TBΣ Programs

The District Council invites each chapter to participate in a project that started at the 2022 district convention.

Each chapter is to design/create buttons to have members of their chapter bring to trade with members from other chapters. The concept behind this initiative is to encourage members to seek out and meet members from other chapters. When you meet somebody from a different chapter, you introduce yourselves then trade your chapter's buttons with each other! The goal with trading would be to collect buttons from all the chapters at convention. In theory if a person has a button from every chapter, they have met at least one person from every chapter. This helps possibly spark new friendships across the southwest.

For your chapter to participate, this is what you will need to do:

Design a Button! You can use your chapter logo or create a fun design using apps like canva.
Order Enough Buttons. There are 33 chapters in the southwest district, so I would suggest purchasing about 40-50 buttons for each member to try to trade with each chapter. I recommend using www.stickermule.com/ as they tend to make good quality items, but feel free to use whomever.
Come to District! Meet people at district convention to trade! It can be that simple!

The district council members will also be participating! Each officer/counselor will have about 100 pins to trade with members until they run out. This is an opportunity to meet and chat with your current district officers!

This is something exciting and can be a fun social activity while at #SWDCON25! If anybody has any questions or feedback, please let Kamryn Knafelz know at swdsectreas@tbsigma.org! See everyone in Oklahoma this March!

All chapters are encouraged to participate in the SWD photo challenge! Chapter photos from each month will be posted on the district social medias as they are received each month! Please submit your submissions to swdvpsp@tbsigma.org!

August - “Back to Business”
- Chapters can take a photo of sisters and brothers in the first meeting or event of the year!
September - “Sisterhood September”
- Chapters can take photos of their chapter during sisterhood events, maybe a game night, movie night, or any activity that helps the chapter bond.
October - “Spooky Sisters”

December - “Winter Wonderland”
