Celebrate Founders' Day by Serving Others

Nearly 100 years ago, ten women with extreme foresight came together in friendship and inclusiveness to create a new sorority - Phi Sigma Sigma. Each November, thousands of collegiate and alumnae sisters from across North America come together to honor our Founders on Founders' Day - November 26.

There is no better way to celebrate the founding of our sisterhood than to serve others and demonstrate our core value of "servant leadership." This year, in celebration of our 93rd year of sisterhood, the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation invites you to serve others as a way to commemorate and remember the selfless giving of our Founders. During the month of November, join together with your Phi Sigma Sigma sisters to serve your community. You can increase the impact of your project by inviting other alumnae and collegiate chapters and sisters in your area, to join you in your philanthropic efforts.

If you are looking for ideas on what to do for Founders' Day, please email foundation@phisigmasigma.org. Don't forget to tell us about your success and send us your pictures !

Make A Difference Day

Saturday, October 28th marked Make A Difference Day 2006. For the past several years, Phi Sigma Sigma sisters from across North America have worked to make our communities strong through this important initiative. We have already heard from several of our chapters, including Iota Beta (Quincy University) , who reported a successful "Princess For A Day" event that served 63 young girls in Quincy, Illinois and raised over $1400 for the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation. Thank you Iota Beta! Now it is your turn! Leave us a "comment" or send us an email at foundation@phisigmasigma.org to tell us about the great work you did to celebrate Make A Difference Day!

Welcome!

Welcome to the Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation blog! After the tremendous success we had with our "Transplant Games Blog" we knew a blog would be the best way to connect with our sisters as we launch our brand new website. Thank you for "clicking" our way and we hope that you will check back to the Foundation site often to see the accomplishments of our sisters and learn more about the Foundation's good work. Feel free to leave a "comment" and let us know your service and philanthropy success stories!
