Chapter History

Founding

Interest in Phi Sigma Pi on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University was first sparked by Sigma Alum Brian Thompson. Brian was a Graduate Student and Residence Hall Coordinator on campus and worked closely with National Office to begin the Brotherhood Education Program. After a year long colonization, Epsilon Eta finally became a chapter on April 25, 2006. They received their official charter at the 2006 National Convention in Washington, D.C.
