Sigma Kappa

Welcome to the Sigma Kappa crowdfunding page!

We are the active sisters of Duquesne University’s Chapter of Sigma Kappa. The sisters of Sigma Kappa choose to make living with heart an everyday commitment. Sigma Kappa encourages an atmosphere which upholds high ideals of friendship amongst college women, promotes education and creates a true sense of social responsibility all the while developing high qualities of character within every member.

As many people may know, Sigma Kappa is more than just a collegiate experience; it is a lifetime of commitment, support, and opportunity. It marks the beginning of a relationship that will last for a lifetime.

Throughout the 144 years as a chapter, Sigma Kappa has successful impacted the lives of women not only throughout their collegiate years but beyond. By donating below, you are helping to provide and enhance the experience for active members in Sigma Kappa. Any donation is greatly appreciated, for it will be going towards a lifetime of living with heart.

What will your donation contribute towards?

Duquesne University has established Greek Life Student Support Funds for each sorority and fraternity on campus. These gift accounts allow us to accept donations, which we can use to help cover the costs of Sigma Kappa’s most direct needs. Some examples of how these funds may be used include:

  • Pay for transportation, meals, etc. for the executive council members to attend the Sigma Kappa National Convention
  • Pay the annual dues for sisters who are in need of financial aid to allow them to remain an active member of our chapter
  • Update and provide extra amenities to the Sigma Kappa wing here on campus
  • Aid in additional chapter needs as well as scholarship and programming

* Use of all donations must be approved by Rebecca Mickler, Director of Greek Life, and Sarah Sperry, Assistant Vice President, Alumni Engagement.

Keeping up to date with Sigma Kappa at Duquesne University

Sigma Kappa continues to be well-rounded, respected and involved both on campus and in the community. The sorority works hand-in-hand with many of our philanthropies and organizations including The Alzheimer’s Association, local nursing homes, and local environmental projects. As a national organization, we support 5 philanthropies:

  • Sigma Kappa Foundation
  • Inherit the Earth
  • Gerontology
  • Maine Seacoast Mission
  • Alzheimer’s Association

In addition to our own philanthropic efforts, chapter members are active in the campus community, attend other organization’s events, both Greek and Non-Greek. Additionally, 80% of our chapter members are involved in an activity outside of Greek Life, spreading our involvement across campus.

Sigma Kappa, Kappa Mu also takes pride in maintaining a strong sisterhood. The chapter has recently included programming events such as Pirate games, trips to pumpkin patches, trampoline parts, and many other activities to engage members and promote sisterhood. A donation could help the chapter continue in growing the bond they all hold so dear!

Donate, reach out, and continue to provide sisters with this lifelong experience!

It would be greatly appreciated to see our Sigma Kappa alumnae, family and friends from all over donate to our campaign. Even a donation of $10 will significantly impact our chapter and active sisters!
