Regional Conference

Regional Conference is an event held annually where all Chapters of Phi Sigma Pi in a specific region gather together to promote scholarship, fellowship, and leadership on a larger scale. Each year, a different Chapter within the region is selected to host the conference at their institution. There is usually a theme for the conference, and the service, scholarship, and social events are usually linked to that in some way. As a part of the scholarship aspect, there are roundtable discussions held that focus on different topics and issues that Chapters may be having. Also, there is a Leadership in Action module held, and Local Facilitator Training is given as well.

The theme for BRIC 2012 was "Arabian Nights." For a service event, Brothers brought in school supply donations for needy children.
