                            Phi Sigma Rho Sorority on Prezi

                            Phi Sigma Rho is dedicated to expanding the definition of a traditional sorority. We provide a social outlet for technical women who want the benefits of a traditional social sorority without the excessive time commitments!

                            Misconceptions about RUSH often prevent girls from coming out to our events. We hope this can help to clarify what RUSH entails and how it works.
                            • RUSH Is absolutely free
                            • RUSH does not commit you to anything
                            • RUSH is for you to meet sisters and for sisters to meet you, and for you to decide if Phi Sigma Rho is something you are interested in

                            Q: Will I be hazed?
                            A: NO! 
                            Hazing is against Federal Law and Phi Sigma Rho Bylaws. We want everyone to feel comfortable and being hazed is not a positive experience.

                            Q: How much time and money would I have to put into Phi Sigma Rho?
                            A: Because we currently do not have a house, the active dues are much less expensive than the other sororities in the Greek system. It’s less than $150 your first semester!  We also value our members' commitment; however, we understand that they may need to take time out for personal or academic reasons.

                            Q: I heard that sorority girls constantly party without leaving any time for studying; is that true with Phi Sigma Rho?
                            A: That is an unfortunate stereotype of Greek life and is untrue of Phi Sigma Rho. The sisters of Phi Sigma Rho are all pursuing an engineering major and know what it's like to take tough classes. We value academics and make sure that all our members do too. We are not strict about sisters taking time away from sorority activities to focus on school. There is an elected Scholarship Chair who encourages academic progress, and many of us have been on the Dean's List, as well as part of the Honors College.
