New Member Program

The New Member Experience is based on Tri Sigma’s mission, vision and values. Our mission statement challenges us to establish among its members a perpetual bond of friendship, to develop in them strong womanly character, and impress upon them high standards of conduct.  We strive to achieve this by providing exceptional experiences that empower our members to change the world.  The new member program is grounded in these tenets. 

• The ideal new member program is 6-8 weeks; however, it will never exceed 8 weeks. 
• The program is designed to educate new members on Tri Sigma's history, values, and operations, as well as provide the opportunity to develop valuable leadership and academic success skills. 
• Guided online sessions complement weekly in-person group meetings.
• A Big Sis is paired with each new member to help her navigate the new member period and serve as a mentor throughout college.
• New members will also have responsibilities that mirror those of the initiated members. This can include study hours, participation requirements, a financial commitment, the opportunity to hold leadership positions, and a responsibility to uphold the values and standards of Tri Sigma. These responsibilities continue throughout the collegiate membership experience.

Dear Potential New Members,

Congratulations on your acceptance to Auburn University! 

With the fall semester quickly approaching, we encourage all of you to sign up for recruitment this summer and to participate in Formal Recruitment in August. It’s a WONDERFUL experience that allows you to grow in many ways. That week is all about you so let your personality shine through. Remember to keep an open mind and allow one of our eighteen sororities to sweep you of your feet. Every sister you meet at Tri Sigma will show you her own experience and what sisterhood means to her. The opportunities that have become available to me through Sigma have been life-changing and crucial in my development as a young woman. Empowered women empower women and you will find that support in Sigma and in our Greek Community at Auburn. I look forward to meeting our newest pledge class, and to helping them navigate their first semester at Auburn!

Good luck and War Eagle!

Olivia Barksdale
