Chapter History

Early Years

The Alpha Epsilon Chapter was one of several expansion efforts during the late 1980s. Despite the presence of two long standing organizations (Abbe Society and Friars Society) with similar ideals on campus, Phi Sigma Pi developed its own niche and soon rivaled other campus organizations in size and familiarity. Much of the success was due to the dedication of the Founding members and the Chapter's Advisor, Dr. Melissa Cichowicz (nee Betz).

The Active Chapter

The chapter currently has over 50 members. The most recent pledge class was the Alpha Upsilon class inducted in Spring 2010.

Alpha Epsilon Chapter, Spring 2008

The chapter's most recent accomplishment was winning the Purple and Gold award for Best Website at 2009 National Convention. Alpha Epsilon chapter will be hosting the East Region Conference in February 2010.
