HOW HAS ALPHA SIGMA TAU HELPED YOU SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY?

I just completed my master’s program at the University of Arkansas! I greatly benefited from my Sorority experience as I applied lessons learned and my emotional intelligence knowledge from the AΣΤ Excel program to build stronger connections and become a better student and instructor. As I begin my job search, I feel supported by other alumnae as I am able to ask questions about career paths, gain interview tips and experience, and ultimately network with other Sisters in my industry.

Deceased

I’m a Legacy Society member because I hold Alpha Sigma Tau close to my heart. When I found AΣT in college, I found a home full of Sisters. These women demonstrated honesty, support, loyalty, friendship, and love. These were qualities that I wanted in my life, and these women were offering that. My Sister experience did not end at Emporia State University. After serving at the national level, I have Sisters across the nation as lifelong friends. I want the new generation of Sisters to have these same opportunities.
