Any Brother Can Get Involved Leadership and Chapter House Improvement Updates from Your Chapter Advisor F raternity leadership is a formative step in any Brother's career. Our Chapter has grown to about 160 members with a 21-member executive team, who was invited to the UI Challenge Course for a leadership retreat as a capstone of the annual workweek. The retreat's core purpose is personal and group growth, achieved through challenging activities that enhance communication, cooperation, and problem-solving skills. Employing an experiential education approach, the exec board engaged in and reflected upon each challenge to foster unity and practice vulnerability. The evening concluded with a vision-planning session at City Park, charting Iowa Alpha's course for the upcoming year over steaks and salmon. From the day's activities and discussions, leadership is focused on improving in these areas: • Recruitment and Brotherhood: Phi Psi is dedicated to strengthening the brotherhood through strategic recruitment from IFC and to the Nationals Headquarters, building upon its strong legacy. • Career Advancement: Older members are seeking expanded opportunities outside the Chapter through career-oriented connections or study-abroad opportunities. Our Speaker Series has been a great way to build connections with alumni. If you are a professional willing to speak with members about your career field, or if you have study abroad advice, please reach out. • Meeting Decorum, Member Retention, and Chapter Expectations: A change in billing service providers (and lingering COVID habits) has made reestablishing Chapter governance practices and policies a top priority to enhance accountability. • Philanthropy: Dance Marathon, Boys and Girls Club, and Students Care are the philanthropic priorities of the Chapter. There is an expanded vision to grow philanthropic efforts and surpass historically great funding goals. Our House Corporation members met following the Kinnick Scholarship Brunch. We uphold our responsibility to keep the Chapter House in good condition, and with the summer's updates, we think you'll agree it's the best on campus. We've tackled the following initiatives this summer: • Upgraded alumni communications to continue the lifelong brotherhood. • Enhanced live-in check-in/check-out processes, including mandatory security deposits. • Executed general maintenance repairs on doors, alarms, and sprinkler systems to successfully pass city fire and rental inspection. • Awarded funding to newly announced Kinnick Scholarship recipients. Fraternally, Adam Parker '09, Chapter Advisor Alumni participation is the foundation of our successful Chapter, providing mentorship and guidance for Brothers as they grow and develop. We're always looking for additional support to contribute to the continued legacy of Iowa Alpha and are confident you'll find it rewarding. To learn more, contact phikappapsiiowaalpha@gmail.com.
