Organization Facts

Sigma Alpha is a professional agricultural sorority that promotes scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship among its members. 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 more than 50 chapters. Since our founding, more than 2,200 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority! We're growing steadily as other women in agriculture learn about us. Sigma Alpha is a member of the Professional Fraternity Association (PFA), a national organization of professional fraternities and sororities. Both Sigma Alpha Sorority and the Sigma Alpha Alumni Association are affiliates of American Agri-Women.

Chapter Facts

The members of the University of Illinois SID (Sorority-In-Development) worked toward their activation for more than a year, doing numerous service projects and professional development activities. On January 28-30, 2000, the women worked closely with National Board member Jennifer Maurer, and on January 29, 2000, the eighteen women were formally activated as the charter members of the Alpha Mu chapter. Since that time, the members have initiated nine membership classes, and the Alpha Mu chapter now boasts 38 members! Members have completed a large number of activities on campus and are looking forward to making a big impact on campus in the future.
