Phi Sigma Pi President Kelsey Pruitt (ΖΝ) leads meetings and oversees event planning.

Delmont Elementary, on Douglas Avenue near Hollywood Street and Interstate 110, received a face-lift Saturday, thanks to members of Phi Sigma Pi (ΓΘ), a coed national honor fraternity for college students. The Phi Sigma Pi members set up the cleanup session through Teach For America, with which Phi Sigma Pi has an official partnership, Stage said. The students — from LSU, Tulane University, Mississippi State University, Auburn University and the University of Alabama — were in Baton Rouge for a Phi Sigma Pi regional conference, Stage said. Stage is the LSU chapter’s regional delegate.
