ABOUT US
Sigma Alpha is a nationally recognized professional sorority for women interested in agriculture and life sciences. This organization is founded on the pillars of scholarship, leadership, fellowship, and service.
​
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 nearly 100 chapters comprised of collegiate or alumnae members. Today, more than 17,000 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority.
