Frequently Asked Questions
What is the American Republican Sisterhood?
The American Republican Sisterhood (ARS) is a social organization dedicated to preserving Republican & Christian values, helping each other grow, supporting local candidates, attracting new members to the party and, most of all, having fun! We are not a 501(c)3 nor are we affiliating with a particular political candidate, organization or member.
Where Can I find a List of Meetings & Events?
The ladies of ARS meet for a Yappy Hour on the same day at the same restaurant each month for ease of scheduling. Check on our "Yappy Hour" page to see a list of cities, days, and places. If you would like to plan a Yappy Hour in your city, please contact Kara at (757) 600-7321. Starting your own area sisterhood is easier than you think! ALL sisters are welcome to attend ALL listed events - and it's very fun to meet new friends when traveling!
We also host an annual "Women, Wine, & Winning" retreat at the Trump Winery and have our signature event, the Early Voting Eve Party, on (you guessed it!) the evening before the first day of early voting. Cities may plan to host additional events which will be listed on our website, social media, and email blasts.
How do I Join?
ARS has no application fee or dues. We are a totally volunteer organization. We do not make or sell lists of our sisters' information. Please contact Lupe Sigman at (540) 538-9416 to join our sisterhood.
Do I have to be a Registered Republican to Join?
Absolutely not! We already have a few Libertarian sisters and Virginia doesn't even have a Republican registry like other states. You should, however, share our Republican thinking, because many of our activities and discussions are based on conservative, Christian values.
Are Men Allowed to Join?
Absolutely not! We do, however, have a few annual social and volunteer events our Republican brothers are welcomed to join. We also often invite significant others to join us in political activities, such as working poll stations, knocking doors and hosting fundraisers.
May I Bring Friends to Events?
Please do! ARS sisters are encouraged to invite other female Republican friends, family members, and co-workers to meetings. We love growing our circle and enthusiastically welcome new members to the organization.
