9.27.11 - A Message from our Sweetheart

I am honored to be the sweetheart of the Kappa Rho chapter of Sigma Chi. The brothers are motivated men of character as well as true gentlemen. They are ambitious in their academic lives and careers, but they also know how to have a good time!

One of the characteristics that I most admire about the brothers of this chapter is that all the men have diverse interests, but they share the same values. These values are what makes their bond of brotherhood so strong and unique. I am so happy to be able to represent these men as well as call them some of my best friends!

9.4.11 - The First Ever Annual Brotherhood Camping Retreat

As always, this fall marked a new beginning for Kappa Rho. The members of the Class of 2011 are all off to bigger and better things in their professional lives, and the Class of 2012 has assumed the leadership role in the Chapter. In order to mark this new beginning, we took the chapter to Cedarville, Maryland for a weekend camping expidition. For the first time in a number of years, the entire Chapter packed their bags, said goodbye to the District and headed out for an entire weekend of Friendship, Justice and Learning.

During this time we participated in team-building activities in order to bring our Chapter closer, and orient ourselves in such a way that we would be ready to tackle any challenges that came our way. Having just been back at school for a week before the retreat, the weekend provided a good way for all the brothers to reconnect and find their place in the Chapter. We also conducted a thorough Chapter planning session, in which we outlined our mission statement, vision, and goals for the year. We came away with a detailed plan for the year to bolster alumni relations, scholarship, and our fundraising for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The weekend was a huge success, leaving all the brothers in the right mindset to tackle the year. See below for some of the highlights from the trip!

I might just be the luckiest girl on campus. As Sweetheart of the Kappa Rho chapter of Sigma Chi, I have the opportunity to represent a group of men who value strength of character, community service, and campus involvement to the highest degree.
