Epsilon Sigma Alpha International began in 1929 because a group of individuals came together to learn, grow and prepare themselves for an ever-changing world.

Celebrating more than 83 years of success, ESA has developed new and creative avenues in which volunteers can make differences in the world. ESA stands for Education, Service, and Association.

The purpose of the organization is to grow knowledge through our Educational Program, to be of service to others and to our sisters, and to provide a social program where we enjoy each other’s company.

Never has there been a time when volunteering has been more important. We live in an increasingly complex world that moves at a rapid pace.

Demand for the individual talents have developed through sorority has not diminished.
