A Tradition of Excellence

In the fall of 1858, two young Mississippians, both of them Chi Psis from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, were commissioned to found an Alpha of Chi Psi at the University of Mississippi. Before long, 14 of the best men on campus joined the ranks of Chi Psi, and Alpha Gamma was born. Between 1858 and 1861, 46 brothers were initiated, a list rife with distinguished men, including but not limited to future Ole Miss Chancellor Robert Burwell Fulton ’69.

Since then, Alpha Gamma has continued to excel, and was often nominated for the Thayer trophy awarded to the best Chi Psi chapter and continued this high level of achievement throughout its time on campus.
