The strongest showing of Phi Sigma Pi at the University of Alabama has been with Relay for Life. As a first year team in 2005, the chapter raised over $3,000 for the American Cancer Society. [[Delta Beta Chapter|Delta Beta]] showed great spirit in the team contests and was awarded with the Top Fundraising Team and Top Individual Fundraiser for the entire university. The chapter is again planning to participate and better their past performance. The most fun aspect revolves around events planned by the Social Committee. The social committee puts on many gatherings and parties including dinner nights, a Christmas Dirty Santa night, holiday parties, and the Spring Formal. These social events are the key to our brotherhood, allowing us to fellowship and have fun apart from our usual business and work.
