Headquarters Facility Updates
Updated October 8, 2025
The Alpha Sigma Tau National Council has made the thoughtful decision to sell our Indianapolis property, home to the Sorority’s Headquarters, office space to a portion of our professional staff, and our primary physical display of archives.
Throughout our history, Alpha Sigma Tau has embraced change with purpose and agility, continually evolving to meet the needs of our members and the world around us. In recent years, even before COVID-19 accelerated broader trends in remote work, our professional staff structure had already evolved to be more remote, reflecting Alpha Sigma Tau’s ongoing commitment to flexibility, efficiency, and innovation in how we work and serve our members.
The decision to sell the Headquarters facility reflects Alpha Sigma Tau’s future-focused vision, building on our longstanding culture of innovation and adaptability. By embracing new partnerships and exploring emerging technologies like AI, we are creating nimble ways to serve our members and strengthen the Sorority.
While the details of what comes next are still being explored, the National Council is focused on finding a solution that enhances operational efficiency, supports the evolving needs of our members, and keeps Alpha Sigma Tau strong for generations to come. We are confident that this is the right step to position our Sisterhood for continued excellence and impact over the next 125 years and beyond.
The Sorority will continue to share updates as information is available. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact National President Jamie Jones Miller or Chief Executive Officer Jordan Feldhaus at the contact information found in the FAQs below.
Evolving with Purpose: The Story of the Headquarters Facility
Since 2010, 3334 Founders Rd in Indianapolis, Indiana, has been the home of Alpha Sigma Tau Headquarters. Throughout the Sorority’s history, our space has evolved, moving from the National President’s home to an administrative hub, and ultimately to a fully equipped Headquarters supporting operations and programs. Over the years, this space has played a key role in supporting transformative organizational milestones, from the implementation of a modern governance model to the expansion of a thriving Foundation.
But our move to Indianapolis was just one chapter in a long story of adaptability and progress. Over the years, Alpha Sigma Tau’s Headquarters has taken many forms, reflecting the Sorority’s growth and evolution.

Before 1934
In our earliest days, “Headquarters” was wherever the National President called home—a reflection of the times and the dedication that shaped Alpha Sigma Tau’s early years.

1934–1949
The first true “Central Office” was established in Columbus, Ohio, under the direction of Carrie Staehle, then-National President. This marked an important step toward building a more centralized and professional organization.
1949–1981
Our “Central Office” later relocated from Columbus, Ohio, to Clayton, Missouri, and then to St. Louis, Missouri, guided by then-National President Elizabeth Wilson. Each move represented the Sorority’s expanding reach and operational growth.
1980–2008
In 1980, the National Council appointed a National Headquarters Site Committee, co-chaired by Cynthia Peckhart McCrory and Virginia Childress Becker, to research options for the Sorority’s next Headquarters location. In 1981, the National Council selected Birmingham, Alabama. There, operations began humbly in then-National President Sybil King’s basement before the Foundation purchased office space and leased it to the Sorority. Birmingham remained our home for nearly three decades, serving as a cornerstone for modern organizational development.
2008–today
In 2008, Alpha Sigma Tau prepared to embrace a new era. The National Council voted to hire an Executive Director, purchase a dedicated facility, and relocate Headquarters to Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2012, the move was celebrated with a grand opening during the 39th National Convention, complete with an ice cream social, the debut of the newly redesigned archives, and tours of our freshly renovated office space.
Frequently Asked Questions
The COVID-19 pandemic brought about many work and social changes. Organizations across all industries and sectors—including NPC organizations—began rethinking the way they structure the use of physical office space, often prompting more creative use of space to work, play and gather. Currently, over half of the Alpha Sigma Tau professional staff work remotely. As we consider the future, new partnerships and the integration of AI, AΣΤ needs to be on the cutting edge of innovation in the industry. This will allow us to grow and flourish for many years to come.
Due to rising costs and declining membership, AΣΤ has been challenged to think of ways to lower expenses, grow investments, and still provide an excellent membership experience. The National Council has considered this strategic direction for many years, and the sale of the building aligns with that long-term vision.
Indianapolis-based and remote staff will continue supporting Alpha Sigma Tau as they do today. In the coming months, staff members will assess workflows and make thoughtful adjustments to ensure operations remain smooth and efficient throughout this transition. A coordinated plan will guide packing and logistics once a buyer is identified.
The building will be put on the market in mid-October 2025. We are hopeful for a competitive commercial real estate market that will provide the organization with a desirable timeline for downsizing and modernization.

Our archives are a cherished part of Alpha Sigma Tau’s history, and preserving them remains a top priority.
