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.
