Sigma Alpha Omega Christian Soroity Inc.® | Frequently Asked Questions on Starting a Chapter

Frequently Asked Questions on Starting a Chapter:

Q: How long will it take to start a chapter of SAO on my campus?

A: Starting a chapter will take approximately one full semester.

Q: What are the benefits of being in a nationally recognized Christian sorority?

A: There are many benefits to being part of a nationally recognized Christian sorority. Here are just a few:

First and foremost you have a huge prayer network spanning not only the United States from coast to coast, but worldwide! How awesome it is to know that you have sisters all around the world praying for you.
You will have the opportunity to attend the annual National Convention each year (location will vary), where you will be able to meet sisters from across the country.
A rapidly growing alumni base, which is great for networking.

Q: Do I have to be a specific denomination to be a part of the sorority?

A: Not at all! SAO is an nondenominational/interdenominational organization. All we ask is that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It's really awesome to know that we're not called to be a specific denomination, but to simply be followers of Christ. Therefore, we will never try to force you to adhere to a specific doctrine or become a member of a certain church.

Q: What types of activities does SAO participate in?

A: Each chapter holds different types of events. Some chapters that are within commuting distance of each other will sometimes hold joint activities. Activities always/often include: Bible studies, prayer walks, praise & worship events, service projects, fundraisers, sleepovers, holiday socials, game nights, semi-formals, and formals among others.

Q: Is there a Christian fraternity?

A: YES! Sigma Alpha Omega® was formed from Chi Alpha Omega Christian fraternity. Some of our chapters have brother chapters of XAO, while others do not. However, some of our chapters have other brother fraternities on their campuses.
