Events

Phi Sigma holds many events during each semester. The teas give interested students a chance to meet members of Phi Sigma and learn more about what it is like to be in a society on campus. Phi Sigma is the lecture society and puts on several lectures. A popular series of lectures that Phi Sigma holds is the Professors and their Passions series. At the end of each semester, Phi Sigma and two other societies on campus, TZE and ZA, have the Tri-Society Formal. This is great event that brings together the three societies.
