The Chi Psi Educational Trust was established in 1926 to enhance leadership skills, promote personal development, reward scholarship and foster positive interpersonal relationships within Chi Psi Fraternity.  The role of the Trust is to provide financial support for educationally focused programs benefiting the members of Chi Psi.  The Trust has four major program objectives: Encourage leadership by strengthening leadership skills and experiential relations through The Marie and Oliver Rowe Program for Leadership Development and The Spencer Leadership Institute; Enrich lives by teaching interpersonal skills and self-development techniques through The Program for The Chi Psi In College, The Program for Self Development and The Program for Career Guidance; Engender academic excellence by providing an environment for recognizing and rewarding outstanding scholarship; Enhance Alpha life through the Alpha Management Retreat. The proprietary programs offered by the Trust are made possible through the support from undergraduates, alumni, parents and friends of Chi Psi.  The Chi Psi Educational Trust is a charitable foundation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.  All gifts to the Trust are tax-deductible to the maximum amount permitted by law.
