History
The Founding Mothers of Sigma Theta Psi created the sorority on November 13, 1991 at San Jose State University to fill a void of multicultural awareness on their campus. They sought to create a sisterhood that would embrace and celebrate cultural diversity, and that was rooted in the shared principles of respect, honesty, open-mindedness, loyalty, leadership, and academic excellence.
Since its founding, Sigma Theta Psi has remained a sisterhood unparalleled by any other. The multicultural sorority is a well-organized society of dedicated and goal-oriented women, and continues to grow strong today. Today, Sigma Theta Psi has twelve chapters at the top universities and colleges in California and Nevada, including San Jose State University, San Diego State University, University of Southern California, Long Beach, Stanford University, Mt. Saint Mary's College, California State University, Monterey Bay, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, California State University, Sacramento, University of San Diego University of California, Santa Barbara, and California State University, Fresno.
