Sigma Sigma Sigma exists to provide a lifelong sorority experience for women. In conjunction with the formation of this Mission, we reaffirm our commitment to the Sigma Sigma Sigma Declaration of Principles. These Principles elaborate on three basic tenets, which are the reasons for our existence as a Sisterhood. Tri-Sigma promotes a perpetual bond of friendship, develops strong womanly character, and inspires high standards of ethical conduct. Sigma Sigma Sigma is the newest sorority at Pratt Institute. In the spring of 2007, local sorority Delta Alpha Pi was absorbed by this nationally recognized sorority. While continuing to hold on to the principles and values that Delta Alpha Pi instated many years ago, the sisters decided it was time to take the next step toward growth. The sisters hold many social events on campus that provide unity in the community. By working alongside other Pratt organizations such as the Kappa Sigma fraternity, Theta Phi Alpha sorority, Pi Sigma Chi fraternity, and NYPIRG the sisters help achieve positive wholeness at Pratt Institute. The sisters strive to influence people not only on campus, but in Brooklyn as well. The sisters work with such charities and organizations such as the MS Society, Breast Cancer research, and the Elisabeth Glacier Pediatric Aids Foundation. Diversity is embraced in this community and there's no exception with Sigma Sigma Sigma. The sorority consists of women of many different locations, heritages, backgrounds, religions, and ideas. One is sure to have a unique experience with any one of the sisters. The unity of diverse cultures, customs, and circumstances creates a harmony within and outside of the sisterhood.

Theta Phi Alpha National Sorority, founded at Michigan State University in 1912, currently maintains over 50 chapters and 4 colonies across the country. The women in the organization are distinguished by their high values for scholastic, philanthropic, and social endeavors. The Gamma Eta chapter was colonized at Pratt in the Spring of 2002.

Scholarships are granted annually to collegiate sisters from the Founders Foundation and also for educational, and leadership programs which benefit all sisters of the Theta Phi Alpha Community. The diverse demographics of our group will encourage you to expand your circle of friends…As a collective collegiate association, we ... Theta Phi Alphas can be seen prominently on campus in leadership positions through Orientation Staff, Origination, Residential Life, Student Activities, Black Alumni, Cross-Country, Shred the Gnar, NYPIRG, Up Top Players, Alianza, Tennis, The Board of Trustees, Ubiquitous, Program Board and Fashion Society. Most of the women are also honored with President’s and Dean’s List and recipients of many scholarships for their academic achievement.

Theta Phi Alpha women graduate to become successful leaders of their professions and contributors to their communities. Recent Pratt graduates have gone on to be industrious leaders in companies such as Trump Corporation, Aeropostale, Gap, Jimmyz, Rocawear, Cavali, Carolina Herrarra, and current members have interned at places such as NBC Universal Studios, Herman Miller, Switzer Architecture.

As a potential member you will be treated an respected as an initiated member and personal integritywill be never be compromised or impeded upon through hazing, as we hold a high respect for individuals and their human rights.

As a sister of Theta Phi Alpha, you will partake in both local and national philanthropies such as The House that Theta Phi Alpha Built, whose main goal is to provide necessities, such as housing and food, for the homeless. Glenmary La
