Background

Founders:

Sigma Kappa was founded in 1874 at Colby College in Maine. The five founders of Sigma Kappa were the first women admitted into the college: Mary Low Carver, Louise Helen Coburn, Frances Mann Hall, Ida Fuller Pierce and Elizabeth Gorham Hoag were the first women to pursue higher education at this historically male college. These five strong women established the basis for a national sorority which still thrives today after over 120 years. They were also pioneers in the fields of education, business, public service and philanthropy. They were women with high personal and professional goals. They continue to influence the women today who are attracted to Sigma Kappa
