This week's Feature Friday goes out to Sigma Psi Zeta, Sorority Inc.
Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc. is a progressive multicultural sorority with roots in Asian/Pacific Islander American women's issues advocacy. They were founded March 23, 1994, at SUNY Albany by 10 women. Sigma Psi Zeta's philanthropy has been to combat violence against women, and they have 33 chapters across the country.
This organization recently received provisional recognition at Lehigh University, which means that Sigma Psi Zeta is eligible to host informational meetings, scholarship events, or community service projects on campus in order to determine if there is interest in growing the organization. The provisional recognition will remain in place for three consecutive semesters beginning in Spring 2018. Should provisional recognition be successful, the organization will have the opportunity to organize a chapter at Lehigh and welcome women into the organization.

Back Story: The Cultural Greek Council is exploring opportunities to A) provide more options to students that might be interested in joining the community and B) to raise awareness of the various organizations that fit under the Cultural Greek Council umbrella. Sigma Psi Zeta has performed at two of the Council's annual Yard Shows, and the organization was well received across members and attendees.
