Alpha Sigma Theta is a a Sisterhood of Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and hearing woman who carry strong ties to the Deaf community and culture, founded to provide all members equal access to communication. Founded May 1987 at CSU, Northridge.
Alpha Sigma Theta was founded in 1987 here at California State University, Northridge. We have over twenty-five years of history at this school and are the only sorority on campus that uses American Sign Language (ASL) as our primary language. We are a group of Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and hearing woman who carry strong ties to the Deaf community and culture, founded to provide all members equal access to communication. We strive to spread awareness of this wonderful culture by immersing ourselves not only in the Deaf community and organizations on campus, but by our involvement and support outside of the CSUN Deaf community as well. We place high emphasis on academics and have been recognized for Outstanding GPA Average by the University multiple times in the past few years. We are also re-dedicating ourselves to philanthropy and working as a whole to give back to the community more than we ever have before. We have aligned ourselves with DeafHope, with the goal of raising awareness and funding for this wonderful organization that supports Deaf women and children who have experienced abuse who may not receive help otherwise due to communication barriers. We accomplish this by striving to be a place where our Sister can learn to be both strong leaders and strong women.
