Colorado Alpha Chapter
Students (Formally the Friars Fraternity 1914)
The Colorado Alpha chapter of Phi Kappa Psi was founded in 1914. Over one hundred years of tradition, ritual, and brothers have passed through our house. We are currently made up of brothers from 32 different states, 8 countries, and 4 continents. We as an organization pride ourselves on fostering leadership and providing expansive opportunities. A huge pillar for our fraternity is our philanthropic efforts from volunteering and donating our time to doing fundraisers and raising money for honorable causes. Being a member of Phi Kappa Psi is a unique experience unlike any other fraternity in the world; it will connect you to not only the Colorado Greek community but brothers across the world.
