In Order to Help support not only the community, but
also the nation and its members, Phi Sigma Pi National
Honor Fraternity helps to support Teach For America.

the nation. Since then, Teach For America has impacted
the lives of over 2 million students in the country,

With Teach For America, Phi Sigma Pi has the unique
opportunity to help serve not only the community and
those directly effected educational inequalities,
but also the opportunity to better both Phi Sigma Pi
brothers and the Nation as a whole. In supporting
Teach For America, we all have the opportunity to
help better beleaguered school systems and help
forward the education of children who otherwise may
have never had the chance. We can not only better
these students in this support, but better ourselves
in the process. Through the knowledge of how things
are and how things could be, we are presented with
an opportunity to actually make a difference in the
lives of others.
