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 nearly 100 chapters comprised of collegiate or alumnae members. Today, more than 20,000 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority. We’re growing steadily as others in agriculture learn about us.
The objective of Sigma Alpha is to promote its members in all facets of agriculture and to strengthen the bonds of friendship among them. It is the purpose of its members to strive for achievement in scholarship, leadership and service and to promote excellence in women pursuing careers in agriculture.
