Some sounds I've come to associate with home: the sound of the ocean rolling into the coast, the sounds of loud tourists shouting at each other, the ungraceful flapping and squawks of seagulls trying to steal your french fries and the creak of the tiny bamboo forest in the arboretum by my house. Embrace new cultures and see just how different lives can be when you live in vastly different countries. Live and let live is my motto and it pertains to any and everyone you come into contact with. Some cultures may seem flawed, but that’s a personal interpretation. As a world, we need to be accepting of these cultures as long as they follow the laws of their home country. Sure, they tell you that the culture of your new home will be different, but you often forget that when you travel, you enter into an entirely new culture. That’s the thing no one really warns you about when you study abroad. The smell reeks in the air and around every corner there are little coffee shops or convenient stores where you can buy paraphernalia. The other aspect of Amsterdam culture is weed. You can only hope that their industry treats them and pays them well. There is no need to shield your eyes as you walk down the streets or feel embarrassed. Amsterdam has its own culture and this is just another part of it. With our sister's by our side and our hearts filled with love, a Tri Sigma woman is unstoppable.Īs the day went on and we passed more and more shops boasting the prettiest women in Amsterdam, I did not feel as appalled as I originally did. No heartbreak, tragedy, or hardship will tip a Sigma Sigma Sigma's boat. Word has it the house is beautiful at Christmas time. You've wanted to visit the Mabel Lee Walton house.
Naturally, we're ready to expand and adventure. Tri Sigma was the first sorority to venture out to Alaska and start a chapter and even the first sorority to cross international boarders and start another chapter. Who knew a five year old could inspire so many? Fly high, Robbie. But you just call the sorority "Sigma."Īnd "Sigma" means home. We are not the "Sig Sig Sig sorority." 15. When someone says "Tri Sig" you automatically add "ma." Royal purple? Obviously.and violet and plum and orchid and periwinkle and lavender and eggplant and heather and iris.yup. Not only do you own a ton of purple, you own many different shades of purple. God also gave us wisdom and power which completes Tri Sigma's five values.
"Faith, hope and love are the good things He gave us," but God didn't stop there. You are the b-e-s-t best of all the r-e-s-t rest and you'll cheer cheer cheer with all your z-e-s-t zest.ġ1. Writing a sweet note to your sorority sister? End it with a "S.L.A.M." Sending a text to your little? End it with a "S.L.A.M." Asking your roommate to please please please pick up her clothes from last weekend? End it with a "S.L.A.M." 9. Whether the ocean is touching your toes or you're thousands of feet above sea level on a mountain, you've gotta represent. You throw the Sigmas or sailboat whenever you travel. Harmony was created just for Tri Sigma, which makes her the most special of all. We have Tri Sigma alumnae Linda Denham to thank for creating an important part of our childhood: Care Bears. The sailboat is Tri Sigma's official symbol, but why not have the whole package with anchors and beachy prints and other ocean-esque themes? Sure, Sigmas may look like the letter E.just like the number "5" looks like a capital S, but no one gets those confused. You've been called the sorority "with the three E's." You know what year Columbus sailed the ocean. It's easy to admit that writing a sigma was difficult at first, but never fear! Your sigma writing skills are top notch because you always have to write three of them every single time you write your sorority's letters.
