Sigma Theta Psi bannerAbout Sigma Theta Psi Multicultural Sorority

Sigma Theta Psi was the first established multicultural sorority at San José State University. Eighteen students established Sigma Theta Psi on November 13, 1991 and these women came to fill a void of multicultural awareness on their campus. They sought to create a sisterhood that would embrace and celebrate cultural diversity. In addition, they strove to promote not only diversity, but honesty, loyalty, and respect. Sigma Theta Psi is an academic and social organization, and the women in this organization recognize the endeavors of new and continuing students and are willing to assist others.
