The Pi Sigma Fraternity (ΠΣ) is a socio-political fraternity committed to the principles of "Paglingkuran ang Sambayanan (Serve the People) and Paragon of Scholarship". Its members call themselves Paragons. It was founded on August 15, 1972[1] by eight young men gathered at the Molave Residence Hall of the University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City.
The Pi Sigma Delta Sorority (ΠΣΔ) is its counterpart socio-political sorority founded on January 26, 1975. Besides pursuing similar principles and objectives, the sorority aids in the overall women's movement for liberation.
