Psi Upsilon at Lehigh University

Now, brothers of the eta proudly present you with our newly initiated class of 2018! Look forward to seeing great things the boys will accomplish!

Happy Founder's Day Brothers of the Eta!

Happy 134th Anniversary to the Eta chapter at Lehigh University, Founded February 22nd, 1884.

The Chapter was originally conceived after George Leighton, Eta 1883, noticed the fraternity badge on a new professor, Henry C. Johnson, Chi 1873 (Cornell) at the campus chapel. Brother Leighton approached the new professor about starting a chapter at Lehigh as his twin brother, James Leighton, Beta 1881, was a member of the Beta Chapter at Yale. Professor Johnson was doubtful at first (he said "there was about as much chance as being struck by lightening") but after speaking with a fellow brother, Walter Freeman, Chi '83, he asked George Leighton to put together a list of students to approach for membership, and the Eta Chapter was soon born...

Thank you for Jennifer from the Career Center to host a resume workshop for our new members! The Intellectual Engagement has always been one of the important values of Psi Upsilon Fraternity.

Shoutout to the brothers of Psi Upsilon for hosting such an amazing "Campus Connector" registered mixer to close the gap between Greek and Non-Greek students!

“At the end of the day,” Cyrus Johannes (President of Psi Upsilon Eta Chapter at Lehigh University) said. “I can take off my letters.”
“I’m really hoping this party is a catalyst and that other organizations on campus will start trying to do the same thing,” Kevin Mittal (Philanthropy Chair of Psi Upsilon Eta Chapter at Lehigh University) said.

'Campus connector' promotes unity among groups - The Brown and White Psi Upsilon hosted a registered party on Feb. 10 with the goal of incorporating different campus groups to promote inclusivity on campus.

Congratulations gentlemen for the Big-Little Ceremony yesterday! Your big brothers will always be there when you need help, and we look forward to seeing the future of Psi U with you guys.

Happy Founders Day brothers!

Happy 133rd Anniversary to the Eta Chapter at Lehigh University, founded February 22, 1884. The beginning of the chapter dates back to a conversation between Henry Johnson, Chi 1873 (Cornell), a professor at Lehigh, and a student George Leighton, Eta '83, whose twin brother James was a member of the Beta Chapter at Yale. The story from the "Annals of Psi Upsilon" states that George saw Professor Johnson's badge at a Sunday service in 1880 and "He asked Professor Johnson whether there was any chance of obtaining a chapter at Lehigh and received the answer that there was about as much a chance of bring struck by lightening." Professor Johnson did speak to some other brothers soon after and reached out to George Leighton to get a list of potential founders. George gave him 12 names, 9 of which became founding fathers of the Eta Chapter.

Brothers of Psi Upsilon wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year!

Guess who won the bed race this year. Psi U think you can race?
