It all started back in 1913 when 10 women in Hunter College in New York City wanted to establish their very own sorority. They wanted to build a sisterhood based on inclusion, philanthropy, and friendship. They were the first non-sectarian (no ritual based on scripture) sorority in the nation. Today, the sisters of Phi Sigma Sigma continue with the original ideals and have many chapters in both the US and Canada helping turn Phi Sigs into strong leaders.

The Gamma Zeta chapter was first established on the University of Rhode Island campus in 1973. Gamma Zeta left campus within a few years after that. In April of 1990 38 women started a local sorority, Rho Psi Delta. Rho Psi Delta's ideals were very similar to the ones that the founding sisters of Phi Sigma Sigma adopted. Within a year of their founding Rho Psi Delta made the decision to restart the Gamma Zeta chapter and colonize into Phi Sigma Sigma. On the weekend of March 28 and 29th the Gamma Zeta chapter was reinstalled with the biggest new member class in URI's history- 105 women. Since. Ten years later Gamma Zeta is still strong and holding true to the motto of Phi Sig by aiming high. With focus on sisterhood, scholarship, and philanthropy Gamma Zeta has managed to establish its place on the URI campus. The bond of sisterhood is what makes us more than friends- more like real sisters.

"Once A Phi Sigma Sigma, Always A Phi Sigma Sigma."
