Phi Sigma Rho @ UC San Diego

Letter from the President

Hi there and welcome to Phi Sigma Rho's Chi Chapter at UC San Diego!

The Chi Chapter of Phi Sigma Rho was founded by eleven amazing women who came together to start a sisterhood of scientists and engineers. They worked hard and achieved their goal of establishing a strong chapter in November 2007. From then on, the sisters of PSR have been busy taking over the engineering and science world while staying classy in San Diego.

I've loved Phi Sigma Rho from the moment I joined and it's been amazing to see our chapter grow during my time here. The sisters of the Chi Chapter are extraordinary women who understand what it means to balance academics and social activities. Many of us participate in organizations and activities outside of the sorority, such as athletics, dance, research, and other engineering societies, but we still come together to create such a diverse sisterhood. Our tight-knit bond keeps us together through anything and I can't even begin to describe how the support of my sisters has helped me and others.

In addition to academics and social activities, we dedicate time to our community. We participate in philanthropies that benefit our local Girl Scouts and volunteer at outreach events within the engineering community. Every year, we host our annual philanthropy, Phi Rho Your Boat, which allows the Greek community to get hands on in engineering a boat made of recyclable materials in order to race across a pool. I love this event because it allows the Greek and engineering worlds to come together for a fun day of friendly competition and socializing.

I'm so excited and honored to be president this year. I know that I wouldn't be the person that I am today without the support and love of my sisters. Phi Sigma Rho gives you a chance to grow and opens the doors to endless opportunities and valuable friendships. The sisters here at the Chi Chapter are some of the best and most incredible women you'll ever meet and I hope you get to experience the sisterhood and take back wonderful memories as I have.

Phi Rho Love,
Jen Delizo
President
