Phi Sigma Rho (Alpha Pi Chapter)

Experience the inspiring sisterhood of Phi Sigma Rho at the University of Wyoming! Founded in 1984 by a group of pioneering women at Purdue University, Phi Sigma Rho was created to support women in engineering and engineering technology. The founders, unable to participate in traditional sorority recruitment due to their demanding schedules, established a sorority that understood the unique time constraints of their field. Together, they laid the foundation of Phi Sigma Rho, creating symbols, rituals, and rules that have endured for over 40 years. Today, Phi Sigma Rho has expanded to more than 40 schools across the nation, maintaining its mission to unite women through shared professional ambitions and support each other through personal, academic, and professional growth.

The Alpha Pi chapter of Phi Sigma Rho at UW, like the original Alpha class, embodies this mission. Accepting women from a wide range of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) majors, the chapter continues to provide support and social opportunities to students.

Phi Sigma Rho is also dedicated to philanthropy, with the Phi Sigma Rho Foundation awarding scholarships and supporting initiatives like the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you’re looking for a place to realize your potential, form lasting friendships, and join a legacy of empowering women in engineering and additional STEM fields, Phi Sigma Rho at the University of Wyoming is the perfect fit.
