About Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural Fraternity
Since December 12, 1990, Psi Sigma Phi has carried a conviction that most of American Greek life was still unwilling to hold: that a fraternity could be for all men, without diluting the bond it offered any of them.
How it began.
Before 1990, a young man in New Jersey looking for a fraternity had a narrow, quietly segregated menu. African-American fraternities. Asian-American fraternities. Latin-American fraternities. The “traditional” fraternities. Each a good home for the men who fit, and a closed door for the men who didn’t.
Eighteen men refused that map.
They came from different backgrounds, different cultures, different stories. And they arrived at a shared conclusion: the lasting bond of a fraternity should not require the surrender of who you are. If such an organization did not exist in New Jersey, they would build it.
On December 12, 1990, co-founded at Montclair State University and what was then Jersey City State College, Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural Fraternity, Inc. was born. A service-oriented, social, multicultural organization with a single, uncompromising premise: one brotherhood, open to all, committed to each.
Three decades later, the premise has held.

Eighteen men who refused the map they were given, and drew a better one. Every brother who has crossed since has crossed in their footsteps.
