About Us
Chapter History
​
The Beta Phi chapter of Alpha Sigma Tau was founded on May 7th, 1983. We were founded at the California University of Pennsylvania. Since then, our sorority has expanded and become an active member of our campus. We currently have a full roster of 40 sisters. Our sisterhood features individuals from many different walks of life. Each sister possesses something unique, but contribute to our strong sisterhood. As a chapter, we encourage each other to commit to our studies, but we also make time to give back to the community. We believe Greek unity is important, and do our best to support our fellow Greeks and their philanthropies.
