Historical Overview - Founding to Present
Founding
Alpha Lambda chapter was founded in 1990 after Sigma (Millersville University) alumnus Gregory Armstrong began attending Temple University's law school. Greg was impressed with the Millersville chapter and wanted Temple to have a chapter as well. Through much hard work, Greg persuaded the national office to establish the chapter.
National chapter representatives came to Temple on November 18, 1990 to introduce students to Phi Sigma Pi. Over 150 students attended this first meeting. Soon after, on December 2, 1990, the first charter class of the Alpha Lambda chapter of Phi Sigma Pi was inducted.
