Objective: To conduct a fraternal organization for the

mutual benefit of the members; to advance the profession

of Pharmacy, educationally, fraternally, and socially, to

instill industry, sobriety, fellowship and high ideals in its

members; and to foster scholarship and pharmaceutical

research.

Brief History: Kappa Psi is the oldest pharmaceutical fraternity

in the country, founded in 1879 at Russell Military

Academy. The chapter at UIC was founded in 1910, and

Kappa Psi alumni were pioneers in the development of

pharmacy in Chicago.

Recent Activities and Accomplishments: Here's what happened

with Chi chapter last year...Our regular professional

projects included visiting the Pediatrics Ward at the UIC Hospital,

volunteering for Special Olympics, the Diabetes Expo, and Community Health.

We also gather with brothers of Kappa Psi from all over

the country at National and Province meetings, in addition to having an Alumni round table at the end of the school year. Outside our professional aspects,

Chi Chapter is very involved socially. We host the Annual 3-on-3

Basketball Tournament, our annual BBQ kickoff at the beginning

of the school year, and we have in January!

What Kappa Psi Can Offer You: We are a family of people

with very diverse backgrounds that support each other

in the classroom and in everyday life. Pharmacy school is

very challenging and with the support of Kappa Psi you will definitely succeed.

Joining Kappa Psi will ensure that you develop leadership skills, decision making skills, and master the art of time management! Within this fraternity you truly create a lasting network of fellow Brothers that you can always depend on through thick and thin all over America. So with this all that can be said is,

"One for All & All for One!”
