We got it from our Mamas!

You may have noticed that 39th and Spruce was unusually elegant last weekend, and that's because SK Moms were in town for the First Annual Sigma Kappa Mom's Weekend. President Sophia and Membership Chair Sarah put together the most incredible weekend with the greatest ladies we know. It started with a chapter wide mother-daughter event at Duel Piano Bar in Center City on Friday, where our moms got down to the oldies. On Saturday, we had pledge class dinners and met up for a "Mom Mixer" afterwards at house off-campus. We finished off the weekend with brunch at the house on Sunday, where we all got great shirts to commemorate the weekend. Overall, it was a phenomenal weekend and a great success, and we can't wait for next year!

SK Summer Stories

Sigma Kappas were busy this summer. Between traveling to great places, working awesome jobs and internships, and generally enjoying every minute of the last few months, Kappa Iotas were everywhere. Here's what some of us have been up to:

A big group of SKs (alums and current students alike) met up in NYC at Brother Jimmy's

Nicole Pollack went to Pai, Thailand and made a new friend with Ellie the elephant.

Sophia Stylianos stayed in Philly this summer enjoying work in two very different fields! During the week she worked in a Bioengineering Lab at HUP, and on the weekends she worked in a vintage motorcycle repair shop, Liberty Vintage.

Katey visited her best friend (and now Chapter house-mate!) Margo in Santa Barbara for her 21st birthday, and the two enjoyed a West coast-whirlwind week of paddle boarding, Farmer's Market trips, sailing, and hiking in the canyons.

Becky Umbach spent the summer interning at the Innocence Project, a nonprofit
which exonerates convicted criminals based on retested DNA evidence. She also
managed to make it down to North Carolina for a giant family reunion, where she
obviously taught her cousin to sorority squat since it's never too early to start recruiting! 

Tara Hofbauer (far left) spent five weeks in London through Penn Summer Abroad, studying British theater and Jane Austen.

Kate Onorato (left), who spent the summer studying for her MCATs and applying to med school,
visited Maggie Edkins (right) at her apartment in New York, which had an incredible view of the
Empire State Building.
