Phi Kappa Psi founders William Henry Letterman and Charles Page Thomas Moore
Phi Kappa Psi (ΦΚΨ ), also called "Phi Psi", is an American collegiate social
fraternity founded at
Jefferson College in
Canonsburg, Pennsylvania on February 19, 1852. There are over a hundred chapters and
colonies at accredited four year colleges and universities throughout the United States.
More than 112,000 men have been initiated into Phi Kappa Psi since its founding, and many have achieved recognition in their field. Phi Psis in public service include
U.S. President and

Congress (including 18 senators and

[5]
An active member of the fraternity is a full-time enrolled student at his chapter's host institution at the undergraduate, graduate, or post-graduate level; all others, including members who have graduated or transfer to a school without a Phi Psi chapter, are considered alumni. Men may be initiated into Phi Kappa Psi either by an active chapter, or as part of a
colony that is being installed as a chapter. Members typically join Phi Kappa Psi when a chapter extends an offer to enter into a probationary period known as
pledgeship , which lasts for six weeks and concludes with initiation.
Membership is normally only granted to men who are enrolled as full-time students at a chapter's host institution. There have been three exceptions to this:
1. Alumni of a colony which became a chapter after their graduation, and for two years after.
2. Men who have been of service to a chapter, but not students at the institution.
3. Honorary membership extended to men of prominence, a practice that was banned in 1885.
