Sigma Kappa strives daily to make a positive impact on and off campus throughout the San Angelo community. We feel as if whom our lives may touch in slight measure, and may we graciously give of what is ours. For most of us students, the Greek social life helps to make attending Angelo State University a more fulfilling experience. Sigma Kappa’s community service is an important aspect of our sorority life. It is safe to say that no other segment of the student population has dedicated more time and resources, or has raised more money for charity than the members of our Greek community. From volunteering in regional nursing homes and food banks, to giving blood, to raising money for charities such as Children’s Advocacy Center. Sigma Kappa is always lending a helping hand. We have gained a significance of happiness while helping the less fortunate to help with something constructive. We have also gained a solid foundation in leadership training that prepares us for the demands and responsibilities needed for the future.
Serving others is not just a form of do-goodism or feel-goodism, it is a road to social responsibility and citizenship. Being involved in previous Philanthropy events over the years has demonstrated true dedication and tremendous generosity towards fostering Sigma Kappa’s experience that enriches Angelo State students’ lives. We believe that the value of community service and volunteerism knows that we are making a difference in the community and to the people.
