Phi Sigma Pi, PSP, is a gender and major inclusive honor fraternity at Christopher Newport University with the intent of giving back to the community through social service in both an academic and professional setting. The PSP chapter at CNU, Eta Pi, was founded in 2018 and has continued to grow since. PSP has also recently received an Outstanding Chapter award from their National Office for their campus activities and accomplishments.
President and Initiate Advisor, senior Natalie Cuba joined in the spring of 2022 as a freshman. During her time with PSP, Cuba has served as Alumni Relations Committee Chair, Vice President and Brother at Large, as well as her current roles.
PSP’s Tripod pillars reflect important elements of the CNU community; scholarship,
Leadership and fellowship. “These are all things that someone should get out of
the CNU experience,” Cuba said. “PSP works to ensure that those who want to get
involved have a safe foundation to do so.”
Although she was hesitant to join Greek life, Cuba was eventually drawn in after receiving an email from one of the previous Recruitment Chairs with the opportunity to join.
“I was drawn to being a part of a group of leaders and people who cared about their academics,” she said. When offered a bid from PSP, Cuba didn’t hesitate to join.
Recruitment Chair and senior Soren French expressed similar sentiments to Cuba.
“PSP is a great place to find people of all kinds who are committed to academics but also enjoy brotherhood and service projects,” French said. “Our brothers are some of the kindest, most supportive people I’ve ever met and will go out of their way to make you feel included and comfortable.”
PSP is continually looking to grow and recruit new members. Joining PSP includes making connections both personally and professionally.
“PSP has opened so many doors for me. It’s something that I talk about in every job interview,” Cuba said. “I’ve become friends with people of all different backgrounds and majors who I likely would not have found without PSP.”
