Sigma Psi Zeta
LEAD FROM THE FRONT
Sigma Psi Zeta is a progressive multicultural, Asian-Interest Greek organization that provides a means to success and support for womxn, particularly womxn of color. The sorority builds on the unity of strong and independent leaders to affect change in our organization, our members, our universities, and local communities.
Sigma Psi Zeta was founded on March 23, 1994 and incorporated on March 15, 1996. We are recognized under the laws of the State of New York. |
When our Sorority first began, our 10 Founders came together to establish an organization that would better their university and community. These womxn united together to create a lasting entity. The Ten Rays of SYZterhood, like the Ten Founders, form the basis for our sorority. They are the characteristics all SYZters work to best exemplify.
As our SYZterhood grows and evolves, Sigma Psi Zeta's National Board continually develops initiatives that will encourage our SYZters to succeed, while still remaining connected to the history and vision of the sorority. With this in mind, the Ten Rays of SYZterhood link the natural progression of the organization to the spirit with which the sorority was first envisioned in the Fall of 1993. |
