Our Story
What began with a handful of college men at the University of Georgia is now a brotherhood on campuses across the South — men pursuing Christ, building real friendship, and refusing to waste their years in college.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”Hebrews 10:24
It started at Georgia.
In 2005, a small group of guys at the University of Georgia grew tired of watching their friends drift from faith into the empty promises of downtown party culture. College wasn’t delivering the kind of real friendship, purposeful leadership, or lasting faith they knew was possible. So they decided to build it themselves.
They threw their own party — one centered on genuine community instead of cheap thrills. When a couple hundred students showed up, they realized something powerful was happening. Out of that simple act of obedience and heart for their campus, Phi Slam was born.
What began as a handful of friends committed to brotherhood has grown into a movement. For nearly two decades, Phi Slam has multiplied across the South — spreading to campuses including Georgia, Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas A&M. One chapter, one freshman, and one meaningful friendship at a time, we’re raising up young men who know how to lead, serve, and follow Jesus with their whole lives.
At the center of everything is the Great Commission: making disciples who make disciples. We create alcohol-free environments where guys experience real brotherhood, develop Christ-centered leadership, and build a faith that doesn’t just survive college — it thrives.
“Come and see.
No pressure — just good fun.”
Phi Sigma Lambda uniquely integrates genuine brotherhood, structured leadership development, and active campus ministry — under one roof, with the Great Commission at the center.
Transforming college culture for Christ.
Phi Slam’s mission is to redeem college culture for Christ by bringing college students into Godly community that deepens, restores, or initiates their faith in Jesus.
Our leaders cultivate authentic relationships and provide open events that usher students into the local church and into relationship with Jesus.
A generation of college men whose faith is built to last.
Men who reject passivity, lead courageously, and carry the gospel across their campus no matter where they go.
What we believe.
Everything Phi Slam does rests on historic, orthodox Christian faith. These five convictions are the ground we stand on.
The scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are God’s written revelation to man and are inspired, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts.
There is one God, existing co-eternally and co-equally in three distinct persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully human and is the Son of God. According to the scriptures, He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross as the atonement for man’s sin, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to heaven, and one day will physically return to earth in power and glory for believers in Christ.
The Holy Spirit is fully God and regenerates unbelievers and indwells believers, enabling them to live godly lives.
Man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, he was alienated from God. Only by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus Christ alone, can a person be restored to a right relationship with God and be assured of eternity in heaven with God.
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.Hebrews 11:1
