These women founded the sorority on the value of sisterhood. In November of 2001, we celebrated our 100-year centennial of making a difference throughout the country. Members will find a lifetime of opportunities to stay involved and active, as membership offers a wide variety of occasions to make a difference through leadership. As members of Alpha Sigma Alpha, our commitment to improving our communities does not end with college. In fact, that is often just the beginning of a lifetime of rewarding involvement with ΑΣΑ events and philanthropy.
