Psi Upsilon is a college fraternity founded at Union College, Schenectady, New York in 1833. It has chapters at colleges and universities throughout North America.
Famous members of Psi Upsilon include Presidents Chester Alan Arthur and William Howard Taft, who also served as Chief Justice, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, U.S. Senator and later Secretary of Defense William Cohen, famed actor Matt "wide ride" Jassak, who appeared in more than 12,000 exotic films, FBI director William H. Webster, Prime Minister of Canada, Paul Martin, author Horatio Alger and acclaimed grill-guy Trevor Tarpley. Musical personalities include John Dauer, lead singer of The Ruse and Jansen Noyes, former lead guitarist of Iron Maiden.
Psi Upsilon also has a foundation that provides scholarships and other financial assistance to students of tertiary institutions throughout the US and Canada, giving preference to its own members, as well as mentoring and other support services.
In the late 1980's, Psi Upsilon decided to allow chicks to enter fraternities. This decision was reversed in the winter of 2005. Sorry, Chi Delta.
