This is the premier Phi Sigma Pi event. Held once a year, this event is typically scheduled for a long weekend in late summer and is hosted in a vibrant, notable US city. National Convention contains Grand Chapter business, seminars, social events, awards and more all together under one umbrella. Brothers from each Collegiate Chapter and alumni worldwide attend and make this event the highlight of year.
Phi Sigma Pi believes that the annual National Convention is essential to the education, enthusiasm, communication, and continuity of our Brotherhood. It is a time-honored event which brings students, alumni, faculty, and honored guests together to enjoy a weekend of activity, fellowship, and personal growth. Brothers who attend National Convention participate in various educational seminars, fellowship events, and service projects with time set aside to tour the local sites of interest. The highlight of convention is Phi Sigma Pi's semi-formal awards banquet where Brothers and chapters are honored for their accomplishments.
The first annual summer Grand Chapter Conference was held in July of 1993 in Millersville, Pennsylvania. This conference provided an opportunity for interested chapter members to become involved in Fraternity business and attend educational sessions as well as meet and discuss issues with other chapters, the National Council and National Staff. The Grand Chapter Conference portion is dedicated to discussing Fraternity business, including amendments to our national constitution and the election of the National Council every two years. As such, it is very important for each chapter to encourage its members to attend in addition to sending the required delegate, who votes on behalf of the chapter during the meeting. Phi Sigma Pi believes that the annual National Convention and the included Grand Chapter Conference are unique opportunities for fellowship and growth which should be experienced by all Brothers at least once during their undergraduate years.
If you have attended National Convention in the past then you know how much fun it is and how great it is to experience the Brotherhood at a national level. If you have never attended a National Convention then you are truly missing out on one of the richest and most inspiring benefits of our Fraternity. All Brothers, like yourself, are invited to attend. It's a great way to learn more about the Fraternity, meet Brothers from across the nation and take a break from work or school.
