phi kappa psi was founded on the great joy of serving others...
150 years ago William H. Letterman and Charles P.T. Moore were nursing and watching their stricken friends during an epidemic of typhoid fever at Jefferson college. Through the long night vigils, an appreciation of the great joy of serving others came into their lives. Calling a number of others to join them, a Brotherhood was founded on February 19, 1852.
At the time of our founding, Jefferson College was considered one of the "Big Three" in what was known as the "Jeffersonian Cradle." The other two institutions comprising this group, Harvard and Princeton, were of very nearly equal size and equal high esteem.
