Kappa Psi was founded on May 30, 1879 at the Russel Military Academy in New Haven Conneticut following a football game against Cheshire. The organization, founded by F Harvey Smith, began as a secret Greek Letter Society. On November 30th of the same year, a second Chapter was formed at yet another football game against Cheshire. These were the only two chapters of Kappa Psi until 1894, when a third Chapter was started at Hillhouse Academy in New Hampshire. Originally, the Fraternity consisted of both Medical Students and Pharmacy Students. This was the case until 1924 when the Fraternity split into two distinct groups after 3 years of deliberation. The Medical student body became what is now known as Theta Kappa Psi, and the Pharmacy students retained the original letters of Kappa Psi. Great leadership and determination led to a strong and well organized fraternity of 30 chapters within two years. Since then, Kappa Psi has been the largest and most successful Pharmaceutical Fraternity in the nation.

 
Mu Omicron Pi History 

Mu Omicron Pi Chapter was installed at the Detroit Institute of Technology in Detroit, May 14, 1927. Leasure K. Darbaker, Grand Historian, conducted the installation ceremony. Later, with the assistance of brothers from Beta Beta Chapter, Beta Lambda Chapter and the Cleveland Graduate Chapter, Brother Darbaker directed the initiation of the new members. Dean E.P. Stout, J. Verne Crandall and Joseph L. Dorian of the faculty were included among charter members initiated. The chapter had its origin one year earlier as a local chapter under the name—Mu Omicron Pi. The request to continue this as the chapter name was expressed and it was approved by the Grand Council and it has been continued to the present time. On July 1, 1957, the Detroit Institute of Technology affiliated with Wayne State University in Detroit and Mu Omicron Pi Chapter was transferred to a new parent institution. In the fall of 1957 a chapter house was obtained at 815 W. Warren in Detroit. Later the chapter occupied the property at 1120 Forrest Street, the former home of Charles Lindbergh. This property was acquired by the Detroit Graduate Chapter as a chapter house for both the collegiate and graduate members in Detroit. In 1970 the chapter moved into its current house, a three story, brick, sixteen room mansion at 719 Virginia Park. In 1983 Brother Christopher Roos received the Frank H. Eby Award as the outstanding collegiate member in the fraternity. On May 15, 1987 Mu Omicron Pi celebrated its 60th Anniversary and Detroit Graduate Chapter celebrated its 50th Anniversary at the Hotel Pontchartrain in Detroit. Plaques were presented to each chapter by Grand Vice Regent Dr. Kenneth B. Roberts, the Fraternity's official representative. Others present included: Grand Counselor William R. Smith, Graduate Member-at-Large Paul Hiller, Past Grand Regent Dr. Norman Campbell, the principal speaker, and Dr. Anthony Palmieri, III, Editor of The MASK. A special tribute was paid to Brother John Radtke when the dedication plaque (the Chapter House in Detroit was rededicated in his honor) was formally presented at the banquet. Sadly, Brother Radtke passed away the following day.
Mu Omicron Pi has given the Fraternity one Grand Regent, William R. Smith and an Editor of The MASK, Brother Frank Facione.
