joined Alpha Eta Sigma after receiving their degrees that semester.

Since her inception, the Sorors of Alpha Eta Sigma continuously represent and uphold our sorority's motto, "Greater Service, Greater Progress." In the 1940's, Alpha Eta Sigma enriched Sigma's image with many outstanding and varied activities that were designed to create a better world for our people, our children and our community. On June 27, 1947, Alpha Eta Sigma chartered Beta Delta Chapter at Temple University. Alpha Eta Sigma would chart more collegiate chapters in the 1990’s. The Mu Delta Chapter was chartered in 1991 on the campus of West Chester University, and the Xi Theta Chapter at Lincoln University in 1995.

"Training Youth for Community Leadership" was the theme of the 27th Boule hosted by Alpha Eta Sigma in 1961. The chapter would also host the sorority’s Northeast Regional Conference in 1944, 1954, 1976, 1994, 2004 and will host again in 2014 under the leadership of Alpha Eta Sigma’s very own Soror Vanetta Cheeks-Reeder, Northeast Region Syntaktes.

In 1979, Alpha Eta Sigma presented its first Annual Scholarship Peanut Luncheon that highlights the research and inventions of scientist Dr. George Washington Carver. The chapter continues this signature program to date, providing scholarships to graduating high school seniors. The Accomplished Alpha Eta Sigma Chapter has earned awards through the sorority, such as the Mary Lou Allison Loving Cup Award, which is presented in honor of Founder Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little at each Boule to the chapter reporting the most successful program and the Corine J. Green Anchor Award.
