Many people automatically dismiss the idea of a "Christian sorority" as a contradiction in terms. When Sigma Alpha Omega was founded at N.C. State in the spring of 1998, we set out to prove just how aptly those words could fit together...
In the language of the New Testament, the word "sorority" means "sisterhood." Jesus Himself was the One who first introduced us to the idea that all Christians are of one family (Matthew 12:50). It, therefore, naturally follows that God created Christian women to be sisters to one another.
Our fellowship in Sigma Alpha Omega is grounded first in Christ, and second in sisterhood. We seek to encourage one another to grow in love through life in Christ.
Some of the ways in which we fellowship include Bible studies, social activities, retreats, and service projects. Sigma Alpha Omega is a great way to get involved and enjoy college life while remaining true to your identity as a child of God.
Our activities do not involve alcohol, for we do not want anything to interfere with our ability to fellowship with the Savior. Along the same lines, we do not participate in any form of hazing; instead, we strive to treat our pledges with the respect and consideration due to them as priceless women for whom Jesus gave His life.
