As members, we commit ourselves to the values of Alpha Sigma Tau each day. 

Anchored for Life. Paying annual dues anchors alumnae to the greater alumnae organization. Anchored for Life is not just a theme or a motto; it is a mission. 

Faithfulness to These Ideals. The Creed serves as a reminder to remain faithful to the ideals alumnae promised to uphold during the Initiation Ritual. Alumnae continue to share in the financial responsibility to ensure the success of the Sorority and all of its members.

Think on These Things. Did you know that if the annual dues payment was broken down over a year the amount would be just $3.33 per month? That's less than a gallon of gasoline!

Alumnae are able to make annual dues payments through their alumnae chapters/associations, by paying online or through the mail with a check. 

Being an alumna of Alpha Sigma Tau can offer friendship, networking, professional development, and personal enrichment. Membership offers the opportunity to develop leadership skills, participate in community service projects, and support collegiate members. Dues payments make a difference in what can be offered to the membership. More specifically alumnae dues help support the following:

• Sorority publications such as THE CREST and THE ANCHOR;
• Increased support to collegiate chapters from Educational Consultants, District Coordinators, and other highly skilled volunteers as well as headquarters staff;
• Membership development programming to assist collegiate women in being exceptional students, leaders, and community members; and
• High-level programming for national events

Alpha Sigma Tau needs the support of its alumnae members across the world.  Alumnae dues payment funds important collegiate and alumnae services as well as overall Sorority operations.  Please consider making an annual dues payment today!

For your convenience, alumnae dues can be paid via mail or online.

Why isn’t my gift tax-deductible?

Though your gift to the Legacy of 1899 Fund, the Educational Set-Aside Fund and the NPC Leadership Reserve Fund are considered donations and immediately impact the Sorority’s outcomes and objectives, the Sorority is a 501c7 corporation and gifts to such organizations are not considered deductible by law.

How do I go about making a tax-deductible gift to the Sorority?

If you are interested in a tax-deductible gift to the Sorority, please consider a gift to the Alpha Sigma Tau Foundation. Your gift may be directed to support a chapter scholarship fund, national scholarship funds, or impact the Sorority’s programming directly with a gift to the Endowed Education Fund.
