On November 15, 1901 at Longwood College in Farmville, MA, a new sorority was organized and named Alpha Sigma Alpha. As stated in the charter, "The purpose of the association shall be to cultivate friendship among its members, and in everyway to create pure and elevating sentiments, to perform such deeds and to mould such opinions as will tend to elevate and ennoble womanhood in the world." Signature to this document include those of Alpha Sigma Alpha's five founders: Virginia Lee Boyd (Noell), Juliette Jefferson Hundley (Gilliam), Calva Hamlet Watson (Wootton), Louise Burks Cox (Carper), and Mary Williamson Hundley. 
The Creed of Alpha Sigma Alpha To fill my days with satisfying activity, To find dominant beauty in art, literature, nature, and friendships, To know the peace and serenity of a divine faith, To love life and joyously live each day to its ultimate good - This is my creed in Alpha Sigma Alpha. -Wilma Wilson Sharp
