Our History

Chi Psi was founded in 1841 at Union College in Schenectady, New York. The eighth fraternity founded in the United States and the fifth at Union itself, Chi Psi was unique, being the first fraternity to be founded upon principles of brotherhood and as a social fraternity.

Chi Psi has 32 chapters, known as Alphas, at American colleges and universities. The first fraternity house in the nation was established by Chi Psi in 1854. Located at University of Michigan, the building's resemblance to a hunting lodge began the tradition of referring to all Chi Psi homes as Lodges.

Alpha Sigma of Chi Psi was founded in 1855 and re-founded in 1928 after being forced into dormancy by the Civil War in 1861. Alpha Sigma has served both as one of the strongest alphas of Chi Psi and one of the strongest fraternities at UNC for almost a century.
