History[edit]

Alpha Sigma Alpha (ΑΣΑ) is a US national sorority founded on November 15, 1901 at Longwood College (now University) in Farmville, Virginia. In the fall of 1901 at Longwood College five women, having gone through the rushing and bidding of the campus sororities together, created a friendship. Instead of accepting the bids from the existing sororities the five founders decided to stay together and become sisters, their goal was to form a separate sorority. On November 15, 1901 that goal was accomplished when Alpha Sigma Alpha was named and chartered. The open motto of the sorority is "Aspire, Seek, Attain."

The national headquarters was permanently established in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1998. There are now over 145 chapters of Alpha Sigma Alpha nationwide with more than 100,000+ members. Alpha Sigma Alpha exists to promote high ideals and standards for its members throughout their lives by emphasizing balance among the aims of intellectual, physical, social and spiritual development. The women of Alpha Sigma Alpha are women of poise and purpose.

Alpha Sig, like many other Greek organizations, has families full of Bigs, Littles, and Twins. Their symbols are the Crown, the Palm, the Phoenix, and the Star. Their jewels are the Pearl and the Ruby, so you will often see them wearing those. They also have a very cute mascot--a ladybug named Dot!

Creed[edit]

To fill my days with satisfying activity,

To find dominant beauty in art, literature, nature, and friendships,

To know the peace and serenity of a divine faith,

To love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate good—

This is my creed in Alpha Sigma Alpha. -Wilma Wilson Sharp
