Phi Sigma Rho is a social sorority for women in Engineering
and engineering technology. Through Phi Sigma Rho, our
sisters develop the highest standard of personal integrity, strive
for academic excellence, and build friendships that will last a lifetime.

Phi Sigma Rho was founded in 1984 by Abby MacDonald and
Rashmi Khanna at Purdue University. Abby and Rashmi were unable
to participate in traditional sorority rushes due to the demands of
their engineering program, so they decided to start their own sorority
instead. The Alpha chapter was founded with ten members.

In the twenty-four year span since then, Phi Sigma Rho has grown
to twenty-two chapters from coast to coast.

At the University of Kentucky, Phi Sigma Rho was installed as a chapter
September 30th, 2000. It was the work of seven beautiful and motivated
engineering students who shared Abby and Rashmi's dream:

Amy (Arthur) Sharp
Jena (Walker) McClanahan
Amy (Gruner) Pierce
Ginger (Anderson) Streutker
Danielle (Smith) Herring
Kat Wenger
Emily Rigdon
