Gerontology
In 1954 Sigma Kappa became the first national sorority to recognize the need for continued, comprehensive work on the study of aging and the needs of elderly populations. Collegiate and alumnae members throughout the country volunteer their time and talent in support of numerous projects to assist and benefit the elderly.
Alzheimer
In 1984 Sigma Kappa added Alzheimer's Disease research and education to its philanthropic activities. Research grants are made each year to universities and other institutions actively engaged in the fight against Alzheimer's Disease.
The Raleigh Alumnae Chapter along with the NCSU active chapter participated in this years Alzheimer's Memory Walk in RTP.
Inherit the Earth
This program ties Sigma Kappa's interest in older citizens with its interest in the environment. Through Inherit the Earth, collegians, alumnae and older citizens work together to improve local environments.
Maine Seacoast Missionary Society
Since 1918 Sigma Kappa has paid homage to its Maine roots by supporting the activities of the Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society. The Maine Sea Coast Missionary Society delivers critical services to people in need. The Mission serves the islands from mid-coast to Downeast Maine, as well as mainland Hancock and Washington counties.
The Raleigh Alumnae Chapter gathers needed items each year in December and sends them to The Maine SeaCoast Missionary Society.
