The Iowa Beta Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi chartered in 1913. Nine years later, in 1922, the chapter house was built. It remains today in its original location, but the interior was completely remodeled in 2006, and is now in top condition.
Throughout the decades, Phi Kappa Psi had a strong presence on the Iowa State campus. However, in 1999, our strength waned, and our charter was revoked. For a period of time, Phi Psi did not exist at Iowa State, but after six years, it was time to come back. After much hard work, we recolonized our chapter, and on October 27, 2007 we gained our national charter once again.
Since then, we have striven to make a lasting impression at Iowa State, heavily involving ourselves within the Greek Community. We have claimed the titles of Greek Week Champions of 2006 and Varieties Champions of 2008, and are involved in Homecoming and other campus events. In the coming years, we will continue to strengthen our presence and build upon the legacy that our founders set forth.

| Philanthropy | Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity was founded upon the idea of service. Our maxim – the great joy of serving others – is an initiative which we strive earnestly to fulfill every day. Men of Phi Kappa Psi are encouraged by each other, emboldened by their spirits, and guided by their morals. Whether a sick friend is in need of care, or a stranger is in need of help, a Phi Psi will be there to lend his service. At Iowa State, we have taken up support of the Boys and Girls Club of Ames. We volunteer at the Club on a weekly basis, and have two annual events to raise money for it. In the fall, we collect cans from tailgaters outside of Jack Trice Stadium during football games. In the spring, we put on the Phi Psi Shindig, a grillout on Central Campus on complete with burgers, country music, and a mechanical bull. In addition, brothers volunteer their time in numerous other philanthropic works around Ames. |
