History
About Alpha Sigma Phi
Alpha Sigma Phi was founded at Yale
University on December 6, 1845. Three young men: Louis Manigault,
Horace
Spangler Weiser, and Stephen Ormsby Rhea, all freshmen, met and laid
down the basic principles
of a society that today counts its membership
in the thousands. Since 1845, Alpha Sigma Phi has maintained
a proud
tradition of creating and perpetuating brotherhood for good men coast to
coast. Dedicated alumni
have long preserved and enriched the "Old Gal's"
tradition with a vision for the future that exemplifies the
experiences
of the past. Through the years, many brothers have noted that Alpha
Sigma Phi made a significant
contribution early in their lives. With
gratitude, these members have remained loyal and are supportive of the
Fraternity's future.
Alpha Sigma Phi's existence has been threatened many times over the last
150 years. The fraternity still managed
to pull through these hardships.
Therefore, the official symbol of the fraternity is the Phoenix, the
mythological
bird that rises from its ashes. Today, Alpha Sigma Phi is
recognized as a fraternity of quality and stature. With
over 60
chapters, colonies, and interest groups, and an active expansion effort,
the Fraternity continues to offer
meaningful services and opportunities
to over 2,000 undergraduates and 40,000 living alumni.
