List of Phi Chi chapters
Phi Chi is one of the oldest and largest international medical fraternities of its kind in the world. Phi Chi evolved from the merging of two professional medical fraternities bearing the same name. Phi Chi Society (Phi Chi East) was founded on March 31, 1889, at the University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt. Phi Chi Medical Fraternity (Phi Chi South) was founded on October 26, 1894, at the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky. These two organizations did not know that they shared a similar name when they were founded. On March 5, 1905, in Burlington, Vt., Phi Chi Society and Phi Chi Medical Fraternity, Inc., were consolidated taking the name Phi Chi Medical Fraternity, Inc.
Chapters from the following Medical Societies have merged with Phi Chi over the years:
Original Consolidation
Group | Letters | Founded | Location | Merged | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Phi Chi Society | ΦΧ | March 31, 1889 | University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt. | March 5, 1905 | 5 active chapters when merged |
Phi Chi Medical Fraternity | ΦΧ | October 26, 1894 | Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky. | 18 active chapters when merged |
Later merger participants
Pi Mu Honor Society | ΠΜ | December 13, 1892 | University of Virginia | October 7, 1922 | 7 active chapters when merged, ΠΜ chapter created from Alpha chapter, 6 chapters joined existing chapters |
Phi Alpha Gamma fraternity | ΦΑΓ | March 25, 1894 | New York Homeopathic Medical College | February 21, 1948 | 2 active chapters ΦΑ and ΦΑΓ chapters created from Alpha and Gamma. its Beta chapter had joined as BY in 1921 |
Omega Upsilon Phi fraternity | ΩΥΦ | November 15, 1894 | University at Buffalo | May 26, 1934 | Alpha chapter joined as ΩΥΦ chapter, the other chapters withdrew to join ΦΒΠ |
When the Phi Chi Society and Phi Chi Medical Fraternity combined in 1905, it was decided that when the names of any two chapters conflicted, the chapter with precedence would retain its single letter name and the chapter following shall duplicate its name. The result was to retain Alpha chapter (1889) at the University of Vermont, and name the former Alpha chapter of Louisville (1894) as Alpha Alpha chapter.
