List of Phi Sigma Kappa chapters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phi Sigma Kappa is a men's social and academic fraternity with approximately 74 active chapters and provisional chapters in North America.

Naming rules[edit]

Interest groups are named temporarily after the school. Where the fraternity has previously had a presence, re-established groups may refer to themselves by their original chapter name, with the word "Provisional Chapter" appended. Provisional chapters at schools where Phi Sig has not had a presence will be awarded a chapter name as their induction ceremony is scheduled. Where there is a lack of progress or low membership, unsuccessful provisional chapters may be disbanded before receiving a charter or series name.

The 1985 merger resulted in the following naming compromises:[1]

  • In cases where an original Phi Sigma Kappa chapter, as well as a Phi Sigma Epsilon chapter, were present on campus but where both are now dormant, the designation of any new group would normally be the name of the older original chapter, with allowances based on alumni preference. See also the main section on Naming System.
  • Phi Sigma Epsilon's practice was to name interest groups and colonies immediately. Because some colonies earned their charter within months, and others took up to four years, this resulted in a chapter roster that wasn't strictly alphabetical when listed by date of founding. The roster today, and this page, is maintained by chartering date, following Phi Sigma Kappa's practice. Buttons on the header field allow readers to sort by state, school, status, etc.
  • Occasionally, a PSE colony was allowed a name that referenced a former local fraternity's original name: Shepherd College's Sigma Chi chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa, for example, which honors their former local name of Theta Sigma Chi.[2]
  • Several Sigma-series names were never assigned, and there are no plans to use them.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Alpha chapter address in 1914: 510 North Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA 01002, where it resides today after a complete renovation at the building's 100th anniversary. This chapter's alumni club is the Alpha Chapter Housing Corp.
  2. ^ a b Alpha chapter called itself "Pi" from 1878 to 1887 because this was the initial letter of the Greek word for "first." Similarly, the Beta chapter was the "Alden March chapter", after the name of the founder of that college. The chapters took the names Alpha and Beta when the petition came from the group that would become Phi Sig's Gamma chapter at Cornell.
  3. ^ The Albany chapter (affiliated with the medical and law college) created a satellite chapter at the main campus of Union College in Schenectady in 1922 with the initiation of the already-solid Terrace Club, formed in 1917. The Schenectady group absorbed the Albany parent and the charter was moved no later than 1930.
  4. ^ This chapter's alumni club is the Union Beta Alumni Assn., PSK.
  5. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k Phi Sigma Kappa's merger with Phi Sigma Epsilon meant the occasional merger of alumni groups on campuses where both fraternities had or previously had a presence. At the 1985 merger, both may have been inactive, or one may have been active with the other dormant, or since that time a chapter may have been re-colonized, usually taking on the older chapter's name from that campus. At Cornell where both fraternities had an active chapter at the time of the merger, the younger chapter was released.
  6. ^ Gamma's alumni club is the Gamma Chapter House Assn.
  7. ^ The chapter formed from the Columbia Literary Society. This chapter's alumni club is the Cap't Kimble White Alumni Club.
  8. ^ This chapter was established by the work of a brother from Delta chapter at West Virginia.
