On November 4, 1899, eight college women from Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) formed the Alpha Sigma Tau Sorority in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Those founders are Helene Rice, Adriance Rice, Eva O'Keefe, Harriet Marx, May Gephart, Mayene Tracy, Mable Chase and Ruth Dutcher. These eight women inspired a love and dedication to the Sorority, a torch that has been passed through the years.
Alpha Sigma Tau Upsilon Chapter began in 1935 here at the University of Central Arkansas, then known as the Arkansas State Teachers College.
From
its beginning in 1899 to today, the Purpose of the Sorority has been "to
promote the ethical, cultural, and social development of its members",
and members have maintained high standards of scholarship, friendship and social
grace.
