Phi Tau Omega National Philanthropic Sorority Formed in 1925 by eight women, Phi Tau Omega became a national social and philanthropic sorority. With chapters in five different states, Phi Tau Omega's generosity reaches numerous communities. National philanthropics include Box Tops & Soup Labels for Education, Ronald McDonald House and Coupons for Troops. Each chapter selects local philanthropic endeavors to benefit by volunteer hours as well as monetary donations. With an active membership of over 270 women, Phi Tau Omega is always looking for women who share our passion for friendship and philanthropy.
