In 1978, a group of women from The Ohio State University decided they wanted more than the Greek system offered. Thus, Sigma Alpha sorority was born. Sigma Alpha is a professional and social sorority helping its members to grow in their love for agriculture. Though most of the sorority are apart of the College of Agriculture, anyone of any major can join the sisterhood.
When I was a freshman at LSU, I was interested in Greek life. However, I didn't know anything about it so I didn't rush the fall semester. Before I recently switched majors, I was an Animal Science major. I learned about Sigma Alpha sorority in one of my animal science classes and was immediately drawn to this organization. I rushed the spring semester of my freshman year. It was the best decision I have ever made. I grew close to the girls in my rush class as well as some of the active members. Here are a few reasons I love my sorority:
1. The Sisterhood.
Sigma Alpha is a smaller sorority which makes the girls in it more like a close family. I feel like I can go to any of my sisters for anything. I know they have my back and I have theirs. I felt apart of the family since the first day I rushed.
2. Agriculture.
Agriculture plays a very important part of our everyday lives. Agriculture is the food we eat and the clothes we wear. I've learned so much about agriculture through this sorority and have gained more appreciation for it. One of the events we hold each semester is called "Ag in the Classroom." We visit different schools in our area and teach them things about agriculture.
3. Friendships.
Through Sigma Alpha, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. Everyone in the sorority are sisters and friends.We have fun and love each other as sisters and friends. I wouldn't have some of the best friends I have today if it weren't for Sigma Alpha and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
4. My Big.
My big is one of my best friends. She helps me to be the best woman that I can be. I know that I can go to her for anything and everything and I don't know what I would do without her. After our big/little reveal, we connected instantly and I'm so grateful for that. I have the best big ever.
5. Our Crazy Love For Animals.
One of my favorite things about Sigma Alpha is how crazy everyone is about animals. I'm a cat lady and most, if not all, of my sisters are cat ladies as well which I absolutely love. We tend to bond over cute dogs and cats. Even our philanthropy has to do with animals. We volunteer a lot with Companion Animal Alliance. It's so much fun hanging out with the cats and dogs there.
