Chapter Facts:Alpha Sigma Alpha is a women's organization that exists to promote high ideals and standards for its members throughout their lives by emphasizing balance among the four aims of intellectual, physical, spiritual and social development. Alpha Sigma Slpha provides structure and guidance through: sisterhood, which is a strong bond of unconditional friendship based on common values and experiences; heritage, which is expressed through creed, ritual, and history; and opportunities for leadership and involvement in the chapter, campus, and community. Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded on November 15, 1901 at Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia. Today, Alpha Sigma Alpha is a national sorority with over 73 chapters nation wide. The women of Alpha Sigma Alpha are involved in many campus clubs, sports and organizations, and often hold roles of great leadership. Alpha Sigma Alpha holds academics as top priority, and is proud to be a leader in the Greek community for academics. The Theta Alpha chapter at Coe College was founded in 2001.
