In 1901, five women came together to create a sorority. These women all attended Longwood University in Farmville, VA. These women worked together to form Alpha Sigma Alpha. Alpha Sigma Alpha is a social sorority and is dedicated to developing women of poise and purpose. The organization offers an experience of fun campus activities to a lifetime of community impact. We inspire women to lead, to serve, and most of all, make a difference. Alpha Sigma Alpha has over 175 chapters nationwide and more than 120,000 members. Our philanthropies are Special Olympics, Girls on the Run, and the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation!

The sorority was founded in 1978 at the Ohio State University by five women who wanted an alternative to the social Greek sorority system. Since that time, Sigma Alpha has become a national organization consisting of more than 80 chapters, comprised of undergraduate and alumnae members. Today, more than 19,000 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority. We’re growing steadily as others in agriculture learn about us.
