About Our Organization

As a Chapter, Alpha Sigma Tau is dedicated to inspiring members to enrich their own lives and the lives of others, as well as empowering women to excel in life. Here at Marist, Alpha Sigma Tau consists of a group of passionate, strong-willed women who recognize each other’s accomplishments and offer their continuous support to one another. Our girls stand up for one
another, and they make sure their voices are always heard. They value each other's opinions and work seamlessly as a team.

Currently, our sorority consists of 72 active members, in which we
look forward to expanding this Recruitment season! Our philanthropy is the Women's Wellness Initiative, which means we are devoted to empowering and celebrating all women today and every day! Alpha Sigma Tau at Marist is very focused on fundraising and being involved with the community. We cater most of our fundraising events to two main organizations: Girls Who Code and Dress for Success. However, we are always looking for new opportunities to participate in fundraising and enjoy coming together to support causes that we all feel passionate about.

We value all of our members’ input and ideas and encourage all to speak up. Within our chapter, we host many events which we call "Sisterhood" events. These include activities like apple picking,
yoga, spin classes, trunk shows and "Tausgiving." Sisterhood events are great bonding experiences for all our members and we strongly value establishing a close knit community. Other bonding opportunities include weekly “Sister Dates,” where we go to lunch or get coffee to get to know all the girls in the sorority. When becoming a member of Alpha Sigma Tau, you are joining
a proud legacy of smart, confident women who embody the sorority's core values of excellence, intellect, graciousness, respect, and connections.

Meeting Times

Chapter Business Meetings are held every Monday evening at 9:30 pm. Meeting locations could vary each week, but we typically meet in the Cabaret or Donnelly 225. During Chapter meetings, each Executive Officer will usually present a report and communicate any announcements regarding upcoming events, possible fundraising opportunities and other important information.
