Sigma Alpha

Alpha Kappa Chapter at the University of Delaware

About Us

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 60 collegiate chapters and 32 alumni chapters. Today, more than 11,000 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority.

 

Sigma Alpha is a member of the Professional Fraternity Association, a national organization of professional Greek letter organizations and The Consortium of Collegiate Agricultural Organizations. Both Sigma Alpha Sorority and the Sigma Alpha Alumni Association are affiliates of American Agri-Women and the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations. We support Ag in the Classroom as our national service project. You'll find Sigma Alpha members standing out as leaders on their campuses and in the workforce. We are dedicated to the motto: Women Excelling in Agriculture.

 

In 1999, the Alpha Kappa Chapter of Sigma Alpha was established at the University of Delaware by fifteen Charter members. We have 39 activated classes.
