Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity is an evolving organization. New chapters are essential to our ability to thrive in a competitive fraternal marketplace.
You may have a once in a lifetime chance to be a Founding Father of an Alpha Sigma Phi Chapter. Your name could perpetually rest among some of the Fraternity's most prestigious Brothers.
To be a Founding Father in Alpha Sigma Phi means that you have the vision to see the value in true brotherhood. A value that provides generations of men with the ability to learn life skills, improve as men, create lifelong friendships and live a purposeful life.
Not only does it take vision to be a Founding Father; it takes continued purpose and commitment. "The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs." (Vance Havner) This continued purpose and commitment will be full of rewards.
