In a surprising and emotional turn of events, the Phi Sigma Sigma chapter has officially closed after years of activity. Former members, including Macey Chambers and Taber, shared their experiences and frustrations following the decision.
“I was in Phi Sig for two years,” Macey Chambers said. “I was Vice Archon my first term and member at large the second term.”
Similarly, Taber recounted their leadership roles.
“I rushed my freshman year, fall semester, so two full years,” Taber said. “My first time in leadership was the secretary, and the second time I was vice president, which we call Archon.”
The University of Findlay’s housing department eventually closed the Greek Life housing, due to a lack of student involvement.
“The University didn’t think we were using our houses enough and people weren’t living in them as much as they liked,” Chambers said. “Therefore, they gave us one house that was storage for all of our stuff and could use for small events.”
Despite these efforts, the sorority’s future took a more permanent turn – Phi Sigma Sigma decided to close their chapter at The University of Findlay.
“One day, we were told by Phi Sigma Sigma, the actual corporation, to join a Zoom meeting. I thought it was going to be like a warning,” Taber said. “The supreme council of Phi Sigma Sigma has voted in favor of recommending closure of the chapter. We were told a month after the semester ended that our charter was canceled.”
With the close of Phi Sigma Sigma, one sorority and one fraternity remains – Sigma Kappa and Theta Chi. The members of Phi Sigma Sigma are still trying to appeal the cancellation of their chapter here on campus.
