2025 December Psi U Today

Psi Upsilon is pleased to announce its return to Christopher Newport University, where the Phi Nu Chapter has officially begun the process of reactivation. Following a two‑year suspension, an enthusiastic group of former members took the initiative to rebuild the chapter. Now 15 members strong, the chapter is preparing to participate in IFC recruitment next semester.

While working to regain Registered Student Organization status and reestablish chapter operations, the members remained committed to service and philanthropy. In November, the chapter collected more than 400 pounds of canned goods for THRIVE Peninsula, a nonprofit organization supporting families across the Virginia Peninsula during times of need. They also engaged in several campus‑based philanthropic efforts, demonstrating their renewed dedication to the Christopher Newport campus community.

With this strong momentum, the chapter is well‑positioned for a successful spring semester. Alumni of the Phi Nu Chapter and Psi Upsilon members in the Hampton Roads region who are interested in supporting this emerging group are encouraged to connect as we build an advising team.

The Psi Upsilon International Office is pleased to announce we have partnered with LifeWeb 360 to bring you a brand new digital necrology where our brothers can reconnect and commemorate those members of our Fraternity who have passed away.

LifeWeb 360 is an online platform where friends and family can share stories, photos and memories of their departed loved one. It is designed to harness the outpouring of love that happens when someone passes to capture their essence in an authentic way, honor them, and give comfort to their family.

Within the brotherhood, we find stories of lives lived to the fullest and of unique men and women who left an indelible mark on the world. Discover the common threads that weave us together and—when you see someone you know—share your cherished memories, anecdotes, photos, and laughs to honor the strong connection we have with our departed brothers.

We’ve included all notices of a brother passing, and the obituary if it can be found, since 2019. If you know of a brother who passed away and is not included please pass along their information using this form.

We are proud to announce the return of the Beta Beta Chapter at Trinity College this fall. After a two‑year hiatus, six dedicated students partnered with the Fraternity to reestablish the chapter, successfully recruiting a fall new member class of 25 and reopening the chapter house. Plans are already underway to welcome a chef and reinstate the chapter meal program this spring.

Throughout the fall semester, the chapter quickly reengaged with the campus and local community. They hosted a well‑attended Homecoming gathering at 81 Vernon Street and organized several service initiatives, including participation in “Halloween on Vernon Street,” a safe trick‑or‑treating event for neighborhood children, and Movember, supporting men’s health causes such as cancer research and suicide prevention.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Beta Beta alumni and the Colt Trust officers whose support made this successful return possible. To stay connected with the chapter and follow its ongoing activities, visit its website and follow the chapter on Instagram @trinpsiu.
