The colony at the University of Connecticut was founded on April 12th, 2008, thus establishing not only the 23rd chapter of Pi Delta Psi, but also the first Asian-interest cultural fraternity in the state of Connecticut. This was made possible through tireless efforts by the twelve men: Andrew Tan, Terry Tian, David Zeng, Shiwei Yan, Gyu-jin Lee, James Li, Thomas Wang, Colin Li, Jeff Zhang, Clinton Lo-Lau, Arthur Aina, and Ronald Liu.
These men envisioned a campus enriched by diversity and full of pride, with a united Asian American community that allowed students to experience Asian culture at its best and develop in a well rounded, social college atmosphere. But to make this possible, they needed young ambitious men of an elite class; men who were courageous, determined and driven to excel in all walks of life. They found this in Pi Delta Psi. Working tirelessly for two years, the twelve charters brought Pi Delta Psi to the University of Connecticut.
This set a milestone in the history of this institution and opened up infinite possibilities for change on campus. Feeling accomplished, the twelve men knew that nothing was impossible and that the sky was the limit. The following classes of men great enough to wear the letters of Pi Delta Psi shall carry on the legacy of the founders. They will be leaders amongst their peers and walk into society as seasoned men that will pioneer their respective fields.
