a Sigma Kappa quarterly newsletter
[FROM THE ARCHIVES]
"We tread our paths so easily, Now worn quite smooth by other feet, We scarce will deign to look
upon The rougher paths, which may ours meet. So we forget that our smooth way Was once as
rough and hard as these; That many traveled painfully, That we might travel on in lease."
- Grace Foster, Alpha, Colby College
From the Autumn 1921 Sigma Kappa Triangle, celebrating 50 years of women's admission to Colby
College

STAY
CONNECTED
It's fall, so you know what that means: it's Walk to End
Alzheimer's season! Sigma Kappa members raise more than
$1 million annually for the Alzheimer's Association through
the Walk to End Alzheimer's. The Walk provides a great
opportunity for alumnae and collegians to join together and
raise money to help find a cure for this debilitating disease.
Recruit your family, friends, and collegiate/alumnae chapters
to walk alongside you and to support your fundraising
efforts. Sigma Kappa's National Team Page
CONNECT WITH US
Sigma Kappa's alumnae Connect events are back by popular
demand. At Connect events, alumnae can come together for