  9. ^ The oldest traditional fraternities (~junior societies) at Yale named their buildings with "Hall" nicknames, by which they wished to be known on campus: Thus Phi Sigma Kappa's Epsilon chapter adopted the name Sachem Hall. Similarly, the Theta Xi chapter was Franklin Hall, Delta Psi adopted the name St. Anthony Hall which spread to their entire small but old national fraternity, Chi Delta Theta (local literary honorary) established the Manuscript Society, Sigma Delta Chi (local) was renamed the Cloister Club which soon became Book and Snake. Phi Gamma Delta was Vernon Hall which later became Myth and Sword, Chi Phi was York Hall, Psi Upsilon became the Fence Club, and finally, Delta Phi was known at Yale as St. Elmo's. ΦΣΚ's Sachem Hall was located at 124 Prospect Street. ("Chapter News: Yale Fraternities Face Oblivion". The Signet, vol XXVII, no. 3, January 1935, pg 112.
  10. ^ This chapter's alumni club is the Zeta Chapter Alumni Association, which maintains a scholarship fund administered by the national fraternity.
  11. ^ This chapter was established through the work of Epsilon chapter and a transfer student from Delta chapter. During incorporation, and while planning to become a chapter of ΦΣΚ, this group took the local name of the Secret Order of the Skull and Coffin, according to The Signet, Fall 2017, vol.CVIII, no.1, p.21. Beginning in 1922, a satellite chapter was established on the College Park campus, eventually absorbing the Baltimore group. The charter moved from the Baltimore campus to College Park in 1923.
  12. ^ This chapter's alumni club is the Eta Chapter Alumni Assn.
  13. ^ This chapter was established by the Council and the work of Zeta chapter at CCNY, with whom they often shared a residence.
  14. ^ This chapter was established largely through the work of a brother from Zeta chapter at CCNY. This chapter's alumni club is the Iota Association - Phi Sigma Kappa.
  15. ^ The chapter originated from Bon Amis, a local club established in 1891. That group became a local fraternity called Phi Delta Epsilon, according to Baird's Manual, 8th ed. This chapter's alumni club is the PSK Association of State College.
  16. ^ This chapter was established through the work of members of the Gamma chapter at Cornell. This chapter's alumni club is the Washington Club of PSK.
  17. ^ The chapter originated with a member of Gamma chapter at Cornell, who had a brother enrolled at Penn. This chapter's alumni club is the Mu Association.
  18. ^ This chapter's alumni club is the PSK Alumni Assn., Nu chapter.
  19. ^ The chapter formed from the "Decemvirs", established earlier in 1902. Establishment as a chapter of ΦΣΚ came from a suggestion to Cutter, from Beta Theta Pi national fraternity leader, William Raymond Baird.
  20. ^ This chapter was established through the work of members from Zeta chapter at CCNY. This chapter's alumni club is the Alumni Assn of Omicron chapter.
  21. ^ a b c Beginning in the late 1960s, several small eastern schools banned their fraternity systems out of egalitarian concerns, leading to alarm among fraternity executives that such a trend would be more widespread. However, their worst fears did not come to pass, and the trend fizzled. Indeed, some of these schools, reporting a marked drop in alumni giving, have rescinded such bans. For example, former long-time Phi Sig campuses Swarthmore College and Franklin and Marshall now allow Greek organizations to re-charter. Nevertheless, PSK's Chi chapter at Williams College fell to the anti-Greek trend in 1966, and remains closed to recognized expansion today.
  22. ^ This chapter had its origin in the Nevonia Club, formed in 1897. It became Pi chapter when encouraged by men from Mu chapter at Penn who aided their induction.
  23. ^ This chapter was started by a Gamma chapter brother, and inducted with help from Xi chapter at St. Lawrence.
