Phi Sigma Phi,(Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: ΦΣΦ) is a national fraternity in the United States founded on July 30, 1988 in South Bend, Indiana by chapters formerly of Phi Sigma Epsilon that declined to participate in that fraternity's merger into Phi Sigma Kappa. There are currently five active chapters and one active colony of Phi Sigma Phi nationwide. The current national president is University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point alumnus, Joshua Finch.[1]
Phi Sigma Phi after formed from the merger of Phi Sigma Epsilon and Phi Sigma Kappa.[2] A small group of Phi Sigma Epsilon alumni and undergraduate collegians opposed the merger with Phi Sigma Kappa and instead decided to form a new national fraternity.
On, Phi Sigma Phi National Fraternity, Inc. was formally organized in South Bend, Indiana, to serve as a national organization. The fraternity was founded as an evolution of ideals and dedication to independence and freedom of choice. Former Phi Sigma Epsilon alumni were elected to serve as Phi Sigma Phi's first National Council.
Seven chapters were the foundation of the new fraternity. These chapters are known as the "Founding Seven" chapters:
Although there was strong support for this new fraternity from many campuses and alumni, the first years of Phi Sigma Phi's existence were difficult. From to, the national fraternity struggled for survival, and expansion was non-existent. Establishing new national programs, publications, visitations, and a new financial program were top priorities and took most of the new fraternity's energy and efforts.
In the early s, the National Council and staff of Phi Sigma Phi emphasized service and support of members. In 1991, Epsilon Alpha chapter formed at Michigan State University. This was followed by Xi chapter at Central Michigan University in 1995 and several other new chapters. Phi Sigma Phi became the 66th member fraternity of the North American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) in .
The fraternity's colors are Cardinal red and white. Its symbol is the phoenix. Its flower is the white multi flora rose. Its motto is ''Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.''
Phi Sigma Phi is a partnering organization with the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation. This partnership was first implemented by the Epsilon Zeta chapter at Fairmont State University and was expanded to a national effort at the fraternity's July 2015 National Leadership Development Academy in Morgantown, West Virginia.
