Pi Rho Sigma Military Society, Inc.(ΠΡΣ) Pi Rho Sigma Military Society, Inc. also known as the "Krypteian" is a military organization whose membership is made up solely of Active Duty, Reserves, National Guard, Retirees, and Veterans from all walks of life and all Branches of the United States Military. Pi Rho Sigma has five regions and three Phalanxes throughout the United States.

The organization's core values are: Our four tenets are Mentoring, Community, Leadership and Veterans, with three founding principles:

PERSEVERANCE: Each member strives to have steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. "His perseverance with the technique illustrates his single-mindedness"

RELIABILITY: Each Spartan should be in the quality or state of being reliable, to be able to be trusted to do or provide what is needed: able to be relied on the extent to which an experiment, test, or measuring procedure yields the same results on repeated trials.

SOLIDARITY: Each member has a strong feeling of unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest; mutual support within our Society.

History
Founded September 4, 2014 and incorporated September 18, 2014, The Krypteian is dedicated to providing programs and initiatives to accomplish the vision of the four sacred tenets; to becoming innovators in the Society; to being one of the leading Military institutions in existence.

Kryteian Foundation: The vision for establishing the Krypteian Foundation is reflective of the deep passion for Veteran education and excellence that have been the hallmarks of Pi Rho Sigma Military Society since its founding. The Krypteian Foundation is a testament to the care and dedication of Spartans throughout the Society in ensuring that it remains a strong financial entity for the provision of aid and assistance that are consistent with its mission and objectives. Its creation and mission have been one of the best kept secrets in the military community! The Krypteian Foundation is a 501(c) (3) organization and all contributions are tax deductible. Resource Generation: The Krypteian Foundation currently generates income from a number of sources. They include return on investment, annual assessments from the Spartans, proceeds from the Foundation's Gala benefit held during the Presidium, and the personal contributions of Spartans. The cumulative giving of Spartans is encouraged through the Krypteian Foundation's Legacy Awards Program, which began in 2015 with a $1,000 contribution in honor of Pi Rho Sigma's Principal Creator Leonard Le’Doux, Jr.

The Founders, affectionately known as the Three Red Diamonds of Pi Rho Sigma Military Society were no ordinary achievers. Their accomplishments were monumental and an awe-inspiring underpinning to our cause. The Founders endeavored to establish the Society with a strong foundation before embarking on plans of expansion.
