Welcome to Phi Sigma Kappa On March 15, 1873, Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity was founded by six sophomores at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, now the University of Massachusetts. It was founded on the principles of promoting brotherhood, stimulating scholarship, and developing character.
Since that day there have been 93 chapters founded nationwide, including our Delta Triton Chapter at Purdue, established in 1930.

Delta Triton Raises Money for Special Olympics
2/4/2007Since Purdue is located on I65 near the midway point between Chicago and Indianapolis, the campus is about evenly divided between Bears and Colts fans. One of the brothers saw this as a great opportunity to do some good, and came up with the idea of selling "I65 Bowl" T-shirts for charity. A design was quickly drawn up and sent out to a screen printing company. During the week before the game, brothers braved subfreezing temperatures to sell the shirts outside on campus. In just a few days, the chapter sold over $1,300 worth of shirts. All proceeds from the shirt sales were donated to the Special Olympics. Renovations in Progress1/8/2007Renovations are being made to the third floor old house hallway. Members have been working with alumnus Joe Young to re-carpet, paint and panel the hallway. Pictures will be uploaded when renovations are completed. New Members Inducted12/2/2006Congratulations to our newly inducted members! On Saturday, Chris Bramble, Shawn Whitcraft, John Routon, Kyle Forgue and Bill Ershen were inducted. |
