"A Powerhouse of Excellence"

Psi Chapter History

• The Zeta Beta Tau fraternity founded its Psi Chapter at The University of Alabama in 1916.

• With the merger, on the national level, the Psi Chapter welcomed in their new brothers, and merged with Kappa Nu and Phi Epsilon Pi on campus. This brought upon a "new age" of the Jewish community at Alabama

• Since that time the Jewish population has thrived on the University of Alabama campus, and many Psi Chapter Alumni have been very large proponents of this influx.

• In the Spring of 2016, Psi Chapter celebrated its 100th continuous year at the University of Alabama with a Centennial Celebration, including many Alumni returning to campus. We were proud to unveil a Historical Land Marker in our front yard, signifying our recognition by the Alabama Historical Association as a historical building within the state. Notable alumni were inducted into the Psi Chapter Hall of Fame. The International Office of Zeta Beta Tau presented a proclamation honoring the Psi Chapter for 100 years of commitment to the Credo and Mission of the fraternity.
