List of Zeta Psi chapters

Zeta Psi is an international collegiate fraternity. It was founded in 1847 at New York University in New York City, New York.

Each Zeta Psi chapter has a unique name composed of one or two Greek letters. A colony petitioning Zeta Psi to become a chapter chooses a name for its chapter upon receiving its charter. From this point on, the name is fixed. Even if the chapter goes inactive, the name will be reused by any group that re-establishes a chapter at the university campus. A chapter name can only be reassigned to another institution if the chapter possessing the name is pronounced "deceased"; this has not happened since 1892.

The chapter's name can be based on many different factors. For instance, it is common for new chapters to take on an element from an existing chapter that has helped them form. Theta Xi chapter in Toronto adopted the Xi from their neighbor chapter in Michigan. In turn, every chapter in Ontario has a "Theta" as part of their name from their relationship to the Toronto chapter. Other times, a name is related to other factors like the Roman Catholic Villanova University chapter being named Alpha Omega chapter due to the Christian significance.
