On June 2, 2007, the sisters of Sigma Alpha Omega® voted to adopt Ovarian Cancer Awareness as our national philanthropy.  The sorority is currently working with Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.  The purpose of Ovarian Cancer National Alliance is to “to conquer ovarian cancer by uniting individuals and organizations in a national movement.”  We are very excited about this opportunity and are looking forward to raising awareness and funds to support this organization.
