Organization Information:

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 alumni 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.

Philanthropy:

Our national philanthropy is Ag in the Classroom. The goal of this philanthropy is to educate school-age children about agriculture and how it affects them in everyday life. We host an annual fundraiser for this cause called Pasta Bingo and dedicate a portion of our service hours to the Agriculture in the Classroom headquarters here at Oregon State.
