Sigma Eta begins new chapter

A sorority first brought to campus more than four decades ago is welcoming a new sisterhood building on the legacy of those who came before them.

Under the leadership of Marjorie Woods, the Sigma Eta Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc. was chartered at the college with seven members on October 27, 1976, according to Taryl Anderson ’80, M’81.

Head Cheerleading Coach Nicole Joseph M’20, president of Sigma Eta and LaGrange’s Theta Xi Zeta, rechartered the college chapter on March 25, 2024, with five students. The new members were introduced during a ceremonial event in April.

“This is an amazing opportunity not only for the sorority, but for the future of the college,” said member Carmen Hamilton ’24.

Joseph looks forward to what lies ahead for the sisterhood.

“I envision a sorority where bonds are formed, where support is unwavering and where the journey is shared,” she said.
