Since the 1894 establishment of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL), an Asian-interest Greek organization has historically never been introduced on campus. Recognizing this void, ten highly dedicated women: Hue Cao, Uyen Chu, Nicole Michael, Karen Lee, Hanh Nguyen, Le Nguyen, Ly Nguyen, Shayla Nguyen, Trinh Pham, and Kim Anh Pham sought to bring the first Asian Sorority to UNL. In the fall 2001, these ten women came together to form Asian Sorority Interest Group (ASIG).

Their Aim was to establish an organization that stresses scholarship, leadership, and community service. These women of ASIG went on to pledge their allegiance and loyalty to Sigma Psi Zeta Sorority, Inc., an organization founded on these principal. On January 3, 2003, the Xi Charter of Sigma Psi Zeta was established at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The ten charter members worked hard to make their charter an active organization that geared toward promoting and advocating Asian-American, and women’s issues on the UNL campus. They are committed to making a significant impact on campus by introducing cultural awareness and promoting the spirit of volunteerism and activism.
