Who we are
Nu Sigma Pi is a local women's organization based in Ottawa, Ontario. We were founded on September 14th, 1997 by 19 women, who shared common interests and goals for the future. Although the Founding Mothers have since graduated and are now alumnae, their legacy remains an integral part of Nu Sigma Pi Sorority and the goals she hopes to achieve in the future. More than twenty-five years and over 510 members later, the sorority is still growing strong! Members focus their attention on academic achievement, charity work, and campus involvement always remembering that "United We Are Strong and Successful".

Hi, my name is Karen! I'm going into my third year in Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa and I'm studying to become a doctor. I joined Nu Sigma Pi in my first year of university and since then, it has allowed me to meet so many women from different backgrounds and different career paths. This community has encouraged me not only as a person, but as a student. The sisters of Nu Sigma Pi have helped me on my path towards med school. Whether it was lending me old notes or telling me where to look for information, there was always a sister present. I have been able to reach out to alumnae for help and advice. I have seen sisters go through the same journey as me and have had the honour of having them by my side to guide me. Nu Sigma Pi is more than just an organization, it's a home filled with women willing to help one another at any moment. I am forever grateful for everything this organization has brought me.

Hi! I’m Connie, and I’m a first year Nursing student at UOttawa! I’m passionate about fitness, personal growth, and all things artsy - I love staying active and constantly pushing myself to become the best version of me. During my first semester here, I realized that I wanted to meet new people and expand my social circle. Without knowing much about Nu Sig, I decided to rush with Natalie in the winter 2025 semester, which ended up leading me to find the most genuine connections! Before joining, I saw Greek life as just a way to make friends - but now, I see Nu Sig as something much deeper. Nu Sigma Pi feels like a family, and I know my sisters will always be there to lift me up when I need it most. Nu Sig has already helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect, and I’m so excited for everything that’s to come!
