What kinds of girls does AST accept?

There is no specific "type" of an Alpha Sigma Tau.  Selection of new members is based on the individual, not a cookie-cutter mold.  The only requirement we have for new members is that she be well-rounded, dependable, intellectual, and ready to face new challenges and social opportunities.

Alpha Sigma Tau is the sum total of our membership; its progress and its achievements are determined by the ability and quality of its members.

Why should I join a sorority?

Joining a sorority is one of the biggest, most important, and life-long decisions you will ever make.  Being an Alpha Tau allows you to become more involved on your university campus, form bonds with like-minded individuals, and gives you a community within a community to prosper and mature throughout your college years.  See the quotes page for the opinions of many members of Alpha Sigma Tau.  

There's more to joining a sorority than getting to wear letters on a sweatshirt.  You immediately have a group of people who share similar interests as you. You not only are part of the sorority at the University Central Arkansas, but you are part of a national organization with many chapters and a network of people. Your sisters and you will develop a bond over time--and you will likely keep in touch with them long after you graduate.

Going Greek will offer you opportunities in:

Greek life encourages endless possibilities for building friendships that last a lifetime, strengthens academic achievement, fosters community service and countless leadership opportunities.
