Virtual Leadership Seminars
Each semester, VLS provides engaging, webinar-style programs that offer practical tools members can immediately apply to their life and leadership journeys.
Tri Sigma's values—wisdom, power, faith, hope, and love—are the foundation of our sisterhood, guiding our actions, decisions, and relationships both within the sorority and beyond. These values shape our commitment to personal growth, leadership, and service, inspiring us to strive for excellence in all areas of our lives. By embracing and embodying these values, Tri Sigmas not only honor our rich history and traditions but also cultivate a supportive and empowering community that fosters meaningful connections, lifelong learning, and positive impact in the world.
We are thrilled to announce The Sigma Way, our multi-part fall Virtual Leadership Seminar. Over the course of five sessions, members will gain a deeper understanding of our guiding values and learn how to live them out in their everyday lives.
