Phi Kappa Psi is a fraternity of honorable men, courteous and cultured, who pledge throughout their lives to be generous, compassionate, and loyal comrades. Founded in 1852, Phi Kappa Psi has proven time and time again, to be one of the largest and most resilient fraternities in North America. The Franklin and Marshall College Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, Penn Eta, was founded on April 9, 1860. As we here at Franklin and Marshall College approach our sesquicentennial, it has never been a better time to be a Phi Psi. Following a fantastic spring rush, led by our recruitment chair David Lerner, the brotherhood currently has 30 active members, and is continuing to go forth in a positive direction. We have maintained excellent relationships with the faculty, staff, and members of the College Administration.
Many of our members continue to be involved outside of fraternity life; it is one of our highest ideals, that members remain active on campus. Quite a fair number of our members continue to be House and Peer Advisors, active in the house system, and are recognized for being men of high ideals. Brothers of Phi Kappa Psi are eternally united in their dedication to the highest standards of intellectual, spiritual, and moral excellence.
