Alpha Sigma Tau strives to help each member develop and unfold her true potential as an individual and as a member of a national network of diverse women.

The Colonization Process

Alpha Sigma Tau has a dynamic colonization program. Each colony is provided with a support system which will result in strong chapters. Trained officers provide members with guidance from colonization through chapter installation and the future. All colonies are assisted through this process by a Colony Adviser, an Educational Consultant, local collegians and alumnae, and trained local advisers and consultants. All collegiate chapters are regularly visited and assisted by a Collegiate Leadership Consultant, District Presidents, Regional Collegiate Coordinators and trained local chapter advisers, assistant advisers, and consultants.

Extension Possibilities

Extension refers to the exciting process of chartering a collegiate chapter. Alpha Sigma Tau receives inquiries about extension from university Panhellenic associations, local sororities seeking national affiliation, and individual students and alumnae. Each inquiry is researched thoroughly and presented to the National Council, with consideration given to the following criteria:

• Academic reputation of the school
• Stable or increasing school enrollment
• Interest in Greek life on campus
• Support and interest on the part of local alumnae and local chapters
• Support from the campus administration and/or college Panhellenic support for a new chapter

A new chapter needs national support and guidance to provide a quality experience for its members and ensure that the chapter is a strong and contributing part of the campus community. Significant time, money, and effort are given by the national organization and local alumnae to build a strong foundation for a new chapter.
