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.
Fastest and Largest Growing Sorority in the Nation!
OUR MISSION
