Who We Are
Phi Sigma Rho is dedicated to expanding the definition of a traditional sorority. We provide a social outlet for technical women who want the benefits of a traditional social sorority, but do not want the excessive time commitment.
The sisters of Phi Sigma Rho understand the time involved with an engineering or technology major. Our sisters strive for academic excellence, but also place emphasis on the need to have fun. Every sister of Phi Sigma Rho wants to encourage our sisters to develop socially as well as academically.
Engineering is a traditionally male field. Phi Sigma Rho offers a close friendship and sisterhood that women in engineering do not always find in their predominately male classes. There is a certain commitment to our sisterhood, but the return is a lifetime of friendship and memories.
"Together we build the future"
-National Motto
