Psi Phi Columbus is a Central Ohio science fiction and fantasy media fan group. Our primary activities are getting together to watch or talk about our favorite TV shows and movies, and presenting panels about them at
Marcon. We are not affiliated with any other organizations using the name Psi Phi, but we hope someday to help establish a network among such independent fan groups to help keep people in fandom as they move around the country.
Because of the nature of our group, membership is limited to people that one or more of our current members has met in person. This isn't as difficult as it sounds. If you're not sure if you've met any of us, e-mail the list owner and find out. :-)
As to the history of Psi-Phi Columbus ...
It began with the forging of the Fan Track. The Short Lord sought to unify area clubs and evolve their passion for discussing science fiction and fantasy, beyond the realms of Trek. Three panels were given to each club, to extend their wisdom in Trekdom far. But whispers of new powers rising brought forth new discussions. The Short Lord perceived the time had come to raise a new voice - that of the Great Maker. And so was born The Anla'shok, immortal and wisest of all fan groups of Middle Ohio. It was soon joined by The Peacekeepers, The Scoobies, The Browncoats and more, in hopes of bringing light to a world that had grown full of peril. And reruns. And sequels.
History became legend, legend became myth. And so a new Fellowship was formed: Psi-Phi Columbus. For the Fan Track had been transformed into the Media Track, to insure fans who had become friends should not forget what brings them together.
