What
is Beta Sigma Phi?
Beta Sigma Phi sorority is an international women’s
social, cultural, and service organization. Currently there are over
250,000 active members worldwide, in Chapters located in 32 countries.
Community service is an important objective, with members donating
nearly 300,000 hours per year to charitable causes, and raising over $2
million annually. Beta Sigma Phi is not a secret group, nor is it
sectarian, political, or affiliated with any school or university. |
History
Beta Sigma Phi was founded in 1931, by Walter W.
Ross who saw a struggle for fulfillment in hundreds of young women who
needed an organization to belong to, an avenue for their own growth and
self-development. In spite of economic depression, Walter Ross made a dream
come true with the founding of Beta Sigma Phi. He shared his dreams with
Leona Schroers and Sally Rogers McSpadden (Will Rogers' sister), who were
both very active in the National Federation of Women's Clubs. These two
women helped Mr. Ross with the program planning and chapter organization.
They adopted a motto - Life, Learning and Friendship - and found that the
three Greek words Bios, Sophia and Philos, which mean life, learning and
friendship, begin with the Greek letters, Beta, Sigma and Phi. That is
how the name was chosen for what has become the largest women's organization
of its kind in the world. His vision and the vision of the first members
have captured the imagination of millions of women across the nation and
around the world. |
