The Rho Psi Fraternity was founded in 1916 at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. In May of that year, a lease was signed for the first Fraternity House, and two months later, the original constitution was adopted. This founding Chapter was later known as Alpha Chapter of Rho Psi.
The Chinese name of the Society is Soo-You which literally means pure and genuine friendship. The objectives of the Society are: to promote and perpetuate friendship among members, to develop congeniality and brotherhood in the fraternal life, and to cultivate the spirit of cooperation and self-sacrifice. The history of Rho Psi and its chapters can be found on the Society history page.
The Iota Chapter of Rho Psi is in the greater Washington area and our Chinese name is 華府素友會.
