hi phi c THE PRESENT Chi Phi fraternity was founded fifty years after the founding of the society from which it takes its name. The latter was begun in 1824 at the College of New Jersey, which later became Princeton University. This order split up during the Civil War into northern and southern groups and later re- formed, merging with two other orders to produce the present Chi Phi fraternity. Chi Phi has the distinction of being the first Lehigh fraternity. Prior to its affiliation with the national fraternity the group was known as the Calumet Club, a dinner club consisting of men with similar interests. The Lehigh, or Psi, chapter was installed in 1872 in the fraternity rooms at Second and New streets. For two years Chi Phi was the only fraternity existing at Lehigh. After a con- tinual search for a suitable location the fraternity established its present home on the campus in 1923. Many well-known sites in Bethlehem were once locations of the fraternity. The Moravian Book Shop, the Washington Republican Club, the Post Office, and the Union Bank and Trust Company were all at one time occupied by Chi Phi. In athletics the Chi Phi ' s main interest is fencing. Three team members, including the captain, are Chi Phi ' s. Cut and Thrust has three Chi Phi ' s, and the president of the society is a Chi Phi. The Psi chapter also has men on the varsity wrestling, baseball, rifle, hockey, and swimming teams. The swimming team and the freshman football team have Chi Phi managers. Chi Phi members are also active in freshman football, Mustard and Cheese, and Brown and White. In honoraries Chi Phi is represented by two men in both Scabbard and Blade, and Alpha Kappa Psi. This year the house began the custom of recognizing achieve- ment among its members by a senior plaque honoring the man in the outgoing class who has done the most for the chapter.

chi psi CHI PSI fraternity was founded at Union College in 1 84 1 . Two years later the group acquired the nickname of Pirates through the execution for mutiny of one of its members. The fraternity has grown so that it now has twenty-five chapters in the United States. The nucleus of the present Lehigh chapter was a group of nine undergraduates who held meetings dealing with literary work in the rooms of its members. The Alpha Beta Delta chapter was formed in 1 894, and moved into a house on Seneca street. The first Chi Psi lodge was built in Sayre Park in 191 5. Last fall the lodge was partly destroyed by fire, with damages of almost $40,000. Plans were immediately made for the reconstruction of the house, the University offering to begin the job with its workmen. Tem- porary headquarters were established at the Hotel Bethlehem; shortly afterward the chapter obtained a residence on West Broad street, where they intend to remain until the original lodge is rebuilt. The Lehigh chapter has been prominent in campus leadership, with a man in Omicron Delta Kappa, one in Tau Beta Pi, two in Cyanide, and a member, the treasurer, in Pi Delta Epsilon. Chi Psi ' s are on both the news and business staffs of the Brown and White, in Mustard and Cheese, Scabbard and Blade, and Phi Alpha Theta. The captain of the soccer team, four men on the cross- country team, and lettermen in football, wrestling, swimming, lacrosse, and hockey are Chi Psi members. The manager of the freshman swimming team and the junior manager of the cross-country team are Chi Psi men. The national fraternity claims the distinction of creating the system of fra- ternity visitors whereby all active chapters are kept in contact with the national office. Alumni associations are active in principal cities throughout the United States. 216 IN THE PICTURE: Back Row: T. B. Delchamps, ' 45; R. S. Clarkson, ' 45; W. H. Hebrank, ' 44; Q. J.
