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.

  • Louisiana Lagniappe

    Tri Sigma With the help of a matching RPM Grant from the Tri Sigma Foundation, the Alpha Mu Chapter brought 'a little something extra' to young patients at Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital In the heart of Louisiana, a place of hope and healing now boasts an enchanting addition that is already bringing smiles and joy to the faces of the youngest patients at Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Lafayette. The recently updated Child Life Playroom is the latest testament to the impact of the Robbie Page Memorial Fund. A partnership between the Our Lady of Lourdes Foundation and the Alpha Mu Chapter at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, plus a matching grant through the Tri Sigma Foundation made the playroom possible. A dedication ceremony for the 300-square-foot space was held in April. The playroom provides a special place for pediatric and PICU patients to participate in therapeutic play, a small oasis of fun and normalcy amidst an often-stressful medical setting. “There is such a healing modality to providing children the opportunity to do things they would be doing at home that they are unable to do while they are in the hospital,” said Laurel Blanchard, Certified Child Life Specialist. “Being able to have this space allows that.” With its vibrant colors and an abundance of toys and games, this space has become a beacon of happiness for the hospital's tiniest patients. It's not just about fun and games; it's a vital component of the healing process. Research shows child life therapy significantly improves the well-being of pediatric patients. According to a study published in Medical News Today, child life interventions reduce anxiety levels in hospitalized children by more than 70 percent. The Alpha Mu Chapter raised funds through their annual chili cook-off, one of the largest annual philanthropic events hosted by a Tri Sigma collegiate chapter. "Our annual chili cook-off has been enjoyed by our community for officially a decade. Our members always enjoy seeing how much our sponsors, teams, and attendees enjoy this event," said Alpha Mu Philanthropy Chair Ashley Graffeo. "Our members take so much pride in knowing our hard work supports causes greater than ourselves." The Tri Sigma Foundation awards grants to local therapeutic play programs nominated by individual members, as well as collegiate and alumnae chapters. Play therapy helps children cope with difficult emotions and experiences. It can also help children feel more comfortable during medical procedures, like getting a shot or having blood drawn. By teaching them relaxation techniques and distracting them with play, they can feel less pain and fear. Since the establishment of the Robbie Page Memorial Fund in 1954, Tri Sigmas have contributed more than $2 million in grants to support our philanthropic initiative Sigma Serves Children. Each year, the Foundation awards local grants to programs nominated by individual Tri Sigmas or alumnae/collegiate chapters. Grants up to $5,000 may be awarded to hospitals and clinics for items such tablets, virtual reality headsets, sensory boxes, books, and interactive play tables.

  • Collegiate Experience | Tri Sigma Sorority

    Tri Sigma redefines sisterhood. It’s about becoming who you want to be and finding the people you want by your side. The Sigma Experience Tri Sigma redefines sisterhood. It’s more than late-night conversations and laughing until it hurts. It’s more than walking a well-paved path to all new experiences. It’s more than an enduring commitment to personal growth and making a positive impact on the world. It’s about becoming who you want to be and finding the people you want by your side. Why Tri Sigma? Joining Tri Sigma means becoming a part of a worldwide sisterhood of women who support, inspire, and motivate each other to reach their full potential. CULTIVATE Build lifelong friendships and join a world-wide network of 140,000+ women. EMPOWER Become the very best version of yourself and inspire those around you to do the same. EXPERIENCE Make lasting memories within a fun, welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment. IMPACT Leave your mark and make the world a better place by serving causes greater than yourself. How to Join Each campus has different timing and processes for joining a sorority, so we recommend contacting the College Panhellenic, Greek Life, or Student Activities office at your college or university. If you are an incoming college student, you’ll probably receive more information during orientation. Register for recruitment or learn more about ongoing membership opportunities through continuous open bidding. With more than 100 collegiate chapters across the United States, Tri Sigma is never too far away.  FIND A CHAPTER START A CHAPTER INTRODUCE SOMEONE INTRODUCE YOURSELF We’re in this Together College life can be overwhelming. Adding a sorority membership to a new schedule can be difficult to manage. Love and support from home can make this transition a positive one. The support of family—whatever that means to each member—can mean the difference between a good and great sorority experience. LEARN MORE Endless Opportunities In addition to a welcoming sisterhood, Tri Sigma provides opportunities for lifelong personal and professional development and a path for members to be successful in academic, professional, and personal settings, including their communities. From the very first new member meeting to our Golden Violet members of 50+ years, we are here to enrich the lives of all our members through better communication, creative and critical thinking, social excellence, collaboration, mentorship, and more.
