Student African American Society was founded in 1967 by 150 undergraduate African American students and is the first of its kind at a predominantly white private university. We are the largest and oldest, non-greek organization at SU. Our primary purpose its to unify and educate the underrepresented populations within the Syracuse student body and the Syracuse community. We convey our purpose through many philantrophies,speakers, and events.

For years, the Student African American Society has been at the forefront of dialogue amongst groups on campus in attempting to promote diversity and cultural competency.
SAS is now the oldest, largest, most respected and most active organization that represents descendants of original people. Today, SAS has a constituency of about 1,400 students or 12% of Syracuse University student population.
