KEY POLICIES...
Phi Sigma Pi is committed to a hazing-free
fraternity experience. We also are serious about the
use and abuse of alcohol. We embrace diversity and
encourage tolerance and acceptance.
Anti-Hazing Policy
Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity does not
condone physical or mental (emotional) hazing of any
kind, by any definition. The Grand Chapter strictly
prohibits the hazing of individuals involved in any
fraternity activities, including initiation.
Alcohol Policy
All applicable laws must be obeyed. The use of
alcohol during a Phi Sigma Pi event is discouraged
but not prohibited. Alcohol may not be present at
membership drive events, and the illicit use of any
controlled substances at these events is also
prohibited. A membership drive event is interpreted
as any rush or initiation event that is organized for or
by the rushees or Initiates or requires their
attendance for part or all of the time. Official
Collegiate Chapter monies may not be used to
purchase alcohol. Official Collegiate Chapter monies
are interpreted as monies collected for deposit into
the Chapter's Account or accounted for in any
financial management system, regardless of whether
the money is intended for the general fund or a
specific purpose. A Phi Sigma Pi sponsored event is
interpreted as one that is organized by a Chapter.
Discrimination
Phi Sigma Pi shall not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex,
sexual orientation, age, or disabled status in
admission to, access to, treatment of, or employment
in Phi Sigma Pi's programs and activities.
