Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, inc. is the FIRST Asian-interest sorority on the East Coast. We were founded on March 23, 1994 at SUNY Albany by ten ambitious women.

We have and are currently expanding to well over 29 chapters and thousands of SYZters across the nation. National History

In the Fall semester of 1993, a group of young undergraduate women first came together. These women, hailing from different cultural backgrounds, became close friends. While musing about the state of their campus and their friendships, the idea of forming a sorority casually came up. They believed that a sorority built on their friendships and sharing their vision could address a gap that existed on the SUNY Albany campus. This idea slowly solidified in their minds; these women believed that a sorority built on their friendships, laughter, strengths and dedication would be a formidable force. Over the course of the semester, their group of friends grew closer and in size. On February 28, 1994, the Founding Mothers of Sigma Psi Zeta sat down together over dinner to discuss their common goal. They all aimed to establish an organization that encompassed the strength of today’s Asian-American woman and her potential for making an impact on the world around her. They came together as friends, realizing the apathy towards Asian women and the dual-disadvantage for being “The Silent Minority.”

On March 23rd, 1994, the State University of New York at Albany formally recognized the sisterhood of Sigma Psi Zeta. This signified the birth of many firsts. Our Alpha Chapter was established on that date, as well as the birth of the first East Coast-based Asian sorority. The Founding Mothers struggled to establish our organization, our purpose, and most importantly, a precedence by fighting the odds.
Sigma Psi Zeta immediately became a positive influence for the University at Albany campus community, as well as its Asian community. Realizing the importance of expanding our leadership, empowerment, and service, we initiated our first pledge class and established a second chapter less than a year later, which today is known as the Beta Chapter at the State University of New York at Binghamton. They too were pioneers, becoming the first Asian-Interest sorority to be established in Binghamton. We are pioneers and activists as our Founding Mothers were before us. Our sisterships, both undergraduate and alumnae, enjoy a distinguished reputation for activism, scholarship, character, and leadership. These are women who still embrace the beliefs of our Founders by sharing universal sisterhood in their hearts and lives. We are an organization that seeks to educate and enlighten all people, regardless of race, about Asians and Asian-Americans; our achievements, our struggles, our interests, and identity.

Happy Birthday to our gorgeous SYZter Jay *ÈNDEARING* Zhang ! 🎀💗

Our very own collector, artist, scrapbooker, and professional Whatnot shopper 🛍️✨ If there’s a cute little trinket out there, Jay WILL find it and somehow convince herself she absolutely needs it 😭 From her ever-growing collection of Calico Critters 🧸🐰 to her absolutely MASSIVE book of Pokémon cards, there is truly never enough room for another collection… but somehow, she always makes room!

Speaking of Pokémon cards, we’re still trying to figure out how one person managed to collect THIS MANY cards 😭📚 At this point, her Pokémon card book needs its own zip code. If you ever need to find Jay, just look for the nearest Whatnot live because chances are she’s there draining her credit card one purchase at a time 💳💸

And after all that spending, she somehow still managed to buy herself a NEW WHIP 🚗💨 We love a girl who knows how to treat herself! (Self-bought btw)

But Jay isn’t just a collector — she’s also incredibly creative! 🎨💌 From making beautiful art to putting together the cutest scrapbooks, she always knows how to turn little memories into something special. Her creativity truly shows in everything she does, and we’re so lucky to have our very own artist in the sisterhood 🥹💕

Of course, no Jay appreciation post would be complete without mentioning her love for seafood and sushi 🍣🦐🐟. Give her a good sushi spot, some seafood, and maybe a little shopping money, and she is SET.

And beyond all these things, we also want to take a moment to appreciate everything she has done for our chapter. 💗 Thank you for all the time, effort, and dedication you’ve put into our SYZterhood. From the work that happens behind the scenes to the memories and experiences you’ve helped create, your contributions have not gone unnoticed. We’re so grateful for the time, creativity, and energy you continue to pour into our chapter and for everything you’ve done to help make our SYZterhood what it is today. 🫶🏻

We love you endlessly

Happy Birthday to our beautiful SYZter Phoebe *Revoír* Yee!
Our skims queen, she’s always serving, always shopping, and somehow ALWAYS finding something new to add to the collection 🛍️🎀 whether it’s a mofusand pull or another blind box just know her wallet is fighting for its life 😭. don’t fret though because our girl is breaded up ⬆️this summer.

and let’s not forget her newest obsession… her iPad 📱 😭 it’s only been a few days and she’s already transitioning into an iPad kid. if you can’t find her, just check the nearest screen because she’s probably cooking up some monumental art pieces. from drawing her pet from memory to caricatures 👌you know she’s the real art(ist)🖼️

but behind all the shopping, collecting, she’s one of the most hardworking and dedicated syzter in our chapter 💗 you know she always gatcha 😉😉back when you need her most. she’s always putting in the effort, showing up, and giving her all to everything she does. her dedication to our chapter never goes unnoticed, and we’re so lucky to have someone who cares so deeply about her our syzterhood 🫶🏻

she’s truly the definition of work hard, play hard 😌💅🏻 one minute she’s getting things DONE for the chapter, and the next she’s hunting down her next blind box or scrolling through Depop.

thank you for always bringing your energy, dedication, and personality to our chapter and for making every memory that much more fun 🥹💗

we love you so much
