The National Council of Phi Sigma Pi is composed of seven elected National Officers, chosen from the ranks of the Membership of Phi Sigma Pi. The National Officers serve as volunteers without remuneration, and are responsible for setting the vision and goals of the National Fraternity.

History

The National Council was first formed in 1925, shortly after Phi Sigma Pi became a National Fraternity with the founding of the Gamma Chapter at Bradley Polytechnic University, now Bradley University, on 2 May 1921. Joseph G. Bryan (Alpha 28) was elected to serve as the first National President.

In 1928, Rolla F. Wood (Alpha 39) became the National President. "Wood is credited with galvanizing the National Officers into a cohesive unit."1 Under Wood's leadership, the fraternity began to flourish, and was represented in the creation of the Professional Interfraternity Conference in 1928.

Female Council Members

Anita P. Davis was elected National Historian in 1980 and became the first female member of National Council.

Female Presidents
Tammy Mleziva was elected National President in 2002 becoming the first female to hold this position.
