Sigma Kappa (ΣΚ)

Sigma Kappa is a sorority that emphasizes sisterhood, academic achievement, and service to others.

The chapter is deeply committed to its philanthropic initiatives, including support for Alzheimer’s research and the Sigma Kappa Foundation. Through events and fundraising efforts, the sisters of Sigma Kappa work to make a difference both locally and nationally, especially in raising awareness for Alzheimer’s disease. At UT Knoxville, the chapter fosters a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, where members can grow as leaders, build lasting friendships, and thrive academically. Sigma Kappa offers opportunities for leadership, personal growth, and community involvement, making it a valuable part of the Greek life experience and the Volunteer spirit on Rocky Top.
