Psi Upsilon at the University of Michigan
Supporting brotherhood, education, leadership, and philanthropy since 1865
Who We Are
The Phi chapter of Psi Upsilon fraternity dates back to 1865 and is among the most prestigious operating fraternities at the University of Michigan. The Chapter House, located at 1000 Hill Street, is a historic building designed by Albert Kahn, who was the architect of many of the classic buildings at the University of Michigan including the Burton Memorial Tower, Hill Auditorium, the Hatcher Graduate Library, and William L. Clements Library. We are a select group sharing similar ideals, hopes, and purposes through the bonds of deep friendship and mutual understanding. Fostering high standards, each member embodies timeless ideals, aims and principles. Each member aspires to make a significant contribution to their university, to their fraternity, to their community, and to their country; to adopt and fulfill significant life goals; and to achieve the highest moral, intellectual, and social excellence.
Our mission is to provide our members with
Individual development of the highest educational, moral, intellectual, and social excellence
The commitment to a lifelong brotherhood of firm and enduring friendship
The opportunity for the development of leadership skills that can be utilized in an undergraduate environment and throughout life
The commitment to contribute to their educational environment, their community, and their country throughout their lives
