History of Phi Sigma Nu

Seven young men, with a vision to bring cohesion and self-reliance to native men on collegiate levels, founded Phi Sigma Nu on Feb. 13, 1996, where they became a recognized student organization on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

On Feb. 3, 1997, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke recognized Phi Sigma Nu as a Greek organization, making it the first Native American Fraternity in the World.

Phi Sigma Nu has come to represent excellence in all areas, as it as dedicated to the founders' vision of leadership, individuality, community, honesty, wisdom, pride, and unity.

ymbol: The Turtle

The turtle was chosen because of its many symbolic characteristics to Native Americans. It is a constant, unchanging symbol that has been in existence for over 175 million years. The turtle has the remarkable ability to survive even when it is seriously wounded, similar to how Phi Sigma Nu displays strength and endurance through adversities, challenges, and changes.
