Alpha Chi Rho at Trinity College |

he Reverend Paul Ziegler graduated from Trinity College in 1872. In the 1890s, he sent his son, Carl Ziegler to Trinity. Early on, Carl became friends with two other men, William Rouse and Herbert Sherriff. These men were not invited to join Paul's old fraternity Beta Beta. This prompted Reverend Ziegler to write our first exoteric manual. It was 6 pages of printed material. This short manual put forth the purpose, beliefs, and ideals of Alpha Chi Rho.
This first chapter was made up of our founding fathers: Paul Ziegler, Carl Ziegler, William Rouse, Herbert Sherriff, and William Eardeley. On June 4th 1895 the four undergraduate brothers exchanged vows of brotherhood in Northam Towers at Trinity. This first chapter was named Phi Psi.
By the time Carl and Herbert graduated graduated in 1897, there were 17 brothers. That made them one of the largest fraternities at Trinity. They included some of the top students and athletes the school had to offer. The first chapter hall was a rented room at Trinity, and offered a meal plan.
