  • Kudos to Bonnie, who was invited to become a Longwood Ambassador.

    Fire at Longwood College
    On April 24, Longwood's trademark Rotunda, along with the East and West Ruffner and most of Grainger, was destroyed in the third major fire in the college's history. In addition to being of sentimental value to Longwood,  Ruffner, formerly known as Professional Hall, was the location of Sigma Sigma Sigma's founding. For more on the fire and the aftermath, go to Longwood College for more information.

    Welcome to the Eta Mu Chapter!

    Virginia's State Day
    A Founders Day/State Day celebration was held on Longwood's campus the weekend of April 22. Organized by Carrie Fowler (Alpha), sisters from Epsilon Sigma and Zeta Pi joined Alpha in celebrating the 104th birthday of our sorority. Penny Robertson, National Alumnae Vice-President, was the keynote speaker. In addition to a luncheon and ceremony, tours of Longwood College's Sigma landmarks were offered and many guests enjoyed shopping at Red Fronts, our Farmville greek trader.

    Online Archives Update!
    Digital images of scrapbooks, telegrams, photographs, and memorabelia, some dating from early 1910's, are now available for viewing online. The initial project was undertaken in Spring 2000 by Rebbecca and Alicia Bennett (Alpha) for Archival Management class. In addition to restoring, organizing, and cleaning the scrapbooks, the two educated the chapter on caring for our memorabelia and enlisted help in creating a digital archive.This project will  eventually showcase images of our chapter from founding to the present. See our archives and pictures page for more information.

    As always, check out Tri-Sigma at Longwood for more on our chapter!
