To all female DO students. Kappa Sigma Phi, an exclusive women's sorrority at PCOM, strives to become a national sorrority among osteopathic medical schools. Below you will find a description of our fine sorrority that has been up and running for a year. With the addition of other schools we will be able to expand our network of participating clinicians as well as student contacts. If you are thinking about starting a sorrority at your school please contact me: Katie Ziegler @ [email protected].
KAPPA SIGMA PHI WOMEN?S OSTEOPATHIC SOCIETY
Kappa Sigma Phi Women's Osteopathic Society was founded at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2003. Its members come from diverse backgrounds. Students within the school, as well as honorary members, who have already graduated from an Osteopathic medical school, are united in promoting women in osteopathic medicine. Based upon these ideals, Kappa Sigma Phi provides special opportunities to its members.
We provide a necessary social atmosphere of support and friendship to the women of PCOM. Our community service enables students the opportunity to foster relationships with the community by participating in a range of activities, such as: mentoring children in elementary schools, hosting a "Senior" Prom for residents at a nursing home, providing care and playing with animals at a local animal orphanage, and more. The Society provides a contact network to recent and past alumni, professors, and other osteopathic physicians who are interested in serving as mentors, advisors, and/or preceptors for shadowing, rotation, research experience, and advice.
To become a member, a woman must be either an osteopathic physician or a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Osteopathy. Active members must participate in a committee and attend at least two society functions each year.
The women of Kappa Sigma Phi at PCOM strive to expand the organization and its ideals to other osteopathic medical schools to foster a positive and extraordinary future for women in osteopathic medicine.
