Question: What if there is no chapter in my area, can I still become a member?
Answer: Definitely. Swing Phi Swing Social Fellowship, Inc.® welcomes the opportunity to grow our membership base. This is why we have seven designated Regional Administrators across the U.S. who not only maintain current chapters, but work to recruit in areas where we are not currently represented.
Question: Why is your organization non-Greek?
Answer: Our organization was founded by twelve remarkable, young women who were determined to offer an alternative to sorority and Greek life for women of color. These bold women challenged the norm and established a true sisterhood that promoted knowledge of self, activism, and individuality.
Question: Can I belong to or become a member of a Greek-letter sorority while I am a member of Swing Phi Swing Social Fellowship, Inc. ®?
Answer: We will not accept members who belong to one of the four Black Greek Lettered sororities or allow the continued membership of any member who becomes a member of one of these sororities. However, academic, business, or service fraternity/sorority membership is allowed.
Question: If you are non-Greek, then why is the Greek letter “phi” in your name?
Answer: The “phi” in our name does not represent the Greek letter phi, but is an acronym. Actually, SWING PHI SWING in its entirety is an acronym.
