PHI RHO SIGMA
ZETA CHAPTER

Exactly What You Need

Home: Welcome

It's 5:00 pm and your anatomy lab group calls it quits. You've just had eight hours of class. You and your weary lab partners are heading home. They have to trek through snow or brave icy roads to make it back. Then they'll have to spend the next hour making dinner.

But not you.

You take a brief 3-minute stroll under a covered walkway. You walk in the door to find that dinner is ready and on the table. You take a seat amongst friends for a delicious and relaxing meal. You've saved yourself valuable time and energy each day, and all because you made the best decision of your life:

You decided to live in Phi Rho Sigma.

OUR MISSION

SOCIAL

Our community values academic and social balance; we make sure to make time for fun. We enjoy alumni dinners, movie nights, summer BBQs, game nights, lawn games, football tailgates, and our two traditional all-school parties: Halloween and Black & White.

COMMUNITY

Residents of Phi Rho Sigma come from all walks of life, and are joined together under one roof by their appreciation for communal living. Community takes many forms at PRS, whether it’s studying together, helping out with the dishes, lending an ear, or lending a helping hand, we take pride in our community and shared spaces. If you’re looking for a tight-knit, diverse, and unique slice of UMMS, Phi Rho is it.

MENTORSHIP

Our Phi Rho Sigma “phamily” extends beyond the house to include our extensive network of alumni, many of whom stop by the house to share a meal or offer guidance and support. At home, upperclassmen offer insight and personal experiences to those following in their footsteps. These opportunities for mentorship give Phi Rho members a chance to develop relationships, build professional networks, and explore what lies ahead.

SHARED SPACES

Our living room with a piano, a pool table, and comfortable couches invites you to kick back, while the TV room beckons with an obscure movie or football game. Chef Bryant whips up 2 meals per day, served hot and fresh out of the kitchen (woo!), on the weekends, we enjoy bagels, and our spacious industrial kitchen gives you a chance to show off your baking skills. Our basement has a gym, study space, and laundry room, so you can stay fit, fresh, and clean.

COLLABORATION

Phi Rho Sigma is run by students in conjunction with the alumni board. Returning residents of the house have the opportunity to hold leadership positions on the executive board where they can shape the direction of the house and our community. Regardless of officer position, all members of the house work together to preserve and enhance our living and learning environment.

NEIGHBORHOOD

Phi Rho Sigma owns a historic English Tudor home in Kerrytown, just two blocks from the Taubman Health Sciences Library and the University of Michigan Medical Campus. Our house is also close to downtown Ann Arbor, the Farmer’s Market, and many fantastic restaurants and bars. Nichols Arboretum, Argo Park, and the Huron River are within walking or biking distance...tubing, anyone?
