How to Join Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural Fraternity
Every Phiman began exactly where you are now: a prospective brother with a question to answer. What kind of man do you intend to become?
Built differently. On purpose.
There are older fraternities. There are larger fraternities. There are none that were founded specifically to dismantle the walls between cultures, and none that have held to that founding premise as consistently. That distinction is not marketing. It is the work.
Multiculturalism, by design
Founded in 1990 specifically to reject a Greek system sorted by ethnicity. Every chapter since has been built on that same premise.
A real brotherhood
Four years of active membership. A lifetime in the network. Alumni who show up for each other long after graduation.
Leadership, for real
Workshops, mentorship, the annual Phimen Summit. Tangible skills developed by brothers who expect you to use them.
Service, not lip service
The fraternity measures itself in community service hours, not in social calendar entries. Service is the steed that carries the work.<br />
The men we're looking for.
We are not looking for everyone. We are looking for college men who are willing to be held to a standard, not told they already meet one.
If you see yourself in what follows, we want to meet you.
Membership is open to all. Psi Sigma Phi absolutely does not discriminate against any person based on their race, color, creed, ethnicity, religious or political affiliation, sexual orientation, or physical ability. Any undergraduate man in good standing at a fully accredited four-year college or university may apply.

Six questions worth sitting with.
Not to discourage anyone, but because the right answer to each one makes for a better Phiman. Give them a real moment before you reach out.
- Is Greek life the right path for me?
- What are the responsibilities of joining a multicultural Greek organization?
- What is this organization's reputation on campus and in the community?
- Have I talked to my parents or family about what Greek life actually means?
- What can I genuinely contribute to this organization and its mission?
- Am I ready to commit myself to a lifelong brotherhood?
From prospect to Phiman.
Four stages. No shortcuts. Every brother who wears these letters has walked this path, and each stage exists to prepare you for what comes next.
The Calling
Attend an interest meeting. Meet the brothers on your campus. Ask the questions you need to ask. This stage is free, it is unobligated, and it is the only way to know whether this path is yours to walk.
The Squire
Our SQUIRE Program is where serious prospects prove they are ready. It is informal, strongly recommended, and designed to prepare you for what intake demands. Payment plans are available so finances do not stand between you and this path.
- Three community service events
- Three fraternity events
- Parliamentary procedure workshop
- Three mock interest meetings
- One fundraising activity
- Code of Chivalry workshop
- Multicultural questionnaire
- Mentorship from active brothers
The Intake
The formal process by which a squire becomes a Phiman. This is where the fraternity's standards are held firm, where you prepare to take your oath, and where the bonds that define this brotherhood begin to form in earnest.
The Knighthood
You cross into brotherhood. But the work does not stop there. Active Phimen continue through leadership workshops, chapter development, regional roles, and the annual Phimen Summit. The knighthood is not a finish line. It is a beginning.
No chapter on your campus?
Psi Sigma Phi is always looking for founding brothers willing to bring the knighthood to a new university. If you see the gap, you might be the one to fill it.
The questions you're asking.
Your son is considering Psi Sigma Phi, and if he is serious, you have questions. You should.
Psi Sigma Phi is a national multicultural fraternity with zero tolerance for hazing, a structured intake program built around leadership development, and a brotherhood that takes the long view on what a young man can become. Here is what that means in practice.
The brotherhood is waiting.
Every Phiman in this fraternity made the decision you are considering right now. The only way to know if this is your path is to take the first step.
