With the help of a matching RPM Grant from the Tri Sigma Foundation, the Alpha Mu Chapter brought 'a little something extra' to young patients at Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital In the heart of Louisiana, a place of hope and healing now boasts an enchanting addition that is already bringing smiles and joy to the faces of the youngest patients at Our Lady of Lourdes Women’s & Children’s Hospital in Lafayette. The recently updated Child Life Playroom is the latest testament to the impact of the Robbie Page Memorial Fund. A partnership between the Our Lady of Lourdes Foundation and the Alpha Mu Chapter at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, plus a matching grant through the Tri Sigma Foundation made the playroom possible. A dedication ceremony for the 300-square-foot space was held in April. The playroom provides a special place for pediatric and PICU patients to participate in therapeutic play, a small oasis of fun and normalcy amidst an often-stressful medical setting. “There is such a healing modality to providing children the opportunity to do things they would be doing at home that they are unable to do while they are in the hospital,” said Laurel Blanchard, Certified Child Life Specialist. “Being able to have this space allows that.” With its vibrant colors and an abundance of toys and games, this space has become a beacon of happiness for the hospital's tiniest patients. It's not just about fun and games; it's a vital component of the healing process. Research shows child life therapy significantly improves the well-being of pediatric patients. According to a study published in Medical News Today, child life interventions reduce anxiety levels in hospitalized children by more than 70 percent. The Alpha Mu Chapter raised funds through their annual chili cook-off, one of the largest annual philanthropic events hosted by a Tri Sigma collegiate chapter. "Our annual chili cook-off has been enjoyed by our community for officially a decade. Our members always enjoy seeing how much our sponsors, teams, and attendees enjoy this event," said Alpha Mu Philanthropy Chair Ashley Graffeo. "Our members take so much pride in knowing our hard work supports causes greater than ourselves." The Tri Sigma Foundation awards grants to local therapeutic play programs nominated by individual members, as well as collegiate and alumnae chapters. Play therapy helps children cope with difficult emotions and experiences. It can also help children feel more comfortable during medical procedures, like getting a shot or having blood drawn. By teaching them relaxation techniques and distracting them with play, they can feel less pain and fear. Since the establishment of the Robbie Page Memorial Fund in 1954, Tri Sigmas have contributed more than $2 million in grants to support our philanthropic initiative Sigma Serves Children. Each year, the Foundation awards local grants to programs nominated by individual Tri Sigmas or alumnae/collegiate chapters. Grants up to $5,000 may be awarded to hospitals and clinics for items such tablets, virtual reality headsets, sensory boxes, books, and interactive play tables.

While Tri Sigma National Headquarters is located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, 100% of NHQ staff work remotely across the U.S. To keep members informed of our recent move, we compiled a list of questions in our FAQ below. Mail to National Headquarters and the Foundation should be addressed to 1506 E. Franklin St., Suite 300, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. Visit our Contact Us page for more information or to send us a message. What happened to the Walton House? The COVID-19 pandemic prompted many societal changes. Organizations across all industries and sectors—including NPC organizations—began rethinking the use of physical office spaces. In 2021, Executive Council sought a detailed, third-party feasibility study to revisit the physical space needs of NHQ. It was determined that two buildings totaling12,240 square feet were no longer needed to meet Tri Sigma’s space needs. ​ After extensive discussion and review of the findings—as well as a review of previous feasibility studies—Executive Council has determined it is in the best long-term financial interest of Tri Sigma to sell both Walton House and the adjacent administrative offices located in Woodstock, Virginia. While listed as separate properties, a local resident and long-time admirer of the Walton House purchased both in the spring of 2024. ​ A more detailed overview can be found in the most recent issue of The Triangle . How was Chapel Hill selected? Tri Sigma owns a property in Chapel Hill that previously housed Tri Sigma’s Delta Delta Chapter. As the chapter is no longer active on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill, it will provide an efficient transition of operations, accommodate the ever-evolving needs of our membership, and provide the space needed to house and showcase Tri Sigma’s archives collection. ​ The first floor of the property in Chapel Hill is ADA-compliant and close in proximity to a major airport. This will make travel to NHQ more accessible to staff, volunteers, and other visitors. Its close proximity to three major universities will also provide expanded opportunities for larger in-person meetings and events. While we are still excited to move into this property, we aren’t there just yet. We have secured a small office space in Chapel Hill to temporarily house our base of operations while the house’s current occupants finish their rental agreement and minor updates and renovations can be made to accommodate our space needs. What happens if the Delta Delta Chapter