A Greek organization is a group of individuals with similar interests that are bonded together by common goals and aspirations. It is referred to as a Greek organization because the name of the organization consists of Greek letters.

There are many different benefits of Greek life that can enrich your life socially, culturally, AND professionally! Greek life enables you to be part of a close-knit community that reaches far past Stevens Institute of Technology and provides you with another family for life. The opportunities to network, take on leadership roles, develop social skills, and create priceless memories are limitless.

Sigma Psi Zeta is a membership of the Cultural Greek Council (CGC) here at Stevens. We are also a member of NAPA, which is the National APIDA Panhellenic Council, and they represent us and advocate within the fraternal and university communities.

No. Absolutely not. Sigma Psi Zeta has a strict non-hazing policy and hazing would also be in violation of many university policies. Our organization's national philanthropy is to combat violence against womxn and hazing would directly contradict this effort.

Yes, you have to be a current student at Stevens Institute of Technology to be eligible to join the Alpha Rho Chapter of Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc.

Sigma Psi Zeta is a nationally recogized sorority that can provide long-lasting syzterhood and friendship, as well as make a positive impact on our local communities. We are so excited to meet you, and we have many fun activities planned in order to get to know you better! We aim to empower womxn, both within and external to our sorority, and help us all strive to be stronger, more independent leaders. We hope we don't intimidate you, as we always try our best to be inviting and open about ourselves and our organization. Feel free to bring a friend to any of our events, or even reach out personally to any of our syzters!

No, Sigma Psi Zeta is a progressive, multicultural Greek organization and everyone is welcome! Many of our syzterships across the nation include syzters from a diverse range of racial and ethnic backgrounds who all agree with the core values of our syzterhood.

Anyone who identifies as a womxn. Even if you were not born female, if you identify as a womxn when you decide to join, you are welcome to this sorority!

There is no “typical” Sigma syzter. Syzterhood is not a mold for womxn to fit into. Nor does it make each syzter who they are. Each syzter contributes their talent, idealism, devotion and energies to the greater organization, giving our syzterhood the character it has today. We hope that each syzter will change our syzterhood, helping it to grow and evolve.

Recruitment is a period of time in which anyone can come ane meet with syzters and learn more about Sigma Psi Zeta through social events and activities. During this time, you will be able to ask any questions you ever had about Sigma Psi Zeta or sorority life in general. Recruitment is completely nonbinding. In other words, there is absolutely no pressure to commit to or join Sigmas. It’s completely free with no obligations at any time!

Nope. Just be on the lookout on our social media for details on our recruitment week and just show up whenever you're available!

No, it is not binding. You are not required to fulfill the recruitment week requirements if you show up to an event.

A bid is a formal invitation to join a Greek organization and is usually given at the end of the recruitment week.

In order to be eligible for a bid, you must attend (1) General Interest Meeting, at least (2) other recruitment events, and have a minimum 2.7 GPA.

Our recruitment weeks are held at the beginning of the Fall and Spring semesters, so keep an eye out on social media to see the exact dates of our upcoming recruitment week. Recruitment is open to everyone starting their second semester as a freshman! Even as a senior, don’t be hesitant to check us out!

Both the chapter (on the local level) and the national office collect dues and membership fees from every member. Most groups have a one-time new member and initiation fee plus reoccurring dues on a semester-by-semester basis. The majority of the dues collected is used to pay for national insurance, while the remainder is to cover operating expenses.

Yes! We can work with you to develop a payment plan.

Once you become an active member, you attend weekly chapter meetings and you usually hold a position, whether that is on our Executive Board, Board of Officers, or a Committee. Active members are the core of our chapter and they are the ones who fully plan and run our events. Being an active member is fun, exciting, and there is a lot of growth and bonding with our members!

We make academic success a priority for our members. We monitor GPAs both locally and nationally to ensure that members focus on their main goal of pursuing higher education: to learn. We have many members that consistently make their university’s Dean’s lists/honor rolls and whom also obtain their highest GPAs as members of Sigma Psi Zeta.

No. The Alpha Rho Chapter of Sigma Psi Zeta does not have a house.

Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc. does not have a brother fraternity. As a sorority that prizes strong, independent womxn, we have made a deliberate choice to remain unaffiliated with another Greek organization.
