Bipartisan Disagreement is about pushing each of us to admit that because we are all fallible, there is value in learning about each other in good faith. Bipartisan Disagreement was founded in 2020 at Northeastern University out of frustration with the state of public discourse. It seemed that any conversation between politically diverse peers was liable to collapse under the weight of polarization. Today, this same issue remains. That is why Bipartisan Disagreement aims to promote respect, tolerance, and understanding in everyday discussions about the world and our roles as global citizens.

Whether it's debating American involvement in the Ukraine war or if pineapple belongs on pizza, we want to create a space where students can listen and learn from one another. With differences becoming increasingly divisive, our school could benefit by helping students communicate productively with their peers about their experiences, instead of dismissing them through the lens of a partisan narrative. These person-to-person interactions are essential to Bipartisan Disagreement, and educational institutions like ours can offer a unique opportunity to promote those relationships and to reintroduce ideals of civic virtue to our country’s future leaders. In the process, we can bridge the partisan divide and hopefully improve education, respect, and tolerance amongst the general population over time.

This is why we would really like to bring the message of Bipartisan Disagreement to BSU and beyond.

For more than 45 years, Bridgewater State University has sponsored the Children's Physical Developmental Clinic (CPDC), a nationally recognized academic program that fosters professional development, service learning, and leadership development. The CPDC affords students from all majors a challenging opportunity to volunteer as clinicians and work with children and youth with disabilities, ages 18 months to 18 years.

In addition, the program stresses the improvement of children's self-esteem by strengthening emotional-social aspects of their personalities through successful involvement in play, recreation and sport activities.

Over 100 students serve as clinicians and group leaders each semester, making the CPDC the largest student organization on campus. Over the years, BSU students have determined that the CPDC not only augments their professional preparation; but, upon graduation, is most critical to them when seeking employment and entrance to graduate school.

Phi Kappa Theta is a national social fraternity founded on the ideals we believe shape college-aged male-presenting students into well-rounded gentlemen and model citizens.

Across all 41 Chapters of Phi Kappa Theta across the nation, "Phi Kaps", as they are referred to colloquially, are known for being the next generation of servant leaders and have been at the forefront of social justice and equitable accountability within the Greek Community and every collegiate community that Phi Kaps call home. Our MA Zeta Chapter at Bridgewater State University is no exception.

Phi Kappa Theta is currently the only fraternity in the American Fraternal system that is considered a true "merger" of two separate Greek organizations. This is due to the nature of a Phi Kap being so strongly based on social equity. Nationally, Phi Kappa Theta was established on April 29, 1959, with the merger of Phi Kappa and Theta Kappa Phi. Both organizations were founded by a group of students at Brown and Lehigh University (respectively) who were refused entrance to other fraternities because of their faith. Similarly, the MA Zeta Chapter of Phi Kappa Theta was founded on the Bridgewater State Campus in 2011 when a brother was rejected by a prominent Greek Organization for being Transgender. Although rich in Catholic history, Phi Kappa Theta is open for membership regardless of one's faith.

Phi Kappa Theta works relentlessly to foster the development of one's intrapersonal relationship to the values and ideals we uphold as an organization for each brother. With a history of an overwhelming portion of male-presenting student leaders on the Bridgewater State University Campus hailing from Phi Kappa Theta. Those who reflect our values and regularly interact with "Phi Kaps" can attest to the impact each brother has made within the community during their undergraduate program.

Membership Benefits
The Massachusetts Zeta Chapter of Phi Kappa Theta constantly emphasizes the importance of reflection and self-evaluation, developing deliberate programming that intentionally factors in one's plans for long-term growth, and promoting healthy communication and relationship building within the brotherhood it serves. Bettering the organization one member at a time.

The key to our success is achieved through two critical aspects. A quality-based mentality regarding the recruitment of those welcomed into the brotherhood creates an experience that seeks to develop each member through the opportunity to personalize their experience to whatever they allow themselves to gain. Creating a myriad of opportunities that allows brothers to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses and crafting an experience that only seeks to develop growth.

The Epsilon Iota chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma was established at Bridgewater State College in 1989. The sisters of Phi Sigma Sigma strongly believe in fostering the ideal of womanhood through sisterhood, scholarship, and service. As an international organization, we believe in high scholastic achievement as well as philanthropic work. Not only do our sisters become leaders in our organization, but they become leaders in their community and professions as well. For all these reasons, our open motto is "Aim High," pushing all our sisters to strive to their best achievement. As a sisterhood, philanthropy is very important to us. Every year, Phi Sigma Sigma raises money for our national philanthropy, The Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation, which in turn supports the Kids in Need Foundation. Here at BSU, we raise money annually for The Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation through hosting a "School Readiness" week in the fall and our Phi Sig Feud event in the spring. Also, for over ten years our sisters have been volunteering their Saturday mornings to assist with the Children's Physical Development Clinic (CPDC) on campus. During the fall, we raise money and travel into Boston to participate in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, and in the spring we, along with many of the other Greek organizations, participate in Relay For Life on campus. We are also proud to host Walk A Mile in Her Shoes each spring, an international march to bring awareness to end rape, sexual assault and gender violence which was brought to campus by one of our own sisters a few years ago. Finally, as a chapter, we find it important to support the organizations closest to our sisters, so our philanthropy chair makes every effort to incorporate other opportunities for community service that our sisters bring forth. In addition to philanthropies, we also keep the bond of our sisterhood strong by organizing various social events throughout the school year. Each year we get together for events such as a semi formal Crush Party, our Blue and Gold Gala to support our Philanthropy week, and our Sapphire Ball. These events help sisters to continue their strong bond during their college experience as well as after graduation. Our saying always holds true: "Once a Phi Sigma Sigma…Always a Phi Sigma Sigma!"

Entrepreneurship is more than just making money, it’s a mindset. Not to consume but to produce. The Producer Club consists of a group of entrepreneurs who all have similar goals in mind. Members of the club will hold regular meetings to network and discuss emerging gaps in the market, help each other in our entrepreneurial journeys, and create a positive and progressive community of enlightened young minds. Together, we will grow and nurture our young minds to become the best version of ourselves. Promoting positive habits and unlocking our fullest potential. Our mission is to instill mental resilience, physical capacity, and financial literacy for the next generation of innovators.

With the backing of the Center of Entrepreneurship and Small Business (CESB), The Producer Club will be regularly collaborating with BSU alumni who have already started their own businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. Mentors are provided through the CESB to further assist you in your entrepreneurial ventures, expanding your knowledge and network with experienced like-minded individuals. The CESB also holds the yearly Bear B.I.D. competition. This competition allows for young entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas to judges in a Shark Tank-styled competition. Three winners are selected from the competition, receiving prize money in cash to help build their entrepreneurial careers. As the community grows, more events and opportunities will emerge from The Producer Club
