An Alpha Pi Perspective on Being a New Brother


For many people, part of the typical college experience entails “going Greek” and joining a sorority or fraternity.  Heading into my second year at The Ohio State University, I was skeptical; I couldn’t really see myself in such a situation, and felt like Greek Life maybe just wasn’t for me.  Upon insistence from some good-intentioned friends, however,I gave the system one last shot in winter of 2012, and rushed Phi Sigma Pi (after a brother, who was also a friend, recommended it to me).

            When people think “fraternity”, the first word that pops into their head is most certainly not “co-ed”.  Even, so that’s exactly what Phi Sigma Pi is - a coed national honors fraternity, filled with some of the most amazing and intelligent people that I have had the pleasure of meeting while at college.

            As a newly inducted brother, I’m still getting acclimated to all of my responsibilities; but, more importantly, I’m beginning to realize all of the opportunities that Phi Sigma Pi has presented to me.  Whether it be the fraternity’s yearly retreat, or a simple movie night, I have never felt more comfortable with a group of individuals as I do when I’m with my brothers (yes, even the female members are referred to as “brothers”).

            College is a fantastic experience filled with some of the most amazing people, and moments, of your life, though sometimes you need more than just friends; you need people you love like family.  And that’s where Phi Sigma Pi comes in.
