Welcome to the National HQ of Sigma Phi Psi Military Sorority, Incorporated for United States Armed Forces Women!

Sigma Phi Psi Military Sorority, Inc. was not simply founded—it was divinely inspired and destined to transform lives. In 2000, God placed a vision in the heart of Shawn Lacy (Arnold) to unite the courageous women of the United States Armed Forces, creating a sisterhood unlike any other. But this vision could only be realized with the strength, determination, and unwavering faith of seven extraordinary women: Almeria Lacy, Marvine Tomlin, Kimberly Morgan, Barbara Hawkins, Dianna Strain-Bostic, Felicie Spencer, and Kathy A. Johnson. Together, they became known as the "Enlightened 8," a powerful force dedicated to serving, protecting, and uplifting our communities while defending the freedoms of our nation. Through their relentless pursuit of excellence, the Enlightened 8 turned vision into reality, creating a sorority that would become a beacon of light and hope for military women everywhere. They built a legacy rooted in faith, resilience, and sisterhood—a legacy that continues to thrive as we champion unity, service, and scholarship. Today, Sigma Phi Psi proudly stands as a testament to the boundless impact of their courage, forever honoring the remarkable legacy of our founders, the Enlightened 8. 

Our future is radiant with promise, and the impact we will continue to make is boundless. We are not just a sisterhood—we are a family, a force united by unshakable bonds. Together, we have stood side by side through moments of triumph and adversity, sharing in joy, tears, celebration, and reflection. Our connection is eternal, forged by purpose and strengthened by love. We are honored to reveal who we are, to stand boldly in our truth, and to uphold the powerful principles that guide and define us. This is more than a bond—this is a legacy, and we carry it with pride.
