Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity is an organization for anyone. It is of the utmost importance within this organization that we strive towards a better understanding of diversity and inclusion, as well as continuous learning and growth for ourselves and others. Living by our three ideals: Scholarship, Leadership and Fellowship, we work to celebrate and encourage the diverse individuals that make up the organization's members. We encourage not only diversity of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and religion; but diversity of thought, backgrounds, politics and ideas. However, our organization will not tolerate negative behaviors and/or actions that cause any individual harm or discomfort, to members within our organization and that oppose our values of Scholarship, Leadership, and Fellowship. With much change confronting us in the world today, it is important that we as individuals work towards understanding what is happening in our world, our country, and our communities and to be brave enough to stand up and say it’s time to grow, learn and change.This organization will always be a group that strives towards equality, justice, understanding, tolerance, and compassion. We plan to implement changes to our bylaws and operating policies by creating a new hate speech bylaw and thoroughly editing and revising our current bylaws to combat negative behavior. We also plan to educate and introduce to our members these topics of today by implementing Leadership In Action (LIA) Modules into our chapter’s operations that focus on ethics, diversity, inclusion, and many more important topics. We plan to work closely with Radford University’s Center for Diversity and Inclusion and will continue to educate ourselves, others and promote growth and learning to all. “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we have been waiting for. We are the change that we seek”. -Barack Obama
