The Robbie Page Memorial
(RPM) was established in 1951 following the death of Robbie Page,
the son of Tri Sigma's fourth National President, Mary Hastings
Holloway Page. His tragic death occurred at a time when there was no
cure or preventative for polio. This prompted Mary and her husband
Rob to establish a memorial fund for polio research. Tri Sigma
decided to help their National President by launching the Robbie
Page Memorial fund, and in 1954, Tri Sigma adopted RPM as their
National Philanthropy, beginning Sigma's long range programming in
support of recreational therapy for hospitalized children. At the
1974 National Convention, the sailboat became the official symbol of
Sigma Sigma Sigma and the Robbie Page Memorial. Tri Sigmas have a
sincere interest in service to others and an earnest desire to help.
For forty years, Sigmas have served children through the Robbie Page
Memorial. Because of Robbie Page, an important and lasting
contribution has been made to children everywhere. Sigmas can find
their reward in knowing that their efforts make children smile.
Tri Sigma sponsors two children's wings in the hospitals in Chapel
Hill, North Carolina and Dallas, Texas. Here at Presbyterian
College, the Epsilon Pi chapter of Sigma Sigma Sigma travels to
Chapel Hill each spring to deliver crafts made during recruitment
and to visit the children.
