University of California, Santa Cruz
Chapter History
Fraternities have always been criticized in Santa Cruz. Enlightened by this harsh reality, a group of determined young men from the University of California, Santa Cruz gathered together to discuss the ways to abolish these notions and spread Asian awareness throughout the community. With this vision, a group of ambitious young men gathered together at the Cowell Conference Room on April 12, 2008 to discuss the possibilities of an ideal fraternity that would promote Asian American principles, leadership skills, and meaningful truths, with an emphasis on brotherhood. Through an intense and extensive search, our remarkable founding fathers concluded that Psi Chi Omega was the solution to their objectives.
On June 17, 2008 the founding fathers established delta chapter of Psi Chi Omega in Santa Cruz. Through the pillars of Integrity, Perseverance, and Eternal Brotherhood, the brothers of Psi Chi Omega continue to break down the stereotypes given to Asian American fraternities. With the original goals that the founding fathers established, the individual members of Psi Chi Omega have come together to form a brotherhood to carry on the principles that distinguishes our fraternity from the rest.
