In 1849, twenty four years after the founding of Kappa Alpha Society at Union College in New York, the University of Pennsylvania’s first Greek letter society, Delta Phi, was established. Within the next two years, Zeta Psi, Delta Psi, and Phi Kappa Sigma, the one of two national fraternities to be founded at Penn, were founded. Thus began, Penn’s fraternal system, a system that is 170 plus years

strong. Today at Penn there are over forty Greek lettered national fraternity and sorority chapters. Currently, the overall number of students actively involved in our Greek system, comprises more than twenty-eight percent of the total undergraduate student population at Penn.

- Be a full-time enrolled undergraduate student in good standing with the University of Pennsylvania
