Chi Psi was the eighth fraternity founded in the United States in 1841. It was the first fraternity to be founded upon principles of Brotherhood and as a social fraternity.
Throughout the years, many traditions have been formed by previous Chi Psi members. It is our intention to adopt those traditions and pass them on to strengthen our connection with each other and our past.
