A tradition in the Office of Student Life is to order banners for all new, recognized fraternities and sororities at UCA. This past week we added two (2) new banners to our collection as welcomed Sigma Gamma Rho back to campus and Alpha Sigma Phi to UCA for the first time. It is great to see our UCA fraternity/sorority growing with the addition of such awesome organizations!
Congratulations to both of these organizations!
Three young women who dared to be different and truly follow their hearts by showing extraordinary leadership recently reactivated Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Incorporated on the campus the University of Central Arkansas. Bre Brunson, given the name Pure Gold, Shaquille Patton as Golden Storm and Sequoia Snowden also known as Golden pRHOfection are the current members of the undergraduate Lambda Xi chapter.
“Words cannot describe how much we love being prissy poodles! For our neophyte presentation, we can say that we were not nervous at all but ready! We were ready to shine, ready to be different, ready to bring a breath of fresh air back to campus! It has been nothing but love shown from everyone since we have RHOturned! Cameras constantly swarm us when we are on the yard! We love one another very much and will never forget the impact we made the night of March 16, 2014! EEE-YIP!!!”

Our UCA fraternity/sorority members give back to the state of Arkansas in variety of manners, including the support of the Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH). ACH’s Committee for the Future recently hosted a six (6) night Phone-A-Thon to help raise funds for the hospitals future expansions and treatments. These yearly Phone-A-Thons are what help ACH offer such high quality care to children and their families during their times of need.
Part of the Phone-A-Thon includes friendly competitions amongst various community groups to see who can raise the most money. The Delta Tau chapter of Sigma Kappa at UCA participated in the Phone-A-Thon and was able to raise $6,289 for ACH. By raising this much money, Sigma Kappa was ranked in the top three (3) teams for raising the most money during the Phone-A-Thon. Below are the standings from the event:
A HUGE thank you and congrats to our TOP 10 TEAMS from our 2014 Phone-A-Thon:
| 1. Crews & Associates | $ 14,295.00 |
| 2. Arvest | $ 7,385.00 |

For three years the Office of Student Life (OSL) produced the UCAGreeks Newsletter to keep students, faculty/staff, alumni, and community members updated about everything happening in the UCA fraternity/sorority community. The UCAGreeks Newsletter has been a great resource to a large number of people over the years, but it becoming outdated. Today’s students prefer real-time updates about what is happening through a variety of social media platforms and RSS feeds. To meet the needs of our students and provide them with the most up to date information, the OSL has created the UCAGreeks Blog.download Tomorrow Everything Starts movie now
This blog is intended to be a collaborative effort between OSL staff, students, alumni, campus partners, and community members. This blog is meant to encompass stories and updates from a wide range of sources and present them in an online forum. We are hoping that a wide array of individuals and groups will submit pieces to be presented on this blog. To learn more about the types of content we are looking to feature on the UCAGreeks Blog, please read the “About” section.
The OSL staff looks forward to building a new platform of communication about the UCA fraternity/sorority community with each of you. Thank you for your continued support of our students and community.
Best,
Scott Isenga
