Happy Monday! Today’s post is a little different than my usual, but in honor of it being International Badge Day for sorority women, I wanted to talk about why I’m actively involved with my sorority, Sigma Kappa, as an alumna & how grateful I am for the opportunity to impact young women. Bonus: I’m showing off an outfit that’s appropriate badge attire too {for my non Greek friends, that just means its business meeting appropriate!}
