The Fraternity utilizes a variety of governing documents.  These documents establish the Vision and Purpose for which Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity, Inc. operate day to day.

National Constitution and Bylaws
The first constitution, which established the Alpha Chapter at Yale University was written by Louis Manigault (the Fraternity’s principal founder) in 1845.  The first national constitution, was adopted in 1907, when Marietta and Yale came together to form the National Fraternity.  Since then the Fraternity’s Constitution and Bylaws have been updated continuously.  Traditionally, this happens at the Fraternity’s biennial Grand Chapter.
