Welcome to the Online Home of Sigma Alpha at UMD!

Sigma Alpha is a professional agricultural sorority that promotes scholarship, leadership, service and fellowship among its members. The sorority was founded in 1978 at Ohio State University by five women who wanted an alternative to the social Greek sorority system. Since that time, Sigma Alpha has become a national organization consisting of more than 80 chapters. The beta alpha chapter was started at the University of Maryland, College Park in 2003. We recruit new girls each semester. If you are interested in becoming a Sigma Alpha, follow the link for prospective sisters to learn more!
