History

Phi Sigma Nu is a Native American fraternity founded on February 13, 1996 at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.[1][2] It is the first national Native American Indian fraternity to be formed in the United States.[1][2]

The Fraternity is governed by a National Chief Council, an elected body of national officers presided over by a Chief President. The current Chief President is Dr. Lawrence T. Locklear.[3][4]

Traditions

The Mission Statement of Phi Sigma Nu is:

We, the Brothers of Phi Sigma Nu, empower Native Men to collectively engage in academic, social, cultural and physical realms to promote and inspire growth in tribal families, tribal communities, the United States of America and the world at large.

The Motto of Phi Sigma Nu is "Men of Valor. Men of Pride."

The Fraternity's seven founding Principles are:[4]

  • Leadership
  • Individuality
  • Community
  • Honesty
  • Wisdom
  • Pride
  • Unity

The fraternity uses no alcohol in its ceremonies or initiation, as these ceremonies are viewed as a purifying processes.[1]

The Fraternity is recognized by the Association of Fraternity/Sorority Advisors.[5]

As of August 29, 2020 the Fraternity reports it has more than 400 brothers representing more than 55 tribes.[6]
