Description
Founded in March 2017, Sigmas of Southern Arizona (SOSA) was created to support historically black fraternities and sororities (The Divine Nine, D9 or National Pan-Hellenic Council (NHPC) organizations) by providing professional business services including fundraising.
SOSA’s previous initiatives include the BluPhi Ride Assistance program, which SOSA created in 2017 to provide safe cab rides to bar patrons. In 2017-18, SOSA obtained housing for eight homeless veterans in the Tucson area. Since its inception, SOSA has partnered with local fraternal organizations to provide nonprofit business development services.
