| − | == History ==
| |
| − | [http://www.alphasigmaalpha.org/ 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."
