FRESHMAN YEAR EXPERIENCE
Freshman Year Experience is a very good program at Valdosta
State University. It helps incoming freshman become familiar with
the campus, get adjusted to campus life, and most importantly it requires students to get out and get involved in the community for
a minimum of ten hours!

WHY COMMUNITY SERVICE IS IMPORTANT
I think that it is important for everyone to be involved with some form of
community service. For one, it gives back to the community or an organization and always supports a good cause. Second, it allows an individual to learn responsibility
and diligence!

KAPPA SIGMA’S PHILANTHROPY
Every year, Kappa Sigma sets aside a special week in the spring
dedicated to its philanthropy. Kappa Sigma’s philanthropy is The
American Cancer Society and The Haven.

The Haven is a local home in the city of Valdosta . The Haven House
is a home that is available for families suffering from family
violence, sexual assault, as well as emergency assistance.

THE MISSIONKappa Sigma’s Mission during
Philanthropy Week 2008 was to raise money for the American Cancer Society and the Haven
House. Not only did Kappa Sigma want to raise money for a good
cause, but it was also important to have fun doing it and to get involved in the community!

SAND CASTLE DAY One day the sororities built sand castles
and it was the best day.

OTHER ACTIVITESAlong with doing the sand castles,
sororities also competed in a scavenger hunt across VSU’s campus, Karaoke at
Charley O’Corleys, and a pageant. Then the entire week was topped off with an
end of the week celebration at the Kappa Sigma house where there was a
band and good times!

THE FINAL OUTCOME
Philanthropy Week turned out to be a huge success and we raised almost $4500 to go towards the
American Cancer Society and tons of canned goods and bath supplies for The Haven!
