PHI DELTA PSI FRATERNITY INC.

Phi Delta Psi is a college fraternity consisting of functioning undergraduates, and soon to be flourishing alumni chapters on major campuses in major cities throughout the country. The fraternity was founded at Western Michigan University as a non-profit organization under the laws of the state of Michigan on March 21, 1977. The fraternity also established a little sister organization called the "Sapphires." "Dipped in chocolate, captivated refinement, toasted with beauty. The Sapphires are undoubtedly the most beautiful blacks sisters of Phi Delta Psi. The Sapphires whose dedication, support, commitment, and hard work have always been an inspiration to us. Imagine men striving for change, men looking to make and organization built on diversity, built on being different, built on being unique, then you have imagined the Founding Fathers. Striving to be diverse, different and unique is what has this organization and where we want to be: in touch with the black community. We shall like the torch live eternally.

Phi Delta Psi Future

Phi Delta Psi is not just a social fraternal family. Up to this point in time, our concept is seen as a logical progression from individual self improvement to the larger goal of social betterment for the masses. Education will always be the key, the proven way to break the cycle of poverty, discrimination and deprivation of our rights. Each step in the academic progression is further proof of the educability and hence leadership potential of those at the bottom rung of the so-called, "socio-economic ladder." We are involved in community services and hope to one day be able to offer aid to the under-priviledged throghout the world. Our members have no choice but to be "leaders of men." We are a fraternity with a deinable purpose and definite goal in mind. For we believe, "What we put into the lives of others, comes back into our own."
