Alpha Chi Rho (ΑΧΡ) is a men's collegiate fraternity founded on June 4, 1895 at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut by the Reverend Paul Ziegler, his son Carl Ziegler, and Carl's friends William Rouse, Herbert T. Sherriff and William A.D. Eardeley. It is a charter member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference, and its national headquarters is R.B. Stewart National Headquarters located in Neptune, New Jersey. The symbol of the fraternity is the labarum and men of Alpha Chi Rho are commonly called "Crows." (During the 1960s, some members of the fraternity facetiously referred to the fraternity as "Alpha Cholera," after the fictional fraternity in humorist Max Shulman's 1943 novel Barefoot Boy with Cheek.)

The Four Landmarks of Alpha Chi Rho

1. Membership from among those who are prepared to realize in word and deed, the Brotherhood of all men.

2. The insistence on a high and clean moral standard.

3. The paramount duty of Brotherly love among members.

4. Judgment not by externals, but by intrinsic worth; no one is denied membership in Alpha Chi Rho because of race, creed, or nationality.
