they have made their own improvements to the
chapter house. Bobbie Carey '13, Josh Vertes
'13, and Michael Bradley '13 took it upon them-
selves to transform old storage closets into fan-
tastic study lounges.
Founders' Day weekend is currently the climax
of Michigan Alpha's winter semester. Not only
was it a celebration of our fraternity's founding,
but it was also our parents' weekend. During
the daytime on Saturday, February 22, one of
the University's biggest IFC and philanthropic
events was held, the Winterfest Broomball Tour-
nament. After a long day filled with hard-fought
matches, Michigan Alpha emerged victorious!
The highlight of the day was Alfredo Holguin
'11, fresh off back surgery, clinching the semifi-
nal win with a goal in the shootout.
Only after all that excitement did the real Found-
ers' Day festivities begin. Thanks to the tireless
efforts of Housing Corporation members Brian
May '99 and Pat Sierawksi '07, along with un-
dergraduate Weston Kujacznski '12, the events
for the evening were flawless. Alumni ranging
from the 1950s to the new millennium appeared
and shared stories during cocktails at the chapter
house then at a fabulous dinner that was capped
off by TED-talk-style speeches by Jack Gray '07,
David Frayne '89, Gino Roncelli '07, and parent
Daniel Labes. The following morning there was a
viewing of the UM basketball game versus Michi-
gan State and a group of students, alumni, and par-
ents also attended the game. An amazing weekend
was capped with another win. The undergraduates
were very happy for all of the alumni and parents
who could attend Founders' Day, we hope for
even more alumni engagement for the future.
As the year winds down, we can all be proud
of our accomplishments, but we cannot rest on
them. The transition from the old chapter house is
complete, and the 630 Oxford generation of Mi-
chgan Alpha is only gathering momentum in all
aspects of student and fraternity life. I encourage
all alumni to visit to see where
Phi Psi at Michigan stands today.
