​Why Join AΣK?
Alpha Sigma Kappa allows women and nonbinary students to make connections with other academically-oriented people pursuing STEM majors. Our siblinghood is a great way to find an older mentor in your major to provide guidance throughout your college experience. AΣK members also prioritize balancing their academics and social life; not only do we host events like study jams, but also social events like painting nights or seasonal celebrations like pumpkin carving! AΣK is also a great way to increase your involvement at UCSB and in our local community through our philanthropy work. We also offer leadership positions on executive board and as representatives on the Professional Fraternity Council. By joining Alpha Sigma Kappa, you'll enter a siblinghood of STEM majors who will support you throughout your college  career and beyond.
