===Educational fund===
Beginning in 1947, Honorary Grand Sage Byron R. Lewis (Member of both the ''Alpha'' and ''Phi chapters'') donated several monetary gifts, recommending that the money be used to begin an educational fund. In his name the Byron R. Lewis Educational Fund was established. Its stated goals were to: "supplement the work of colleges in the educational development of students; to assist needy and deserving students to complete their education; and to aid aged or disabled former students who are in need or worthy of assistance." And in 1992, the fund was renamed the Sigma Pi Educational Foundation. Any Sigma Pi member in good standing may become a member of the Educational Foundation by contributing an annual 100 dollar membership fee or $5,000 in lifetime gifts. As such, in 2000, the Foundation's assets were worth more than 2.3 million dollars. The Educational foundation's growth supports Sigma Pi members in their continuing quest for education. At the 2012 Convocation in San Antonio, Texas, Sigma Pi unanimously voted to collect 5 dollars per undergraduate member per year specifically designated for the educational foundation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sigmapiedfund.org/about.php |title=Sigma Pi Educational Foundation : About Us |access-date=2012-05-17 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120421192340/http://www.sigmapiedfund.org/about.php |archive-date=2012-04-21 }}</ref>
