The Circle of Sisterhood Foundation is a mechanism by which sorority women can stand together as one community to help improve the lives and livelihood of girls and women worldwide by removing barriers to education.
“Education is access - to knowledge, to understanding/compassion, to skills, to community. Education should not be something that is compromised any more than the need for air in our lungs or food in our mouths.”
As a council, we prioritize our own education and scholarship above all else. We demonstrate this value through our commitment to helping women worldwide receive the education they deserve.
