encouraged and welcomed. When it comes to the Tri Sigma in your life, we’re in this together! Starting college is a transformative experience for students, marked by new friendships, academic changes, and personal growth. For many young women, joining a sorority adds an extra layer of excitement and community to their college journey. Whether you’re new to fraternity/sorority life or you’ve been waiting for years to share this moment, it’s natural to have questions and concerns. We’ve compiled some information to help you get to know Tri Sigma, our culture of caring , and the lifetime sisterhood that awaits. Meet Tri Sigma Tri Sigma is more than just a social organization—it’s a supportive sisterhood that fosters personal development, leadership skills, and lifelong friendships. In 1898, Tri Sigma was founded on the guiding values of wisdom, power, faith, hope, and love. Today, those same values honor our commitment to fostering a member-first culture that equips, enables, and empowers women to be their very best selves. Learn more about what we stand for . Be Involved Friends and family are often concerned about how to be supportive while still respecting the newfound freedom that college provides. Here are some ways you can support your favorite Tri Sigma: Encourage open communication with your daughter about her decision to join Tri Sigma. Ask her about her experiences, the values she appreciates in the sorority, and how it contributes to her personal growth. Keep the lines of communication open to ensure that she feels comfortable sharing her sorority experiences with you. Sororities often engage in various activities, from philanthropy events to social gatherings. Encourage your daughter to strike a healthy balance between sorority commitments, academics, and personal time. This balance is crucial for her overall well-being and success in college. Attend family weekend, Founders Day or chapter philanthropic events. Consider shopping at purpleandpearls.com , Tri Sigma’s official boutique, for her next gift. Be mindful of conflict. Business can mix with pleasure. Create an open dialog with your daughter about the relationships she has and help her learn how to resolve conflict effectively. Tri Sigma uses Douglas Stone’s strategy outlined In Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most. Philanthropic Pursuits Our philanthropic focus, Sigma Serves Children , is one of the many ways our members experience the importance of serving causes greater than ourselves. Through our partnerships with the March of Dimes and Tri Sigma Foundation, our members advocate, raise awareness, host local fundraising events, and make an impact on their local communities. Supporting local fundraising and community service events can strengthen your bond and demonstrate the positive impact of sorority life. You can also make a gift to the Foundation in honor of your daughter’s initiation/birthday/election to a leadership position. The Ideal Member Experience There’s a common trope when it comes to fraternity/sorority life—you get out of it what you put into it. While some dive in head first with goals of becoming a chapter leader, intramural champion, or scholarship recipient, others prefer to participate in a more casual manner. Whatever their preference, collegiate members of Tri Sigma should: Be excited about attending events with chapter sisters Focus on academics Communicate positive messages instead of those indicating fear or intimidation Be held accountable for actions and appropriate behavior Learn new things about herself through her Tri Sigma experiences Develop leadership and personal development skills Serve the local and campus community Feel supported by chapter members Questions or Concerns Having a child go off to college can be a confusing time when it comes to balancing showing support and knowing when to intervene. Here are some times to speak up or ask more questions about: Lack of study time (a normal Tri Sigma week includes 5-7 hours of meetings/activities) Not feeling included or supported by the chapter Required programming past 10 p.m. on a weeknight Significant or sudden academic decline Strange or secretive behavior* Excessive drinking Running errands for members Being required to carry specific items at all times Required individual chores or activities performed outside the entire membership Excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, or mental exhaustion Tri Sigma has adopted a zero-tolerance policy against hazing and is a sponsor of the Anti-Hazing Hotline, an anonymous, toll-free hotline anyone can use to report hazing. Any woman found accountable for hazing will no longer have the privilege of membership. We encourage all sisters, new members, and parents to call (888) 668-4293 if you have any concerns about hazing within a chapter. You may also submit via an  online form . If you have any concerns about policy violations, contact National Headquarters here .
