Its our first week back since february break! It was really nice being home and seeing my family and friends, but really glad to be back i missed everyone from school! Today we had a greek peer advocate meeting and it was really interesting. There was a speaker from career development and she taught us how to create a resume and tips on having a successful interview and it was a very beneficial program! Not much else is going on, glad to be back in Oneonta!

Battle of the Red Dragons

Last night was the battle of the red dragons! It was us vs Cortland. Each sorority and fraternity made a banner! We made ours with another sorority and the banner came out really good!! I wish i had a picture of the finished banner, but it was really cute! The game was a lot of fun, it was also senior night and alot of people came out to support our team which was really great! We won, but it was a close game for a while! So great job Oneonta! Also the half time performance was really great, one of our sisters Kristy is on kickline and they did a really good job performing too!!
Feb break starts friday and i am anxiously awaiting it! Cant wait to go home and have a break from all this school work! Until friday i have been basically living in the library studying! But it will all pay off in the end! Okay well, i am off to class!

Here is a new picture of Tri Sigma from this years bid day!!

Spring 2010

Hi everyone! I am the new blogger for Tri Sigma! My name is Jillian, i am a junior and a child and family studies major at SUNY Oneonta!

This semester has been really fun so far! Formal recruitment began the same day classes did the 21st! The semester has been a little busy so far, between formal recruitment and classes beginning but it has definitely been fun so far!

IGC (inter-greek counsel) did a really great job this semester planning some really fun events during this week! Each even allowed everyone to get to know the different chapters in Greek life here and they got to know a little bit more of what Greek life is all about!

It has been really fun meeting new people and getting to know them! I am really excited about the 11 new members of our chapter! I am so excited they all chose tri sigma and i cannot wait to get to know everyone better, this looks like it is going to be a really great semester! Jillian

"People ask why I am in a sorority and I try to explain all the things a sorority is that they cannot see. A sorority is more than letters on a sweatshirt, I say. More than traditional songs, a gold pin, rituals, and obligation, or a way of life. A sorority is learning about people, a sorority is giving without expecting a return. A sorority is earning respect from others, as well as for yourself. A sorority will not solve all your problems. But I have made good friends and found confidence there to help me take life one step at a time."

Finshing Up

Hey allll!!

Its been crazy busy! There is less than a week of classes left! WOW! This semester has definitely flown by. So this past week was so busy, but fun! Rockin for Robbie was a great success! The bands were really great, and the crowd definitely enjoyed them. Tri Sigma was able to raise about $200 for Robbie Page Memorial. We are hoping to make another $500 come Fall.

The rest of Greek week was pretty fun as well, the awards banquet was very nice as well. It is so great to see all of Greek life working together and appreciating what accomplishments we have had this past year. In addition, this past Saturday, Greek life particpated in a 5k Breast Cancer walk. It was amazing weather!

On Sunday, April 26, Tri Sigma celebrated Founder's Day at the Holiday Inn. It was a beautiful luncheon where all of our parents came up. We sing our national song and celebrate each sister.
This Saturday, we wil lbe participating in Into the Streets, relocating to a specific location somehwere within Oneonta to do community service.

Good luck with all finals! Enjoy the last weeeeek!!
TTYS,

Lets go Greeks!

Hello hello hello,

This week is so busy! It's hard to even find time to write a post! Of course, finals week is steadily approaching. This whole week is Greek Week, in which all of recognized Greek Life plays in multiple physical activities and score points and awards.

So far, Greeks have played in pool, dodgeball and kickball events. It has been quite fun and eventful!! Coming up is the Awards Banquet and Taking Back the Night. For Taking Back the Night, we will walk around Oneonta and be informed about sexual violence. It is a great way to get involved and informed about the community surrounding us.

Tomorrow is Tri Sigma's upcoming event, Rockin for Robbie! It consists of mulitple bands playing, and all proceeds go to Robbie Page Memorial Hospital. Should be great!

Keep working hard!
Kayla

Welcome Backkk!

I hope everyone had an amazing break! The weather was kind of terrible, rainy and all, but oh well. I worked everyday, so my break was completely uneventful. But that's okay, because Tri Sigma has plenty of events coming up these next few weeks! We're going strong til the last weekend of school!

This Saturday, we are planning to have a letter writing party. It is often called, "Logs for Lincoln." For every address one brings to this event, a penny is donated to our philanthropy, Robbie Page Memorial. We are really trying our hardest to raise as much money as possible. We are also having a Sigma Retreat this weekend. We all feel it is important to maintain our sisterhood, and continue to get to knwo each other even better. We also like to constantly discuss any problems or conflicts going on. It is so beneficial, because we end up finishing the retreats feeling content and relief. This weather is definitely giving me spring fever, I cannot stand to be inside! I just had my first intramural softball game yesterday. Let's just say, we did not do too well:( I hope you are all taking advantage of the awesome weather!

TTYS,
Kayla
