The members of Phi Sigma Pi National Honors Fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi Business & Economics Fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity and Alpha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity came together to form Syracuse’s first Professional Fraternity Council. The mission of this council is to promote professional, academic and community service involvement of the wider Syracuse University campus through events that showcase the excellence and intellectual diversity of the SU student body.

So how does the PFC start putting its excellence into practice this semester at SU? Through Professional Fraternity Week, from March 18–22. During this week, each fraternity will host an event that is representative of its core mission as well as engaging our student body. See a list of the events taking place below:
