Sorority Information
Sigma Theta Psi's colors are purple, black, and gold. Its mascot is a black panther and its flower is an orchid. As a multicultural sorority, Sigma Theta Psi embraces each sister’s differences and individuality. Each year, chapters organize multicultural events, ranging from step shows to guest speakers.
Sigma Theta Psi is also an academic sorority. Academic excellence is a fundamental pillar of Sigma Theta Psi. All active sisters are required to maintain a minimum grade point average to ensure each member's primary focus on her studies. Sisters are encouraged to strive for the highest level of academic achievement.
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. The event combines awareness and education with culture and diversity to raise money. Along with this national event, chapters host other programs within their communities to constantly educate others about the impact of breast cancer.
The Sisters of Sigma Theta Psi Sorority are also strongly committed to promoting educational advancement for their local communities, and many chapters participate in youth-centered community service activities and community fundraising.

Famous quotes containing the word information:
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
