March 3: International Badge Day

Join Supreme Council and the Foundation Board of Directors in celebrating International Badge Day on Monday, March 3 by wearing your badge with pride! The Fraternity released this message to our membership:

Celebrate International Badge Day March 3

Show Your Greek Pride!

Elkridge,Md. - Phi Sigma Sigma invites collegiate and alumnae members alike to celebrate International Badge Day by wearing their Sphinxhead badges with pride on Monday, March 3.

The Sphinxhead binds us all to Phi Sigma Sigma and the entire Greek community, including the 25 other member organizations of the National Panhellenic Conference (NPC), which sponsors International Badge Day each year.

"This is a great way to promote Greek sisterhood and the pursuit of professional and personal excellence among women," said Josette George Kaufman, Phi Sigma Sigma's NPC delegate and a past grand archon. "Thousands of women worldwide will be showing their Greek pride by wearing their badges, and we encourage everyone to participate."

This year's theme is "Wear Your Badge with Pride." A commemorative poster can be downloaded here.

The National Panhellenic Conference provides support and guidance for member inter/national sororities/women's fraternities and serves as the national voice on contemporary issues of sorority life. Founded in 1902, NPC is one of the oldest and largest women's membership organizations, representing more than 3.9 million women at 655 college/university campuses and 4,500 local alumnae chapters in the United States and Canada.
