Phi Beta Psi (was Sororities for Adults)
The new Phi Beta Psi website is www.phibetapsi.org.
They were founded in 1904 as a high school sorority. Their philanthropy is "cancer research," apparently loosely defined so that local chapters can contribute to local efforts as well as the national funding of a grant.
They say they are one of the largest non-collegiate sororities. There's a directory on the website. I counted--86 chapters, 40 of which are in Indiana and 15 in Ohio. (P.E.O. has 2000+ chapters and I think Beta Sigma Phi is similar.)

What was wrong with the original site?
I must have missed something!

If I recall correctly, it looked almost exactly like Alpha Phi's national website. Ivy and all.

Not only did it look just like the A Phi site, it had pictures of A Phi's on it labeled as Phi Beta Psis. Very shady stuff....

I work in the library, and since I'm at work right now I just looked it up in Baird's. It has no mention of the sorority...then again it does not list Beta Sigma Phi either.

The full title of Baird's is, "Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities." Phi Beta Psi is not a collegiate fraternal organization, so it makes sense that they are not listed.

sairose, if your library has Gale's Encyclopedia of Associations (or Directory of Associations), you might want to check to see if that refernce work lists Phi Beta Psi ( and perhaps Beta Sigma Phi, P.E.O., etc.).
