About Us

The Chi Phi Fraternity, as it exists today, is the outgrowth of three older organizations, each of which bore the name of Chi Phi. These organizations were the Chi Phi Society (Princeton Order), founded at the College of New Jersey; the Chi Phi Fraternity (Southern Order), established at the University of North Carolina; and the Secret Order of Chi Phi (Hobart Order), founded at Hobart College. The Princeton and Hobart Orders united in 1867 to form what is now known as the Northern Order and this in turn united with the Southern Order in 1874 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. to form the Chi Phi Fraternity.

Our chapter, the Gamma Theta chapter at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, was colonized in the Fall of 1998 and then later chartered in the Spring of 2002. Eleven men (listed below) founded our chapter here at IUP, most of whom lived in Esch Hall where they met to discuss the beginings of our fraternity. After being chartered, our fraternity has been recognized for many acheivments such as First Place Greek Sing in 2000 and 2003, a Philanthropic Community Service award, and the 2005 Dean's Cup.
