Pi Upsilon Rho (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: ΠΥΡ) was a United States-based professional fraternity for homeopathy students established at Hahnemann Medical College in 1876 under the name Ustion. It changed its name to Pi Upsilon Rho in 1909.[1] [2]
By 1920 it had five active chapters.[2] It has been credited as one of the United States' oldest medical fraternities.[3] The fraternity's governing body, the Supreme Corpus, would meet annually at the convention of the American Institute of Homeopathy.[2] [4]
