TRIPOD
Scholarship
"Scholarship in our organization expands outside the classroom and is par of a larger "always learning" philosophy. Our Chapters hold scholarship events that encourage the spirit of lifelong learning."
Leadership
"The nationally award winning Leadership in Action is a personal/ professional leadership training and certification program that provides Members with the skills to inspire a positive change in all facets of the Fraternity and within their communities."
Fellowship
"In addition to a fraternal culture that develops friendships, it also fosters a sense of teamwork and camaraderie that allows for the local Chapter to plan successful events and activities."
Phi Sigma Pi is founded on a tripod of Scholarship, Leadership, and Fellowship. This tripod allows members of Phi Sigma Pi to become more balanced individuals, participating in society with knowledge of themselves and those around them. Members of Phi Sigma Pi obtain and spread information and knowledge through scholarship, learn to apply professional skills and foster leadership qualities by promoting and advancing the welfare of humanity, and grow to foster non-discriminatory, fraternal fellowship within our ranks. Through the tripod, Phi Sigma Pi brothers become stronger people who work towards a stronger community.
With the tripod in hand, members of Phi Sigma Pi are encouraged and expected to follow these ideals:
1. Have knowledge of Phi Sigma Pi
2. Have a desire to serve
3. Devotion of time and energy
4. Accept responsibility
5. Work with others in team spirit
6. Diligence and motivation
7. Learn to take criticism
8. Ability to face adversity
9. Delegate authority when necessary
10. Make decisions
11. Freedom from prejudices
12. Praise, share, & give credit where it's due
13. Concentrate under difficult conditions
14. Assume responsibility for your mistakes
15. Grow and learn
16. Pass on what you have learned
17. Maintain a positive attitude
18. Exemplifies the tripod
