SIA is a 501(c)7 tax exempt organization and
works in conjunction with the Solidaridad
Inspiración Amistad Community Foundation,
Inc., a 501(c)3 community foundation
committed to scholarship, service, and
professional development within Latino
communities nationally.
History
Hermandad de Sigma Iota Alpha, Inc. is a
Latina-based sorority devoted to serving our
community while fostering a sense of pride
and respect in our heritage. The sorority was
founded on September 29, 1990, by thirteen
inspiring young women who came together
with the goal of creating an organization that
would help their communities, unite women
and promote scholarship.
Since its inception in 1990, our organization
has expanded outside of the State of New York
and has chartered over 60 chapters across all
50 states. We continue to dedicate ourselves to
service, academic excellence and professional
development.

S
ince our founding, Hermandad de Sigma Iota
Alpha, Inc. (SIA) has found immense value in
providingour1,100plusmembershipinvaluable
opportunities to learn from the experience of
women in leadership roles and help encourage
women to use their lives to make a difference.
One of these opportunities is our Annual Convention
and Founders Banquet, which is hosted by the
National Executive Board in collaboration with
varying undergraduate and/or graduate chapters at
a different location each year.
In 2016, our national convention was hosted in San
Juan, Puerto Rico with undergraduate, alumni, and
professional members, as well as family, colleagues,
and fellow Greek members flying in from across the
nation.
Each year, Convention Weekend begins with an
honored guest speaker, who kicks off a series of
special workshops that motivate success, and
provide exposure to positive and productive life
choices. From forum-style discussions on the role of
diversity and inclusion to professional development,
these workshops serve as a platform to encourage
the development of our nation’s female leaders.
This national convention also offers an opportunity
to recognize and celebrate the professional,
philanthropic and educational achievements of our
diverse membership. In the month leading up to
the convention and banquet, Hermanas (sisters) are
encouraged to nominate individuals and chapters
who embody SIA’s three core principles:
Solidaridad (Solidarity), Inspiración (Inspiration),
and Amistad (Friendship).
The weekend then ends with our Founder’s Banquet,
where a keynote speaker continues to promote
the weekend’s underlying theme of solidarity,
inspiration, and friendship, and individuals and
chapters within the organization are recognized
for their contributions both professionally and
philanthropically.
In much the same manner, the 27th Annual Convention
set to take place in Tampa, Florida will:
• Celebrate the 2017 SIA leaders with awards
earned by exemplifying the goals of the
organization;
• Provide networking opportunities with student
and alumni members on a Local, State and
Regional level;
• Strategically connect young women,
professionals, and entrepreneurs from multiple
industries; and
• Recognize key initiatives championed by young
professional women
