List of Phi Kappa Psi chapters

Phi Kappa Psi, also called "Phi Psi," is an American collegiate social fraternity founded at Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania on February 19, 1852. ^[1] More than 140,000 men have been initiated into Phi Kappa Psi since its founding.

When Phi Kappa Psi is extending to an institution that does not currently have a chapter, a probationary group called a "colony" is formed. After the criteria are met, that colony receives its charter and becomes a chapter. A chapter becomes inactive when it relinquishes its charter, or the charter is revoked by the fraternity.

Chapter naming convention

The Phi Psi chapter house at Lafayette College

The chapter naming convention is composed of the top-level subnational division of that chapter's host institution, and a Greek letter in alphabetical order from when the charter was originally issued. For example, the first Phi Psi chapter is from Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The first letter in the Greek alphabet is Alpha. The chapter name is Pennsylvania Alpha. The second chapter was installed at the University of Virginia, so it is the Virginia Alpha chapter. The third chapter was installed at Washington & Lee University, in Virginia, so it is the Virginia Beta chapter. The George Washington University chapter is the only one ever chartered in the District of Columbia, so it is the District of Columbia Alpha chapter.

If borders change, the chapter name does not. Virginia Delta was chartered at Bethany College in 1859. After the Civil War, Bethany College was in West Virginia, but the chapter remained Virginia Delta.

Chapters are named based on when the charter is granted, not when it is installed. As a result, there have been rare instances when the chapter naming convention may not appear to be consistent with the charter dates. For example, four charters have been granted in Iowa. The second granted was the fourth installed, so Iowa Beta chartered after Iowa Gamma and Iowa Delta.

Notes

1. Chapter was founded at Jefferson College, which merged with Washington College in 1865 to create Washington & Jefferson College. At that time, the chapter merged with Pennsylvania Delta and continued under the name of Pennsylvania Alpha.
2. Chapter closed during the Civil War.
3. In 2018, the chapter reformed from the Phi Society which was established in 2015.
4. Operated sub rosa until the fall of 1962 because of the faculty's opposition toward fraternities.
5. Chapter was closed from 1873 until 1880 because of anti-fraternity laws.
6. Chapter merged into Pennsylvania Alpha when its host institutions merged.
7. Chapter's charter was withdrawn by the fraternity in 1900 due to declining enrollment and a saturated fraternity system.
8. Chapter went inactive at the beginning of the Civil War. When the university decided to desegregate in 1872, the chapter went dormant with the withdrawal of almost the entire student body. It was re-chartered in 1884 and remained active until state politics crippled the university to the point that the student body dramatically decreased in size and the chapter closed in 1892. The 1972, it reformed from the Maxey Brotherhood (local), established in 1956. However, in 1991 the chapter was no longer viable due to low membership and it went inactive.
9. Anti-fraternity legislation closed all fraternities on campus in 1912. It was re-established in 1930 by absorbing Alpha Delta Mu, established in 1926.
10. In 1880, the chapter's members voted to leave the college because of a faculty refusal to punish a student guilty of a vicious assault on a member.
11. The chapter went dormant went its entire membership enlisted in the Confederate Army. In 1863, the college was burned to the ground by the Union Army and never recovered
12. Chapter formed from Phi Beta Tau, established in 1858.
13. Chapter membership became concentrated in the law department, and all but one member withdrew or graduated in 1877.
14. The chapter was closed by the university in the Spring of 2016 after a pledge was found dead in the Delaware Run, a creek close to campus.
15. Chapter closed due to anti-fraternity laws.
16. The chapter was chartered at the University of Chicago (now referred to as the Old University of Chicago) that closed in 1886, resulting in the chapter going defunct. A new University of Chicago opened in 1890, and Illinois Beta was revived there in 1894.
17. In 1899, its entire membership enlisted in the Spanish–American War, and the charter was recalled. The chapter was suspended in 2016. Recolonization was attempted in Spring 2020 semester but was not successful due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
18. Chapter formed from the Irving Society, established in 1868. It went inactive in 1877 when Psi Upsilon recruited the existing members into their chapter, a practice that is now prohibited by members of the North American Interfraternity Conference. In 2020, the university "permanently revoked" recognition of the chapter nearly a year after a freshman student was found dead in a gorge after leaving an illegal Christmas-themed "dirty rush" party in October 2019.
19. Chapter formed from Delta Psi Theta (local), established in 1857. After going dormant, it reformed as a colony in 2017.
20. The chapter went inactive because of anitfraternity actions of the faculty. It was re-established in 1908 from Zeta Chi (local), established in 1906. In 2017, it reformed as a colony.
21. Chapter went dormant when its institution closed as a result of an outbreak of Asiatic Cholera. Most of its members did not return to the college and the chapter was not reformed.
22. The chapter closed in 1901 after enrollment in the college dropped dramatically, making it impossible to maintain the standard of the fraternity. It was reformed in 1948 from Gamma Phi (local), established in 1946.
23. Chapter was forced to close by anti-fraternity laws but continued sub rosa for ten years until pressure from the faculty resulted in the chapter agreeing to disband
24. This chapter was founded largely through the efforts of a Phi Kappa Psi alumnus, who was a member of the faculty; after he died, the chapter quickly faded away
25. Began recolonization in the spring of 2023
26. The chapter's members transferred to Stanford University when it opened and became the founders of California Beta.
27. In 1970, the chapter went local and then disbanded. It recolonized in 1977 and was rechartered in 1978.
28. After operating sub-rosa for some time, the chapter failed to receive faculty permission and was disbanded. Most of its members transferred to the University of Minnesota and the chapter there.
29. Chapter formed from Kappa Delta, established in 1882. After going dormant, it reformed as a colony in 2001.
30. The chapter formed from Aeonia (local), established in 1880.
31. Chapter returned its charter and became a local fraternity known as Phi Psi
32. In 2013, the university placed this chapter on suspension following an alleged hazing incident. According to the Morgantown Police Department, a 19-year-old pledge was pushed against a wall and suffered a split chin and broken teeth while doing push-ups and other hazing rituals.
