Sigma Psi Zeta is a cultural, social, educational and community service oriented sorority. We are the first Greek-lettered sorority of its kind to be established on the East Coast and is one of the largest and most distinguished Asian-interest sororities in the nation. Our national philanthropy is to combat violence against women in its various forms - which includes but is not limited to rape, incest, domestic violence, and sexual assault. We chartered at the Saint Joseph's University on April 21, 2013 and on campus we are dedicated to advocating for our philanthropy, promoting multiculturalism, and striving to become strong, independent women.
