About

OUR MISSION

The mission of Psi Phi Delta Fraternity (Psi Phi) is to maintain the highest levels of integrity and innovation in promoting Brotherhood, scholastic excellence, and philanthropy / community service, while creating lifelong relationships.

We strive to encourage one another in the pursuit of knowledge, promote the moral and social culture of our Members, preserve the dignity of the Fraternity by renouncing negative, hurtful behavior in any form, and actively participate in All Greek Council for the betterment of SUNY Potsdam.

Focused on Diversity in Greek Life, Psi Phi Delta is looking for interested male and male-identifying students.

WHY JOIN PSI PHI?

Students come to college to learn and earn a degree. For many it’s also the first time living away from home for an extended period.

There are lots of student organizations you can join, and most are focused on a specific interest, such as gaming, writing, or sports.

Psi Phi’s focus is in-person friendship. Our Members have diverse interests, but we learn about one another and form friendships through the New Member Education process, which is filled with positive, fun, and challenging shared experiences. These friendships culminate in Brotherhood, which transcends college and lasts for a lifetime.

As a Brother of Psi Phi Delta you’ll learn how the Fraternity functions. You can hold leadership positions and acquire interpersonal skills that will serve you long into the future.

Your Psi Phi bond will also strengthen your future ties to SUNY Potsdam. Many of our Alumni serve as mentors to the Active Membership. Fraternities and Sororities are also heavily represented at Reunion Weekend every July, where Brothers and Sisters from all eras get together, reminisce, and share what’s going on in their lives.

OUR HISTORY

Psi Phi Delta Fraternity traces its roots back to 1920 when Psi Phi Alpha was founded in Binghamton, NY. Psi Phi Beta was founded at Buffalo State in 1921, and Psi Phi Gamma was founded at SUNY Oswego in 1923. Psi Phi Delta was founded at SUNY Potsdam in 1948 by a group of Crane students who visited the Psi Phi Gamma Chapter House in Oswego.

Along with all other college Fraternities and Sororities operating in New York, the Chapters of Psi Phi were formally disassociated from one another by the State in the 1950’s. By the early 70’s, Psi Phi Alpha and Psi Phi Beta had shut down. Psi Phi Gamma remains active in Oswego today.

Psi Phi Delta maintained a strong base of membership and campus involvement through the early 2000’s, but the Chapter lost recognition in 2011. We are excited to be relaunching in the 2023-24 school year!
