Psi Sigma Phi (ΨΣΦ) Multicultural Fraternity, the first fraternity in the United States founded under the ideal of multiculturalism, was founded December 12, 1990 at Montclair State University and New Jersey City University. The Eighteen Founding Fathers believed that Multiculturalism is not indicative of the physical composition of an organization on a chapter or national level; it is viewed as a state of mind––a philosophy that embraces any and all aspects of cultural identity with unconditional respect and equality.

About Psi Sigma Phi

Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural Fraternity Inc. was co-founded on December 12, 1990 at Montclair State University and New Jersey City University (at the time Jersey City State College) as a service-oriented, multicultural organization.


At the time of its founding, male college students could join only mainstream fraternities or fraternities that were predominantly Latin-American, African-American, or Asian-American. Psi Sigma Phi's founders created the fraternity to emphasize the importance of multiculturalism in the lives of college students.


Psi Sigma Phi's fraternal goal is to establish a unique bond among men of different cultures. This goal is to be accomplished through hard work, sacrifice and courage from all of its brothers - brothers who together strive to break social fears and ignorance.

Philanthropy

Psi Sigma Phi's national philanthropy is the Kidney and Urology Foundation. Other services participated in on a national level include:

City Year Multiple Sclerosis Walk (New Jersey) Juvenile Diabetes Foundation (Walk) Hyacinth AIDS Walk SHU 500 (Seton Hall University) Food Bank of New Jersey American Cancer Society Valerie Fund Newark Soup Kitchens Dove Services (Seton Hall University) Adopt a Highway Program
