The 2016 Convention in Schaumburg, IL saw the installation of Natalie Averette, Gamma Beta, as our 14th National President, and the beginning of a new philanthropic partnership between the Tri Sigma Foundation and the March of Dimes.
In addition, the committee also undertook the restoration and preservation of jewelry and other artifacts, including our beloved Doll Collection. Under the direction of a national archivist, a committee of volunteers began preparing a vast amount of documents for digitization, which will soon allow members unprecedented access to Tri Sigma’s history. Efforts to stand up a fully functioning archives began in earnest as well. Tri Sigmas came from all over the country in May 2015 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our Heart Home and see all the changes made to the two buildings. After 50 years as our official headquarters, the Mabel Lee Walton House Memorial Headquarters began the transition to a memorial museum for displaying Sigma’s history, with the opening of a new headquarters building next door to Walton House. The Labryrinth Leadership program was created, and service opportunities in West Virginia and Jamaica offered members the chance to fully immerse themselves in aiding local communities. Tri Sigma’s Executive Council adopted a governance model to better meet the needs of this dynamic sisterhood. Kaye Schendel was installed as Tri Sigma’s 13th National President at the 2010 Convention in Minneapolis, MN. We are a Sisterhood.Ģ010 brought many opportunities for Tri Sigma to look forward and continue a path of innovation. We find friends within the bonds of Tri Sigma. Together, they established a sisterhood called Sigma Sigma Sigma.
They reached out to others who joined them on the journey. Is it any wonder then, that eight young women, away from home and family, found each other and began their journey in friendship? They stepped out on a path from Farmville, Virginia in 1898, sharing a special bond as friends who regarded each other as sisters.
There may be one or two, there may be a hundred. Among them will be found some with whom we feel a special bond…a rapport to be welcomed and nurtured. There will be many acquaintances as we travel along our path. Founders: Margaret Lee Batten, Louise Marie Davis, Martha Trent Featherston, Isabella Merrick, Sallie Jackson Michie, Lelia Scott, Elizabeth Watkins and Lucy Wright.įrom our earliest days, we seek out others to accompany us on our journey.
