The UP Sigma Alpha Sorority was founded in 1964 as an attempt “to prove that it was possible to have a sorority that took the high road; to provide young women at the UP a ‘sisterhood’ that offered experiences beyond socials and fun, a sisterhood that also enjoined its members to excel academically and become socially responsible” without subjecting its neophytes to any demeaning physical initiations.
Changing things for the better – this is what guides the sorority in most of its undertakings within the university. The sorority has always sought to put its best foot forward in seeking to bring about change, in upholding the dignity of individuals, recognizing their talents, pursuing academic excellence and demonstrating salience in action every step of the way.
