University of Michigan – Beta Alpha Chapter

Phi Sigma Pi came to the University of Michigan in 1992 when all students who were eligible for membership were sent letters and invited to a "Meet Phi Sigma Pi Night." At the next meeting, they wrote the constitution and on September 30, the Beta Alpha Chapter was formed when 104 people were initiated into the fraternity.

The first year was a time of learning. The students had to become familiar with how to run an organization and everyone was busy getting to know each other. That year, general meetings were held in East Quad and committees were formed. These committees include community service, fundraising, social, publicity and public relations. Some of the first year highlights were a toy run for Toys for Tots, a food drive, Habitat for Humanity, and a Founders Day dance with Eastern Michigan.

In 2006-2007 academic year, 28 new brothers were inducted. Below are some of the things we did last year:

• Had our formal at the Michigan Union

• Organized a 5k Charity Run

• Took part in the kids fair

• Had a fund raising happy hour at Touchdown Café

• Played laser quest!

• Held dance lessons.

• Sang karaoke!

• Watched plays.

• Organized a resume workshop

• Had a potluck

• Weekly general meetings.

• And much more!

We had lots of fun! ☺
