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 6,000 members have been initiated into Sigma Alpha Sorority. We're growing steadily as others in agriculture learn about us.
The Zeta chapter was founded at LSU in 1989 and continues to thrive as an active part of Panhellenic Council and the Agricultural Student Association. In 2003, the chapter chartered a house on campus becoming the first and only Sigma Alpha chapter to own a house.
