Alpha Sigma Rho (ΑΣΡ), also known as Alpha Sigs, ASR, and Lovely Ladies in Red, is a sorority for service projects directed to the Asian-American community.
Alpha Sigma Rho was founded as an Asian interest sorority in 1998 by twelve women at the University of Georgia: Irene Chien, Sandra Chu, Young Jeon, Debbie Kwon, Angela Lu, Lynn Nguyen, Anne See, Anna Suh, Juliette Taylor, Jessica Yoo, Suzanne Yoo, and Jasmine Yu.[1] Collectively, these women are referred to as the "founding mothers". The sorority has spread to universities in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas.[1]
Symbolsedit
The founding mothers adopted symbols for the sorority.[2] Its flower is the calla lily and its mascot is the swan.[2] The sorority's colors are red, silver, and white.[2] Its gemstone is the opal.[2] Its symbol is Nu, the Chinese symbol for woman.[2]
Activitiesedit
On a national level, the sorority is pledged to support the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.[1] The sorority's various chapters work with their local Asian-interest philanthropic organizations to help them with fundraising and publicity. These include China Care,[3] Austin Children's Services,[4] and Circle of Sisterhood.[5]
Membershipedit
Applicants may seek membership as college undergraduates or as graduate students. Membership is open to those who meet the requirements, regardless of race, nationality, religion, and several other factors.[1]
