About Us
Statement of Core Values | Purpose and Principles
Phi Kappa Sigma International Fraternity was founded by Samuel Brown
Wylie Mitchell at the University of Pennsylvania on August 16, 1850.
Phi Kappa Sigma International Fraternity has Chapters in both the
United States and Canada and currently has over 60 active Chapters,
Colonies, and interest groups with over 2,000 active members and 40,000
living alumni.
Phi Kappa Sigma is more than an organization to be a part of during
college; it is a valuable learning experience, a life-ling commitment,
and philosophy of life. Along with the Phi Kappa Sigma Ritual, our
Purpose and Principles state who and what we are as a Fraternity and as
members of that Fraternity. All members take an oath to uphold these
ideals and it is up to all of us to make sure that we, and those who
come after us, learn and understand what it is to be a true “Phi
Kap” and “Man of Honor” and incorporate that into our
Chapters and into our lives.
The theme of our 89th Grand Chapter was "A Return to Our Founding
Principles" and since then Phi Kappa Sigma has been working with our
Chapters to help them re-focus on the Purpose and Principles that Phi
Kappa Sigma was founded on over 153 years ago. We drafted a Statement
of Core Values at our 90th Grand Chapter in Philadelphia in the summer
of 2000, and have started an annual leadership development program
called “Men of Honor.”
In the summer of 2000, Phi Kappa Sigma also completed the last phase of
our substance-free housing initiative joining several other
fraternities committed to providing safe and healthy living
environments for our undergraduate members. We have been working hard
to make sure our members have an excellent undergraduate experience and
graduate to become more than just productive members of society, but
leaders that possess a foundation built on steadfast values and a duty
to help their fellow man.
