Spoken From The Frontline - A Tribute To Our Warriors

OUR TRIBUTE TO WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT! WE RAISED 16,010L$! ALL FEES WERE COLLECTED BY WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT ORGANIZER, A LINDEN LABS APPROVED NON-PROFIT VENDOR!

Worth The Fight

Every year, thousands of soldiers return to their home country with the deep scars of war. Some deeper than others, some more visible than others and yet they are treated the same by their home government. However, every soldier is not the same. They do not share the same scars or the same experience and therefore, they cannot receive the same treatment. Wounded Warriors Project aims to individually treat soldiers who many otherwise be left on the VA assistance list for a longer period of time. 

The Simple Things

When you donate to Wounded Warrior Project, a soldier receives a backpack with a calling card, clothes, food, hygiene products and other amenities that will help him get his life back on track and hopefully, get him on his way home. When you donate a car or truck is filled with gas that offers a soldier a ride from base to home. When you donate a soldier gets a job that will not only start his career but help his mind stay focused and out of the depression of war. When you donate to WWP, you save a soldiers life that helped protect yours. 

#IotaStrong

Iota Sigma Rho SL Sorority is strong because we are comprised of REAL WOMEN who have sons that are active duty Marine and Army, Cousins off shore in the Navy and Reserves and veterans in our own ranks. We stand by our military men and women because they make the decision every day to answer the call of our country, despite their political and social beliefs. They choose to arm their homeland with their life and fight for a freedom that is not free. When you see #IotaStrong, know that we are #ArmyProud, #NavyProud, #MarineMomProud, #AirforceProud and we are PRHOud to support our veterans and active duty military. 

Special Thanks

We would like to thank Lady China for Djing the first half for us and a special thanks to our Vet. Dj Blue2Smooth for sharing his stories and letting us know things that mean a lot to veterans when the return home. That is priceless information that will help us improve our efforts and therefore improve the quality of life in every soldier.

Awareness IS Key

Iota Sigma Rho SL Sorority is a strictly awareness focused organization. We do not attempt nor do we collect any funds,lindens or otherwise, on behalf of the charities we support. If funds are being collected we cannot take part as an official sponsor

This is why; we have yet to see a Greek organization in SECONDLIFE show their tax identification form from their group to a charity. Further, the likeliness of this happening is very very RARE! We has a whole cannot agree with that. We don't need nor want peoples lindens for these charities.

We want to be recognized as sisterhood that is focused on bring the needs of veterans and veteran efforts to light. Not as an organization that is taking money or try to raise a certain amount of money that will more than likely be spent on tiers or items.

We will continue to morally support any and all groups. But fiscally, it is not within our best interest to support any monetary charities within second life. We urge all groups to consider focusing more on awareness. With this in mind, we look forward to the continued efforts of all our Partner In Service.

What To Expect When You're Expecting (TO "PLEDGE")!

------------------->>>> APPLICATION DEADLINE IN 1 WEEK! <<<<--------------------
 How nerve racking!

We get a lot of interesting topics on FB about what we expect of our "pledges". What we want them to do and how demanding we are. How the process takes up allllllll of your time and you never see your family again and life doesn't exist when you're "on line" and omg ... omg ... what to do!

Well...

We don't have "pledges". We have "rushees" or what we like to call "gems". These elite ladies will go through a process, one of which they know about from Rush Week to Gems Week to the end. Our Gems class will comprise of various tasks that test how you react in a group setting to challenges while you're HAVING FUN!

Here is what you can expect;

✓ We don't have a "pledges". 

✓ We don't make you look ridiculous. 

✓ We follow the true meaning of being their for you sister by ACTUALLY putting you in situations that will show your character within the confines of SL.

✓ We don't make you have a ridiculous notion that anyone is better than the rest simply because they can do something you can. IE; dj, build, take photos. You're ALL individually precious because our Gems are women of upstanding character. 

✓ We don't have a "Pledge Master", that anyone answers to. Are you slaves? (No offense to any slaves out there.) But to put it simply, we are not your mistress's(No offense to any mistress's out there). We are your guides to the world of Greekdom.

✓ We don't make you complete POINTLESS tasks. Hanging pretty pictures and dancing in a circle is cool and all.... BUT.... how does that tell us who YOU are. From that all I can tell is; your favorite color is red and you have some really provocative dances. *golf claps*

✓ Did you know that Pearl VictoriaRose bought so many castles from one of SL's OLDEST, builder of 9 years,  fantasy builders that she now gets all of his new releases free of charge? Did you even know she loved castles? Not to worry. When you go through our Gem Class, you will have the space and time in a relaxed setting to get to know each and every potential member on an individual bases. 

✓ Take your game face off and put your relaxed face on. This is not a battle to see if you can complete our tasks but a journey to walk side by side with your own personal "Big". You and that member will have chances to talk and she can assist you with anything you need.

*****************************   RL NPC GREEK FACT  *****************************
THE IDEA OF A "BIG SISTER" WAS NOT TO PLACE SOMEONE ABOVE THE OTHER. IT WAS A QUASI- LITERAL STATEMENT. THE "BIG" IS THE MAIN POINT OF CONTACT AND ADVISOR TO THE "LITTLE". THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE "BIG" AND THE "LITTLE" IS SO CLOSE THAT THEY OFTEN BECOME VERY CLOSE FRIENDS FOR LIFE. FROM THIS, "BIG/LITTLE" PADDLES/TRINKETS ETC. HAVE BEEN MADE AND GIVEN AS TRADITIONAL GIFTS. 

***This Greek Fact Moment has been brought to you by Iota Sigma Rho Secondlife Sorority Leadership. *****



✓ Ready to choose? RUSH Week is a week dedicated to showing our best face to potential members so that YOU can choose us. Confused? Please refer to  "'Ahhhhh', says the intelligent woman, 'I think I want to pledge?! What do I do!?'", post. 


Overall, this is what you can expect, 

✓ Fun

✓ Challenges

✓ Sisterly Bonding

✓ Personal Team Building 

✓ Good Conversation

✓ EQUALITY

✓ Sisterhood

We are not a organization of builders or djs or photographers. We're simply women who want to bond with other women who have a love of sisterhood! 

We hope these posts have been helpful!
