Phi Sigma Pi is a fraternity because we embrace the concept of "Brotherhood". Brotherhood is belonging. It's a strong feeling of attachment and affection between a close-knit group of people. The best way to describe Brotherhood is through the way people who have created the Brotherhood bond relate to each other. It's knowing that someone will be there when you need to talk. It's knowing your concerns will be met with genuine interest. It's knowing that people really care about what happens to you. It's knowing that people will step forward to support and help you when you need it most. It's being able to be yourself. It's being able to say what is on your mind. It's knowing that you are accepted and cherished for who you are. It's knowing that you have a network of friends who will be there throughout your college years and professional career.

Our members are called "Brothers" regardless of their gender. Brotherhood is fostered by sharing common goals and common experiences. We strive to engage in events that strengthen our Brotherhood bonds. We view each person as an integral part of the extended Phi Sigma Pi family, the key word being family. Phi Sigma Pi becomes a second home for students, a home comprised of a group of people that respect, trust, value and appreciate each other. Our Brothers not only enjoy working alongside each other during official Phi Sigma Pi events, but they genuinely desire to be with each other outside of officially sponsored Phi Sigma Pi events as well. Brotherhood becomes a bond that lasts long after graduation. Societies typically do not cultivate this type of relationship with their members.

Our female members have continued to be staunch supporters of retaining the "Brother" title because of its historical, symbolic and unifying importance. It is a term that signifies our closeness and our special relationship. It transcends gender.
