Stages of Education

New Members

Alpha Sigma Alpha new member education occurs through in-person meetings, online reflection and ritual services. New members focus on learning about Alpha Sigma Alpha in a flexible education program that prioritizes building relationships during in-person, face-to-face learning opportunities.

Initiated Members

Initiated members explore the significance of Alpha Sigma Alpha’s core values. To assist in member’s personal development, the chapter is required to complete a core value program for each core value over two academic years. These programs are intended to be enjoyable, educational and most of all a time for sisters to grow together.

Senior Members

Senior member education focuses on development through their final academic year of collegiate membership by concentrating on topics that will help in the transition out of college. It is designed to help each senior find a way to use her purpose to impact her community.

Alumnae Members

Alumnae members continue to recieve educational tools from Alpha Sigma Alpha through webinars, blogs, regular emails and attending national and region events.

Big Sister Certification

Any initiated collegiate member who wishes to be considered as a big sister must complete the online big sister certification. This program is created to prepare big sisters to serve as mentors, role models and friends to the newest members in Alpha Sigma Alpha. Members who complete the certification are eligible to serve as a big sister for the entire academic year.
