Founder, Walter W. Ross
Beta Sigma Phi sorority is an international women's social, cultural, and service organization. Founded in 1931 to provide women with a social outlet, a cultural forum, and an opportunity for service. There are over 250,000 active members worldwide. Chapters are located in every state in the United States and every Province in Canada. Beta Sigma Phi is the largest Greek letter women's organization in the world. It is not a secret group; it is nonsectarian, and nonpolitical. We have chapters on some university campuses.
Beta Sigma Phi is not a secret society. The
Greek letters of its name represent Life, Learning and
Friendship, which is the organizations motto.
Typical chapters enjoy socials that range from informal
gatherings to gala affairs that often include friends and family.
Fascinating cultural programs offer insight into subjects that
range from the arts to gardening to in-home businesses.
Membership in our organization provides opportunities to
contribute to your community, develop lifelong friendships, and
polish leadership skills.
Our members raise more than $3 million for local charities and
donate over 200,0000 volunteer hours in an average year. Each
chapter determines its own service projects and participation is
always voluntary. Chapters have created their own International
Funds that donate millions of dollars to health research groups,
hunger projects, and other worthwhile causes.
Members and their families can receive assistance through our
International Loan, Scholarship and Disaster Funds. What Makes Us
Unique? Our organization has members of all ages and educational
backgrounds. Our sisterhood constantly redefines itself through
the diversity and vitality of its members who share their ideas,
talents and enthusiasm.
That is why we are known around the world as "The Friendship
Organization."
