  • About samaa

    History

    The idea of creating an Alumnae Association for the San Antonio area began with a group of Sisters in 2006. Although the idea was received with much enthusiasm SAMAA did not formally gather all necessary requirements to become a nationally recognized Alumnae Association of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. until 2009. The SLG National Board officially recognized SAMAA in January 2010.
