Membership in Alpha Sigma
Alpha is an excellent way to learn to make the most
of opportunities. Since our founding in 1901, we have
attracted women who ASPIRE to career and personal achievement,
women who SEEK the most from life and from themselves,
women who ATTAIN levels of success beyond what they
may have thought possible. In fact, ASPIRE, SEEK, ATTAIN
is Alpha Sigma Alpha's open motto, and it sums up our
approach to life.
In 1901 at Longwood College
in Farmville, Virginia our five founders established
a "four-fold purpose" for their sisterhood, to provide
for the Intellectual, Physical, Social, and Spiritual
growth of all members. For example we encourage high
standards of academic accomplishment through a program
of awards and recognition. Since 1958, Alpha Sigma Alpha
has demonstrated a strong commitment to improving the
lives of those who are mentally challenged, through
our support of the Special Olympics and the S. June
Smith Center.
Locally, at Adrian College
our members are very diverse and are involved in many
organizations on campus including Student Government
Association, LINCS, varsity athletics, intramural athletics,
Mortar Board, Order of Omega, theater, and many academic
honoraries. We also participate in different community
service events including Rake-and-Run, the Humane Society,
the HOPE Center, a local elderly group home, Adopt-A-Road,
and a few others.
We are a very diverse
group of sisters with many different activities and
goals, but we are all united by a common bond - sisterhood.
