We Are Removing Barriers To Education

At Circle of Sisterhood, our mission is to leverage the collective influence of sorority women to raise financial resources for entities around the world that remove barriers to education for girls and women facing poverty and oppression.

About CofS

The Circle of Sisterhood Foundation is a mechanism by which sorority women can stand together as one community to help improve the lives and livelihood of girls and women worldwide by removing barriers to education. Collectively, we are one of the largest communities of college-educated women in the world while not even seven percent of the world – men and women combined – has college degrees, and two-thirds of all illiterate adults are women.

“Education is access - to knowledge, to understanding/compassion, to skills, to community. Education should not be something that is compromised any more than the need for air in our lungs or food in our mouths.”
