OUR FUTURE IS
IN OUR HANDS IN OUR HANDS
"I cannot express enough how much Psi Chapter has meant to
me throughout my college career, including the relationships I've
formed and experiences I've shared with such an outstanding
group of individuals from all over the country. I especially value the
longstanding traditions and values that we hold here at the DKE
house, and I believe that the current members in this house will do
nothing but continue to uphold these high standards." –Tim Favrot '24
F
or more than 175 years, an exceptional group
of men brought together by fate and bound
together by brotherhood has been at the core of
Alabama Greek life. From our original founding in
1847 as the first fraternity chartered at Alabama,
more than 1,500 brothers have enriched our history.
As alumni, we can trace many of our best memories
back to Alabama and our Psi experience.
In 2007, our Psi brothers accepted
the challenge of building a new
Mansion on the Hill. We were the
leaders of a housing revolution
in Tuscaloosa. Sixteen years later,
the growth of our chapter has
presented us with a need that we
must address again. There are
areas where we must improve to
keep DKE at the top of the fraternity system at UA.
While we are landlocked and cannot compete on
sleeping capacity, we can capitalize on our
best-in-class location.
WHAT WE MUST DO
The foremost change needed for our home is
the expansion of gathering, dining, and social
spaces throughout. What we learned as our
chapter grew was that non-resident brothers use
our house as much (or more!) than our residents.
Whether it is to study, socialize, share meals, or
attend chapter meetings, we are literally bursting
at the seams trying to accommodate the needs
of the brotherhood.
Add to that alumni events, home football game
days, and parents' weekends—the need for
greater gathering space and better crowd control
is clear. We've made the decision to answer this
challenge as all Psi brothers should: head-on and
with full support.
Will you join us in this noble effort to ensure our
chapter stays at the top—where it belongs?
