Sigma Kappa’s Ice Follies:
Sigma Kappa holds Ice Follies every year. It is a broomball tourtament where teams of six play onthe ice with sneakers instead of skates and brooms instead of hockey sticks. This event, held every spring, helps bring together members of the Penn State community and raise money for our various philanthropies. In 2008, Sigma Kappa was able to raise over $1500! This year, in March 2009, Sigma Kappa raised over $2000!

Gerontology Studies:
Sigma Kappa-the first Greek-letter organization to recognize the need for service to the elderly population. Sigma Kappa approved this philanthropy in 1918. The Penn State chapter makes a point to help elderly in the Centre County Area through visits or activities throughout the year.

Alzheimer’s Disease:
In 1984 Sigma Kappa responded to an increasingly critical problem facing older Americans by adding Alzherimer's Disease research and education to its philanthropic activites. Research grants are made each year to universities and other institutions actively ingaged in the fight against Alzheimer's Disease. Through its partnership with the National Alzheimer's Association, Sigma Kappa's throughout the country, as well as the Sigma Kappa Foundation, raise money for research and to increase awareness regarding the tragedy of this affliction. The Penn State Chapter supports the philanthropy through our very own "Sigma Kappa Sliders", which is an all day slip n' slide event. With help from the Penn State Greek Community we are able to work together to find a cure for this disease.

Maine Seacoast Mission:
Since 1918, Sigma Kappa has paid homage to its Maine roots by supporting the activites of the Maine Seacost Society. The Maine Seacoast Missionary Society delievers critical services to people in need whilie striving to redress the roat causes of those needs. With the help of the 75-foot mission vessel and Sunbeam V, direct programs and services include church and pastoral work, assisstance to those in sickness or poverty, financial aid, food banks, recycled clothign shops, crisis intervention, youth programs, and ministries in the field.
