October 2022
We all know that the Fraternity experience matters, and thanks to the work of the North American Interfraternity Conference – we now have research to prove it! Read about some studies that show the value of the fraternity experience.
Introducing the Psi Upsilon Foundation’s Director of Donor Relations
The newest team member at the Psi Upsilon International Office is Clanton Johnson who has been serving as our Director of Donor Relations since the spring! As the Director of Donor Relations, Clanton focuses on enhancing the Foundation’s stewardship activities of all donors and coordinating outreach to donors for the annual fund and special initiatives. Clanton will also oversee the recognition circles established by the Foundation to honor donors in a variety of ways. His efforts also focus on attracting new donors through research and follow-up from events and program activities. Read more about Clanton and his role.
From the Archives: Alfred Driscoll, Delta Delta ’25 Banner
The granddaughter of Alfred Driscoll, Delta Delta ’25 (Williams College), sent us a Psi Upsilon Banner from her grandfather’s collection. Brother Driscoll had a distinguished career and served as the Governor of New Jersey from 1947 to 1954 and is largely responsible for both the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway! Read more about the banner and Brother Driscoll.
We’re about to open applications for our
2023-2024 Scholarships on November 1. Please encourage any undergraduates or grad students to apply early! Multiple recipients can come from the same chapter. Applications will be at https://psiu.org/scholarship. Contact Bethann@psiu.org with questions.
History and Archives Photo Gallery
The History and Archives committee gathered Sept 30 – Oct 2nd in Indianapolis to re-organize following the move from the old office and to continue cataloging the extensive Psi U Archives. A gallery of some of their findings are here. The committee also adopted a plan to fully research the history of each named Psi Upsilon scholarship and the brothers after whom it was named. Any brother who has been instrumental in the founding of a named scholarship is invited to contact jonathan@psiu.org to share their insight. As of now the archives are comprised of more than 250 boxes.
Many more pictures from the weekend here.
