Phi
Sigma Rho is a national social,
not professional, sorority for women
in science and engineering/engineering technology. It was founded in 1984
at Purdue University by two young women who desired to be part of the social
Greek system, but didn't have the time for formal rush due with their challengening
class schedules. They questioned, "Why were there fraternities specifically
for engineering majors, but no sororities for engineers?" The idea for
creating a social sorority that could partner a rigorous engineering curriculum
was born. A short time later, on September 24, 1984, the first chapter of
Phi Sigma Rho was created with 10 charter members. Since our founding, Phi
Sigma Rho has become an inspiration to many women every year. There are currently
several chapters of Phi Sigma Rho and we have alumnae located throughout the
nation and around the world.
National Motto: "Together, we build the
future."
National Colors: Wine Red & Silver
