History
The National Council was first formed in 1925, shortly after Phi Sigma Pi became a National Fraternity with the founding of the Gamma Chapter at Bradley Polytechnic University, now Bradley University, on May 2, 1921. Joseph G. Bryan (Α 28) was elected to serve as the first National President.
In 1928, Rolla F. Wood (Α 39) became the National President. "Wood is credited with galvanizing the National Officers into a cohesive unit."1 Under Wood's leadership, the fraternity began to flourish, and was represented in the creation of the Professional Interfraternity Conference in 1928.
Female Council Members
Anita P. Davis was elected National Historian in 1980 and became the first female member of National Council.
Female Presidents
