Phi Sigma Pi is a Coed honorary fraternity based on a tripod of Scholarship, Leadership, and Fellowship. Today more then ever before, Phi Sigma Pi is an essential and useful part of the college experience. It includes every field of higher education with out emphasizing any particular field of study. The Coeducational national honor fraternity recognizes outstanding scholarship and leadership and promotes fellowship among its members.
Phi Sigma Pi has the distinction of being an Honor Fraternity as opposed to an Honor Society. The essential difference is that an honor fraternity seeks to organize the service, fund raising, social, and recreational potential of its members while promoting its dedication and respect for education and academic excellence. The honor society is an association rather than an organization and functions mainly to recognize past academic achievement of its potential members.
As an honor fraternity founded upon superior scholarship, Phi Sigma Pi strives to advocate academic ideals. Phi Sigma Pi also serves as a common social ground that encourages close friendships among its brothers. In carrying out the purpose of the fraternity, Phi Sigma Pi inspires its members to acquire a disseminate knowledge, apply professional skills through leadership, and foster fraternal fellowship.
The purpose of an initiation program is to prepare individuals for membership into Phi Sigma Pi. For these individuals to reach their potential as Phi Sigma Pi brothers and leave their mark on the fraternity's history they need to have a complete balanced understanding of the fraternity at the earliest possible stage in their association with Phi Sigma Pi. The individuals need to know the nature of the group, its goals, and how it functions by experiencing those things for themselves. The initiation program is a learning period as well as a time when both the individuals and the active chapter have the opportunity to assess whether or not Phi Sigma Pi is for them. The initiation program is also a time to build close and lasting friendships as well as develop pride and dedication for the organization. “Great brothers are not born, they are created,"
Hazing is a term that commonly refers to activities or actions which would be illegal or unlawful, which could constitute theft, burglary, or trespassing, or any other activity or action which could be morally objective to the individual. Any activity which could be potentially harmful to the individual, endanger life, or force action against their will.
According to our fraternity's national constitution under article XX section 1, Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity will not tolerate hazing, especially during the initiation program. Our Chapter initiates earn brotherhood through hard work and character development.
We will allow each student the time for his academic responsibilities, reasonable sleep, and reasonable campus involvement. Prospective members are in school for an education, a learning experience, both in and out of the classroom.
Our chapter has an 8 week initiation program.
Phi Sigma Pi holds rush events near the beginning of the Spring and Fall terms where we allow potential brothers to meet us and learn exactly what Phi Sigma Pi is all about.
Phi Sigma Pi has appointed two members specifically to help you! These two members are your Initiate Advisors. Feel free to contact them with any questions you do have. Information is mentioned above.
