Phi Kappa Psi
Phi Kappa Psi (ΦΚΨ), commonly known as Phi Psi, is an American collegiate social fraternity that was founded at Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania in 1852. The fraternity has over ninety chapters at accredited four-year colleges and universities throughout the United States. More than 179,000 men have been initiated into Phi Kappa Psi since its founding. Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Gamma Delta, both founded at the same college, form the Jefferson Duo.
In the winter of 1850, a typhoid fever epidemic hit Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. Many students left school. Among those who remained were William Henry Letterman and Charles Page Thomas Moore. They chose to care for their classmates who were stricken with the contagious disease, and a strong bond was formed.
The following school year, Letterman and Moore decided to found a fraternity based on "the great joy of serving others" that they experienced during the epidemic. Letterman and Moore founded Phi Kappa Psi in Widow Letterman's home on the campus of Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania on February 19, 1852.
The fraternity's first Grand Arch Council convened in 1853 in Charlottesville, Virginia. At the 1885 Grand Arch Council in Columbus, Ohio, a special committee was created to draft a new constitution. The fraternity also decided to prohibit chapters from honorary initiations. The new constitution was ratified at the 1886 Grand Arch Council in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In 1894 in New York City, the Arch Grand Council passed a resolution to oppose hazing for its undergraduate members, becoming the first fraternity to publicly oppose hazing. The Grand Arch Council adopted the Phi Kappa Psi Creed in 1964.
The coat of arms as adopted in 1908 has a sable (black) field, but today it is most often seen as shown in the adjacent infobox. The fraternity's official colors are Cardinal Red and Hunter Green. The badge is a textured bordered shield with a lamp resting on a book at the bottom and an eye surrounded by two stars at the top. In the center of the shield are the Greek letters Φ, Κ, and Ψ.
The fraternity flag is in the proportions of eight and one-half feet wide by six feet high; it was designed in 1916 following instructions from the Grand Arch Council.
The colors are the official fraternity colors and the design is three vertical stripes of equal width, a hunter green in the middle, flanked on either side by a cardinal red stripe. A smaller version is available with proportions roughly three and one-half feet wide by two feet high. The fraternity song is "Amici". Its root dates back to the traditional song "Annie Lisle".
