But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’

“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”

The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

- The Parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:33-37 (NIV)


Over the past two years, our world has been thrown off course and a new normal has come about due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although financial need has always been part of our society, the pandemic brought the need to the forefront, and we as a national chapter and alumnae committed to supporting our active sisters through financial stress. We began what is now called the Sisters Helping Sisters sponsor match program, where alumna would pledge donations that would be used to help active sisters struggling to continue membership due to finances.

 

The Sigma Alpha Omega® Foundation has committed to continuing this program even after the pandemic has ended. If you are financially able and choose to participate in this year's Sisters Helping Sisters, you will be able to sponsor sister dues in part or in full for those in need. There is no set amount required and you are welcome to contribute and amount with which you are comfortable.

Sponsors are expected to pay donated funds directly to the chapter of the sponsored sister after receiving instructions for how to do so via email after being matched with an active sister(s). Those alumnae who sponsor sisters will receive a mailed Thank You card along with recognition as a sponsor on the Sigma Alpha Omega® Foundation website under the "Special Recognition" tab after confirmation of receipt of payment by the Sigma Alpha Omega® Foundation treasurer.
