Why Should I Join Phi Sigma Kappa?
Brotherhood, Scholarship and Character. The pursuit of Justice, Wisdom and Honor. Nearly 130 years after our founding at the University of Massachusetts, the Cardinal Principles of Phi Sigma Kappa remain an integral part of our daily lives. Membership in the Fraternity teaches us not only the benefits of being a fraternity man, but also the importance of being a better man.
Phi Sigma Kappa is an extraordinary Fraternity with a storied past and promising future. Since 1873, our members have been pioneers in business, law, medicine, politics, higher education, science, athletics and nearly every other field imaginable. Our brothers - both undergraduate and alumni - seek to serve as model citizens in a contemporary world that is not always conducive to fraternity membership. They seek to break down the stereotypes of falsehood and construct relationships built on honesty, respect and compassion.
With good reason, prospective members always ask "What makes Phi Sig special…what makes your Fraternity different?" Are we the largest national fraternity? No. Do we have the most initiated members? No. Is our Foundation the largest of all fraternities? No. The answer is simple: unquestionably, our members make us the dynamic, progressive organization that we are today.
For generations, our alumni members have served as role models to the future leaders of both our country and abroad. Whether they have drafted legislative policy in the U.S. Senate, performed scientific experiments aboard NASA's space shuttle, guided the world's largest and most successful company or conducted life-enhancing AIDS research, our members truly do make a difference in the world.
Membership in Phi Sigma Kappa does not guarantee success in life. Rather, as a member of the Fraternity, the opportunity for success is available to you if you seek it out. Clearly, we cannot say that every member who wears the Brotherhood badge of Phi Sigma Kappa will gain instant status and affluence. The opportunity, h owever, is there and waiting. Membership in the Fraternity will offer leadership skills, personal and professional development, responsibility, alumni networking and life-long friendships. The spirit of "brotherhood" - while an intangible object - is definitely alive and well within the confines of our most sacred fraternity.
We appreciate that you've explored the possibility of membership within our Fraternity. Though the information provided on our web site is only a glimpse of what Phi Sigma Kappa is all about, we hope you've been able to gain a good sense of who we are and what we're all about.