  24. ^ a b Greek systems have died out on some campuses. At times when the United States or Canada has entered a wartime posture or a period of significant manpower draft, such as World War I or World War II, weaker chapters of many fraternities have had to close, with some unable to recover after the war. Campus acceptance can vary, making re-establishment far more difficult: Fraternities and sororities remain unwelcome at Queen's University, of Kingston, Ontario where PSK's Rho chapter failed when all members of the chapter died in service during World War I or failed to return after the war. In response to efforts by other fraternities to form or re-form on the campus in the 1920s, the university's student senate banned Greek societies in 1933. Likewise at St. John's College, in Annapolis, Maryland, PSK's Sigma chapter failed to reopen after World War II. Neither school has fraternities or sororities today.
  25. ^ This chapter was started by a brother from Eta chapter
  26. ^ This chapter was established through the work of a brother from Alpha chapter Tau separated from the national organization in 1956 over the issue of racial discrimination and became Phi Tau coeducational local fraternity. Two months later, the short-lived policies that incited the separation were themselves dropped, and Phi Sigma Kappa became one of the first fraternities to welcome black students.
  27. ^ a b There exists some confusion regarding two chapters named Phi Tau. Phi Sigma Epsilon's Phi Tau chapter at Cornell was existent from 1963 until the merger with Phi Sigma Kappa in 1985 when it was released to join another national. The Fraternity retained its much older, original Gamma chapter. The former PSE chapter there should NOT be confused with Phi Sigma Kappa's Tau chapter at Dartmouth, which, upon seceding from the national fraternity in 1956, renamed itself Phi Tau. Name similarity is purely coincidental.
  28. ^ This chapter was started with the aid of members of Beta chapter from a local called the Phi Society that had formed in 1905, according to Baird's Manual, 7th ed. All fraternity chapters at Williams are now closed.
  29. ^ The chapter formed from a local fraternity, Delta Omega, established in 1905. Its alumni club is the Column Club, Inc.
  30. ^ Sigma Phi Sigma was a fraternity of 18 chapters that was unable to re-kindle itself after World War II. Several of its largest groups affiliated into Phi Sigma Kappa, merging assets for the benefit of the combined organization after SPS's dissolution in 1947. These include an exceptionally sound chapter at Cal Berkeley, which merged into PSK's Omega chapter, and most of the ex-Nevada and Wisconsin chapter members who also sought PSK. In fact, alumni of the dormant Wisconsin chapters of both SPS and PSK merged their assets and worked together to re-establish Zeta Deuteron on the Wisconsin campus, where it had been defunct since 1931. The fine relationship PSK enjoyed with SPS at its dissolution was spurred by "notably excellent relations with PSK's Bro. Dean Palm and Bro. Bill Wood." (Bairds, page VIII-23 and "California Sigma Phi Sigma joins Phi Sigma Kappa", The Signet, A Magazine for Members of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity: Vol XXXIX, No. 4, pg 309, November 1947)
  31. ^ Omega chapter was originally the Ridgeroad Club, formed in 1905, according to Baird's Manual, 7th ed. After WWII, the chapter merged with the Berkeley chapter of Sigma Phi Sigma, a small national fraternity. Omega's alumni club is the Omega Alumni of Phi Sigma Kappa.
  32. ^ The chapter gained members from the Iota chapter of Chi Tau, a small national founded at Duke University that had ceased operations nationally in 1929 but whose Illinois chapter continued operations as a local, merging into Alpha Deuteron in 1933. (The Iota chapter of Chi Tau was formed in 1927 but was originally a local called Delta Pi Epsilon, formed in 1925, two years earlier.) They had been neighbors, residing at 312 E. Daniel between 1928 and 1933. Decades earlier, the original local that formed Alpha Deuteron was the Argos Club, according to Baird's Manual, 7th ed. Argos was chartered as a not-for-profit corporation on Dec 13, 1905, according to the biennial report of the Illinois Secretary of State, p.41, accessed 30 March 2019

