It's allowed me to develop meaningful relationships with my Brothers, which I will carry well beyond my time in college. Their guidance helps me strive daily to honor our Fraternity legacy in my personal and academic life. Iowa Alpha truly values community service, an invaluable lesson I will bring with me moving forward. Phi Psi has done a lot for me, and I know it will continue to do so for all Brothers in the future." –Ethan Walz '23 "For four years, Phi Psi has been the foundation for nearly all my accomplishments at Iowa. That said, one truth has become more evident than the rest: when you're surrounded by peers who share similar academic, professional, and personal aspirations, there is no ceiling for what can be accomplished. My Brothers know I'm terrible at keeping things short and sweet, but I have to say this as I conclude my time on campus: you all have been my friends, teachers, thorns in my side, supporters, and most importantly, my family for four years; I'm grateful for every single one of you. Thank you for helping me along this crazy journey, and thank you, Phi Kappa Psi, for bringing us together.
