Founded in 1843, the Xi chapter of Psi Upsilon has been a part of Wesleyan almost since the University’s inception.  Psi U provides its members with invaluable opportunities and experiences in self-governance, leadership, collaboration, service and stewardship.  Members enjoy the lifelong benefits of brotherhood, beginning with the experience of living in our beautiful chapter house.

The first of its kind in the country, our chapter house was built specifically for the use of a fraternity, which our members enjoy and bring to life by providing unmatched social experiences for students across the Wesleyan campus.  Psi Upsilon is a privately owned residence in which students are permitted to live through the University’s program housing system.

In 2015, our organization proudly chose to become a coeducational chapter, becoming inclusive to all.  At Psi U, we seek and develop leaders from diverse backgrounds - we encourage ALL Wesleyan students who are excited to participate in our mission to join.  Our mission, above all, is to provide “Lifelong Service to Wesleyan and Society, Far Beyond our Number,” through a daily commitment to our four guiding virtues:

Personal Responsibility
Service to Others
Pursuit of Wisdom
Virtuous Character

Psi U emphasizes hard work and self-governance, without which one cannot fully develop their true leadership abilities. We promote intellectual discourse and academic achievement, artistic and athletic achievement, the development of student leaders, a commitment to service, and the fostering of lifelong bonds of brotherhood.
