History

Phi Sigma Phi formed from the merger of Phi Sigma Epsilon and Phi Sigma Kappa. 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:Lambda, Eastern Michigan UniversityOmega, University of Wisconsin–StoutPhi Beta, University of Wisconsin–Eau ClairePhi Iota, Northland CollegePhi Kappa, West Virginia Wesleyan CollegePhi Mu, Concord UniversitySigma Zeta, University of Wisconsin–River Falls
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.
