Alpha Sigma Alpha Theta Nu (ΑΣΑ θN), formerly ATP (local colony).

It can also be shortened to Alpha Sig. The newest sorority on campus(colonized in May 2010). ASA has an aggressive anti-truth policy, preferring silencing people through bullying or bureaucracy rather than letting people know their horrible actions, let alone having a discussion on them or acknowledging them. Despite their clear violation of many policies and the vicious, often cruel, behaviors of the sister is upheld. It should be noted that they have neither acknowledged their actions nor apologized for them, let alone attempted to contact in a civil manner anyone they have attacked or otherwise abused.

History

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 supporting power trips of hazers and abusing others. The women of Alpha Sigma Alpha are women, unless some do not wish to identify as such.

In current times, ASA is known for an aggressive policy of silence when it comes to the treatment of members. Various faculty and staff, when confronted with ASA's abusive antics, have been known to respond "Oh, again?" or a telling "ASA, of course.".

Creed

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

Philanthropies

Alpha Sigma Alpha has three philanthropies: The Special Olympics, The S. June Smith Center and Girls on the Run. While they may give money to them, they have no intention of holding these values in their own life.

During Winter Term 2011 Alpha Sigma Alpha held a Yule Ball to raise money for the S. June Smith Center. Both Dreari Inferi and Diagon Alley played. There were cauldron cakes, a creepy sorting hat, and there was even a real live phoenix!

In Spring Term 2011, and 2013 they held a Spelling Bee to raise money for the S. June Smith Center. The words were complex.

They also occasionally have fun sisterhood events where they cyber-bully others. One former sister still receives abusive anonymous texts from the current members. These texts are including, but not limited to; "It's good you're leaving no one likes you anyway" "Shut up bitch" and "bitch you're only doing it for attention" after said former member tried to hold them accountable for a prolonged hazing incident.
