Alpha Psi Chapter Founder’s Day 2024

A first-hand account of what happened that fatefull night in 1956 involving a crew of our Alpha Psi brothers, a full-grown alligator, and a university swimming pool.

The rest, as they say, is HISTORY!

This now infamous story is told by Brother Bill Davidson ‘55 who was one of the crew involved!

Phi Kappa Tau, by admitting me to membership, has conferred upon me a mark of distinction in which I take just pride. I believe in the spirit of brotherhood for which it stands. I shall strive to attain its ideals, and by so doing to bring to it honor and credit. I shall be loyal to my college and my chapter and shall keep strong my ties to them that I may ever retain the spirit of youth. I shall be a good and loyal citizen. I shall try always to discharge the obligation to others which arises from the fact that I am a fraternity man.
