Beta Sigma Phi sorority is an international women's social, cultural and service organization. Founded in 1931 to provide women with a social outlet, a cultural forum, and an opportunity for service, there are over 150,000 active members worldwide. Chapters are located in 23 different countries, with chapters in every state in the U.S. and every Province in Canada.
Beta Sigma Phi is the largest Greek letter women's association in the world. It is not a secret group. Beta Sigma Phi is non-sectarian, non-political and not affiliated with any school or university. Worldwide, chapters donate between 200,000 - 300,000 hours of time each year to charitable causes, and raise over $2 million annually.
There are many benefits to membership in Beta Sigma Phi, including the privilege of transfer if you move, conventions (we had one in Ottawa in June 1999), and an exclusive, members-only, bed and breakfast program.
In Ottawa, we have about 300 members in 26 different chapters. Members can range in age from 18 to 99. We are always looking for new members. Sorority means different things to every member, and if you ask one her reason for continued membership it is likely to include lifelong friendships, community service, social events and food! If you are interested in joining in on the fun, friendship and laughter, please contact the Ottawa City Council c/o bsp@bspottawa.ca
