To the six fine gentleman of the Noble Nu pledge class who were initiated this month into the New York Kappa Chapter of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
To the five up-and-coming new members of the Xi pledge class who have shown great progress on their way to becoming men of excellence. The chapter continues to grow not just by quantity, but quality as well.
To our advisor Roger Sullivan who completed all twelve hours of the Relay for Life to benefit the American Cancer Society. With a great amount of determination and the help of my fellow brothers, he was able to complete the relay.
To my fellow brother Zach Silver who was elected to the Student Association as Vice President of Internal Services.
Also, a HUGE thanks to everyone who supported our efforts to raise money for alumni brother Travis Smith who is recovering from a serious automobile accident. Travis visited recently and was in great spirits, which was great to see since it was the first time I had ever met him and it being after a horrible accident. We were able to raise over $300 at our recent Battle of the Bands competition in the Ballroom with the help of attendees and donations from alumni and generous donations from our friends. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
Brothers recently helped out at the Academic Exploration Day this past weekend and mad great, lasting impressions on the families of accepted students. My personal experience as a tour guide, informing families and students of the wonders of Oneonta and speaking with accepted students, whether they were interested in the music industry such as myself or were not quite sure what major to pick, the conversations I had with the families were fascinating and uplifting. It's really helped me look at my future in a new perspective!!!
More updates to come as we prepare for Greek Week, formal, elections, etc. Stay tuned, why don't you?
All the best,
Jon
