Sorority information

Sigma Theta Psi's colors are purple, black, and gold. Its mascot is a black panther and its flower is an orchid. Each year, chapters organize multicultural, social, and academic events ranging from step shows to guest speakers to professional development events.

Since Sigma Theta Psi is also an academic sorority, members are required to maintain a minimum grade point average (GPA). Thus, each member's primary focus should be on her academic studies.

The sorority's national philanthropy is breast cancer awareness. Their current beneficiary is the American Cancer Society. Sigma Theta Psi's annual event to raise money for this organization and local organizations is their Double D Brunch. This event is a national luncheon hosted in both California and Nevada.

gollark: Oh. Right. That.
gollark: When did I *ever* imply it was nice to use?
gollark: beeite.
