About Us

Sigma Alpha is LSU's only professional and social sorority. Sigma Alpha was founded in 1978 at the Ohio State University to promote women in agriculture but members of any major and background are welcome. Like other sororities, Sigma Alpha embraces service in the community with two philanthropies. Our national philanthropy is Ag in the Community, which aims to help students gain a greater awareness of the role of agriculture in the economy and society. The Zeta chapter's local philanthropy is Companion Animal Alliance. We support the shelter by volunteering time with the animals as well as raising funds through an annual philanthropy event. Sigma Alpha strives for achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service and offers a wonderful opportunity to make lifelong friendships. Because of our unique organization, we hold recruitment separately from PHC Formal Recruitment. Please visit our social media and website to learn more about our recruitment events.
