Sigma Alpha is a non-Panhellenic "Professional Agriculture Sorority" that promotes "Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Fellowship". The Lambda Chapter was established here at UCD in 1990.
Their national motto is "Cultivating Professional Women In Agriculture."
The sisters of Sigma Alpha represent a wide range of UC Davis majors including Animal Science, Plant Science, Viticulture & Enology, Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems, Wildlife Fish & Conservation Biology, and Food Science. You do not have to have an agriculture-related major to join.
They sometimes participate in events with Alpha Gamma Rho, as they are both agriculture oriented groups. They are however the only professional agriculture sorority on campus. Some members are also involved in Aggie Ambassadors, Block and Bridle, Draft Horse & Driving Club, TROTR, and the Vet Aides Club.
As a professional Sorority, potential members must meet many academic requirements, examples including
- Having over a 2.25 overall GPA
- Participating in at least one other Student Organization.
- Showing interest in agriculture.
Sigma Alpha Lambda Chapter holds two recruitments each year. More information can be found on their website.
