"Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence." ~ Democritus ~

The founders of Pi Sigma Eta little dreamt the Fraternity would develop into anything beyond a local organization. It was not established to advance the selfish interests of its members, to dominate college politics or to compete with any rival group. It came into existence through the spontaneous desire of a few kindred souls to give expression to their sincere spirit of fraternalism.

The name of our fraternity is Pi Sigma Eta, it was organized in 1927 at the Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science and then nationalized in 1930. At the time, it was the first and only National Morticians Fraternity. Still today, it remains both as a social and professional co-ed fraternity. To be eligible for membership in the fraternity , students shall have a scholastic average no less than 85% or its equivalent, in their respective college, be of good moral standing and receive an invitation from the supreme council, active chapter and members thereof. The Birthday of Pi Sigma Eta, called "Founder's Day," is celebrated on October 6th. Each year chapters and alumni clubs observe the establishment of the Brotherhood with appropriate festivities most frequently with a Founder's Day banquet.

There are currently ten chapters nationwide, and six of those ten are active chapters.

The name of this Fraternity, Object and Constituent Parts shall be named Pi Sigma Eta. The object of this fraternity is to promote fellowship and individual and collective efforts toward a better understanding of the Funeral Service profession. Mindful of this unique relationship the funeral director and embalmer assumes when dealing with fellow human beings, we strive for the wisdom and compassion to serve others as we would desire to be served.

We acknowledge that continuous effort on our part will be required if we are to keep up with the current advances in knowledge and that by no means should Restorative Art or Embalming be considered finished arts about which no more can be learned.

We pledge our best efforts to inform each other, should we; in our daily work discover methods, principles, laws or truths that satisfactorily solve individual problems in Restorative Art and Embalming. We believe this organization will function best if it serves as a medium of fellowship and exchange of degree be instituted unless based upon the proposition that our members may qualify for higher honors among us according to the contributions they make toward our general and specific knowledge of Restorative Art and Embalming.

This Fraternity shall be composed of the Supreme Council as the Executive head, Active Chapters and Alumnae Chapters.

Mid-America College became organized in 1980, after the merger of the Indianapolis School of Embalming (Kappa Chapter) and the Kentucky School of Mortuary Science (Lambda Chapter). Our chapter is known as the Lambda-Kappa Chapter. We meet every other week or when we deem it necessary and always on the Thursday of the week.
