A Brief History of Psi Chi Omega
It all started rather casually in the UCSD Price Center. Brothers Rob, Hoai, Frank, Nick, Kim, and Doug were engaged in an intense discussion on the Greek Fraternity system, and the role of Asian Americans in this complex network. The focal point of the conversation dealt with the paradoxical need for maintaining a unique Asian identity, while at the same time being to acculturate into the already existing fraternal establishment. The brothers concluded that an organization with an Asian American emphasis, and an outlook which understands the importance of integration over isolation, could be successful in linking these two cultures. Thus, from humble beginnings, the foundation of a unique Asian American fraternity was born.
On January 24, 1992, twenty-six ambitious founding fathers brought Psi Chi Omega into existence. The brothers of Psi Chi Omega have since been working to establish traditions which promote excellence through integrity, perseverance, and eternal brotherhood. By providing opportunities to expand scholastic capabilities, enhance leadership skills, and involvement in all cultures, the members of Psi Chi Omega strive to achieve better understanding of our unique, Asian American heritage.
