While some people may believe that joining a sorority will harm your grades, the opposite is actually the case. Many sorority sisters assist each other in their studies. Older sisters can advise younger sisters and help them with classes they have already taken. Sisters are motivated to do well in school not only by their own personal goals, but also by sorority encouragement and awards. Sigma Alpha Zeta places great concern on academic performance and provides a positive environment that encourages strong study habits.
Community Service
Volunteering is at the heart of Sigma Alpha Zeta's activities. We are always looking for ways to help other individuals, our communities, and our country. There are volunteer opportunities for everyone, including hosting activities that benefit youth, the elderly, and the environment. In 2000, Sigma Alpha Zeta adopted the fight against Domestic Violence as its official national philanthropy. Since then, we have demonstrated a strong commitment to issues surrounding domestic violence and the rights of abused women and children. Additionally, we strongly support our fellow Greeks and other organizations in their philanthropic efforts, and often join them in their events on campus and in the community. Participation in community service builds character through the realization of the needs of others. In terms of career growth, many service activities provide students with the opportunity to explore possible careers, experience the "real-world" of their chosen career field, develop professional skills and contacts, build their resume, and put into practice the information they have learned in academic settings.
Sisterhood
Sigma Alpha Zeta has always thrived on its outstanding sisterhood. This has been the cornerstone of our sorority ever since it's founding in 1992. Because of the variety of things you do together, sisters get to know each other really well and on many levels. The close-knit bonds that develop here are truly remarkable. Sigma Sisters form an unbreakable bond that starts the day they choose to pledge and carry it on throughout their lives. We are there for each other, in times of great jubilation and deep sorrow. We are proud and honored to share these times with our sisters, and our loyalty to our sorority will never waiver. Being a member of Sigma Alpha Zeta means knowing that no matter where you go or what you do, you will have the support of your sisters. Sigma Alpha Zeta is about friendships that last a lifetime.
