Since that time, Sigma Alpha has become a national organization consisting of 60 collegiate chapters and 32 alumni chapters.

The sorority was named Sigma Alpha for "Sisters in Agriculture." The sorority official colors are emerald and maize, the mascot is the baby bull, the official flower is the yellow chrysanthemum, and the symbolic jewel is the emerald. The motto is Women Excelling in Agriculture. The objective of Sigma Alpha is to promote its members' roles in all facets of agriculture and natural resources.
