The national Student African American Sisterhood (SAAS) is committed to enriching the educational experience of Black and Brown females through unity, academic excellence, service, and support. Through structured, research-driven programming and institutional support, SAAS is focused on improving the academic success and unification of sisters across the country. Their motto is “we are sisters on the same journey, empowering one another through social unity, academic excellence, leadership, and support…together we are a sisterhood of distinction. Together we can and will continue to rise.”
SAAS creates supportive networks among African American female, encouraging and assisting with personal and professional development, and providing strategies for educational success throughout college and beyond. As sisterhood is built, women will be empowered personally, academically, socially, and spiritually.
The six core principles of SAAS are social unity, academic excellence, cultural enrichment, personal development, financial affairs, and service learning. These principles provide the framework for all of the activities, events, workshops etc.