re-establishes at UNC–Chapel Hill? The closure agreement between Tri Sigma and UNC-Chapel Hill states that the possibility for re-establishment will occur no sooner than 2029. A return to campus after that time will only occur when conditions are mutually ideal for both the university and Tri Sigma. When and if that opportunity becomes available in the future, we will explore whatever new or existing housing options are needed to make Tri Sigma competitive on campus. What about the history of the Walton House? Walton House will always be an important part of Tri Sigma’s history. We look forward to ensuring it is featured and celebrated in our permeant archives collection. ​ We don’t have to have a physical administrative space in Virginia to celebrate our connection there. As the home of several collegiate and alumnae chapters—as well as thousands of individual members—Tri Sigma will continue to have a thriving presence in the Mother of States. ​ It may surprise you to learn that—contrary to popular belief—Mabel Lee did not grow up at Walton House, nor was it given to Tri Sigma after her death. Known as Muhlenberg Hall in the National Register of Historic Places, the house was built for her brother in 1914—10 years after Mabel Lee became a Sigma. It was never owned by Mabel Lee, nor was it donated to Tri Sigma. Following the 1962 Convention, Tri Sigma purchased the home the following year and renamed it the Mabel Lee Walton House. ​ The Walton House Board summed it up perfectly in their statement regarding the move: ​ Our Heart Home is a grand old lady who deserves to be treated with love and care. Unfortunately, the costs associated with such care have become beyond the reach of practicality, especially when coupled with the limited demand for the use of the property by Sigmas. This is a difficult decision for all of us on the Walton House Board. We love Walton House, but we love Sigma more . ​ A place where people have shared love and laughter is a sacred place and we will always love Walton House. But what made Walton House special was the people who visited it. Those bonds of sisterhood will remain along with our fond memories. ​ The Walton House Board stands in support of our sisters on Executive Council in their decision to sell Walton House. How will our legacy be preserved? In addition to the exciting opportunities ahead of us to showcase our archives in person, Tri Sigma has invested in a digital magazine archive to make historical information accessible to members across the country. This—coupled with the Oral History Project—has made it possible for members to revisit our past without the time and expense of traveling to a small town in rural Virginia. It’s also important to note that, while Woodstock has been the longest-running and most significant home of Tri Sigma’s base of operations, it was not the first. Prior to Sigma’s purchase of the Walton House in the 1960s, the national office had previously moved to wherever the current national president lived. Tri Sigma’s legacy is more than a building—it is 125 years of sisterhood which extend far beyond Walton House. What happened to all the furnishings, displays and gifts to Walton House? We are happy to share that the bunk beds have been donated to a nonprofit organization called GAP in the Shenandoah Valley. GAP—which stands for Grandparents as Parents—is a group of grandparents and other relatives raising children unable to live with their birth parents. Each family has their own story of how they returned to parenting once again, be it from issues related to abuse, neglect, abandonment, or the death of one or both parents. Volunteers for GAP were extremely grateful to receive this donation and assured us they would be put to good use. Some of the furnishings purchased for specific rooms of the Walton House have been sold to the buyer and will remain at 225 N. Muhlenberg. The NHQ sign and commemorative bricks have been relocated to our future property in Chapel Hill. I am a member—why didn't I receive the announcement email?

Our Impact The words “To receive much, you must give much” hold a special place in the hearts of our members. Through fundraising, advocacy, and volunteerism we extend our reach beyond chapter walls. Sigmas empower those around them to make a profound impact on the world and create positive change that is both powerful and undeniable. Sigma Serves Children Since 1951, Tri Sigma has dedicated itself to serving children’s health initiatives. This legacy began with funding polio research through our first national philanthropic partner, the Robbie Page Memorial Fund. After polio was eradicated, that mission shifted toward funding emotional support resources for hospitalized children known as “play therapy.” This cutting-edge treatment uses music, art, animals, games and other forms of play to help children cope with difficult emotions and better understand their illnesses and cope with the treatments they must undergo. Tri Sigma Foundation Through generous member donations and funds raised by collegiate and alumnae chapters, the Foundation’s Robbie Page Memorial Fund awards grants to hospitals, clinics, and research and therapeutic play programs in our local communities. The Foundation also funds scholarships and important leadership and development efforts. March of Dimes Partnership Tri Sigma National Sorority is a proud partner of the March of Dimes. From advocacy work and raising awareness in our communities to making baby blankets and donating items to the March of Dimes’ Military Baby Shower program, Sigmas of all generations work tirelessly to ensure children (and their moms!) have a fighting chance for bright, healthy futures.
