In the brother interviews to come, we are hoping to spice things up and make each interview a little more unique. I will be posting a list of brothers that I plan on interviewing on the Facebook alumni group and through email. I would be happy to take any questions that you may want to know from these brothers and ask them as part of the collection of questions I normally ask. Only reasonable questions will be considered and the brother I am interviewing reserves all right to answer any questions asked, including the ones I normally ask. Also, if any brother does not answer any questions, I will simply not post the question instead of showing the question and "No Answer" like I did last week.

NJE earning Grand Chapter. That award was earned by every brother since we were formed as a colony.

All the philanthropy events stand out. I remember helping to feed the homeless in Philly, light the night walks, helping an 8 year old and her family raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the list goes on.
12. Any fraternal advice you would give to an undergraduate Phi Psi today?
The decisions and actions you make now (for better or worse) will affect you well after you graduate. Nothing is free and you are entitled to nothing. Be a Phi Psi everywhere you go by working hard and being honest.
