How long will the Member Program take?
A great aspect of joining Phi Sigma Pi is that the National Membership Program (education program) time commitment is completely up to you once you register. We understand that flexibility is key.

Are there other ways to gain membership?
Yes, if there is an established Chapter on your campus already - great! Please contact the Chapter directly. Check out our Chapter list at: phisigmapi.org/FindaChapter
Looking to establish a Chapter on your campus?
That is the initiative we at Phi Sigma Pi highly value. Phi Sigma Pi National Membership is designed as a three-part approach for starting a Chapter on your campus. The steps for establishing a Chapter are;
1. 50 individuals on your campus pay the membership fee and complete the National Membership Program.
2. Students expressing interest and who have completed the program will work alongside the National Office and other campus Members to prepare a petition.
3. Petition the school for recognition.
