Famous members of Psi Upsilon include Presidents Chester A.

Webster, Prime Minister of Canada, Paul Martin, author Horatio Alger, The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown, iPod Co-Creator Tony Fadell, and Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford, Sr..

• Print the fraternity history (1843)
• Print a fraternity songbook (1849)
• Issue a fraternity magazine (1850)
