Our sorority was originally established as an organization for Japanese and Japanese-American women who were not welcomed into the Greek sororities at that time. It was not until the mid-1950's when membership was opened to women that were not of Japanese descent. The pledge program was also implemented at this time. Sigma Phi Omega has seven chapters chartered at the following schools.
College is a time for new faces, endeavors, and experiences.
Among this whirlwind of unfamiliarity, being in a sorority can help brighten your path and put things into perspective. It provides a base for lasting friendships and special memories. Sigma Phi Omega prides itself for its diversity in membership as we embrace the unique qualities and gifts each person brings. Our alumni have gone onto successful careers in business, law, medicine, cinema, music, and education. In 1999, we celebrated our 50th anniversary.
