If your chapter has a charter that was issued prior to the year 2000 that you would like to contribute to the gallery, please upload a high-resolution photo (gif or jpg file) in the following shared folder:

Chapters are asked to UPLOAD IN THE AFOREMENTIONED SHARED FOLDER Sigma Delta Pi historical content for possible inclusion in the Museo Virtual (electronic submissions only):
· Staged Photos (may include works of Sigma Delta Pi-related art: drawings, paintings, etc.). All photos must include a brief caption (50 words or less) with chapter name and description; for photos of events (initiation ceremonies will not be considered): also include date(s). Photos of poor quality or inadequate resolution cannot be considered.
· Short Videos
· Poems
· Music (audio files)
· Other (this list is not exhaustive as we expect creative chapters may have unique, relevant ideas for exhibits)
Large files should NOT be sent as attachments, but rather as links to the file(s) in cloud storage (e.g.: GoogleDrive, OneDrive, Dropbox). All submissions should be sent either by an official chapter adviser or student officers, and will be reviewed by Sigma Delta Pi’s Executive Committee for possible inclusion in the Museo Virtual. Outstanding submissions that are approved for inclusion in the museum will be eligible for the Frida Kahlo Award, to be presented during National Charter Month in November 2022.
Submissions accepted all year by uploading items at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t3suWNYFzhcDKGd_3OeG_1DmcB4trJ00?usp=sharing, but to qualify for the 2022 Frida Kahlo Award, submissions must be received by October 31.
