AASU Welcomes New Sororities

Savannah, GA—April 21, 2004—Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) announces the addition of two new sororities—Alpha Sigma Tau and Sigma Sigma Sigma—to its campus. The new sororities are members of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), an organization that governs 26 national sororities.

Alpha Sigma Tau, founded at Michigan State Normal College in 1889 by eight women, is dedicated to the progress of mankind as well as social service. The third oldest educational sorority in the nation, Alpha Sigma Tau’s numbers continue to increase and are now well into the thousands.

Sigma Sigma Sigma, founded at Virginia’s State Female Normal School in 1898, encourages its members to form bonds of friendship between other women and promotes high standards of conduct. Starting with just eight members, their numbers have now grown to over 80,000.
