We hold ourselves and our sisters to high academic standards.

We are so proud of what yesterday's sisters have accomplished and can't wait to see what our collegiate members do in the future. But setting goals is only the first step in the right direction. As collegiate women, we take pride in our studies. From Event Planning to Chemistry, our Sigma sisters are ready to take the world by storm. Therefore, we require each sister to complete study hours throughout the semester, as well as hold a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher in order to continue to hold membership.

Each semester we offer opportunities to complete those study hours, such as study sessions in the library or study buddies to help hold you accountable. We also partner with various resources on campus like tutoring or peer mentors whenever we need extra help.

Incentives motivate us to be better!


With the help of our national headquarters, we are proud to provide incentives such as opportunities for scholarships or prizes to the sister with the highest GPA or a perfect 4.0 for more than two semesters.

Individual sisters who achieve a 4.0 for two consecutive semesters are rewarded with a sterling silver Coat of Arms Scholarship Ring.
