“ The Psi, organized at Cornell in 1868, was the first of the many fraternities now existing there. During the disagreement among the fraternities in 1878, the chapter published alone its edition of the college annual. The book was beautiful, but the advisability of the step may be questioned. The Iota, at Ca1ifornia University, had the finest chapter house in the country, and is deservedly popular.
The fraternity has an excellent reputation and is widely known. Having been founded by members of the Masonic brotherhood, its internal machinery is a modified form of the Masonic. ”

“ The badgc is formed of the two Greek letters, “Ζ” and “Ψ,” the “Ζ” above the “Ψ;” on the “Ψ” are a star, a Roman fasces, and a small “Α;” on the “Ζ” is a small “Ο.” The fraternity color is white, each chapter having its distinctive color. ”
