Alpha Iota today is known for many significant things, and Alpha Iota continues to have a significant presence at national leadership programs, extension presentations, and on campus. Alpha Iota, in recent months, has supported two extension presentations with speakers and students who have driven to show support for Tri Sigma’s growth.

“Allison, we have a student who appears to be a victim of hazing. It doesn’t look like he’s going to make it.”

National Hazing Prevention Week starts today, and with it, the Executive Council and staff of Tri Sigma invite you to take a good look inside your heart. We invite you to do some soul-searching. Many activities that seem harmless, over time, become the problem too big to deal with. It takes courage to step up. As women of friendship, character, and conduct, we know you can do it. You are supported and we care about you. If it feels wrong, it’s probably something you need help addressing. We asked a member of Executive Council, Allison Swick-Duttine, to tell her personal story.

There are many different ways Tri Sigma commits to being relevant and current, and some of our most transformational choices are related to connecting the past with present opportunities. Beloit College released the 2011 College Mindset List, which sheds some light on the students who will graduate in 2015. We invite you to take a peek into the mindset of our newest members!

Our national magazine, The Triangle, has enjoyed your support for the past 111 years! In September 2010, we launched a readership survey where many of you responded to more than 25 questions requesting your opinions and insights on the magazine. We heard so many wonderful insights on how you view the magazine, what you need to know about the magazine, and how you prefer to read it. Now we’ve made it even easier to enjoy the Triangle, Alumnae Updates, and Sigma Standard newsletters.

The Eta Eta Chapter at Lynn University was chartered on April 25th, 1998 in Boca Raton, Florida. Following two presentations by Tri Sigma and one additional NPC organization, Sigma Gamma selected Tri Sigma for national affiliation. On the weekend of installation, the chapter met the installation team with banners of welcome, balloons and a limousine!

Today’s chapter doll is for the Delta Theta Chapter at the University of North Carolina – Pembroke. Delta Theta was chartered on April 5, 1974 after the local organization, Tau Delta Rho explored affiliation with a National Panhellenic Conference organization. Known for their academic and social service contributions to the campus, the collection of women sought out, and were accepted for membership by Tri Sigma. Since then, the chapter has enjoyed continued success, and the community at UNCP has embraced our women.
