CHARTERS
Our charters, like our Founding Mothers, could not find an organization that embodied the beliefs values that shared with Sigma Psi Zeta. After a long search, we came across Sigma Psi Zeta and thus began our journey to sisterhood. The charters created Women Advocating Volunteering, Education and Service (W.A.V.E.S) to begin the chartering process.
After a long time of hard work and dedication, the Alpha Epsilon Charter was established on April 7th, 2012 under the leadership of the charter class:

Major: Food Science & Human Nutrition - Dietetics Year: Class of 2014 Ethnicity: Chinese Line: Class Lineage Big: Annie "xpLicit" Lee What I love about Sigmas: I love Sigmas for opening endless doors of opportunity for me to learn and grow with my SYZters, locally and across the nation.

Major: Communications Year: Class of 2014 Ethnicity: Chinese Line: Dessert Line Big: Maribel "Anaras" Obenza What I love about Sigmas: I love SYZ because of how much I have grown and learned in my journey of sisterhood so far!
