Service is at the core of what we do, and it is a big reason why our actions stand out in a crowd and attract the best. This means that Phi Psi obeys the law, acts in a manner that brings honor not just to themselves but to Phi Psis everywhere, and protects those who cannot defend themselves. Phi Psi use their collective influence to hold themselves to being men of excellence who behave responsibly. Caring for our community is an ideal that started and remains with the founding of our fraternity. Our belief of service to one’s community helps us develop men of integrity and is a great compliment to our college education. “The Great Joy of Serving Others” is our motto. The ideals formed that February are now shared and passed on to future Phi Psi’s. The fraternity continued to flourish and now has over 105 chapters with 77,000 living members. This date is celebrated today by Phi Kappa Psi chapters on campuses and by alumni associations all over The United States. The founding date of Phi Kappa Psi was February 19, 1852.
While this service to others flourished, they asked others to join them and formed the Brotherhood of what today is Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. While these two students were nursing their stricken student friends during an epidemic of typhoid fever, an appreciation of the great joy of serving others developed in their lives. 170 years ago, in 1852, William Henry Letterman and Charles Page Thomas Moore were college students at Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Pennsyslvania.
