Alpha Sigma Kappa
Alpha Sigma Kappa – Women in Technical Studies® (ΑΣΚ – WiTS) is a social sorority for women in the fields of mathematics, architecture, engineering and the sciences.
==History==
Alpha Sigma Kappa grew out of a Little Sisters of Triangle organization formed in 1983 by Triangle Fraternity. In the late 1980s, Triangle's National Council resolved to phase out their Local Little Sisters organizations. The University of Minnesota's Little Sister group wanted to continue the formal relationship, and decided that forming a new sorority would be the best way to keep the premise of the original group intact. Alpha Sigma Kappa was created on May 1, 1989 with eighteen founding Sisters:
Sonja (Antolik) Fisher, Nicholie (Olsen) Bufkin, Jacqueline (Dandurand) Seal, Jennifer (Parker) Zylko, Jean Etzell, Cheryl (Perusich) Kussow, Kelly (Gram) Riehle, Jennifer (Holland) Richards, Mara Hollinbeck, Ann (Romani) Felteau, Sharon Kosmalski, Karen (Schlangen) Steele, Sara Krawlewski, Leanne Wolske, Melissa Matschiner, Joan Zak, Donna Monson and Elizabeth Zimmermann.
Alpha Sigma Kappa was founded in the hopes of bringing women pursuing technical studies together in a social setting. Historically, these career fields were dominated by men — at the time the sorority was founded, only 17 percent of the students enrolled in the Institute of Technology at the University of Minnesota were female. Thus, the presence of an organization dedicated to supporting the few women who entered such fields was greatly needed. Alpha Sigma Kappa believes the need for a sorority that develops, encourages, and supports the academic and social needs of these women is an important aspect to society and the sorority.
