Chapter History

Founding

The Delta Beta Chapter at the University of Alabama was founded on November 1, 1998. Since that time, more than 200 university students have been accepted as Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi.

The Active Chapter

The chapter is very active on campus working to further the ideals set forth by the tripod of the fraternity. Members serve on committees to further our chapter and the tripod of Scholarship, Leadership, and Fellowship. The fundraising committee works to raise the money needed to operate the fraternity on a daily basis. Past events have included bake sales, stadium clean-up, and t-shirt sales. The recruitment/initiate committee works to actively recruit and train new members to become strong brothers of the Delta Beta Chapter. The programming committee works to provide educational experiences for the brothers. Some past events have included concerts, visits to museums, and stimulating speakers. This committee is also responsible for the public relations and chapter awards. The two strongest aspects of the fraternity are the remaining committees.

The service committee has a very strong and proud record of community service. They strive to put together exciting and meaningful service events. Past projects have included volunteering at the animal shelter, creating first aid bags for the Tsunami victims, donating numerous bags of clothing for Hurricane Katrina relief, sponsoring American soldiers overseas, and raising funds for chapters who have suffered tragedies, including chapters in Louisiana following the effects of Katrina and Rita. 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 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.
