Hello all,
What a beautiful weekend it was!! Sitting out in the sun all day yesterday watching the softball game was so refreshing. Fortunately, I even ended up getting a slight tan! It was great to see the softball team win their game against Geneseo!
In addition, the Accepted Students Open House went very smoothly. So many students from both Greek life and campus volunteered to work it. It was so awesome to meet people that are very interested in coming to school here. Hopefully, they will choose Oneonta, because it is such a diverse and welcoming campus.
The Mu Sigma Upsilon stepshow was crazy! I have never seen a stepshow before, and it was unbelieveable! How they can do that is beyond me!
Well, I hope that everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather! Get through this last week, and have an awesome break! That's all for now...

Lots to Do!
Helllo there,
So since my last post, Tri Sigma has began to fill our schedule for the upcoming week ahead!..
This week, the members of Tri Sigma are going to make a strong effort to attend all of the programs that other Greek Organizations are holding this week. It is important that we support and acknowledge all the other ogranizations, because they work so hard. We are all in this entanglement of Greek life together, and we should support each other. There will be interesting programs, such as, an MSU Stepshow on Saturday, an Interracial Dating program by MSU on Wednesday, and a movie being shown on Thursday.
In addition, this Saturday is Open House from 8-1! Try to come by and stop at our table, we'll be sure to make it worthwhile! Later that day is an Oneonta Baseball game. We are putting on a marvelous halftime show and it would mean so much if everyone would come and support the baseball boys to victory! Come cheer them on with us from the stands!!
This Sunday, we will begin hosting a fundraising event. Every Tri Sigma member will be supplied with an AVON booklet to order makeup, jewelry, accessories. It would be amazing to fundraise a lot of money to not only support our chapter, but promote working together.
Well, have a good week! Breaks almost here!!

Fight Back!
Heyy guys,
So this weekend was pretty fun I must say. On Friday, it was Relay for Life. So many organizations come together to walk from 7PM-7AM to support and donate money to cancer foundations. It was awesome to see how many people came and supported the cause. Altogether, we raised about $62,000 for cancer reasearch and patients! It was participating in community service at its finest! While burning calories, we were all raising money for cancer! Yay! The members of Tri Sigma really enjoyed participating in Relay for Life, because we were able to spend quality time with each other, playing board games, eating a lot of food, walking together. It was an awesome time all around.
On Saturday, IGC hosted a Safe Spring Break Dance Party. Instead of going out on an ordinary Saturday night, they had a dry dance party to promote awareness about alcohol abuse. There was a DJ and lots of great music! One of the most interesting and creative ideas, was giving each participant a wristband. When a participant wanted a drink, they were checked off a spot on the wristband, so you could keep track of your drink intake. Without realizing how many you are actually intaking, drinking ten cups of water or iced tea goes quickly. Therefore, it was an example of how you could easily have ten alcoholic beverages within a matter of an hour, without realizing how much you actually drank.
Well, I hope everyone has a safe and fun St. Patrick's Day!

Keepin' It Reaaaaal
Hellooo,
This past week was quite eventful. Our National Leadership Consultant came for a week visit. Her main goal was to help our chapter find some new ways to recruit girls and become closer as a sisterhood. We held events such as Sigma Jeopardy, a Fashion Show of Proper Badge Attire and a delicious Potluck! This past week has taught my whole chapter, including myself, how important friendship is. There are so many factors that contribute to maintaining a friendship. It takes hard work, honesty, loyalty and compassion. I can honestly say that being part of this everlasting and constantly growing friendships with all my sisters has changed my life. We are always there for each other. In order to sustain friendships and organizations, one must be open-minded and communicate well. Keep that in mind!
In addition, I attended a Chi Upsilon Sigma program discussing injustices women around the world still face. It was a well-developed PowerPoint presentation that brought up a variety of important points. There was a lot of discussion, and it taught me to be proud of being a woman.
Coming up, Tri Sigma will be participating in the Relay For Life, this Friday, March 13th. We will be walking for 12 hours to help raise money for cancer patients. It should be a fun time! Also, IGC is holding a program concerning Spring Break alocohol abuse this Saturday.
That's all for now.

It's March Already?!
Heeeyy there everyone,
I cannot believe it is already March. That means the semester is halfway through! Wow! Coming back from our mid-winter break, there is a lot to accomplish for the sisters of Tri Sigma.
This week, we are hosting a Sigma Jeopardy night for all of our members just to keep up with our facts. Meet the Greeks will also be this week! It is an excellent way to meet more people from campus, and explore all optionsa available to students. So, if you have any interest in getting to know Greek Life, definitely stop by! It is this Saturday from 12-2 in Hunt Ballroom. Inter-Greek Council spends a lot of time setting up Meet the Greeks to make it extra informational and interesting for students. All organizations will have a specific table with detailed information of what their organization stands for. Should be an awesome time!
I know mid-terms are approaching, and the semester is most likely getting very stressful(especially for me), so, from experience, try to keep up with your studies and work load. It will benefit you in the longrun. Try to manage your time wisely, because procrastination is definitely a downfall. Utilize the library as well, there are so many places to sit quietly and focus on work.
Well, good luck!