  35. ^ This is the founding chapter of Phi Sigma Epsilon national fraternity, which grew and eventually merged with Phi Sigma Kappa in 1985. It was formed on 20 February 1910. This chapter's alumni club is the PSK Alpha Epsilon Alumni Assn.
  36. ^ Originating as the Pylon Club, a six-year-old local, its joining Phi Sigma Kappa was strongly supported by alumni from Alpha and Omicron chapters. This chapter's alumni club is the Delta Deuteron Alumni Club.
  37. ^ This chapter's alumni club is Kappa Xi Alpha of WPI, Inc., in honor of their original local fraternity, Kappa Xi Alpha. This predecessor group had formed in 1902, according to the 8th edition of Baird's Manual. It has been suggested to Phi Sigma Kappa as a potential new chapter by inter-fraternal friends at Beta Theta Pi national fraternity after a member of Chi chapter at Williams had previously recommended a local at Williams to that fraternity.

  39. ^ Chapter formed fKappa Phi Gamma, a local fraternity formed in 1907 and existent for ten years, with the support of a faculty member who was an alumnus of Alpha Deuteron. After WWII, the chapter revived with the addition of members of the Wisconsin chapter of Sigma Phi Sigma, a small national fraternity that was at risk of failure due to wartime stress.
  40. ^ Chapter formed from Sigma Alpha, a local fraternity established in 1886. It benefited from the support of a transfer student from Omega at Berkeley. After WWII, the chapter revived with the addition of members of the Nevada Reno chapter of Sigma Phi Sigma, a small national that was at risk of failure due to wartime stress.
  41. ^ The origin of this chapter was a group called the Umpqua Club, founded in 1915, which had changed its name to Zeta Epsilon, in 1918, then sought entry into Phi Sigma Kappa "based on its profile in Baird's," according to the national history. This chapter's alumni club is the Theta Deuteron Alumni Assn of PSK.
  42. ^ The original local chapter name was Phi Delta Tau, which had formed in 1918, petitioning Phi Sigma Kappa under the strong backing of a professor who was a member of Gamma Deuteron.
  43. ^ Original local chapter name was Delta Kappa Sigma, formed in 1922. This chapter's alumni club is K.D. Tech, Inc.
  44. ^ The original local chapter name, the Apres La Guerre Club was formed in 1920.
  45. ^ The original local chapter name, Iota Nu, established in 1908.
  46. ^ Chapter formed from the Embarcadero Club, a local fraternity established in 1920.
  47. ^ In its biggest loss to the co-ed movement which affected some fraternities on a few campuses in the 1970s, Phi Sigma Kappa's Nu Deuteron chapter at Stanford University voted to admit women in 1973, and thus voluntarily removed itself from the national fraternity by 'going local'. This action came just before the reintroduction of sororities on campus due to Title IX. Continuing to this day, its former building was retained by the group, still labeled as the "Phi Sig" house, and is one of many cooperative housing entities on campus. Its co-ed residents are called "Phi Sigs." This group has no connection with the national fraternity at this time. Still, Phi Sigma Kappa has expressed a long-term goal of re-establishing itself on legacy campuses it has lost, such as Stanford

  61. ^ Origination of this chapter was a local called Gamma Psi, which formed in 1919.
  62. ^ a b c 1952's "Bedford Resolution" was one of the reasons that led to the expulsion of Mu Triton at Boston University, which lost its charter in 1954. Similarly, Beta Triton at Knox seceded back to local status in 1955. Hartwick College's Nu Triton was closed for the same reason, also in 1955. All three are today dormant.
  63. ^ Origination of this chapter was from a local called Alpha Theta Alpha (Baird's Archive says it was Alpha Theta Alpha), which formed in 1921. After seceding from ΦΣΚ it became a short-lived local called Alpha Delta Epsilon.
  64. ^ Origination of this chapter was a local group called the Hermes Club, which formed in 1925.
  65. ^ Originating in 1928 as a Beta chapter of local group Delta Lambda Sigma at Indiana State Teachers College in Terre Haute, this chapter shifted its attention to become the fourth unit of Phi Sigma Epsilon soon after that new national fraternity had been created.
  66. ^ Originated as a local named Kappa Phi Kappa, not to be confused with the professional education fraternity of that same name.

  70. ^ Originated in 1929 as a local chapter called Phi Kappa Alpha, not to be confused with locals at Freed-Hardeman University in TN nor at Hope College in MI. This chapter's alumni club is the Epsilon Iota Alumni Club.
  71. ^ The Epsilon Kappa chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa separated from the national organization in 1998 and became a local organization called Phi Sigma Chi fraternity. This is not to be confused with the NY-based multicultural fraternity of Phi Sigma Chi, with which the Stevens Point chapter has no connection. This now-local chapter has disbanded.
  72. ^ Originated as a local, first named Chi Delta which formed in 1914, and then as Mu Sigma Chi, before joining Phi Sigma Epsilon. This chapter's combined alumni club is Epsilon Lambda Alumni Chapter, in honor of the older of the two groups that led to its formation.
  73. ^ Chapter formed from a local society called The Owls which became a local chapter called Phi Beta Rho in 1934. (No connection with the fraternity in the Philippines of that same name). The campus Dean of Men suggested they nationalize, referring the chapter to join Phi Sigma Epsilon.

