If you’re a recent grad like me, it’s probably still a little weird that the upcoming fall doesn’t mean the start of a new school year. Though my mind seems to expect it, I won’t attend the first day of class, go back to school shopping, or get excited over syllabus week. But the oddest [...]
The slow pace of summer has come to a screeching halt with the beginning of another school year. As a teacher, I have already settled back into the routine of an alarm clock and an early bed time while still trying to figure out how I am going to fit everything into 24 hours. I thrive [...]
Wow. I can’t believe it’s already that time of year. School is back in session, so it’s a little quieter around our place now that our daughter is back in school. I cannot believe she is now in third grade. Time really does fly.
Along with school comes a few additional expenses. We all know that [...]
I’m currently living in the same-ish city where I attended college. It was a place that I didn’t intend on returning to after I graduated but I found that no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t seem to stay away.

Having majored in engineering at a school known for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), I’m very interested in encouraging young people to [...]
August– the month where the weather slowly turns from the hot summer days to the sun setting a little earlier each night. Parents and students frantically shop for last minute school supplies, dorm necessities, packing lunches or packing a car for the monumental drive to college. While August means the end of summer, it has [...]
There are whispers of fall in the air. School registration; high school and college football; hearing the band practicing from my front yard; having teenagers file in and out of my house again; and filling out Sigma Kappa formal recruitment introductions for incoming freshmen. I love fall, but I wish I could suspend time right now. The fam has [...]
When most Sigma Kappa alumnae decide to volunteer with the National Organization after graduation, they sign up to help with formal recruitment or as a member of the advisory board for their local chapter. But there is another AMAZING volunteer opportunity that awaits them — corporation board!! As a National Corporation liaison, I have the privilege [...]
