Lead. Serve. Connect.

Epsilon Sigma Alpha (ESA) is a collegiate leadership and service organization that empowers you to grow, give back, and form lifelong connections. As a member, you’ll have opportunities to develop your leadership skills, make a real difference through hands-on service, and build friendships that extend far beyond college. ESA provides a supportive and flexible environment where you can explore your passions, enhance your resume, and become part of something bigger than yourself—all while having fun and creating lasting memories.

Education

ESA is committed to helping you grow as a leader and a lifelong learner. Through chapter involvement, you’ll gain hands-on experience by organizing events, chairing committees, and taking on leadership roles. ESA also offers personal and professional development opportunities, from networking events to workshops that build skills in teamwork, communication, and project management. No matter your major or career goals, ESA gives you real-world experience that sets you apart.

Service

Making a difference is at the heart of ESA.

In Our Own Words...

Zach R. Member
“Being a member of Epsilon Sigma Alpha is easily one of my most rewarding college experiences. Not only am I able to easily volunteer my time to give back to the surrounding community and to my university, I’ve made tons of close friends along the way. ESA meetings and events are always looked forward to because it’s relaxed and fun, plus there is the feel-goodiness that comes with doing service. By far, joining ESA is one of the best decisions I’ve made during college!”

Bev E. Member
“ESA has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made during college. Not only have I met my lifelong friends but I found my love for service, so grateful to be doing what I love with people I love!”

“When deciding how to decorate my cap, I thought of everything that meant the world to me during my college experience…my major, the clubs I was in, the people I had met. I had kind of a rough start at school, then for me everything changed when I found the sanctuary that is Epsilon Sigma Alpha; I had finally found my calling! Doing service with my chapter was my favorite time at my university.”

Amy H. Parent
“Of all the things my son has done, I think founding the ESA chapter at his university is what I am most proud of. It has brought so much into his life and changed the lives of so many others, including my mother and I. After he told us about ESA, I joined a community chapter and my mom joined ESA the following year. In ESA we have gained another family, enriched our lives in too many ways to count, and learned the love of giving. Thank you to my awesome son!”
