ALPHA ALPHA DELTA at the University of Georgia
Description
On May 20, 1841 Chi Psi Fraternity was founded at Union College. While it was the eighth fraternity in the country and the fifth to be founded at Union (Union College is known as the "Mother of Fraternities"), it was the first to emphasize the fraternal and social principles of a brotherhood, rather than the literary characteristics of existing societies. From its founding Chi Psi has had a uniqueness that has persisted throughout its history particularly because it has sustained an innovative tradition.
This innovative spirit has spawned many firsts in the fraternity world. In 1846 Chi Psi Fraternity was responsible for constructing the first fraternity house in America. The undergraduates at the University of Michigan constructed a log cabin in the woods in Ann Arbor to provide a meeting place for the Fraternity, as the faculty was then hostile to secret societies. The undergraduates dubbed the cabin "the Lodge" and this tradition has continued today as all Chi Psi chapter houses are called "Lodges."
The Lodges of Chi Psi presently exist on 30 campuses across America. Chi Psi is known by the fact that it extends to only the very best schools. Chi Psi chooses its host institutions by carefully analyzing the student body, the academic standards, the endowment, the faculty, and the alumni activity of the institution. Additionally, the Fraternity extends only to institutions which have sufficient regional concentrations of active alumni to support the chapter.
