Jmu tri sigma11/4/2023 The members of Tri Sigma also write letters to congress to pass the FREED act to make insurance companies cover eating disorders. Two speakers also come to Grafton to speak to the JMU community about not only eating disorders but also being healthy in order to excel in school. Members of Tri Sigma simply stop people on campus and hope to leave a lasting impression on them about just being aware that they are beautiful and that they do matter. They also have people write negative thoughts about their body and then instruct participants to put that thought in a trash can explaining that fat talk is trash can talk. Tri Sigma also partners with the JMU health center to have tables in warren and festival six times throughout the month of February and give out mirrors and stickers that say “Smile You’re beautiful”. The Leslie George Memorial Fund for Eating Disorder Awareness started in 2000 in honor of Leslie George, a former JMU Tri Sigma who passed away due to complications from an eating disorder. Each member, spends the month of February posting on social media bringing awareness to eating disorders and promoting positive body image. Through their cause entitled Leslie George Eating Disorder Awareness Month, they empower women apart of their sorority and across campus to learn to love themselves and recognize that they are beautiful inside and out in honor of the late Leslie George. February is National Eating Disorder Awareness Month and at James Madison University Tri Sigma does a lot more than raise awareness. Here at JMU, it is no different with such an active student body that wants to create change and make a difference across campus. Every fraternity and sorority has a philanthropy and /or brotherhood or sisterhood event in which they raise awareness about throughout the school year.
