History
Founded by 22 juniors and seniors in veterinary medicine at the Ohio State University, Alpha Psi was established on January 18, 1907.[2] Its purpose was both social and professional.[2][3]
From its beginnings, the fraternity was planned to spread throughout the United States and Canada.[2] The fraternity gradually spread to other colleges of veterinary medicine when students formed chapters at many veterinary schools in the United States.[1] By 1915, it had fifteen chapters.[2]
As of 2024, it had eleven active chapters.[2] Its membership is open to both men and women.[3]
Delta chapter and Gamma chapter became inactive when their host schools closed.
