History[]

Phi Pi Phi was founded on November 15, 1915[1] at Northwestern University as a graduate only fraternity. In 1923, it became an undergraduate college fraternity and grew to twenty-one chapters by 1930, however only seven were active. Discussions took place between Phi Pi Phi and Alpha Sigma Phi during 1937 and into 1938. The merger that took place in 1939 had five chapters join Alpha Sigma Phi: Case Institute of Technology, Baldwin Wallace College, Westminster College, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Purdue University. The chapter at University of Mississippi was originally planned to be part of the merger, but failed before initiation.[2] Special initiations of Phi Pi Phi alumni took place from the time of the merger until 1944.[3]

It joined the National Interfraternity Conference as a Junior member during early November 1924.[4]
