Sigma Delta Alpha (ΣΔΑ) is a Latino-based Fraternity established in the West Coast of the United States. Founded in 1992, the Brothers of Sigma Delta Alpha continue to strive for excellence in supporting each other socially, personally, and academically. Brothers also ensure to reach out to serve and enrich the community with the Latino culture and solidify the Purpose of the Fraternity.

History

In the fall semester of 1991, several students at San Jose State University saw the need of an organization that would address the needs and issues pertaining to these students. Recognizing the existence of other organizations on campus and the inability of these organizations to fulfill these needs, future Founding Father, Francisco Huerta, brought forth the idea of creating a new organization to the table. As this new ideology began to evolve, Francisco took the forefront in organizing the initial meetings that set the groundwork for the establishment of Sigma Delta Alpha. Everyone knew from the first introductory meeting held in November 1991 to the day the organization was finally established that there was long road of hard work ahead for everyone involved. The odds for success were low and odds for survival were even less. But what didn't lack was the commitment and desire to succeed. As our Purposes were set and after several meetings and numerous successful events it was clear that it was time to present ourselves to the community as an established organization. On May 5, 1992, Sigma Delta Alpha was officially recognized as the 18 Founding Fathers were to go down in history for making a vision into reality.

Since the birth of this organization, Sigma Delta Alpha has continued to strive to fulfill the goals envisioned by the 18 founding fathers. Growing strongly at San Jose State University, it also continues to expand its values and ethics and fulfill its Purpose throughout prestigious universities and campuses. As it continues to grow in numbers it grows in spirit while new members are becoming the new carriers of the torch lit on May 5, 1992.
