FROM THE EDITOR

Dear readers,

Invigorated is the word that comes to mind as I reflect on my experience attending Alpha Sigma Alpha’s 52nd National Convention & Leadership Conference in Baltimore this past summer. Seeing sisters reunited after four long years apart to celebrate sisterhood, focus on personal and professional growth and champion the future of Alpha Sigma Alpha filled my cup and left me truly excited for the future of our beloved Sorority.

After attending my first national convention & leadership conference as a collegian in 2018, I didn’t think I could be more in awe of the scale and power of Alpha Sigma Alpha’s membership. However, witnessing the passion from collegians, shared wisdom from alumnae and celebration of chapter and individual award winners this summer proved me wrong. The women of our organization continue to remind me of a quote by Ida Shaw Martin written for the Phoenix in 1916: “You are a member of a strong sorority…Live it, talk it, dream it, work for it.” On every level and in so many ways, members of the Sorority are dreaming and working for its future.

As we settle into fall and near 121 years since Alpha Sigma Alpha’s founding, I encourage you to think about how you can live, talk, dream and work for our future in your everyday life. Perhaps it’s volunteering your time to the Sorority, mentoring a fellow sister or simply sharing your Alpha Sigma Alpha experience with someone you know. No action is too small because the combined actions of us all can make a profound impact.

Happy reading,

ALYSSA HUTCHINSON MILES, QZ DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS & MARKETING
