Happy 23rd Anniversary to Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity!

On July 30, 1988, in South Bend, Indiana, Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity came into being as a result of a merger of two other fraternities. Members of seven chapters of one of the two merging fraternities decided to go out on their own and start a new fraternity. These daring men decided to create a new organization that united college men who wished to share in the spirit of true friendship and brotherhood.

The seven undergraduate chapters that became "The Founding Seven" of Phi Sigma Phi were located at: Eastern Michigan University; the University of Wisconsin-Stout; the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire; Northland College, Ashland, Wisconsin; West Virginia Wesleyan College, Buckhannon, West Virginia; Concord College, Athens, West Virginia; and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.

The dawn of the 1990's saw Phi Sigma Phi settle into its position as that of a strong and determined new national fraternity. In 1997, Phi Sigma Phi was officially recognized as the 66th member fraternity of the National (now North-American) Interfraternity Conference (NIC).

Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity's mascot is the Phoenix and its colors are cardinal red and silver. Today the organization has 11 chapters nationwide. 

Happy 23rd Anniversary to all members of Phi Sigma Phi Fraternity!
