Chapter History
Founding
IUP (Indiana University of Pennsylvania) was founded in 1875 as a normal school, a school that educates teachers. It became a liberal studies university in 1965. Now, there are three campuses (Indiana, Punxsutawney, and Kittaning). Three buildings on the main campus (Indiana) were named after Phi Sigma Pi Brothers: Foster, Walsh, and Wilson. Beard Auditorium, located in Stouffer Hall, is also a namesake of a Brother.
Phi Sigma Pi was established on April 30, 1929, becoming the first fraternity on the IUP campus. The chapter's first group residence was on the 4th floor of the Indiana YMCA. On May 22, 1951, Eta's president, Joe Caletvi, asked Nationals to close the charter because Eta was not living up to the National Constitution.
Eta Chapter was reactivated on March 5, 1989. It is the the only coed national honor fraternity at IUP. The chapter's philanothropy is the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
