Pi Rho Sigma Military Society, Inc. was founded on the premise to aid and assist Veterans and their families.

 

One of the many things that brand Pi Rho Sigma  unique is our ideals and the manner and purpose behind its founding.

 

Our founders decided to assemble an organization that would promote principles of catering to the needs of Homeless Veterans and support among men and women currently serving in the United States Armed Forces or for those Men and Women, whom have served honorably in the past and their families.

 

Everyone’s recovery process is different. Depending where you are in your own rehabilitative and transitional process, we hope you find a program that fits you and/or your family’s needs. 

​

As we continue to discover the ever-evolving needs of Homeless Veterans and their families, veteran programs are also ever-evolving, so check back often to see what’s new at Pi Rho Sigma.

 

Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Whether you are newly injured or have been on the path to recovery for a while, Pi Rho Sigma is here to support you as you define your new normal. 

​

Pi Rho Sigma Military Society, Inc. serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001 and their families. On that date, America watched in horror as approximately 3,000 people died including hundreds of firefighters and rescue workers. Many warriors note a sense of duty to volunteer for the military following these tragic events.

​

Sept. 11 also served as a stimulus for Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and New Dawn. Operation Iraqi Freedom refers to military operations in Iraq that began March 19, 2003 and officially ended August 31, 2010. Operation Enduring Freedom refers to combat operations in Afghanistan and other regions in support of the Global War on Terror. Operation New Dawn refers to the conclusion of operations in Iraq beginning September 1, 2010 and ending December 15, 2011.

​​Surviving the battlefield.

​

With advancements in battlefield medicine and body armor, an unprecedented percentage of service members are surviving severe wounds or injuries. For every US soldier killed in World Wars I and II, there were 1.7 soldiers wounded. In Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, for every US soldier killed, seven are wounded. Combined, over 48,000 servicemen and women have been physically injured in the recent military conflicts.

​

In addition to the physical wounds, it is estimated as many as 400,000 service members live with the invisible wounds of war including combat-related stress, major depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Another 320,000 are believed to have experienced a traumatic brain injury while on deployment.

A catalyst for change.

​

With the mission to honor and empower, Pi Rho Sigma is the hand extended to encourage veterans as they adjust to their new normal and achieve new triumphs. Offering help in seeking a variety of programs and services, Pi Rho Sigma is willing to aid veterans with seeking help with every type of injury – from the physical to the invisible wounds of war.
