Phi Sigma Chi Mul­ti­cul­tural Fra­ter­nity was founded on No­vem­ber 16, 1996 at the New York City Col­lege of Tech­nol­ogy of the City Uni­ver­sity of New York. Phi Sigma Chi is a mul­ti­cul­tural fra­ter­nity founded by six men, the Hon­or­ables Her­aldo Gabriel, Car­los Lopez, Archer Hutchin­son, Steven Lee, Noah Ro­driguez, and Mar­vin Simon, who sought to es­tab­lish an or­ga­ni­za­tion built on di­ver­sity and unique­ness. Striv­ing to be di­verse, dif­fer­ent and unique has this or­ga­ni­za­tion where we want to be. We’ve formed a union amongst mem­bers of dif­fer­ent races, re­li­gions and cul­tures all work­ing to­ward a com­mon goal to im­prove the state of our com­mu­ni­ties through lead­er­ship de­vel­op­ment. The first step to­ward ac­com­plish­ing our goals was taken with the very first line, Alpha Chap­ter’s Alpha Line. Twenty men at­tended the first In­for­ma­tional Forum, ten were se­lected to pledge, and four crossed. These four were Elton Leonard, Jr., Robert Par­ris, Louis Os­o­rio, Jr., and Robert Laroche. They laid the foun­da­tion for what will even­tu­ally be­come the largest fra­ter­nity at City Tech. Phi Sigma Chi rapidly grew in num­bers and stature at City Tech. More lines were ini­ti­ated and the ser­vice work that was pro­duced by mem­bers strongly im­pacted the sur­round­ing com­mu­nity. What was started at City Tech later ex­panded to Brook­lyn Col­lege in the Fall of 1999. Founder Archer Hutchin­son trans­ferred to Brook­lyn Col­lege in 1998 and helped cre­ate the Beta Chap­ter a year later with the help of Beta Chap­ter?s Alpha Line, Chetram Bal­ram, Abid Hus­sain, Kelvin Barry, and Tyrek Richey. All Found­ing Broth­ers were stu­dent gov­ern­ment mem­bers and lead­ers of var­i­ous stu­dent clubs and or­ga­ni­za­tions. At Brook­lyn Col­lege Phi Sigma Chi sought to stand out from the crowd. One thing that set the group apart was its ded­i­ca­tion to phil­an­thropy and lead­er­ship de­vel­op­ment. The fra­ter­nity quickly started or­ga­niz­ing speak-outs, dri­ves, and cam­paigns to mo­bi­lize the stu­dent body around se­ri­ous causes. In 2001 Found­ing Fa­ther Car­los Lopez set goals on ex­pand­ing to the New York In­sti­tute of Tech­nol­ogy (NYIT) New York City cam­pus. After an in­tense in­take process Founder Lopez crossed one of our fra­ter­nity’s fu­ture lead­ers, Found­ing Brother Fos­ter “Legacy” Bur­ton, III. Found­ing Brother Bur­ton was pas­sion­ate about his vi­sion for this fra­ter­nity. Fos­ter mo­bi­lized the fra­ter­nity to reach to­wards new heights and al­ways chal­lenged the broth­er­hood to do and be more. Phi Sigma Chi is cur­rently con­cen­trat­ing on na­tional ex­pan­sion and tak­ing steps to im­prove our level of com­mu­nity out­reach. We are cur­rently net­work­ing with other Greek-let­ter or­ga­ni­za­tions in an at­tempt to col­lec­tively tackle is­sues of con­cern. With the con­tin­ued sup­port from alumni and un­der­grad­u­ate mem­bers and our sis­ter or­ga­ni­za­tion, Delta Sigma Chi Soror­ity, Phi Sigma Chi con­tin­ues to be that or­ga­ni­za­tion that our founders had in mind.

Phi Sigma Chi Multicultural Fraternity was founded on November 16, 1996 at the New York City College of Technology of the City University of New York. Phi Sigma Chi is a multicultural fraternity founded by six men, the Honorables Heraldo Gabriel, Carlos Lopez, Archer Hutchinson, Steven Lee, Noah Rodriguez, and Marvin Simon, who sought to establish an organization built on diversity and uniqueness. Striving to be diverse, different and unique has this organization where we want to be. We’ve formed a union amongst members of different races, religions and cultures all working toward a common goal to improve the state of our communities through leadership development. The first step toward accomplishing our goals was taken with the very first line, Alpha Chapter’s Alpha Line. Twenty men attended the first Informational Forum, ten were selected to pledge, and four crossed. These four were Elton Leonard, Jr., Robert Parris, Louis Osorio, Jr., and Robert Laroche. They laid the foundation for what will eventually become the largest fraternity at City Tech. Phi Sigma Chi rapidly grew in numbers and stature at City Tech. More lines were initiated and the service work that was produced by members strongly impacted the surrounding community. What was started at City Tech later expanded to Brooklyn College in the Fall of 1999. Founder Archer Hutchinson transferred to Brooklyn College in 1998 and helped create the Beta Chapter a year later with the help of Beta Chapter?s Alpha Line, Chetram Balram, Abid Hussain, Kelvin Barry, and Tyrek Richey. All Founding Brothers were student government members and leaders of various student clubs and organizations. At Brooklyn College Phi Sigma Chi sought to stand out from the crowd. One thing that set the group apart was its dedication to philanthropy and leadership development. The fraternity quickly started organizing speak-outs, drives, and campaigns to mobilize the student body around serious causes. In 2001 Founding Father Carlos Lopez set goals on expanding to the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) New York City campus. After an intense intake process Founder Lopez crossed one of our fraternity’s future leaders, Founding Brother Foster “Legacy” Burton, III. Founding Brother Burton was passionate about his vision for this fraternity. Foster mobilized the fraternity to reach towards new heights and always challenged the brotherhood to do and be more. Phi Sigma Chi is currently concentrating on national expansion and taking steps to improve our level of community outreach. We are currently networking with other Greek-letter organizations in an attempt to collectively tackle issues of concern. With the continued support from alumni and undergraduate members and our sister organization, Delta Sigma Chi Sorority, Phi Sigma Chi continues to be that organization that our founders had in mind.
