Okay here goes:
Frederick Norton Freeman and Arthur Chase were cousins. They had been planning a fraternity for about a year. 1855 their friend Egbert Phelps transfered to union college and joined Chi Psi. Phelps and Freeman were both members of a secret society called The Regulators. Most of the Regulators equipment and records fell into the hands of Theta Chi. Freeman wrote the ritual. Phelps kept in contact with them and suggested the name based on a greek motto, and desinged the badge. (Although that last point is up for debate). Yeah. Those guys rocked.
