The Phi Nu Chapter of Psi Upsilon endeavors to become and maintain the highest standard of excellence within Christopher Newport University, the Newport News community, and the country at large; and to accept and create a membership committed to its ideals and social measures: always striving to and achieving the highest moral, intellectual, and physical excellence in all the days of the member's life.
The membership shall actively embody and represent its ideals outwardly, becoming an example to its surrounding communities, so that when Phi Nu's membership graduates out of active involvement, they shall branch out and seek to improve every community they join.
