The History of Phi Sigma Sigma
Phi Sigma Sigma was founded on November 26, 1913
at Hunter College, New York, New York by ten
women whose first objective was to establish the
twin ideals - “The brotherhood of mankind and the
alleviation of the world’s pain.”

Today, Phi Sigma Sigma maintains 110 healthy,
active collegiate chapters throughout the United
States and Canada.  

Phi Sigma Sigma continues to be a proud,
strong member of the Greek community
because our Founders were leaders of their
time, who developed a mission to perpetuate the
advancement of womanhood. They believed that
women of different faiths could come together
and work toward common goals.

Founders' Creed:
To you, founders of Phi Sigma Sigma, who gave
us being and meaning on the twenty-sixth of
November, in the year 1913, we dedicate anew
your fraternity in its present extent. To the
brotherhood of man and to the alleviation of the
world's pain, twin ideals which drew you together,
we re-pledge ourselves with new fervor. Witness to
your reverence of the goal you set for us, this day
shall see a nationwide votary, when all chapters
of Phi Sigma Sigma shall do homage unto you
and shall devote themselves in act and in belief
to the selfless giving which knows no creed.
