Cultivating Professional Women. Advancing Agriculture.
About Us
Welcome to our website! We are the Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We are a professional and social sorority created from a common love for agriculture. We strive for achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service by supporting our members and our community to overcome challenges and accomplish goals.
Our colors are Emerald and Maize. Our jewel is the Emerald. Our flower is the yellow chrysanthemum. Our national mascot is the baby bull and our local mascot is the honeybee.
