Founder’s Day
💜
Sigma Kappa house - University of Washington. In 2005 the building achieved landmark status both in the city of Seattle and on the National Historic Register.
My freshman year of college I joined Sigma Kappa Sorority at the University of Washington. Sigma Kappa is a national Greek letter organization with 124 collegiate chapters and 120 alumnae chapters across the United States. The organization was founded November 9th, 1874 by the first female students admitted to Maine’s Colby College.
College life.
My Sigma Kappa pledge class was made up of 35 gals from across the country. We spent our college years living together, studying together and getting into all kinds of mischief. Some of my best friends are people I met in the house.
Some of the crew, senior year of college.
Every November, Sigma Kappa chapters across the country celebrate the formation of the sorority through an event called Founder’s Day. As the name suggests, this day honors the five women who founded the sorority. It is also a chance for collegiate and alumnae members of the organization to bond, share stories and enjoy sisterhood over a lovely meal.
The last time I attended a Founder’s Day event was probably November 1995. However LAST NIGHT, my classmates and I went back for a special celebration. This year marked the 25th anniversary of our initiation.

We ate dinner at the chapter house while enjoying the normal Founder’s Day program. Near the conclusion of the festivities, there was a special presentation where we were each gifted a certificate, flowers and our 25 year pins. After we went on a house tour.

After running around the sorority reminiscing about the old days, we headed to a local Italian spot for late night happy hour! 🍷🍝 🍕
Fun Times with old friends are always great.

Thanks @c-squared! Always nice when you pop past. ☺️
Sorority i would like to join one, in italy these kinds of community do not exist , i see them only on movies. It's so cool ^^ It seems you create a great company of friends ^^
Real life sororities are different to the movies, but they are still fun. ☺️ It is a nice way to meet new people when your are a young student at a very large university.
Okay quick - no filter - craziest trouble you got into with those girls!
😂🤣 Oh jeez.
🤔
Here is some innocent trouble.
One night all dressed in black wearing masks and doo rags. Broke into a fraternity a few blocks away and ran through their house in the middle of the night squirting everyone with super soakers. ☺️ They had a pool. After the initial shock of getting shot in the face with water by random masked bandits, the guys rallied and several of us were caught. I got carried from the third floor down to the main floor and tossed in the pool. 😁
Totally worth it.
Ah ha ha that is great! Masked banditas that is awesome
So wonderful ! Your sisterhood's bond seems very strong and warm <3 Love the photos, also <3
Thanks @veryspider! I am lucky to have met some great chicks in college who I still call friends today. ☺️
