Zeta Psi

The Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America (ΖΨ) was founded June 1st 1847 as a social college fraternity. The organization now comprises about fifty active chapters and twenty-five inactive chapters, encompassing roughly fifty thousand brothers, and is a founding member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference. It has historically been selective about the campuses at which it has established chapters, focusing on forging new territory and maintaining a presence at prestigious institutions: it was the first Fraternity on the West Coast at the University of California at Berkeley June 10, 1870, the first Fraternity in Canada at the University of Toronto, March 27, 1879, and the only fraternity to have chapters simultaneously at all eight Ivy League schools with the chartering of the Eta Chapter at Yale University in 1889 (though this claim lasted only a few years, owing to faculty opposition to the Princeton University Chapter). The fraternity became intercontinental on May 3, 2008 with the chartering of Iota Omicron at the University of Oxford. The fraternity expanded to Ireland in February 2012 with the founding of the Theta Omicron Chapter at Trinity College, Dublin.

Zeta Psi’s international headquarters is located in Pearl River, New York. Its current president is Andrew Nunez, who was elected in 2012.
