Symbols

The insignia of Alpha Sigma Alpha are the star, crown, palm tree, and phoenix. The star represents the aspirations of Alpha Sigma Alphas to live up to the ideals of the sorority. The crown represents leadership attained and the name of recognition given to our alumnae. The palm tree represents an emblem of sturdy development. The phoenix, the central symbol in our coat-of-arms, openly represents the reorganization of our sorority that occurred in 1914.

The fall flower is the aster and the spring flower is the narcissus.

Alpha Sigma Alpha's Primary colors are Crimson and Pearl White and the secondary colors are Palm Green and Gold.

Alpha Sigma Alpha has two jewels. The pearl represents the beauty that comes with growth and belongs distinctly to the new member. The ruby, its color claimed for an indistinguishable flame in ancient Hindu legend, belongs distinctly to the initiated member.

The endurance of Alpha Sigma Alpha can be attributed solely to those who heeded the advice given in The Phoenix in 1916:

"You are a member of a strong sorority, one that ranks with the best in the country. Live it, talk it, dream it, work for it. In no other way can you so effectively convince others of its beauty, its greatness, and its power."
