Letter from our President

Hi there !!

My name is Samantha Crowley and I am so excited to serve as the President for Phi Sigma Rho! I rushed Phi Rho spring quarter of my freshman year and looking back, I cannot imagine what my life would look like without this incredible community of people around me. I truly found my second family in Phi Rho. I never imagined myself in a sorority, but the first day of my rush I was inspired by the amazing women who were standing up there and leading the sorority. I am so grateful to be following in their footsteps, and creating lifelong friends.

The best thing about Phi Rho is the sisterhood. As someone who's more introverted, it takes a while to open up to those around me, but I felt such ease being around my Phi Rho siblings. The support, love, and laughter we all share has defined my experience in this sorority. Not only do I feel welcomed to be my authentic self, but have found so many amazing academic and professional opportunities. We all push one another to strive for more and help each other along the way. We are all aware of the STEM struggle and are there to support each other through it. 

I am beyond excited to begin my journey as the next president of Phi Rho and continue to grow our sorority. It has been such a wonderful environment for me these last couple of years and I hope to create that same space for everyone. 

Phi Rho love,

Samantha Crowley
