Chapter History

Founding

The Delta Phi Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi was founded on November 26, 2001, at then Southwest Texas State University. The first ever Phi Sigma Pi meeting on Southwest Texas State University Campus was held on Tuesday, October 9th, at 7:00pm. This meeting took place in the Alkek Teaching Theater (ALK 251) and was run by Hoyt Craver, the Director of Expansion at the time. In a letter from Hoyt Craver dated October 2, 2001 that was sent to all members that attended the information meeting before this date hosted by Phi Sigma Pi, the initiate process was explained as well as the $186 that will cover dues and induction fees.

At the first meeting on October 9th, all forms and fees were collected and officer elections were held at the end of the meeting. The rest of the 6 week initiate process was planned out starting with an organization meeting on October 11th a 5pm at Starbucks as well as the weekly meetings were determined to be on Tuesdays at 5pm. The election of officers went as follows:

President - Michelle Graham
Vice President - Ernie Dominguez
Recording Secretary - Ryanne Francis
Corresponding Secretary - Rachel Holecek
Treasurer - Rochelle Nelson
Recruitment Advisor - Chris Pileggi
Initiate Advisor - Laura Browning
Historian - Jessica Rihn
Parlimentarian - Derreck Reed

At the second official meeting held on Tuesday, October 9th, each initiate recieved a 3 page report compiled by the officers giving a short one paragraph bio of each of them. From this point on these nine officers ran the meetings with contact back and forth with Hoyt. On November 26th, 2001 the Delta Phi Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi inducted its Charter class of 77 members.

Early Years

The Delta Phi Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi received its Charter on November 26, 2001. Starting out with about 60 charter members in its colony, Delta Phi was ready to start making progress. During its Alpha initiate class some members were ready to take on the responsibilities and duties that come with managing and maintaining a fraternity. By the time the Beta initiate class was initiated, only about 15 members remained. These core members stuck together and worked hard over the years trying to keep together with between 15 and 20 members. In Fall 2006 with a fresh and ready executive board the Delta Phi chapter began to grow significantly for the first time. Seeing the chapter hit 30 members, then 40 members, the eboard was excited to see the growth and prosperity of the chapter. In the Spring 2007 the Delta Phi chapter had 16 of its members become alumni, and a few going locally and nationally inactive. This brought the chapter back down below 30 members. Delta Phi has now moved into its 7th year and its starting to thrive. With around 46 active members and 15 initiates, the Delta Phi Chapter is on the move toward bigger and better things. Being the only Chapter in the entire Southwest region to have two chapters within an hour drive. Delta Phi is a prime location to begin hosting some inter-chapter events.

The Active Chapter

The Delta Phi Chapter has 46 brothers. The president for 2008-2009 is Raul Perez.

Chapter Events & Activities

Social Events

In recent years, Delta Phi has started tailgating before most Texas State home football games. The chapter traditionally holds a cocktail party or formal late in the Fall semester, near the chapter's Founder's Day. Delta Phi have also, as of recent, brought back their Spring boat party. It was held once in 2002 as a mixer with Delta Psi, but did not become an annual event. Spring 2007 Delta Phi had their Second boat party with major success and have already labeled it as their yearly Spring event. The Chapter has begun plans for hosting an annual alumni/mixer event for all Phi Sigma Pi alumni and members able to come. Plans are still in progress but most likely will take place in the fall of 2009.

Service Events

Events such has Farmer Fred's Halloween Carnival and Bobcat Build are annual events that the Delta Phi Chapter participates in. A city wide service event is in the works for the Spring 2009 semester. Ideas such as an annual Bike-A-Thon have been tossed around.

Fundraising Events

Breakfast Taco Sales and Fajita Sales in the quad happen at least every semester. While bigger events have been talked about, they have not been the most successful.
