The Beta Rho Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi
Phi Sigma Pi is a co-ed national honors fraternity. We hold rush each semester and currently have almost 80 members. Our tripod is based on scholarship, leadership, and fellowship. We are a well rounded group of people who pride ourselves on our diversity. Phi Sigma Pi is one-third honor society, one-third service organization and one-third social fraternity; we seek to incorporate the best and most beneficial aspects of all of these types of organizations into its own program. By balancing this tripod of organizations, our members achieve success as scholars and professionals.
The question we get asked the most is "what is the difference between an honors fraternity and an honors society?" The essential difference between an honor fraternity and an honor society is that an honor society is an association rather than an organization and it functions mainly to recognize the past academic achievements of its potential members.
The honor fraternity seeks to cultivate the strengths of its members in order to better serve the community in which it operates, both presently and in the future. In Phi Sigma Pi, while we do celebrate your past success and hold our members to high standards of excellence, we challenge our members to grow in three different directions: scholarship, leadership, and fellowship.
Success in life is not simply dependent upon what you know, but also who you know and Phi Sigma Pi offers its members a unique opportunity to meet people both at JMU and at other colleges and universities across the country who have achieved similar academic status in a variety of majors and backgrounds.
