Phi Kappa Sigma

The brothers of Phi Kappa Sigma would like to welcome new and returning members of the Adrian College community. Phi Kappa Sigma has and always will give young men an opportunity to excel scholastically, culturally, socially and athletically. Phi Kappa Sigma is located at 1234 Williams Street, across from Ridge Student Center (white house).

Phi Kappa Sigma was established by Samuel Brown Wylie Mitchell at the University of Pennsylvania on August 16, 1850. Phi Kappa Sigma was and still is the only fraternity with a college or university named after it: Phi Kappa Sigma Male College was established by James W. Barrow in Monticello, Arkansas in 1859. The Adrian College chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma originally began as Delta Theta fraternity. Negotiations ceased with Delta Theta and the brothers came in contact with James Welch who led them down the correct path towards membership into Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Chapter awards that Phi Kappa Sigma has earned in the past include Best Chapter Newsletter, 1994-1995 and 1995-1996 and Most Improved Chapter, 1995-1996. Our national offers a variety of scholarships and sends two members to UIFI (Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute).

Our members are not only involved in community activities but are active on the Adrian College campus. Our members can be seen participating in Adrian College intercollegiate athletics, football, basketball, and baseball. They also hold a number of leadership positions in groups such as IFC, SGA, Order of Omega. Memebrs are also involved as sponsors for Children International, and coaches for YMCA youth basketball teams.
