"Alpha Sigma Alpha is a women's organization that exists to promote high ideals and standards for its members throughout their lives by emphasizing balance among the four aims of intellectual, physical, spiritual and social development. Alpha Sigma Alpha provides structure and guidance through:

Sisterhood, which is a strong bond of unconditional friendship based on common values and experiences; Heritage, which is expressed through creed, ritual and history, Opportunities for leadership and involvement in chapter, campus and community."

"Live it, talk it, dream it, work for it. In no other way can you so effectively convince others of its beauty, its greatness and its power."

National Policy on Human Dignity
Alpha Sigma Alpha prohibits any policy or practice, which bars admission on the basis of race, color, creed, religion or national origin. The sorority supports the concept of equality and is committed to building a society where human judgments are based on merit, without regard to gender, race, religious preference or disability. Alpha Sigma Alpha firmly repudiates actions and statements that negate the concepts of self-respect, personal development, equality and dignity.

Alpha Sigma Alpha expects that:

1. Each member will decline to participate in any form of hazing.

2. Each member will decline to participate in activities degrading and demeaning to women, men or persons with disabilities.

3. Each member will decline to participate in degrading or demeaning activities based on religion or race.

4. Each chapter will educate its members about issues facing collegiate women such as substance abuse, sexual harassment, eating disorders, and AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases.

One of our founders, Louise Cox Carper, wrote, "The fundamental purpose of a sorority is to cultivate those qualities which will help its members meet more successfully the events of life. A sorority is the training ground for the cultivation of the act of living in harmony with other people."
