On Sunday, Sept. 21, the Zeta Tau chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma were surprised at the arrival of the national president, Mary K. Barbee. The Zeta Tau chapter was presented with outstanding recognition awards in the following areas: New Member Orientation Program and Recruitment.

“For such a young chapter, Zeta Tau should not be receiving these awards,” Barbee said. “They have really grown and improved since 1995. We have seen amazing things happen in this chapter.”

The chapter’s New Member Orientation Program, which was lead by former vice-president Rachel Siron, lasts eight weeks and it a time for the new members of Tri Sigma to learn about the sorority and its history while getting to know their sorority sisters.
“It is an amazing accomplishment for Zeta Tau to receive this award,” Siron said. “As for the New Member Orientation Program, we have always strived to educate, inform, teach and initiate the new members and future leaders of Tri Sigma.

“Zeta Tau has always been outstanding in our initiation and retention. I believe it is because of the way we look after our new members and show them what Sigma is all about.”

Not only did Tri Sigma receive an award for New Member Orientation, but hey also received honors for Outstanding Recruitment. Formal Recruitment, led by former Membership Recruitment Director Molly Basinger, has always been a strong point in Zeta Tau’s history, as they have traditionally made quota and maintained campus totals.

Sigma maintains its recruitment success, as it is one of the largest sororities on campus.

“Recruitment is always a highlight in our year,” Basinger said. “It is always exciting to be able to recruit and speak to girls about our sorority and what it has done for us.”

The awards wer presented on behalf of the National Headquarters of Sigma Sigma Sigma.

Zeta Tau sent in award nomination forms and chapter reports to receive eligibility for the awards.

Tri Sigma was founded on April 1, 1995 when the local sorority Sigma Delta Xi became a national chapter. It was the first national sorority at MWSU.
