The first pillar of brotherhood at Chi Psi is respect for each other – you cannot have brotherhood without respect. All individuals in Chi Psi – actives and pledges – are treated equally. Interaction between every member, senior to freshman, is respectful, sincere, and honest with one another.

We stress the equality of pledges and actives. Actives and pledges have the exact same living arrangements and Lodge duties. We do not have sleeping porches; every live-in has a room and a roommate. All live-ins, from seniors to the newest pledge, share equally in cleaning responsibility; the Lodge is home to all of us and we all participate in maintaining it.
