National honor fraternity Phi Sigma Pi spreads awareness of epilepsy (lehighvalleylive.com - November 25, 2013)
Lehigh’s national co-ed honor fraternity Phi Sigma Pi (PSP) held an event Monday in honor of National Epilepsy Awareness Month. The event consisted of two speakers, as well as handing out purple tissue paper flowers and educational bookmarks in the University Center to students, all in the hopes of raising awareness about epilepsy. “I think this event could help the Lehigh community because it will inform students about what epilepsy is and how to react when someone is having a seizure,” said Catherine O’Grady (ΔΧ), ’15, the PSP leadership chair. “We are not raising money for this event, but rather, we are raising awareness.”

While I am a Greek, I’m not a sorority girl. Rather, I’m a brother of Phi Sigma Pi National Co-Ed Honor Fraternity, Zeta Beta chapter (ΖΒ) at Franklin & Marshall College (all members are called brothers, regardless of gender). I joined the fraternity the first semester of my sophomore year of college, and I love it more each day.
