Finding Connection

This podcast series is all about connecting. Through each episode, we will connect with sisters from various geographic regions and at different stages in their membership. As members share their stories through this medium, we hope listeners feel inspired and empowered to aspire, seek and attain in their own lives.

We will also connect with our Ritual, our core values and our history as we work together to elevate the influence of women in the world.

“You are a member of a strong sorority...
Live it, talk it, dream it, work for it.
In no other way can you so effectively convince
others of its beauty, its greatness and its power.”

Ida Shaw Martin, 1916 Phoenix Magazine
