Alpha Sigma Alpha was founded in 1901 at
Longwood College in Farmville, Virginia. There were five women who founded Alpha
Sigma Alpha: Calva Watson Wooton, Virginia Boyd Noell, Louise Cox Carper, Mary Williamson
Hundley, and Juliette Hundly Gilliam. Together these five women gave the sorority
four aims: Social, Spiritual, Intellectual, and Physical.

The Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha
To fill my days with
satisfying activity,
To find dominant
beauty in art, literature, nature, and friendships,
To know the peace
and serenity of a divine faith,
To love life and
joyously live each day to its ultimate good—
This is my creed
in Alpha Sigma Alpha.
-Wilma Wilson Sharp, 1932
