Sigma Pi Alpha Sorority, Inc. (ΣΠΑ) is a Chicana/Latina-based, Greek letter, intercollegiate sorority founded in 1996 at the University of California, Berkeley.

The sorority is not part of the Greek Panhellenic System. They are a non-profit grassroots organization and do not affiliate with any National Fraternity and Sorority Councils. They are an established sisterhood governed by their own direct National Council.

The Greek letters were specifically selected by their 9 founding mothers to symbolize their Chicana/Latina heritage by spelling ELLA, meaning she/her in the Spanish language. Although Sigma Pi Alpha is a Chicana Latina organization by tradition, membership is open to all college females.

A sister of Sigma Pi Alpha is also known as an ELLA or a Sigma.

There is also the local sorority Sigma Pi Alpha that was founded in 1991 at Central Methodist University in Fayette, Missouri. This sorority is not Chicana/Latina based.

Purpose

The letters worn by sisters represent their sisterhood, their commitment to each other, and their goals. Sigma Pi Alpha Sorority, Inc. is a sisterhood of academic and personal support, trust, and understanding. Their top priority is to promote higher education in not just Latina woman but in their communities as a whole.

Goals

1. To enhance Chicana/Latina heritage within the

sorority.

2. To be involved within campus and our

communities.

3. To promote higher education in future

generations.

4. To address academics, sisterhood, and personal

and individual needs.

5. To create a sisterhood in which we can

communicate and express ourselves with trust and

security.

6. To form a sisterhood where we can receive

support and a commitment that will last a lifetime.

7. To follow a code of conduct representative to us as

a sorority and as Chicana/Latina women.
