Phi Sigma Pi hosts food drive (The Crimson White - February 20, 2014)
Phi Sigma Pi is hosting a two-week canned food drive to benefit the West Alabama Food Bank that will conclude this Friday. Caroline Armbrester (ΔΒ) said the organization’s work with food relief began during Hurricane Sandy, when one of their brothers asked for help through Facebook, and they shipped 200 cans of food to distribute in the brother’s local community. She said they then decided to focus on the Tuscaloosa area, especially after the April 27, 2011, tornado. “We just want to keep giving back to our community that’s obviously done so much for us,” Armbrester said. She said they planned the drive during the spring because it is an off-season for donating, unlike holiday seasons.
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.”
