KIRKSVILLE, MO. -- The sisters of the Mu Chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority descended upon the Truman State University campus Saturday to celebrate the chapter's upcoming 97th anniversary.

The Mu Chapter was chartered in November, 1915, on the campus of North Missouri Normal School of the First District which is now Truman. 

Several dozen alumnae returned to Kirksville for the weekend to reunite and reminisce about their college days. “We said sisterhood is forever, so even if we didn't know each other in college, and I didn’t know a lot of these, the connection was immediate and we just had fun reliving our memories," said alumna Lisa Whitley.

Alumna Pam Holt said it felt very different to be back on campus, “I've worked at three universities and I haven't been here since the 80s. Some of the girls have not been back since they graduated.”

Some of the memories included singing chapter songs. Weekend activities also included a silent auction.
