What is Sig Sig Rho?

Sigma Sigma Rho isn’t at all like a traditional/Pan sorority. They’re a “multicultural/MGC” sorority (which, every pan sorority here has women of all different backgrounds). They don’t have any social events like formals or mixers, and they don’t get to go to Panhellenic events (like pan semi) and they can’t hold any offices on Pan. They also don’t have anywhere near the amount of connections or alumnae support that Pan sororities do. Tbh it’s mostly the girls who don’t get bids during sorority recruitment. I would def avoid joining. Even if you don’t get a bid during sorority recruitment, some Pan sororities still do Spring Recruitment, and you can rerush your sophomore year.

Sigma Sigma Rho isn't a Panhellic or NPHC sorority, it's a part of the Multicultural Greek Council. I would respectfully disagree with the person above me, because they're focused on how a non-Pan sorority doesn't do the same thing as Pan sororities, because it isn't a Pan sorority? I would definitely recommend checking out Mercer's site for information on them and on their own website (which you can find by googling Sigma Sigma Rho Mercer and it should be the first result). The sorority as a whole is rather new, being founded in 1998. The chapter on campus is probably the newest chapter on campus, being founded in 2017. They have a very different recruitment than us, because they hold events throughout their primary week (much like we do informal or COB) and the rest of the process is rather secretive. They then present all of their new members at one point during the semester. (I'm in a Pan sorority, so I'm trying to recall what one of my friends had explained a few months ago, sorry if my explanation is vague.)

As for the chapter on our campus, they are admittedly very small, but they've taken pledge classes for both semesters and have been slowly gaining more members. (Again, they were founded only in December of 2017, so I think they're doing a pretty good job here!) They seem to have a very close sisterhood, because I see their sisters together all the time and they seem to really enjoy hanging out with one another. They also do hold events, having held a few events fall semester and having an entire week for their philanthropy. They've also held formals, mixers with other frats or sororities (including a movie night with Phi Mu and Chi O), fundraisers for their philanthropy, and won stuff at their conventions frequently. They're actually pretty passionate about their philanthropy, because they seem to dedicate a lot of time to it.

For a more traditional style review of them, they're, again, a very small chapter. Because of that, they aren't as well known, but I'd definitely argue more well known and involved than some of the other chapters here. They have a lot of really nice girls, including girls in leadership positions like Bear Force leader, RAs, Order of Omega, and student orgs like the Film Society and B.E.A.R. Most of them are friendly and involved, but not too popular yet. Their social life seems rather similar to a lot of other students, not a crazy ton but not nothing either. Their sisterhood seems really strong though, and I think they're pretty smart as well.

Please note, again, they aren't a Pan sorority, so the rules we have to follow are different than them for rush. They're not going to be like a Pan sorority, so if you have your heart set on a Pan-sorority experience, don't rush them. But if you don't, I would actually recommend on checking them at either Bear Fair or a pre-rush event, because they seem pretty cool, if you're interested in Greek life.

The fact that they’re following tons of pnms and none are following them shows that they’re desperate.
They may have “social” events but they don’t get invited to parties, and frats don’t associate w any of them

Lol like 5 of the girls they took this year we’re girls who couldn’t get bids from pan sororities. The only frat that associates w them is depsi, and they’re super weird
