ABOUT US
The FAQ
Who we are?
Psi Chi Omega is an Asian-Interest Fraternity that was brought into existence on January of 1992 by twenty-six ambitious young men. Since then, we have prided ourselves through our three pillars: Integrity, Perseverance, and Eternal Brotherhood. Our goal as a fraternity is to intertwine the best of both worlds. -That is to progress and grow through academic excellence, while at the same time, making the best of our college years through social activities. The brotherhood that was born here at UCSD has expanded to the campuses of UC Riverside and UC Davis. With the support of the brothers from all three chapters, the alumni, and sororities statewide, Psi Chi Omega provides the tools needed in building well-rounded men who will be prepared in entering the ¡§real world¡¨ after college.
What we do?
Psi Chi Omega is a social fraternity, meaning we like to have a good time. Social activities involve brotherhood events, socials and exchanges/parties with sororities, as well as community service, such as our annual Halloween Trick-or-Treat for canned goods service with the ladies of Kappa Zeta Phi. However, we do understand that we are in school for a reason, so we also hold weekly study hours, where the Brothers can study and get school work done while in good company. Other events include road trips and gatherings with our other chapters.
What is rush?
Rush is the time in the beginning of the quarter when undergraduate students are welcome to come check out our fraternity and see what we are all about. There is no obligation to join, and all rush events are free for rushees. During rush week, you will get the chance to meet the Brothers of Psi Chi Omega, as well as members of sororities from UCSD and other colleges, and ask questions to see if this fraternity is right for you. For a schedule of rush events, please refer to the rush page.
Why should I rush?
Being in college and living on your own is difficult, and it is definitely not easy to accommodate into San Diego while being away from your friends and family. For the Brothers of Psi Chi Omega, the fraternity is much like a second family, where you always have somebody to turn to and look out for you. In addition, the values that we teach, the pillars that we live by, and the social interaction you will encounter will do nothing but prepare you for your future in the business world.
Do I have to go to all the rush events?
We would like you to attend as many rush events as possible to give you and us the better opportunity to learn more about each other. However, you are free to come to whichever rush events you like, whether it be just one or all of them.
What if a frat just isn't the thing for me?
We are aware of the pre-misconceptions students have about fraternities due to what they hear and what the media portrays. Do not be alarmed by this as we have all had those same misconceptions. All we ask is that you give us the benefit of the doubt and come to rush with an open mind. How can you judge something that you¡¦ve yet to know anything about? -After all, rush is completely free for all rushees and there are absolutely no obligations involved for attending rush events, so it would do no harm to come find out what we are all about and see if it is something you want to become a part of.
Why Psi Chi Omega?
Psi Chi Omega is not your typical Greek fraternity. We do not have hundreds of members nor do we have hundreds of chapters throughout the nation. Also, although we are an Asian-Interest Fraternity, we pride ourselves in our diversity. We have members of all different ethnicities and do not discriminate based on nationality whatsoever. Looking at our three pillars, eternal brotherhood is the pillar we value the most. In the early days of Psi Chi Omega, we had the opportunity to expand into several chapters and become one of these typical fraternities. However, we wanted to have close ties with our other chapters and knew that would not be possible if there were too many built. Our goal was met as our three chapters stay closely bonded, and alumni stay supportive of our organization. Being a part of the fraternity creates not only a social but also a business network to ensure your success both as a student and as a businessman in the future. Most importantly, every brother knows that he has attained a brotherhood stronger than any other, and for that, we pride ourselves as Psi Chi Omega. There is much more to Psi Chi Omega that words will not do justice to. So come out to rush, see who we are with your own eyes, and ask all the questions that you may have. See you at rush week!
