Alpha Sigma Tau

Epsilon Eta Colony

Alpha Sigma Tau is excited to begin the colonization of the Epsilon Eta Colony

Founded over a century ago by eight like-minded women, the Founders of Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority had a vision for the future.  These eight daring young women formed an all women’s society whose purpose was to promote the ethical, cultural and social development of its members.  Alpha Sigma Tau provided opportunity and direction to collegiate women that previously had not existed.

Today, the ideals of Alpha Sigma Tau stand firm.  The Sorority continues to prepare its members for leading roles in society by developing them with programs focuses on:

Joining Alpha Sigma Tau is a lifetime commitment to the bonds of sisterhood. Alpha Sigma Tau seeks women with sincerity, personality open-mindedness and a willingness to learn and grow. Alpha Sigma Tau is looking for members who will create rather than just carry on and take part rather than watch while remaining dedicated to achieving their dreams.

Alpha Sigma Tau offers you the sisterhood of a lifetime through our sacred ritual and sisterhood activities.  Alpha Sigma Tau is more than an organization, it is an everlasting sisterhood.
