What is the "forgotten letter" of the Greek alphabet and why is it important to our National Sorority?
Digamma has been passed down from Sister to new member to serve as a symbolic reminder of our history. Like the letter Digamma, our history is sometimes forgotten. We sometimes forget the reason why our Sisterhood was founded. It is important to take time, now and then, to remember our humble beginnings and appreciate how far we have come thanks to the devotion of our Founding Sisters (and Brothers), and all those who have contributed to our goals since then. Digamma reminds us to look at our past and be proud of our heritage.
