List of Phi Chi chapters

Phi Chi is one of the oldest and largest international medical fraternities of its kind in the world. Phi Chi evolved from the merging of two professional medical fraternities bearing the same name. Phi Chi Society (Phi Chi East) was founded on March 31, 1889, at the University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt. Phi Chi Medical Fraternity (Phi Chi South) was founded on October 26, 1894, at the Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky. These two organizations did not know that they shared a similar name when they were founded. On March 5, 1905, in Burlington, Vt., Phi Chi Society and Phi Chi Medical Fraternity, Inc., were consolidated taking the name Phi Chi Medical Fraternity, Inc.

Chapters from the following Medical Societies have merged with Phi Chi over the years:

Original Consolidation

Group	Letters	Founded	Location	Merged
Phi Chi Society	ΦΧ	March 31, 1889	University of Vermont, Burlington, Vt.	March 5, 1905	5 active chapters when merged
Phi Chi Medical Fraternity	ΦΧ	October 26, 1894	Louisville Medical College, Louisville, Ky.		18 active chapters when merged

Later merger participants

Pi Mu Honor Society	ΠΜ	December 13, 1892	University of Virginia	October 7, 1922	7 active chapters when merged, ΠΜ chapter created from Alpha chapter, 6 chapters joined existing chapters
Phi Alpha Gamma fraternity	ΦΑΓ	March 25, 1894	New York Homeopathic Medical College	February 21, 1948	2 active chapters ΦΑ and ΦΑΓ chapters created from Alpha and Gamma. its Beta chapter had joined as BY in 1921
Omega Upsilon Phi fraternity	ΩΥΦ	November 15, 1894	University at Buffalo	May 26, 1934	Alpha chapter joined as ΩΥΦ chapter, the other chapters withdrew to join ΦΒΠ

When the Phi Chi Society and Phi Chi Medical Fraternity combined in 1905, it was decided that when the names of any two chapters conflicted, the chapter with precedence would retain its single letter name and the chapter following shall duplicate its name. The result was to retain Alpha chapter (1889) at the University of Vermont, and name the former Alpha chapter of Louisville (1894) as Alpha Alpha chapter.
