Alpha Beta Chapter is located at the University of Maryland at College Park.  We were founded on March 5, 1988 by Mike McQueney, a graduate student originally from Sigma Chapter. Alpha Beta is the first successful Alpha chapter. Our founding began a rebirth of Phi Sigma Pi after hard times and much inactivity.

Sixteen Alpha Beta brothers were inducted in our founding class and more than 15 years later, we have inducted over 450 brothers. Our chapter holds a self-imposed cap of 70 active brothers each semester. Alpha Beta is an active chapter in Phi Sigma Pi, frequently road tripping and attending interchapter events.  We also host our own huge interchapter event - the Annual Alpha Beta Volleyball Tournament, which was begun by Dave Fries in 1993, is one of the largest single-chapter sponsored interchapter events, each year drawing on average 250+ brothers from over 15 chapters and numerous alumni chapters and associations. Despite Alpha Beta's history of losing the tournament, it is not one to miss! We also travel each semester to visit such chapters as Alpha Rho (Viginia Tech), Beta Delta (NC State), Tau (East Carolina University), Gamma Pi (Towson University ), Alpha Eta (University of Delaware), Beta Pi (UConn), Beta Epsilon (Syracuse University) and numerous others!

Alpha Beta is also active at school and in the community.  We participate in service projects such as blood drives, community clean ups, canned food drives, big brother / big sister and many others. We also strive to support our national philanthropy - Teach for America. Alpha Beta also takes advantage of such scholarship opportunities as campus acapella concerts, tours of Annapolis and Washington, D.C., movies and museums. We build leadership through career and resume building workshops, leadership seminars and guest speakers.
