Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Inc. supports a variety of charitable organizations as a part of our community service commitment. As a national organization, we are proud to dedicate our philanthropic efforts to: Breast Cancer Awareness and the TRIO programs. Our Sorority conducts and participates in extraordinary programming events that are designed to bring about public awareness and education on these topics. In addition to our national service programs, our organization knows no limits in the quality and innovativeness of seminars and workshops which are facilitated by our membership.
Women, children and societal issues serve as a focal point for the programming efforts of sorority. On the regional and local levels, our chapter identifies important issues within our respective communities to create a positive change for the next generation. It is our goal to collaborate with many campus organizations and philanthropic groups to share the belief in community service and instill a compassion for the hardships faced within our global family.

Breast Cancer Awareness
Sigma Lambda Gamma-eXquisite Xi Alpha Chapter actively supports the important societal issue of Breast Cancer Awareness. Our support of this cause comes in various venues: from fundraising campaigns; educational workshops to create awareness; active participation in run/walk events; volunteer participation with organizations; or a combination of these forms. The one main foundation that our chapter supports in respects to breast cancer awareness includes, but is not limited to: The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Every fall semester, we hold an annual Susan G. Komen week. During this time, we have a table set up in the Quad and pass out breast cancer information as well as take donations to help the cause. We also have a Komen Bake Sale as well as a Komen Raffle where all the proceeds go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We participate in the annual Susan G. Komen Walks in both San Antonio and Austin and this year we will be sponsoring our very own Texas State-“PiNK WaLK” in support of Breast Cancer Awareness here in our local community. Every fall semester we donate $1,000.00 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in hopes to find a cure. If you are interested in participating in our Texas State-“PiNK WaLK”, please contact any Xi Alpha Member to obtain more information.
TRIO Programs
Sigma Lambda Gamma supports the TRIO programs for its innovative and proactive stance on the continual education of individuals who otherwise would not have been afforded the education or financial assistance to further their education and livelihood. These programs have become stepping stones for many students within our organization and other affiliates who have benefited to identify and continue secondary education.
Our nation has asserted a commitment to providing educational opportunity for all Americans regardless of race, ethnic background or economic circumstance. In support of this commitment, Congress established a series of programs to help low-income Americans enter college, graduate and move on to participate more fully in America’s economic and social life. These programs are funded under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and are referred to as the TRIO Programs. While financial aid programs help students overcome financial barriers to higher education, TRIO programs help students overcome class, social and cultural barriers to higher education.
TRIO programs developed to assist students succeed academically in high school and college education. The programs that Xi-Alpha works with include, but are not limited to: Talent Search and Upward Bound. We work close in hand with the Texas State University-Rural Talent Search Program in order to facilitate the move into the college life for high school seniors. During the spring semester, Xi-Alpha raises money to benefit our Sigma Lambda Gamma-eXquisite Xi Alpha TRIO Scholarships. We give two $500.00 scholarships to two college-bound high school seniors from the surrounding areas. The interested students must complete a vigorous application and be an outstanding student.
