Total Sorority Move responds to Sigma Kappa's Actual Sorority Move campaign
Instagram and Facebook feeds were filled with images of college women in lab coats or with books in hand with the hashtag #ActualSororityMove (ASM) on April 19. Elon Univeristy’s Kappa Zeta chapter of Sigma Kappa launched the ASM campaign in a Facebook post beginning with “Dear Total Sorority Move (and anyone else), This is a message for you...” The post went on describing the chapter was a group of real, passionate, smart women and are not what a website defines a sorority as. Sororities as a whole face a variety of stigmas such as having a certain appearance, paying for friendships and being more focused on partying than academia. Sigma Kappa tried to go beyond this, according to junior Amanda Steinman, a member of Sigma Kappa who helped organize the campaign. “We are a multidimensional group of women, we have passions and dreams and goals, we fight for gender equality, we work together to lift one another up, we cannot fit a mold or be put into boxes,” said a statement from the Kappa Zeta chapter. Members of various chapters of Sigma Kappa as well as other sororities joined in and posted photos explaining how they were individuals while still being proud sorority sisters.
