OUR
NATIONAL HISTORY
In the fall of 1993, ten undergraduate women at the University at Albany came together as friends after recognizing the disadvantages of being "The Silent Minority". Our Founding Mothers observed that of the existing Greek Letter organizations already established at the university, none were able to provide the kind of community they sought - an organization that could nurture the bonds of sisterhood while focusing on a newly emerging multicultural population. They aimed to create an organization that encompassed the strength of today's Asian-American woman and her potential for making an impact on the world around her.
Sigma Psi Zeta was formally established on March 23, 1994 at University at Albany, State University of New York. We have become a sorority that celebrates the foundational things we have in common, as well as our unique cultural backgrounds and individual experiences.
Our philanthropic activities increase our understanding of the timeless struggles faced by women of color everywhere. We continue to pursue the end of violence against women in all of its forms - particularly within communities of color.
