Members (also Brothers) are persons who have been inducted by a Collegiate Chapter after fulfilling all initiation requirements. Once inducted, membership is unending, even in death, unless terminated through resignation or expulsion. There are three general classes of membership: Active Members, Alumni Members, and Honorary Members.
The term Members is synonymous within Phi Sigma Pi with the term Brothers. Most chapters use the term Brother to identify both male and female Members. The designations Brothers and Sisters is used by a small minority of chapters to differentiate between male and female Members.

View main article: Honorary Members
Honorary Members (also Honorary Brothers) of Phi Sigma Pi are persons of character who are not otherwise eligible for Membership, but have been recognized by a Collegiate Chapter, Alumni Chapter or the National Council as upholding the highest values of Phi Sigma Pi. Candidates for Honorary Membership must have performed outstanding service to a Chapter or to the community at large, and are inducted as Honorary Members through the use of the Ritual Ceremony. Honorary Members enjoy rights and privileges associated with Membership in general, but are not subject to the same requirements as other Classes of Membership (i.e. Active Members or Alumni Members).
