According to the 20th edition (1991) of Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities ISBN 0-9637159-0-9, two founding members are cited:
- Edward Forbes Travis
- Charles Arms Budd (N.Y.U. 1850), medical doctor
According to the 1st edition (1879) of Baird's ), there are four founding members cited, with Charles Budd the only name in common.
- Charles Arms Budd
- William Myn Van Wagenen (Columbia College)
- John Hone Anthon (Columbia College), leader of the Apollo Hall Democracy, a political group that worked to bring Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall to justice.
- Samuel F. Barger (Columbia College), Lawyer and railroad director and financier associated with the Vanderbilts.
The discrepancy appears to arise from editorial decisions by Baird's. Another source provides similar data . A complete listing of the chapter membership in its first few years may be found in an 1881 edition of a Columbia College directory .
The book "A Tour Around New York" contains contemporaneous sketches of life and associates a number of Columbia College Students including Barger, Anthon, Col. H.S. Olcott (listed below under "Other 19th C.) and Stewart L. Woodford (listed below in Congress).
The 1889 "Catalogue of the Members of the Fraternity of Delta Psi" has been scanned by Google. It lists Samuel W. Barger as a founding member and a lawyer.

“I made a list of things I have
to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”
—Linda Pastan (b. 1932)
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“I’ll wager that it was impossible after we got mixed together to tell an anti from a suffragist by her clothes. There might have been a difference, though, in the expression of the faces and the shape of the heads.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“Go where he will, the wise man is at home,
His hearth the earth,—his hall the azure dome;
Where his clear spirit leads him, there’s his road,
By God’s own light illumined and foreshadowed.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)
