Phi Sigma Sigma to Relocate Headquarters

Elkridge, Maryland (September 9, 2004)—Phi Sigma Sigma President, Sandy Grossman, announces the relocation of Fraternity and Foundation headquarters to 8178 Lark Brown Road, Suite 202, Elkridge, Maryland 21705. The new contact information is: (410) 799-1224 (telephone), (410) 799-9186 (fax) and phisighq@phisigmasigma.org (email).

After 91 years, Phi Sigma Sigma has purchased a property which will serve as home to Phi Sigma Sigma's staff, records and historic memorabilia. The Fraternity and Foundation also will host meetings, events, trainings and leadership development programming in its new space.

Executive Director Alice C. Smith will lead the fraternity staff from the new office. Lisa Wallace (Epsilon Rho Chapter, York College) recently joined the staff in the position of membership manager, serving regions 5-8. Former Director of Collegians Linda Beavin (Beta Rho Chapter, Drexel University) has joined the staff on an interim basis as membership manager, serving regions 1-4. Linda will remain in this position on a temporary basis while the search continues for a permanent staff member. Lisa Daly (Zeta Xi Chapter, Canisius College) will work out of her home office in Boca Raton, Fla. as membership manager for regions 9-12. Additional staff appointments will be announced once the hiring process in completed.

Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation Executive Director Michelle Snyder (Delta Iota Chapter, Central Michigan University) will split her time between a home office in West Palm Beach, Fla. and the new headquarters.

The decision to move to Elkridge, Md. is the culmination of a year-long headquarters study, where eight cities initially were identified as potential sites. A headquarters site selection committee researched many factors, toured properties in five cities, and collected feedback from collegiate and alumnae members. The committee submitted its findings to Supreme Council, which selected Elkridge based on the availability of affordable, desirable property within close proximity to the airport, train station and hotels.

Phi Sigma Sigma is a national women's fraternity founded in 1913 at Hunter College in New York City. Currently, Phi Sigma Sigma has over 55,000 initiated members worldwide, with 107 collegiate chapters and colonies and 35 alumnae groups across North America.
