Epsilon Sigma Alpha
Epsilon Sigma Alpha International is a non-collegiate service organization for women and men ages 18 and older. The organization states that its purpose "is to inspire leadership and service by bringing good people together to pursue programs and projects that make a positive difference locally, nationally and internationally."
Established in 1929, ESA is a network of an estimated 15,000 members in over 1,000 community based chapters, with coordinating organizations at state and international levels. ESA also includes United States collegiate chapters which provide charitable service to their campuses and communities. All service by ESA members is unpaid, with membership fees covering large portions of administrative and chapter expenses.

In addition, the ESA Foundation supports education through an ongoing Scholarship/Endowment Program and provides grants to individuals involved in charitable service for children and adults.

Emblems and Symbols
Emblems associated with ESA include the Greek letters Epsilon Sigma Alpha (ESA) and a national emblem of the Open Book representing “the wealth of knowledge and strength of wisdom.” The giraffe was chosen as a mascot because it is "a head above the rest."
The yellow jonquil was chosen as the organization's floral emblem as it is "rich in color, perfect in form." A members magazine, "The Jonquil," takes its name from the flower and is published twice yearly.
