It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved sister, Camryn Rae Resnick.

Cammy began her SigDelt journey as a freshman, helping Beta Chi recolonize at The University of Kansas. Her energy and positive spirit launched her into a number of leadership roles, serving on committees and advisory groups, most notably her exceptional work done as the Vice President of Social Affairs on the chapter Executive Board. She made a point to act as a leader and positive role model to her sisters, encouraging others to put themselves out there, try new things, and not take life too seriously. She helped coordinate a number of events, from volleyball, to sisterhood events, to date dashes and formals, including a semi-formal at The College Basketball Hall of Fame (the coolest!! venue!! ever!!).

She may have held the record for most SigDelt tees, and knew how to make anyone who walked into the room feel welcome. She exemplified everything a Beta Chi woman should be, living a life full of light, laughter, and love. Cammy graduated in May 2020 with a degree Applied Behavioral Science with a speciality in Youth Development and Juvenile Justice, with minors in Psychology and Journalism. Following graduation, she moved to Denver, CO to work as a Behavioral Therapist and continue to spread joy to those around her.

Sisters remember Cammy as truly one of a kind, and an example of what Sigma Delta Tau stands for - one hope of many people. As we grieve, we remember the many ways Cammy touched our sisterhood.

She was the comic relief we all needed, the personality that we all craved, and the compassion that touched us all. Her kindness was infectious, making an impact on every person she came in contact with. Cammy would be there for you no matter if you talked everyday or once a year. Her Neshoma shined brighter than the sun. We’ll miss how she always made everyone she met feel loved and supported through every obstacle in life.

The world didn’t deserve Cammy Resnick, but we were so lucky to have her in our lives.

May her memory be a blessing. Rest In Peace, sister. 💙💛💙

Even though we are no longer on campus, the sisters of Sigma Delta Tau Beta Chi Chapter feel that it is important to use our voices to stand with our community and support Black Lives Matter. We are raising money for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which “is America’s premier legal organization fighting for racial justice. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans.”
The sisters of the Beta Chi chapter are disappointed by the lack of awareness and support for this movement by the national organization, and we want to use our strong and diverse voices to advocate for equality. “One Hope of Many People” cannot just be a motto that we say and put on t-shirts; it must be a practice. Our organization was founded on the basis of anti-discrimination and equality, and prides itself on being diverse and inclusive. We must also put these values into practice, and not just use them when it suits our needs.
Beta Chi has decided to take this stand as an individual chapter to fight for what we believe in, use our voices for good, and take a stand against hatred, violence, and racism.

“Being a founder of a Beta Chi helped me navigate a lot of different parts of this University. I’ll always be thankful for the friendships, memories, and sisterhood I gained through SDT. This summer I will be continuing work in the healthcare field and doing research. While medicine is my ultimate goal, I will continue advocacy for equitable healthcare in different manners as well. The constant support I’ve received from my sisters doesn’t go unrecognized, and I’ll always be rooting for all of you! Rock Chalk and SDLAM💛💙”
