Who Are We?
The Phi Chapter of Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc. is the first and only Multicultural Asian Interest Greek organization at the University of Colorado at Boulder. By promoting awareness of the Asian/Asian American cultures and heritages amongst the students and faculty of our campus, history is remembered and diversity is possible. In addition, we participate in political affairs to encourage all people to be more involved in social and philanthropic activities.
We believe the strength of our foundation derives from the unity of our sisterhood and also from the individuality each sister brings to our organization.
The Ten Rays of SYZterhood
When our sorority was first officially founded on March 23, 1994, ten womxn came together to establish an organization that would better their university and community. Each womxn chose a characteristic that would best exemplify strong foundations for Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc. to follow as it evolves--these are the Ten Rays of SYZterhood.
1. Integrity: To uphold the history, values and purposes of Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority Inc.
2. Legacy: To take part in the development of active sisters, pledges and alumnae through positive means, to ensure that the Sigma spirit is passed through the educational, individual and collective experiences of those associated with the sorority.
3. Scholarship: To support and emphasize academic achievement.
4. Philanthropy: To Combat the Violence Against Womxn through SYZter education, community awareness, activism and financial support.
5. Professionalism: To best demonstrate SYZterhood and allegiance through organization, conduct and action.
6. Community: To support individual SYZters in their personal endeavors of leadership, sportsmanship and community involvement.
7. SYZterhood: To give social and emotional support to active and alumnae SYZters, thereby providing invaluable experiences.
8. Culture: To promote an awareness of the Asian/Asian-American cultures and heritages, as well as multiculturalism and the cultures of the members represented in the sorority at large.
9. Citizenship: To serve as an example of appropriate behavior with the university, other Greeks and the community.
10. Activism: To inform and educate about the causes Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority holds dear.
These are values that we continue to uphold today, and use as a guideline to remind us of the spirit in which our sorority was first envisioned.
