Eta Kappa Chapter at Texas Woman's University
The Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation
Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation provides transformational philanthropy: funding innovative leadership training for women, awarding scholarships, and investing in life-enhancing children’s therapy programs.
The Sigma Sigma Sigma Foundation was established in 1992, a merger between the Robbie Page Memorial Fund (RPM) and the Sigma Sigma Sigma Educational Foundation of Tri Sigma.
The RPM Fund was founded in 1951 after the death of a son of the Sorority's National President, Mary Hastings Holloway Page. The foundation supported various polio research projects. After a cure was found for Polio, our philanthropy evolved into making specific grants to hospitals for play therapy.
Since 1954, Tri Sigma has funded over $3,000,000 in play therapy/child life programs. Every year Tri-Sigma completes a pledge of $75,000 to major play therapy/child life programs at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, Texas, and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. These major teaching hospitals are trained to make an impact in the field, and in the children's lives personally.
Children's Medical Center of Dallas
Our chapter is lucky enough to be close to the Children's
Medical Center in Dallas so that we can volunteer our time multiple times a
semester, as well as, fundraising throughout the year. Going to visit the hospital
and interacting with children in the play therapy rooms is always a highlight of the
semester. It is something we consider our chapter very lucky to do, because we
get to see first hand what our hard work stands for.
