For Parents
Welcome, Phi Sigma Phi parents! Thank you for exploring your son's interest in our house.
This page is designed to bolster your confidence in his decision. We are a high-quality organization purposed to shaping young men into honorable, just, and wise leaders. We do not exist independent of and in opposition to your son's studies, rather we enhance your son's college experience through the medium of academia.
Ideology
We regularly preach the order of priority to our members. Family comes first, then academics, and finally Phi Sigma Phi. Ultimately, we are an obligatory social opportunity that should not and does not take precedence over one's studies or family commitments. In fact, we encourage members to take time away from the fraternity to focus on these commitments if we feel it is necessary.
Academics
Our approach to fraternity life ensures that no member should fall behind in their studies. Through frequent, mandatory grade reports, we can catch issues before they become irreversible and provide members with the resources they need. Whether it's individual class tutoring, scholarship funding, or just a quiet place to focus, our brothers have access to many keys to success.
Career Development
Despite our relatively recent settling on the UW Madison campus, we offer a number of professional resources and connections. We train our members to become competitive applicants through cover letter, resume, and job fair workshops. Moreover, many alumni, both in Madison and across the Midwest, turn to us when looking for interns or new hires.
Mentorship
Transitioning from high school to college can be a bit of a shock, especially in a large city such as Madison. We at Phi Sigma Phi take pride in assisting incoming students during this period. Our brothers have combined for dozens of years on this campus and love to share their experiences and insights for the educational, social, and health benefits of new members.
