Dear sisters ,
In July 2016 , I embarked on one of the most exciting , demanding , and fulfilling journeys of my life when I was installed as national president of Sigma Kappa . During the past five months , I have learned about myself , my sisters , and our organization , and I am so proud of all that we have accomplished in this short period of time . I am pleased to share with you the annual report for 2015-2016 to highlight the accomplishments of Sigma Kappa over the past year and our plans for continued success into the future .
This was a year of historic growth for Sigma Kappa . We welcomed an amazing seven new collegiate chapters and nearly 1,000 women into our sisterhood . To support this growth , a record 17 Sigma Kappas served as leadership consultants to guide our new and current chapters down the path to success . Six new alumnae chapters were also established , making it easier for alumnae to remain connected to our organization and with members in their area .
We continue to invest in the current and future leaders of Sigma Kappa with our regional leadership conferences ( RLCs ), now in their third year . In January 2016 , all 11 executive council positions , as well as the social chairman and advisory board supervisor , received in-depth leadership development education and position-specific training at five regional conferences .
One of the most significant changes to our organization was the unveiling of a new Sigma Kappa brand . This new brand , brought to life through the hard work of Sigma Kappa staff , volunteers and our creative partner , Pivot Design , brings the Sorority , Foundation and National Housing Corporation together under one unified set of visuals and messaging . This is the first time all three entities have shared one brand , and it serves to further our commitment to strengthening the organization as a whole through collaboration .
I am very excited about the growth and development Sigma Kappa has experienced in the past year and continues to experience today . None of this would be possible without our dedicated volunteers , who make Sigma Kappa ’ s success a priority in their lives every day . Thank you for your tireless work and commitment to our organization . This has been an exciting year for Sigma Kappa , and we can only expect more great things to come in the future .
Loyally in Sigma Kappa ,
