Founded in 1865, the Phi chapter of Psi Upsilon has had over a 150 years worth of tradition making it one of the most prestigious fraternities at the University of Michigan. The chapter house, located at 1000 Hill Street, is a historic building designed by Albert Kahn - architect of many of the classic buildings at the University of Michigan including the Burton Memorial Tower, Hill Auditorium, the Hatcher Graduate Library, and William L. Clements Library.

The Phi share similar ideals, hopes and purposes bonded by deep friendship and mutual understanding about standing together throughout life. Fostering high standards, each member embodies timeless ideals, aims and principles. Each aspire to make a significant contribution to their university, to their fraternity, to their community and to their country; to adopt and fulfill significant life goals; and to achieve the highest moral, intellectual, and social excellence.
