What Sigma Phi Lambda, Inc. does

Sigma Phi Lambda, Inc. (DBA "Phi Lamb," formerly "Sisters for the Lord") is a private, Texas-incorporated nonprofit Christian sorority founded in 1988 at the University of Texas at Austin by five founders and eight charter members. The organization provides faith-based sisterhood and spiritual development to female college students through a campus-chapter model, currently operating 18 active chapters with 650+ members across universities in the United States. Unlike traditional Greek organizations, Phi Lamb uses an open recruitment process with no bid system, and is grounded in the Apostles' Creed.

The organization delivers its offering through a structured recruitment and induction process, weekly chapter meetings with worship and devotionals, prayer groups, and fellowship events. Beyond core membership, Phi Lamb runs add-on programs including an alumnae events network, the biennial Disney Leadership Trip (with Disney Institute seminar, $950 per attendee), and the World Vision 6K national philanthropy initiative established in 2010. There is no proprietary technology platform; the digital stack is limited to a Squarespace-hosted website, Google Forms for event registration, and Facebook/Instagram social channels at the national and chapter level.

Phi Lamb generates revenue through three streams: membership dues (new-member dues of $210-$260 per semester, plus active-member national dues), individual donations (one-time, weekly, or monthly via an online portal, check, or Venmo), and event-based fees such as the Disney Leadership Trip. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and a small national staff including an Executive Director and National Director, and is led without disclosed external investors or parent entities.

Broad incumbents

• Campus Crusade for Christ (Cru): Cru is a major interdenominational Christian campus ministry with established presence at U.S. universities; comparable to Phi Lamb in targeting Christian identity development among college students, though as a parachurch ministry rather than a sorority.
• Phi Mu: Phi Mu is a large NPC sorority with hundreds of active collegiate chapters; representative of the mainstream sorority competition Phi Lamb faces for Christian women who might otherwise join a secular sorority.
• InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: InterVarsity is the largest evangelical campus ministry in the U.S. with chapters at hundreds of universities — a broad incumbent serving the same Christian-college-student segment Phi Lamb targets, though without the Greek-letter sorority structure.
• Young Life: Young Life is a national Christian youth organization with a campus/college-phase arm; relevant as a broader faith-based community builder that overlaps with Phi Lamb's faith formation mission for young adults.
• National Panhellenic Conference (NPC): The NPC is the umbrella body for 26 mainstream women's sororities with thousands of chapters; Phi Lamb competes with NPC sororities for the same recruitment-eligible women on shared campuses, making them the dominant broad incumbent in college sorority life.

Direct peers

• Alpha Delta Chi: Alpha Delta Chi is a national Christian sorority founded in 1985 with multiple collegiate chapters — Phi Lamb's most direct competitor for Christian women seeking Greek-letter sisterhood on U.S. campuses.
• Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc. Kappa Delta Chi is a Latina-focused, values-based sorority with a multi-chapter collegiate footprint; comparable to Phi Lamb as a culturally/values-driven sorority alternative to mainstream NPC groups.
• Sigma Phi (National): Sigma Phi is a national Christian sorority with a parallel mission of faith-based sisterhood and similar chapter-based college recruitment model — directly comparable to Phi Lamb's positioning and target member.
