phi sigma rho

They are not a social chapter, they are an engineering one, but that doesn't mean they do not do social events. This is not really the site to ask people about them because most people on this sorority are ifc and pha. So sororites here probably don't do many events with them or anything, but if you are interested in an engineering related group of girls, i would check them out, get to know some of their members. Their time commitment is probably much less than a pha sorority, but they don't really party with most of the greek groups using this site. If you were cut from formal I would still highly recommend doing informal for pha. There are still a few events going on this week, and you really have nothin to lose. It's so much more chill than formal, you just kind of show up and get to know a few people and can leave whenever you want. That is if you're still willing to commit to a pha chapter. You can still find your home in pha, it's never too late. And if things don't work out (as informal can soemtims be competitive) u can always try for phi sig rho, I'm sure they would be happy to have you as well as the chapters doing informal this week. I would check out DZ and AOPI if you are worried about getting cut again, your chances of getting a bid from these are most likely higher (this is an estimate so i could be wrong) because some of the other houses informally recruiting are very very competitive and you probably need to know girls in the house to get in. Hope this helped

Think about what you want out of greek life. Some of the pros of Phi Sigma Rho is that you will me a lot of girls in engineering and join their sisterhood. It will be a lot less of a time commitment, so you will have more time to work on schoolwork. Some of the cons are that it's not a large sorority nationally, so you won't get that "international sisterhood" that can help you out in the future in terms of networking. Since it's much less of a time commitment, well, it means you won't spend as much time doing sorority things. That includes engaging with other chapters in the greek community, having good turnout from your chapter for events, and overall just not making sorority life as much of a priority. It all depends on what's important to you.

I'm in Tri Delt & we had an event with them last semester. They are a PHA sorority & they're super nice. They're smaller, but it was a lot of fun. I thought the girls seemed like normal sorority girls, so idk. Just think they don't get invited a lot to places because people don't realize they're part of PHA.

I was on PHA council previously and have a best friend who was a Phi Rho. I can comfirm Phi Rho is a PHA sorority. However, they're considered an "associate chapter" for the sole reason that they can't be granted full membership because they technically discriminate by major. That being said, they do have social events, blocks, formats, etc. like all other social Greek organizations. They do not do formal recruitment because we're unable to force thousands of girls to talk to them when only a handful are in eligiable majors. I believe they've finished recruitment this semester based on seeing bid day pictures, however, if you are interested definitely reach out. If my friend is a good representation of the chapter as a whole, they're a really great, fun group of girls.

How did this chapter become such a big topic of conversation rn?

I lived with a few phi rhos and went out with a lot of them pretty regularly. There's definitely a divide of people so you have some who want to go out/party/plan events, and some who want a movie night in. They do football block, they have TGs, they have date parties and formals. The biggest difference between them and other PHA sororities is the size, which might not even be a bad thing. It's a rest mix of really nice girls and I would recommend going to some of their recruitment events and giving them a chance.
