Ok, I got it

Sigma Sigma Sigma was founded at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia. Our eight founders, Margaret Batten, Louise Davis, Martha Featherston, Isabella Merrick, Sallie Michie, Lelia Scott, Elizabeth Watkins, and Lucy Wright, formed a special friendship at the Virginia's State Female Normal School at Farmville. They announced the founding of Sigma Sigma Sigma on April 20, 1898.

The early Sigmas saw the need for both legal recognition as a social body and a written record of organization, thus they filed documents with the Commonwealth of Virginia and Sigma Sigma Sigma received its Charter of Incorporation on February 12, 1903. Tri-Sigma's first constitution was adopted by the Alpha Chapter in April 1903.

Giant steps were taken in Sigma's first decade with the establishment of additional collegiate chapters and the meetings of the entire membership at conventions. The national nature of Tri-Sigma was established with the publication of the Triangle, the creation of a program to celebrate Founders' Day.

The circle of friendship that began in the 1890's, with eight women sharing common experiences, now encompasses more than 80,000 women representing the diversity found on the college campuses of today. The growth and change that occurred in the many decades to follow always stayed true to the ideals of friendship espoused by the Founders.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro was one of the three campuses making up the original consolidated University of North Carolina charter. In Fall 2003, the members of Sigma Sigma Sigma moved into Coit Hall along with two other sororities on the UNCG campus. The five sororities have now moved into Coit and Jamison Halls.
