SIGMA SIGMA SIGMA AT SUNY ONEONTA
THE ROBBIE PAGE MEMORIAL
Sigma Sigma Sigma centers its philanthropic efforts through the Robbie Page Memorial. Established following the 1951 death of a son of the Sorority's National President, Mary Hastings Holloway Page, the RPM supported various polio research projects including the Salk vaccine trials.
Long range programming to develop and support play therapy for hospitalized children began at North Carolina Memorial Hospital once a cure for polio was discovered. By focusing on the emotional and developmental needs of hospitalized children, funds raised by collegiate and alumnae chapters were used not only to establish playrooms, but also to create a specialized field of study for professionals in child development and associated health care professions. Current national efforts are centered on supporting the play therapy programs at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, Chapel Hill and Children's Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.
The Zeta Delta Chapter loves to raise as much money as we can for the Robbie Page Memorial. Every semester, we host a "Rockin' 4 Robbie" event in the main quad on campus. Sisters "rock" the day away in rocking chairs to raise money for the philanthropy. We make over $1,000 annually through the rocking chairs, bake sale, and miscellaneous fundraisers we hold at each event! We will post when the next event is.