  77. ^ Originated in 1934 as a local named the Senate Social Club, later changing its name to Gamma Phi. (No relation to the national sorority of the same name.)
  78. ^ It appears that, at the time of the merger, the chapter at Wayne State University of Detroit was forgotten in the lists, probably because of confusion with the similarly-named Wayne State College of Nebraska. The chapter is missing in Hills and Star editions through 2013, missing from Baird's Manual, and only found in the chapter list on pg. 250 of All the Phi Sigs. on p.255. ATPS notes Omicron's (Epsilon Omicron's) charter at Wayne State University was "revoked", clarified on p.194 that this occurred in November of 1952 (possibly in November 1953). This Michigan group had originated as a local in 1922 named The Cheese Gang, later changing its name to Chega. The Wayne State University group may have voluntarily ceased participation in Phi Sigma Epsilon, as in 1956 the group accepted a charter as a chapter of Delta Chi. As to the chapter at Wayne State College, while it was chartered in 1969, records are unclear as to its closing year. The Archive simply notes its closure in 1985, the year of the merger, but this event occurred earlier.

  83. ^ Chapter formed from Alpha Delta Chi, a local fraternity formed in 1945 (no relation to the national Christian sorority of the same name), according to yearbook records accessed 26 Jun 2017. Closure year estimated: The last "Norther" yearbook mention of Sigma (later reformed as Epsilon Sigma chapter), was in 1974. Yearbook commentary notes a severe downturn of the Greek system on that campus, coinciding from 1971-73, which likely was the ultimate cause of the chapter's closure. Alumni of both groups are welcomed by the Pi Pentaton chapter and alumni.
  84. ^ Originating as a local formed in 1922 named Delta Phi Sigma, it became Tau of Phi Sigma Epsilon. This chapter's alumni club is the PSE Alumni Club of PSK, Inc.

They explain that in 1997, 26 active brothers of the Phi Kappa chapter left Phi Sigma Phi and petitioned for a charter to become the Beta Nu chapter of Alpha Sigma Phi (NIC) national fraternity in 1998. At the time, Phi Sigma Phi was not an NIC fraternity. (Phi Sigma Phi joined the NIC soon after; The NIC prohibits such 'poaching' of whole chapters.)

  143. ^ Originated as a local group called the Athenians in 1965. This chapter's combined alumni club is the Phi Nu / Tau Pentaton Alumni Club.
  144. ^ Originated in 1951 as a chapter of Kappa Nu, a small national fraternity that merged with Phi Epsilon Pi in 1961. As both Kappa Nu and an older chapter of Phi Epsilon Pi were present on the Cornell campus, the two groups did not merge, and once released, in 1962, the unnamed Kappa Nu chapter sought membership into Phi Sigma Epsilon, becoming its Phi Tau chapter. (Eventually, Phi Epsilon Pi itself became part of Zeta Beta Tau.) 24 years later, this same chapter faced an almost identical situation, when its new national was merging with another fraternity, Phi Sigma Kappa, who likewise had an older chapter on the Cornell campus. (This was the only campus where both Phi Sigma Kappa and Phi Sigma Epsilon had active chapters.) Thus in both 1961 and in 1985, the group was faced with a merger into another campus group or to disband. They chose to seek membership in Theta Chi, which, according to campus news reports accessed 14 Jun 2017, had in 1983 closed its chapter on that campus. To put a postscript on it, later, Theta Chi at Cornell again closed in 1999, while a brief, 2003 attempt to re-start the chapter was unsuccessful.
  145. ^ Cornell was the only school with active chapters of both Phi Sigma Kappa and Phi Sigma Epsilon when the two fraternities merged in 1985. Phi Sigma Epsilon's Phi Tau chapter was therefore released to join another national fraternity. It opted to join Theta Chi, but that chapter has since closed. As Theta Chi's alumni held another, larger building the chapter's former building was sold to Alpha Chi Omega sorority. More detail on this may be found in the references.

  159. ^ a b The Epsilon Septaton chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa reverted to its previous local affiliation of Delta Beta Chi in 1995. Kappa Septaton chapter likewise ended its affiliation with Phi Sigma Kappa in 2007 to become to the Beta chapter of Delta Beta Chi. Both local chapters are now dormant. This two-chapter group is not to be confused with the small national sorority of the same name

  2. ^ PSK's Sigma Chi chapter's name should not be confused with the national fraternity using that same name. Coincidentally, the earlier, local name Theta Sigma Chi remains in use by several groups: a local service organization at Oklahoma Baptist University, a local sorority at Bob Jones University, a local sorority at Austin University, and a Latina sorority at CSU Bakersfield. None of these are related in any way to the Phi Sigma Kappa chapter.
