I'm new to the forums, so this seems like a good way to get aquainted with you all.

Sigma was founded October 1, 2003 at the University of Oregon and is a Jewish interest sorority. For a short time we were Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi, however the sisterhood chose to disaffliate from Sigma AEPi. Since then we have been our own entity. We're currently members of the PHC at the U of O and at chapter toight we voted to expand our letters. We have been known as Sigma since our DA in 2005, but we are now Sigma Mu Omega.
