Our Story

Natonal History

National History

​

   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 80 chapters, comprised of undergraduate and alumnae members. Today, more than 9,900 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority. We're growing steadily as others in agriculture learn about us.

​

   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 Alumnae Association are affiliates of American Agri-Women and the Ohio Association of Nonprofit Organizations. We support Agriculture in the Classroom as our national service project.

​

   Sigma Alpha members will stand out as leaders on their campuses and in the workforce.

​

We are dedicated to the motto:

Cultivating Professional Women in Agriculture

We are also committed to each other as Sisters in Agriculture
