Purchased in May 1995 and dedicated on July 27, 1996, the International Office is home to both the Fraternity and the Foundation. The building is a neo-colonial In the facility, each of the chapters is represented by its coat-of-arms. Photos of many of our distinguished living alumni can be found in the Hall of Honor and we remember those who came before us by preserving our history in the archives. The building's classroom is the perfect setting for educational The Fraternity gathered again in Indianapolis on August 15, 1998 for the dedication of Heritage Square. Almost 1,000 bricks bearing names and personal messages line the walkways of the south lawn of the International Office. In an impressive tribute, the flags of many colleges and universities where Psi U has chapters are found in Heritage Square. Library and ArchivesWe in Psi Upsilon are heirs to a rich heritage. In the Fraternity's library and archives are countless documents, journals, photographs, and other resources important to the history of the Fraternity, the Greek community, and the colleges and universities where we have chapters. Among the collection are these items of particular interest:
The Constitution: There are two original constitutions on display in the office. The first copy, lost for many years, was recovered from a rare manuscript dealer in the 1930s. The second copy, also dating from 1834, is inscribed into the original book of minutes of the Theta chapter.
The Psi Upsilon Flag: The original flag of the Fraternity hangs proudly in the office. It was the same flag which flew aboard Admiral Peary's ship, The Falcon, as it crossed the arctic circle in 1894. Also on display is the Psi U flag which Brother James Morrissey, Pi '58 (Syracuse University), carried on his trek up the face of Mt. Everest in 1983. Founder's Correspondence and Badges: In the archives is a large collection of correspondence written by founders of Psi Upsilon, particularly Samuel Goodale, Sterling Hadley and Edward Martindale. In addition we have the badges of Samuel Goodale and Robert Barnard, as well as that of L.J. Goodale, blood brother of Samuel. Psi Upsilon Jewelry: In addition to the Founders' badges, we have a display of Psi Upsilon badges, pledge pins and sweetheart pins to show the lineage and evolution of Psi Upsilon jewelry through the years.
