PHI SIGMA SIGMA TO RELOCATE CENTRAL OFFICE
Effective summer 2004, Phi Sigma Sigma Fraternity will be establishing a new
Central Office located in Howard County, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore.
This new headquarters will be home to Phi Sigma Sigma's staff, records and
historic memorabilia. The current office in Boca Raton, Florida will remain
open through summer 2004.
The decision to move to Howard County, Maryland is the culmination of a
yearlong headquarters study. Eight cities were initially identified as
potential Central Office sites. A headquarters site selection committee
researched many factors including cost and availability of commercial
property, proximity of local services, quality of life for local residents
and travel and accommodation costs for visiting officers and members.
The committee completed this research, toured properties in five cities, and
collected feedback from collegiate and alumnae members via a survey at
Leadership Training School. After analyzing the data, the committee
submitted its findings to Supreme Council in fall 2003. Supreme Council
selected Howard County based on the availability of affordable, desirable
property within close proximity to the airport and train station, hotels,
shops and restaurants.
Specifics regarding the location and details of Phi Sigma Sigma's new
Central Office will be released once negotiations are complete. A search
for a new executive director based in Howard County/Baltimore will begin
shortly.

headquarters, please contact Michelle Snyder at (561) 451-4415 or email
