  • Spring Meeting and Social Event

    Good morning, Zeta Pi members,

    Due to some circumstances with this week's weather and other unforeseen issues, we regretfully have to postpone our Spring Meeting for this evening. 

    We are planning to reschedule the meeting for April 18 in hopes that a later date will give everyone ample time to arrange their schedules so we can all meet and have an educational evening along with some fun. 

    We will send out an updated flyer with a registration link very soon, so please be on the lookout for that information. We hope to see you all at the meeting or one of our other events. 

    Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or if I can assist you with your Sigma membership in any way. 

    Respectfully,

    Gina Rhodes, Chapter President
    Zeta Pi Chapter of Sigma
