Happy 90th Anniversary
Delta Omicron Sigma Columbus Alumnae chapter along with Iota Nu Sigma Alumnae chapter celebrated the sorority's 90th anniversary with a luncheon that was held on November 10, 2012 at the Boat House at Confluence Park. Over 200 sorors, fellow greeks and family and friends came for fellowship and honoring of the 7 women who founded this illustrious sorority. Luncheon participants were treated to a monologue by soror TaTiana Sanders and a praise dance by the Wings of Praise Dance Ministry from Flintridge church. International Grand Epistoleus, Soror Tiffany Hightower was the keynote speaker for the event. During the luncheon a fundraising effort for March of Dimes also took place which netted $525.00 for the organization. As with this years theme of " Uplifting Our Legacy of Sisterhood, Leadership and Service", Delta Omicron Sigma continue to strive for "Greater Service, Greater Progress" in the Columbus metro area.International Grand Epistoleus, Soror Tiffany Hightower |

Sigma Style: 3 Ways to De-Stress Over the Holidays
3 Ways to De-Stress During the Holidays
1. Meditation. Who knew that holiday zen took just a few quiet breaths? Meditation is a powerful de-stressing tool any time of year, but when you're rushed during the holidays it can be the perfect way to center and relax. And the best part? You can do it anywhere. Even if you're standing in line waiting to mail holiday gifts at the post office, you can do it! All you have to do is take a few deep, slow breaths, focusing completely on your inhale and exhale. Yep, that's meditation!
2. Sip green tea. Researchers have found that regularly drinking green tea can help to beat stress and improve psychological well being. So this holiday season, skip the coffee and drink the green stuff!
3. Say "no." Most of us get stressed during the holidays because we're overscheduled and feel obligated to do things when we really don't feel like it (or have the time). So this year, make a commitment to do less and prioritize your time for only the events that are the most important to you. Do this, and you'll kick holiday stress to the curb.
Do you stress out over the holidays? How do you deal? Any holiday meditations you like to do? Share!
