Start a Collegiate Chapter
“One of our eight core values, GROWTH, promotes the continual development of our members, our chapters and our national organization.”
Are you considering growing your community by adding a new sorority to your campus? Congratulations! Extension is a very exciting process for you. There are many ways to start your own chapter on your campus:
If your college Panhellenic is in a position to add another organization
If you are from a campus that does not have national sororities
If you are part of a local sorority who wants to affiliate with a national sorority
Alpha Sigma Alpha policy on extension
Alpha Sigma Alpha welcomes questions regarding establishing new chapters. We believe in expanding our national organization and growing our membership. Alpha Sigma Alpha collaborates with universities and colleges to add new chapters of Alpha Sigma Alpha on their campus. Extension is pivotal to the growth and development of the national organization. When Alpha Sigma Alpha considers a campus for extension, different criteria is used to determine if a campus is a good match for the organization.
Start a New Chapter Through NPC
As a member of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), Alpha Sigma Alpha abides by policies set forth by NPC. These rules govern the extension process. The National Panhellenic Conference has an extension committee to assist colleges and universities with the process of starting new chapters.
Before a new sorority can come to a campus, proper authority must be granted. To learn more information about the extension process and who is the proper authority on your campus, please contact the NPC Extension Committee at npccentral@npcwomen.org or visit NPC extension website.
