As a chapter, Alpha Sigma Tau is dedicated to inspiring our members to enrich their own lives while making a meaningful impact on others. We are committed to empowering women to excel academically, professionally, and personally. At Marist, Alpha Sigma Tau is a community of passionate, driven, and strong-willed women who celebrate one another's accomplishments and offer unwavering support. Our sisters stand up for each other, amplify one another's voices, and work together with unity and purpose. We value every opinion and thrive as a team built on respect and encouragement.
Our chapter currently has 96 active members, and we are excited to continue growing during this Recruitment season. Our philanthropy, the Women's Wellness Initiative, reflects our dedication to uplifting and celebrating women every day. We are especially passionate about supporting Girls Who Code and Dress for Success, two organizations that align closely with our mission of empowerment, education, and opportunity. Beyond these partnerships, we actively seek new ways to give back and proudly come together to support causes that matter to our members and our community.
Within our chapter, every voice matters. We encourage our members to share ideas, take initiative, and step into leadership roles. One of the ways we strengthen our bond is through our "Sisterhood" events, which include apple picking, yoga and pilates classes, and our favorite tradition, Mother's Day Brunch. These events create meaningful moments of connection and foster the close-knit community we value so deeply. We also host weekly "Sister Dates," where members grab coffee or lunch to build friendships that last far beyond college.
When you join Alpha Sigma Tau, you become part of a proud legacy of intelligent, confident women who embody our core values of excellence, intellect, graciousness, respect, and lifelong connection. More than just a sorority, we are a sisterhood committed to growth, empowerment, and supporting one another every step of the way.
