Lawrence Technological University’s Original Fraternity
About us
Founded in 1932 Phi Kappa Upsilon was the first engineering and social fraternity on the campus of the Lawrence Institute of Technology, in Highland Park, Michigan. Founded at the suggestion of the late Dean Russell E. Lawrence it was organized in order to perpetuate the bond of friendship between the original students of the College and those who followed
The purpose of Phi Kappa Upsilon is to further the individual and collective welfare of its members by creating cultural, educational, and fraternal advantages. Membership in the Fraternity is restricted to students pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree at an accredited College or University. Thus, Phi Kappa Upsilon is in actuality a Social- Professional Fraternity, rather than merely a social organization.
The Alumni Chapter was organized on May 20, 1935. Its members all occupy positions of responsibility, particularly in the fields of Engineering, Architecture, Business Administration, and allied business. Their contribution to the advancement of all Phi Kappa Upsilon Fraternity members has been important but unpublicized. Their continued support of all fraternity activities is invaluable to the progress of the Collegiate Chapters.
