Philanthropy Activities:

The Alpha Eta Chapter hosts and attends many community service events, in order to promote scholarship, leadership, service, and fellowship.

Sisterhood Activities:

One of our annual sisterhood events is Thanksgiving Dinner. This of course only takes place in the Fall. We have made it an event for the MC's to put on during their MC Education. This helps the members to see who will be good candidates for offices in the following semester, and also lets us know which MC's are really dedicated to Sigma Alpha. It has taken place in many different locations including Milliard's Crossing and the Roller Skating Rink.

Other Sisterhood events include:

  • Formal
  • Road Trip to Kemah
  • Christmas Gift Exchange
