Committed to the community, founded upon passion

We are a non-profit, social and philanthropic women's organization based in Orange County, thus inspiring our name, "So-Phis." Founded on August 15, 1958, we have dedicated countless hours to support various community organizations over the years. Today, So-Phis continues to strive to further their legacy and passion of community service and giving back to the community.
