SSFFS brings together fans of various genres of science fiction and fantasy. The purpose of the organization is to create a community that fosters the involvement of women in science fiction and fantasy, including in areas like video games and roleplaying games that are generally male dominated spaces. SSFFS seeks to create a space where women can get involved in these spheres and feel comfortable doing what they love. To this end we sponsor an assortment of science fiction and fantasy related activities. SSFFS's strong and visible presence on campus helps to diminish the stigma associated with girls in geek culture by demonstrating that a strong community of female science fiction and fantasy enthusiasts exists and that anyone can join without fear of being the only woman in a group of boys.
