History of Epsilon Alpha
Sherry Snell decided to bring a chapter of Phi Sigma Pi to Kutztown University after seeing the impact the Delta Alpha Chapter had on her then boyfriend, now husband, Timothy Lebo. The Epsilon Alpha chapter of Phi Sigma Pi was chartered on November 12, 2002 at Kutztown University by founder Sherry Snell and her charter class. Since that time the chapter has inducted over 100 members into the chapter, and currently hosts 28 active members and over 60 alumni.

Public Relations Committee
Our goal is to spread our name across campus and to show our own pride in Phi Sigma Pi. To establish this, we purchase articles of clothing with our Greek letters on them. Occasionally we even host letter making events, where Brothers are able to create clothing items of their choice with customized letters. We also hold informational events such as the hot chocolate table, where interested students may find out more about our fraternity while drinking free hot chocolate.

Rush Committee
Initiate Committee
The initiate committee is currently hard at work organizing and playing out our initiation process for the Nu Class. It is our job to provide the initiates with the tools they need throughout an 8 week program to become the best potential Brothers they can be. Of course along the way, we have to have some fun, so we also plan the initiate retreat and any icebreakers or games played throughout as well. Committee members assist in the initiate meetings and give their input as needed. The initiate committee has the committee head that is also the Initiate Advisor, that acts as a guide and teacher for the initiates. The Initiate Advisor does everything from selecting the big little pairings to helping the initiates meet all their requirements.
Founder's Weekend
EA celebrates it's Founders Day, the third weekend of November every year. It is a great time where Alumni can come back and share the history of the chapter and meet all of the new brothers.
