Objective: Rho Pi Phi is dedicated to enriching the lives of its student members and the lives of others in our local community by providing opportunities in educational and service projects to promote the true meaning of fraternalism. In addition to providing opportunities to participate in social, professional, and community service projects, we also provide a foundation of leadership roles and create an environment for professional relationships and life-long friendships.

History: In 1918, at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, a bulletin announced that students of various denominations or backgrounds could not apply for membership into existing fraternities. This prompted thirteen men and three women to form a society, the Rho Pi Phi Fraternity that was dedicated to nonsectarian beliefs and leadership in the profession of pharmacy. The group grew to other campuses and within just a few years, Rho Pi Phi gained international status with the addition of chapters in Canada and Puerto Rico. Delta Kappa Sigma Fraternity was conceived in the hearts and minds of a small group of pharmacy students at the University of Illinois back in 1921, who at that time, found dissatisfaction with the standards and criteria for admission enunciated by the only other pharmaceutical group on the college campus. On November 24, 1959, the Delta Kappa Sigma Fraternity and the Alumni Association merged with the International Rho Pi Phi Fraternity.
