We are the sisters of Phi Sigma Rho at UCLA, and we’re excited to be raising funds for our annual formal, Orchid Ball, — a signature event that marks the culmination of a year full of growth, achievement, and lasting sisterhood.

As a social sorority for women and non-binary individuals in STEM, our members work incredibly hard balancing demanding academic schedules, leadership roles, and community involvement. This formal is more than just a night of celebration — it's a well-earned opportunity for our chapter to come together, honor our seniors, and reflect on all we’ve accomplished.

We’re fundraising because we want to make this event accessible and inclusive for all our members. Hosting a formal comes with a variety of costs — from the venue and catering to music, photography, and decor. As a student-run organization, we don’t have unlimited resources, and your support directly helps us ease the financial burden on our members.

Your contribution will allow us to:

Keep ticket prices affordable for all sisters

Recognize and celebrate our graduating seniors

Create a meaningful, inclusive, and memorable experience

Strengthen the bonds within our chapter

When you support Phi Sigma Rho, you’re investing in a group of future engineers, innovators, and leaders. You’re helping build a community that empowers women in STEM, fosters lifelong friendships, and promotes personal and professional growth.

Whether you're a family member, alum, friend, or simply someone who believes in the power of sisterhood and education — your donation means the world to us. No amount is too small, and every dollar gets us one step closer to an unforgettable night.

Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us celebrate the heart of Phi Rho.
