Reflections: A Journal of Psi Upsilon History is a publication of the Psi Upsilon Foundation focused on researching and highlighting the stories behind the members, buildings, artifacts, and traditions of our order as we approach two centuries of brotherhood. Focused both on historic accounts, new research, and history making brothers of the current day.
The History and Archives Committee formed in early 2021 to implement new ways to research and share the stories and achievements of Psi Upsilon brothers. This yearly publication is one such endeavor. The committee hopes to create opportunities for our brothers to discover, explore, and celebrate our Fraternity’s history. Our archives in Indianapolis contain many historical documents and artifacts that stretch from the founding in 1833 to the present day, and in our membership there are hundreds of fascinating stories that link Psi U’s to the history of the United States and Canada.
Evan W. Terry, Epsilon Phi ’93 (McGill University), committee chair, writes “I hope that you are as excited as I am to embark on this journey through our history and to discover, document, and circulate the history of Psi U. I’m sure there will be many wonderful and inspiring surprises along the way.”
