Volunteer Appreciation Week 2026

Volunteer Appreciation Week is a national campaign to recognize the impacts of volunteers on communities. At Phi Sigma Rho, we truly could not operate as a national organization without the efforts of a National and Local volunteers. While we are grateful for our volunteers everyday, we wanted to take a moment to recognize the our national volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation week (April 19-25, 2026).

To all of Phi Sigma Rho's volunteers, we extend our sincerest gratitude for taking time out of your lives to volunteer with the sorority or one of its entities. Each of our volunteers embodies the values of Phi Sigma Rho, scholarship, lifelong friendship and encouragement and the contributions that you make are life-changing and the impact that you make does not go unnoticed. Phi Sigma Rho would truly not be where it is at today as a national organization without the efforts of our dedicated Alum and Collegiate Volunteers.
