Pi Delta Psi (PDPsi) is an Asian-interest multicultural fraternity recognized by the Multicultural Greek Council. It was founded as a colony in October 2004 and is currently recognized as an associate chapter, rather than an official chapter of the national organization.

The mission of Pi Delta Psi Fraternity, Inc. is to maintain its Fraternal existence by instilling values that nurture and perpetuate the continual growth and development of the individual through Academic Achievement, Cultural Awareness, Righteousness, Friendship and Loyalty while fostering ethical behavior, leadership, and philanthropy. Pi Delta Psi was founded on these principles to help promote Asian Awareness amongst it brothers and throughout the community.

Many brothers of Columbia Pi Delta Psi hold leadership positions and are actively involved in several pre-professional and cultural on-campus student organizations, including: MBA, AMSA, AAA, TASA, and KSA.
