Sixty years ago, three undergraduate gentlemen gathered together to discuss the founding of a second fraternity on campus. These three young men believed that the fraternity’s core ideals should emphasize academics. The three gentlemen met with seven other men to form the Charter of Alpha Sigma Pi. The Charter was signed by Gallaudet University president Leonard M, Elstad, on October 25, 1947. Every year the fraternity celebrates its founding on October 25th. Over eight hundred and fifty men have been recorded on the schools of the fraternity. Over the years, Alpha Sigma Pi has held true to its original beliefs, but with an emphasis on Non scholar sed vitae discimus “We learn not for school, but for life.”
