Lyrics
Bound by the ties of friendship
Bound by the ties of truth
Ideals to show us service
Love and loyalty
For you is service, honor
To keep your standard true
Through all the years together
We pledge our lives to you
Brothers Are We in Phi Sigma Pi
Knowledge the teacher, skill the means of life
Fellowship ever to live or die
Brothers Are We forever, Phi Sigma Pi
Words by Edward Ingraham
Music by Charles Darrin
