Alpha Sigma Pi holds two parties a year, the Winter Formal in December and the Seventies Party in the spring. The sisters also co-sponsor two blood drives a year with the help of the American Red Cross.

Sigma Alpha Fraternity

“Spirit healthy, body healthy” is a concept that was revered by the Ancient Greeks. Today, Sigma Alpha strives to embody this philosophy for every member of the Fraternity. We want each individual who joins Sigma Alpha Fraternity to become a “Balanced Man”.

A Balanced Man is not average or mediocre. He is one who excels in every facet of life. He is a leader, committed to helping others and guiding the way to a better world. He is a scholar, who recognizes the importance of academic excellence for success. He is an athlete who understands that physical activity develops a man’s potential. And finally, a Balanced Man is a gentleman, who has concern and care for others, whether in an academic or social setting. If you are interested in the Balanced Man concept – “Spirit Healthy, Body Healthy” – you should get to know Sigma Alpha.
