Elevate our Brotherhood
The Psi Upsilon Days of Giving, our annual friendly competition to see what chapter can garner the most donors to the Psi U Annual Fund in a short sprint, is next weekend, Oct 17-22. The page will be linked from Psi U.org when Live.
Several things I want you to know about: Matchers, Prizes for participating brothers, and our FIRST EVER livestream event on 10/18.
I. Matchers: We have over $50,000 in matches promised, and we need help to secure those dollars! The more brothers we can get excited about the Days of Giving the more likely we are to secure that money, which remember funds Psi U’s scholarships, graduate scholarships, impact fellowships, publications, archives preservation AND MORE.
Please help keep the energy up with your alumni board, and with your Psi U network. Matchers listed below!
