SIGMA KAPPA


One Heart, One Way


Founded in 2016 at American University, Sigma Kappa is more than just a sorority. It is a home built on lifelong friendship, shared laughter, and unconditional support. Our sisterhood is rooted in love, loyalty, and the belief that we are stronger together. Whether we are studying side by side in the library, cheering each other on at events, or planning philanthropy initiatives that give back to causes we care about, we are constantly reminded that sisterhood is what makes Sigma Kappa so special. Each member brings something unique to our chapter, but what unites us is the bond we have created, one that lasts far beyond our years at AU. Together, we strive to live every day with One Heart, One Way.

About us
​
Sigma Kappa is passionate about giving back through our five national philanthropies, which all together spell out SIGMA: the Sigma Kappa Foundation, Inherit the Earth, Gerontology, the Maine Seacoast Mission, and the Alzheimer’s Association. Our largest philanthropic effort supports the Alzheimer’s Association, and in the past two years our chapter has raised over $16,000 by participating annually in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s on the National Mall. We also host our spring philanthropy event, SigKapture the Flag, which raises money for the Sigma Kappa Foundation to fund scholarships, leadership opportunities, and emergency grants for sisters in need. While our chapter primarily focuses on these two causes, we are proud to honor all of Sigma Kappa’s philanthropies by spreading awareness and supporting initiatives that reflect our values of service, compassion, and sisterhood.
A Letter from our President
Serving as President of Sigma Kappa has been one of the most meaningful and rewarding experiences of my college journey. Sigma Kappa is more than just a sorority, it is a community of strong, compassionate, and driven women who inspire one another to grow, lead, and give back. Through our national philanthropies, including the Alzheimer’s Association, the Maine Seacoast Mission, and Inherit the Earth, our chapter strives to make a positive impact both on campus and beyond. Our sisterhood is built on shared values of friendship, loyalty, service, and personal growth. Whether we are organizing fundraising events, volunteering in the community, or simply supporting one another through life’s challenges, Sigma Kappa reminds me every day of the power of women coming together with purpose and heart. As President, I have had the privilege of witnessing our members’ dedication and kindness firsthand, and I am continually inspired by the way our chapter uplifts one another and the communities we serve. Sigma Kappa is not just where I found my closest friends, it is where I found my voice, my confidence, and my passion for making a difference.

A Letter from our Vice President of Philanthropy
I had the best year serving as Philanthropy Chair for SK! I loved getting to plan events, work with our amazing philanthropies, and bring the chapter together for causes that actually make a difference. I am so grateful for the late-night planning, early morning set-ups, and all the memories that made it worth it!
