Reflection is the word that comes to mind for so many at the end of another year. As we face 2008, many Phi Psis remember their undergraduate experience and have continuously over the years, afforded others that same experience. While there is the obvious tax benefit associated with donations to The Phi Psi Foundation, a 501 ( c ) 3 organization, the personal fulfillment and life long enjoyment outweigh all other reasons to give. “I spent four years in college really not applying myself but the Phi Psi chapter provided me with a sense of meaning and purpose.

“Once a member, always a brother” is a common phrase Phi Psis use when describing their commitment to the brotherhood. “There is a life-time commitment associated with membership in the Phi Kappa Psi. I view it as the same life-time commitment I have to my family, the Army and my country. Hopefully, my support will help others share in the Phi Psi experience,” said Keith Troutman, IUP ’70.

Wherever 2008 takes you, we hope you think of the Phi Psi Foundation when you reflect on the impact Phi Kappa Psi has had upon your life.
