See you in the Fall!
With the semester coming to an end, we would like to remind you that our offices will be closed for the summer.
Don't forget that before the Spring Semester ends, we still have the Phi Eta Sigma Open House on Wednesday the 27th of April from 1-4 PM, so as to allow members to pick up their membership materials.
For returning members, don't forget to keep an eye on your FSU email! We have great summer opportunities heading your way and your email is where to find all of the information.
Good Luck on Finals and congratulations to all of our seniors!
Phi Eta Sigma will be holding their annual general member's meeting on October 15.

On February 12, 2014, Phi Eta Sigma participated in the FSU Battle of the Brains, sponsored by the Council of Honor Societies. Phi Eta Sigma sent 4 different teams, and one of our teams, Phi Eta Sigma Gold, won first place against nearly 20 other teams! This is our second win in a row! It was a heated competition and PES-Gold was down until the final question and only won by 20 points. The team was composed of Jake Jarczynski, Amanda Ramon, Michelle Sauer, Tatiana Perez, and Sean Freeman. We hope to come back next year and defend our title!
We hope everyone is excited for Phi Eta Sigma week!

After hearing that the FSU Dean of Student’s Food Pantry, a donation based collection of non-perishable food items for less fortunate students, was running low on donations, our chapter decided to take the initiative to help. Our Service and Outreach Committee, composed of 15 Leadership Council members eager to help our students through academic and social service, created a competitive Canned Food Drive amongst the other committees to help out the Dean of Student’s Food Pantry. Each committee competed against each other, and the committee with the most items donated was rewarded with a pizza party. In the end, we collected over 300 items for the Food Pantry. The amount of support we received, not only from our highly generous (and competitive) members, but from other advisors and faculty that heard of our contributions, was truly remarkable. Each week we turned in our donations, and each week, the faculty in charge of overseeing the Food Pantry were more than appreciative. Our food was quickly consumed; a humbling experience as we realized how much the students truly needed our help. Our chapter is full of generous and selfless leaders who strive to better not just themselves, but our campus and community as a whole.

One of the main goals of the Service and Outreach committee is to provide academic service to other students on campus. Each semester we hold a Tutoring Extravaganza for both midterms and finals weeks. Reaching out to our Leadership Council and general members, we gather volunteers to donate time to students who need help with their classes. We were able to tutor for nearly every class, including math courses, economics, sciences, and even courses such as American Sign Language and Spanish. Our diverse and eclectic members are able to assist these students in a relaxed setting. Coffee and snacks are provided!
Did you know? Our chapter won over $25,000 in scholarships from the National Phi Eta Sigma. This is one of the highest amounts awarded to a single chapter from around the country. Our chapter is proud to announce once again will be nominating four outstanding candidates to apply for the national scholarships!
