11.23.24 – Lehigh vs Lafayette

From the Goodale Literary Association (Eta Alumni Association):

Brothers, Make your plans! We are gathering once again for the annual Lehigh-Lafayette contest on Saturday, November 23, 2024, and you are most welcome to join us.

NOTE: This year we will be postponing the Annual Meeting to Founder’s Day 2025 so activities will begin at:

10:00 AM Alumni tailgate. We are in space S37 in the grass overflow parking lot (see linked map below), next to the Psi Upsilon undergraduates who are tailgating with Alpha Phi. Look for the Psi Upsilon flag flying high. The tailgate is potluck, so if you inclined, bring a dish and your favorite beer or wine to share. Lehigh prohibits hard liquor on all of its campuses, grounds and buildings.

5:00 PM Italian buffet Dinner, sponsored by the undergraduate brothers of the Eta.

An RSVP would be helpful for our planning. Please respond if you are coming to either event with the number in your party. Send me an email: thomaskeating@yahoo.com.

If you cannot join us, think about attending your local alumni watching event and keeping the good old Eta in your thoughts. Hope to see you.

:

The Psi Upsilon History & Archives committee was created last year and charged with researching the materials in our archives, sharing stories with our brotherhood, and preserving and making the archives accessible for research.


Committee Chair and Psi U Archivist Evan W. Terry, Epsilon Phi ’93 (McGill University) said it best: “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” During this work weekend we will continue better organizing the archives, make improvements to storage, and assess needs going forward.

Again, we are so thankful for all the time the committee spent on this important work.


If you are interested in financially supporting the work of the History & Archives committee contact the Foundation Chairman Alexander Senchak, Eta ’06 (Lehigh) or you may make a gift here.


For information about attending the next History & Archives open house contact Director of Member Engagement Jonathan Chaffin, Gamma Tau ’00 (Georgia Tech).

Volunteers from the Psi U History and Archives committee gathered in Indianapolis to research, sort, and preserve Psi U history.

Thank you to our generous sponsors who support the History and Archives committee, and our Publications and research
