Alpha Sigma Alpha Celebrates 108
Years of Sisterhood and Heritage!

This year marks the 108th anniversary of the founding of
Alpha Sigma Alpha women's sorority. Founder's Day - the
celebration and remembrance of this occasion - is celebrated
by each chapter, both collegiate and alumnae.

Chicago West celebrated this joyous occasion with a special
celebration at the home of one of our members. Marking this
occasion Chapter President Karol motivated the membership
by reminding that 'in 1901 women did not even have the right
to vote, so it is especially significant that women came
together in support of common values and ideas to form this
sorority'.

Alpha Sigma Alpha National President Cindy Kelley, in her
Founders' Day message, challenges the women of Alpha
Sigma Alpha to "honor those who have come before us [and]
celebrate those individuals who have inspired us and
strengthened our own experiences in Alpha Sigma Alpha" by
reconnecting with a chapter sister, an advisor, or a sister.

Especially at this time of year, but really every, day we are
reminded of the purpose and mission of the sorority by the
words of the Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha:

To fill my days with satisfying activity,
To find dominant beauty in art, literature, nature and
friendships,
To know the peace and serenity of a divine faith,
To love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate good -
This is my creed in Alpha Sigma Alpha.

- Wilma Wilson Sharp
