The first objective of the Founders was to establish the twin ideals - “The brotherhood of man and the alleviation of the world’s pain.” Each woman extended herself to her greatest capacity to live up to the standards the group chose. They attained high scholastic standing, developed intense bonds, and each served in philanthropic activities, donating to a variety of charities consistent with Phi Sigma Sigma's twin ideals and nonsectarian trait.
Today Phi
Sigma Sigma maintains One-hundred and ten healthy, active collegiate chapters throughout the
United States and Canada. These chapters live by the Phi Sigma Sigma core
values:
1. Lifelong Learning 2.
