$105,000 awarded to fund training for the leadership consultants (LCs)
who travel to Sigma Kappa chapters to teach, train, educate and inspire
collegiate members. The LCs made approximately 228 visits, covering
87% of our chapters. Throughout the year, 11 new chapters had a
leadership consultant based with them.

effective leaders.

Sexual Assault
Awareness
The regional leadership conference reminded me why I love being
a part of Sigma Kappa and why I want to be a leader.
RLC Attendee
$10,000 grant for the Sorority to pilot a brand new set of sexual assault
awareness resources including, a peer-led chapter workshop, an e-book
available to all members, and high-level training for leadership consultants
and NHQ staff. After the pilot, the program was rolled out to all chapters
through a train-the-trainer session at the 87th national convention this
summer. Through participation in the peer-led chapter workshop, Sigma
Kappa members develop a better understanding of the reality of risk in
their social environments. Members feel empowered to say or act when
they feel they should and understand why misplacing blame is wrong and
why a chapter culture of basic sensitivity is necessary.
