Additional Information

Chapter Summary/Information: Sigma Kappa is a place to have fun, a place to grow, and a place to call home! Welcome to the Lambda chapter of Sigma Kappa at UC Berkeley! Our family consists of diverse women from all across the country, all with their own fabulous personalities and unique interests, yet all possessing the same set of values, flair for fun, academic ambition, and dedication to making a difference in the lives of others. We are proud of who we are, and we support one another to become who we want to be. Our mission is to provide each and every Sigma Kappa with a solid foundation of lifelong friendship and the best college experience she can possibly have! We would love to share with you the same happiness and amazing memories we’ve had the privilege of enjoying here at Sigma Kappa. In our sisterhood, you know you will always have the good company of your sisters whether you are getting ready for a night out, pulling an all-nighter, going to the gym, shopping in San Francisco, or even just staying in to watch a movie. As a Sigma Kappa, you can be sure that you will never find yourself without an extensive social network, an academic support system, or the feeling that you are part of something bigger than yourself. Please check out our chapter website www.calsigmakappa.com to further explore all the wonderful aspects that make up the Sigma Kappa experience! We encourage all of you to come through Recruitment and get to know the women of the 12 fabulous sororities on campus. We can’t wait to meet you and show you around our beautiful home!

Message from the President: Hello everyone! On behalf of the Lambda chapter of Sigma Kappa, I'd like to welcome you to UC Berkeley! I encourage you all to Go Greek. It is the best decision I've made in college, and I hope that it can enrich your life like it has enriched mine. I can't imagine what college would be like without Sigma Kappa. Being a member has given me lifelong friends (and future bridesmaids), motivated me to do better in school, and given me incredible memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Some of my favorite memories include spending days on end in the dining room studying for finals, going rollerskating (and breaking my ankle and literally being carried out by two of my sisters!), and celebrating our 100 year anniversary at Cal last fall. College can be a stressful time, but I am always so grateful to have incredibly supportive relationships with the women in Sigma Kappa. I know that when I come home to Sigma Kappa, no matter what time of day or what kind of mood I'm in, I have someone who is there for me. Feel free to check out our website (www.calsigmakappa.com), get to know the women of Sigma Kappa, and see more of our sisterhood! Welcome to Cal and Go Bears!

Chapter History: The Lambda chapter was founded on the Berkeley campus in 1910 and has harbored proud members of the Cal campus for more than 100 years. Built in 1936, our house was one of the first and few that was built specifically to be a sorority house. With its high ceilings, cottage-like roof, grassy courtyard, and large old-fashioned windows, our home has definitely earned its reputation as the "Fairy Tale" house.
