Just wanted to clarify that Phi Sigma Rho Sorority is purely a “social sorority,” just like any of the 26 NPC sororities/fraternities! We do not promote a particular profession, and we are not a professional organization. Almost all of our 20 chapters/colonies are recognized by Greek Life on their campuses, and most are either full or associate members of the Panhel.

Yes, we generally choose our members from particular academic majors, but this is our choice to limit the pool of candidates that we recruit from. However, having an initial academic requirement does not make us a professional organization. For example, there are sororities/fraternities that have an academic requirement for initial members way above a 2.0 GPA, but this does not make them honorary organizations.

Also, participation in formal rush has nothing to do with being a social sorority. Remember, formal rush is not a requirement but a recruitment option that a chapter can make. The other option is to wait until after formal rush and just COB, which is what the majority of our chapters do. If you have any questions about Phi Sigma Rho, please feel free to PM me!

I'm just speaking for the Phi Sigma Rho sorority on UK campus. On UK's campus they are not a social sorority but are a professional organization.
Its true, its true.
