It brings us great pleasure to congratulate our Sister, Mary Bausman, on graduating with the Class of 2022! After graduation, our former Sigma Alpha Iota VPR plans include moving to Chicago and substitute teaching while looking for a job in the music business industry.
We are going to miss Mary’s funny jokes and amazing charisma! Please send her well-wishes and congratulations in the comments.

It brings us great pleasure to congratulate our Sister, Emily Hance, on graduating with the Class of 2022! We wish our former Sigma Alpha Iota Social and Service Chair success as she begins a two month summer internship with King’s Castle in El Salvador. Upon her return, Emily will be working at her family’s business, Dough Delights, and as a preschool teacher at Trinity Academy.
We are going to miss your kindness and dedicated efforts to our chapter, Emily! Please send her well-wishes and congratulations in the comments.

Congratulations to our seniors who graduated yesterday! As your time at WIU comes to an end, your legacy will forever live on in the Mu Kappa Chapter. We have been lucky enough to watch both of you grow into exceptional leaders, inspiring women, and now college graduates. Thank you for having such an amazing impact on our chapter and in all of our lives. We wish you both the best in your future endeavors! 🎓
Be on the lookout for their individual spotlights to learn more about their plans after graduation👀

Recently, we bid a warm farewell to our five lovely Seniors. Their dedication to our Sisterhood has been invaluable. Watching their personal and professional growth while at WIU is inspirational. It has been an honor and joy to have known them throughout the years; “because we knew you, we have been changed for good.” While it’s sad and difficult to say ‘Goodbye,’ we take comfort in knowing your skills, talents, and zest for life will lead to great accomplishments in the real world.
We are so very proud of each of you. The Sisters of the Mu Kappa Chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota wish each of you the best and will hold you dear in our thoughts as the next chapter of your life begins.
