Psi Upsilon Foundation Grants

Psi Upsilon Foundation grants provide support for the Fraternity’s Chapter Leadership Program which includes:

Archons Academy

The Archons Academy is a three-day leadership seminar designed to help our undergraduate chief elected officers develop the skills necessary to become an effective leader. Participants have expressed overwhelming support for the opportunity to trade success stories and hear different approaches to resolving similar problems.

Topics include: goal setting, problem solving and conflict resolution, team building and motivation, leading an effective meeting and more.

This annual program is available to every archon from every chapter at no cost to the chapter.

Commitment to Excellence

Each chapter designs its own strategies and action plans to address its unique situation. Through retreats that examine personal values, leadership values and the values of Psi Upsilon Fraternity, alumni facilitators assist chapters in developing values-based strategies and act as mentors to individual members. Action plans with appropriate benchmarks and metrics establish chapter-specific goals that are monitored, reviewed and adjusted throughout the year.

GreekLifeEdu®

Psi Upsilon makes GreekLifeEdu® available to every member in every chapter. This online, interactive program is designed to prevent or eliminate alcohol-related problems, hazing and sexual assault, and to help students make safer and healthier decisions.

Leadership Institute

The Leadership Institute is held annually in conjunction with the Fraternity’s Convention and has become an integral part of the Fraternity’s effort to develop ethical leadership and promote moral, intellectual and social excellence. Topics include management, citizenship, community service, motivation, consensus building and academic development. The Leadership Institute provides undergraduates and alumni alike an opportunity to exchange ideas and solutions.
