One of the main motivators for joining a sorority is friendship. On a large University campus, finding a group of friends can make a tremendous difference in feeling integrated into school life versus feeling like just another student number. Sigma Lambda Gamma provides its sisters with a home away from home with a group of supportive women who will cheer you on and provide encouragement. Sisters develop lifelong friendships that continue in spite of distance and time.

Every sister in Sigma Lambda Gamma will undergo leadership development. It is a natural part of being in a sorority. While a few women will go on to hold highly visible chapter offices, every sister will lead in some area. Committee assignments, recruitment planning and execution, and representing the chapter on campus all provide opportunities to develop public speaking and presentation skills, motivational skills and organizational skills. As well with the guidance of alumnae, chapter members oversee the budget and running of the chapter itself, which are both significant responsibilities, that can be carried on into the future.

Each sorority has a philanthropy to which all chapters contribute in meaningful ways. Beyond this, Greeks tend to be very service oriented and also participate in other community activities that benefit others. There are multiple opportunities presented each year by both the individual chapters as well as the Greek system as a whole.

.,Sorority membership in Sigma Lambda Gamma definitely provides networking opportunities both during University and beyond. Many leadership positions on campus are held by Greeks and so being Greek opens the door to meeting other leaders and finding avenues for networking. As sisters of Sigma Lambda Gamma, we assist each other with job searches, relocation needs, etc. even after graduation through our Alumna page and our Alumna Board.

International dinner, Moulin Rouge, White Out, Movie Nights, Formals, Greek Week, mixers, Homecoming, fraternity parties… Sigma Lambda Gamma sisters love their social events and joining certainly expands a woman’s social opportunities. We are very creative in offering a variety of social event themes and outlets for fun. Some of these social events involve fraternities, friends from home and school and some are only for sisters. Either way, a member has the opportunity to keep her social calendar as full as she desires!
