Something new is coming to MiSSSou...
On behalf of the National Organization of Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority, we are thrilled to be starting a chapter at Mizzou during the fall of 2008 semester and become a part of this exciting Greek community! As we celebrate our 110th anniversary this year, Tri Sigma can still be best defined by three essential words, which are the foundation of our sorority -- friendship, character and conduct. Our members strive daily to promote a perpetual bond of friendship, develop strong womanly character, and inspire high standards of ethical conduct. As an organization, we strive to do the same as we develop award-winning and innovative programming for our members and encourage a lifetime commitment to our sisterhood and values.
We hope that you are asking, "What is a colony? How does starting a new chapter work?" A colony is a newly formed group of a well-established national Greek organization that has been invited to be apart of the campus and Greek community. Since Tri Sigma is new to Mizzou, we will recruit members for the first time immediately following the Panhellenic Association’s Formal Recruitment. A team of National staff and volunteers, alumnae and collegians from our other chapters in Missouri will participate in Open House Socials so we can have the opportunity to meet potential new members. We will then step back from the process until Formal Recruitment is fully completed thus allowing interested women to further explore all of the sororities on campus and make the best decision for them. If at that time they haven’t made a pledge to join one of the current sororities, we encourage interested women and their friends to attend our colonization recruitment events to see if Tri Sigma is the Greek experience for them. We will recruit to the average chapter size through our continuous recruitment process. Those who will be invited to join with us will become colony members having the opportunity to build our chapter at Mizzou. Tri Sigma colony members will participate in Homecoming, philanthropies, Greek Week, academic support programs, sisterhoods, and formals events, just like any other chapter would!
Our members strive for excellence in academics, community service, campus involvement, social environments and leadership positions. Our goal is to recruit freshmen through senior undergraduate women that also value these principles and view themselves as trend setters to build our legacy on campus. The opportunity for immediate leadership experience, shared memories and lifelong friendships are endless for you. We are eager to meet women during this process and share what makes Tri Sigma so exceptional!
