Definition of Alpha Sigma Kappa - Women in Technical Studies
Our name is more than Greek letters. "Women in Technical Studies" was kept as part of the name to insure that we remember that our purpose is dual. "Alpha Sigma Kappa" represents our social side, while "Women in Technical Studies" recognizes our goal of academic achievement.
Our sorority is made up of women who are engineers and scientists. Women have an ever growing presence in these fields, but being a minority in undergraduate classes can be challenging. These challenges even extend to the role of professional women in meetings, work assignments, and promotions.
Why is Alpha Sigma Kappa different?
Alpha Sigma Kappa is unique because it is a social sorority for technical majors. Our members are young women who place importance on academics but also have a lot of fun. We accept women in Engineering, Architecture and the Sciences (including, but not limited, to Math, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science).
Our Greek letters represent the social aspect of our sorority. Throughout the year, a variety of activities are planned. We also include quarterly philanthropy events on our calendar and provide many fun opportunities for our members without the high costs normally associated with social organizations.
Our purpose is to promote friendship,

Our formal name, Women in Technical Studies, represents our focus on academics and learning. Many members of our organization have classes together, and we are always available for each other as a support group. Support is essential while pursuing a degree in engineering, mathematics, or any other technical major because we all meet the same large challenges.
We encourage friendship - between you and your fellow sisters, fellowship - helping others, and commitment - to yourself and the organization.
