Phi Sigma Rho is a national sorority for women in the fields of engineering and science. In September of 1984, founding members Abby McDonald and Rashmi Khanna began Phi Sigma Rho at Purdue University as an opportunity for women in these fields to be active within the Greek community while still having the time needed to complete their demanding academic curricula.

Phi Sigma Rho has chapters at 22 universities nationwide, including Purdue University, Ohio State University, University of Dayton, University of Toledo, University of Kentucky, University of Pittsburgh, University of Michigan, University of Connecticut, Ohio Northern University, University of Arkansas, Penn State University, University of Washington, University of California - Los Angeles, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, Case Western Reserve University, University of California - Irvine, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Oregon State University, University of Florida, University of Houston, Howard University, and University of California - San Diego.

Our mission is to serve our sisters and our community through the promotion of high standards of personal integrity, respect, and character, lifelong bonds of sisterhood, and academic and professional excellence with a social balance through shared experiences, common bonds, and recognition of service and achievements.
