About us
Who are we
Sigma Alpha Omega is a non-denominational, Christian social sorority that is first founded in Christ and second founded in sisterhood. We encourage each other to grow in the Lord and in the Word while holding one another accountable through our friendships. Our goal as a sisterhood is to ground ourselves in faith and community throughout our time at Pitt while making connections and having experiences that will stay with us even after graduation. The University of Pittsburgh's Beta Theta Chapter of SAO was founded in 2019
History
Sigma Alpha Omega® was formed as a Sister Sorority to Chi Alpha Omega fraternity. Chi Alpha Omega was founded as a co-ed Christian fraternity in the spring of 1987 at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. The purpose of Chi Alpha Omega was to assemble Christian students in a Christ-centered brotherhood in order to enjoy Christian fellowship, service, accountability, and social activities.
In January 1998, the active brothers (both males and females) of the Beta Chapter of Chi Alpha Omega at North Carolina State University voted to form Sigma Alpha Omega® in hopes of benefiting both the fraternity and the sorority. Both groups committed to living according to the ideals of Christ and His Word, uplifting each other through fellowship and service, and bringing the love of Christ to North Carolina State University.
