Joyously Give 2021

Joyously Give is the Alpha Sigma Alpha Foundation’s annual day of giving that will be held on Nov. 14-15, 2021. The event will run for 1,901 minutes in honor of the Sorority’s founding year. Together, members will help celebrate Founders’ Day by making gifts that further develop women of poise and purpose.

Joyously Give will run for 1,901 minutes on Nov. 14-15, 2021. The length and date correspond to Alpha Sigma Alpha’s founding year and Founders’ Day. The event will begin at 1 p.m. ET on Nov. 14 and will close at 8:41 p.m. ET on Nov. 15.

All members, alumnae and collegiate, are encouraged to participate in Joyously Give as a way to honor our heritage and strengthen our future. We also hope that friends and family of Alpha Sigma Alpha women will give in honor of the impact the Sorority and Foundation have had on the life of a woman they love.

Collegiate members are encouraged to participate by individually giving through the 1901 Society with a donation of $19.01 or more. Members of the 1901 Society receive an exclusive 1901 dangle in recognition of their generosity.
