The Society was founded on March 30, 1915, at The University of Kansas. Nearly 150 chapters throughout the United States have been installed since 1915. Government of the Society is by student members and the ultimate legislative authority is vested in a National Convention held every two years. It is composed of one student delegate from each chapter and the seven national officers who are faculty members.  The Alpha Psi Chapter at the University of Arkansas was founded in 1949.
