Phi Sigma Iota
Phi Sigma Iota (ΦΣΙ) is an international honor society for students of modern and classical foreign languages and literatures. Its primary objectives are the recognition of ability and attainments in languages and literature and the promotion of a sentiment of amity between cultures with differing languages.
The society was established at Allegheny College in 1922. Phi Sigma Iota is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, and awards scholarships to undergraduates and grants to graduate students.
Dr. Henry Ward Church of the Department of Languages founded Phi Sigma Iota in 1922 at Allegheny College, along with other members of the department and advanced students. Its purpose is:
The recognition of outstanding scholarship and attainment in foreign languages, linguistics, literature, cultures, including the classics, philology, and comparative literature; the stimulation of advanced work and individual research in any of these fields; promotion of international amity. We support efforts to define and apply the principles of academic ethics.
In April 1925, Phi Sigma Iota became a national society with the installation of Beta chapter at Pennsylvania State University. Church served as the first national president. Less than a year later, Gamma chapter was formed at the College of Wooster. The society convened its first convention at Allegheny College in May 1926.
At the November 1935 national convention, Phi Sigma Iota merged with Alpha Zeta Pi, a similar society that operated west of the Mississippi River. Alpha Zeta Pi was established on October 31, 1917 by Dr. Etienne Renaud at University of Denver. Renaud was national President of Alpha Zeta Pi from 1917 to 1930.
Alpha Zeta Pi's first 8 chapters were at University of Denver, University of North Dakota, Washington University in St. Louis, Texas Christian University, University of Colorado, Colorado State Teachers College, Southern Methodist University, and University of Wyoming.
Phi Sigma Iota became a member of the Association of College Honor Societies in 1950. In 1955, it had 47 chapters across the United States.
