Rush T-Shirts Needed

From the desk of Adam Goodman...

Hello Everyone!!. I have an request of all the alumni! Rush shirts are something we all have in common and remind each of us of where we started our Phi Psi life. This Fall semester will be the Omega Class which will be the last class of our first line. I want to collect all the rush shirts from each class from CC Alpha (if there was one) to now. So that we will all be reminded about our start and those who became before us.

When they are all collected, I will have a special announcement for the Alumni.

Please if you have a rush shirt you would like to donate please message me on FB or email me at acgoodman88@gmail.com.

Alumni BBQ

August 25th marked an unofficial end of summer and gave the chapter a chance for undergraduates, alumni, and family members to get together and officially celebrate the chapter's Grand Chapter award.  Following a Stanley Cup-esque trip around Jersey, the trophy finally made its way home to Glassboro.  It is safe to say that everyone was thrilled with the turnout of brothers and family members and for those that couldn't make it, we hope to see you at Homecoming October 26th-27th.

Introducing...

We'd like to congratulate Randy and Melanie Morton on the the birth of their twins, Hannah and Ryan.  We're looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Fall Rush

It's that time of the semester as the chapter will be participating in Rush Week. HQ would be upset with me if I didn't say that recruitment is a year long process, so I've fulfilled my obligation there.  Given our schedules, I understand it's unrealistic for a huge turnout for most of these events given the start time for most of these events, but I know some local alums will make the trip out to some events.  The event schedule is listed after the break.

Congratulations Shane!

We'd like to share with you the announcement of Shane Walsh's marriage to April Minnick.  They were married this past Saturday and currently en route to Tampa to enjoy their honeymoon.  We hope you enjoy your honeymoon and wish nothing but the best.  We hope to see you and your new bride at Homecoming!

I'm happy to share the announcement that Xavier Rose recently became engaged to his long time girlfriend Brittany.  They met during their Junior year of High School and started dating their Senior year in 2003.  They have been dating for almost 9 years and currently live together in Beachwood, NJ.  Xavier proposed in Niagara Falls, Canada on August 22, 2012 under the trees of the Oaks Garden, followed by dinner at the Skylon Tower overlooking the falls.  Xavier currently works as the Tools Program Manager at NAVAIR in Lakehurst, NJ, and Brittany is a Marketing Specialist at Gap Inc.

Congratulations to you both!

An Open Letter From A Tri-Sigma

Lost among the internet memes of the day, was this quality article shared by Shawn Collingsworth (Indiana Eta, The Harvard of the Midwest) Executive Director of Phi Psi.  The article can be found on Phi Kappa Tau's blog.  This month Phi Tau has invited fellow Greeks to share their thoughts as guest bloggers.

Cori Wallace, a sister of Tri-Sigma and Tri-Sigma's Director of Marketing, composed a stirring letter addressed to fraternity men.  Brother's who have attended UIFI may have had the opportunity to meet her as she is actively involved in the organization's programming.  As I read the article, I thought back to my days as an undergraduate and the brothers I have gotten to know over the past decade.  I believe our chapter is the embodiment of Cori's message.

So whether you're a rush, pledge brother, neophyte, elected officer, chapter adviser, mentor, or volunteer I thank you for being a brother and a hero.
