Sistehood in the Community
The illustrious ladies of Eta Xi Sigma Alumnae
Chapter, Undergraduate Sorors, Philo and Rhoer
affiliates hosted their 10th Annual Sigma Round-up
Picnic in conjunction with Operation Big Book Bag.
The event was also attended by over 100 guests
including members of other Greek-lettered sorority
and fraternities, prospective members, sorors’ family
members and friends. Guests enjoyed an afternoon
of games, music and an abundance of good home
cooked soul food and desserts. Eta Xi Sigma also
celebrated 16 years of Service, Scholarship, and
Sisterhood in the Chicago area. This was truly an event
not to be missed by sorors who came out to support
the community and civic efforts of the Chapter in
addition to reuniting with each other.
The National Projects and Community Service
Committee presented Operation Big Book Bag in
conjunction with the Sigma Round-up Picnic. Sorors
and affiliates donated more than 100 book bags
filled with school supplies appropriate for grades
kindergarten through high school. The young people
in attendance were delighted to receive their book
bags. The youth were entertained with arts and crafts
and other games that made it a fun time for them.
These young people received positive messages from
sorors regarding staying in school and doing their best
in school. It was a family affair wherein the parents
of the youth expressed their appreciation for the
book bag donations from the Eta Xi Sigma Alumnae
Chapter. What a way to demonstrate our motto of
“Greater Service, Greater Progress.”
