Foundation News

Our Foundation has just celebrated its 20th birthday during this year's National Convention. At convention, Angelea Dantzler Bauldee sent out a challenge to generate additional support for the foundation. The challenge was called "The Coffee Cup Challenge". The average cup of coffee is $5.99, so if you skipped one cup of coffee and pledged that price to ASA that would be a gift of $300. That would help support our sorority and it's valuable programs.

For more information about pledging, contact Stacey Johnson 317-871-2920, or sjohnson@alphasigmaalpha.org.

There has been sorority life at Harvard for about 9 years. They have 3 chapters: Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Gamma, and Kappa Alpha Theta. THey have enough interest to bring in another sorority next year, and are looking for advisors to bring structure, set goals, and guidance.
