Silene PSO

Silene PSO is an private student organization operating within Stellenbosch University. This organization is provided for female students living in private accommodation who attend Stellenbosch University.

Silene was established in 2008 and consists of approximately 400 undergraduate female students. We assist first year students through their initial transitional period into university life in order to ensure that they flourish both academically and socially throughout the duration of their studies. Silene also incorporates senior students in its committees to allow leadership development and exposure to further opportunities within the university.

We are dedicated to creating an environment whereby our ladies can strive to becomes well rounded, value-driven, active citizens. Our mission is to mold our ladies into thought leaders who bring inspiration and innovation to every aspect of their lives and the lives of others.

The values we uphold and strive towards in Silene are Unity, Friendship, Respect and Individuality. These are the values borne in mind in all that we do as an organization. These values are naturally decided by the culture of our organization and the attitude of our members towards themselves and those around them. Silene stands proud in its values and continues to flourish in them as a warm and welcoming space for our ladies.
