Psi Upsilon - Wesleyan University

W e hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful summer! We finished off the academic year with a wonderful Reunion and Commencement Weekend, holding a Chapter meeting and festivities with alumni at the house to celebrate brothers graduating in 2024. Over the past year, we've initiated 28 members spanning all corners of campus, ranging from involvement in varsity athletic teams to serving as Argus writers, WSA leaders, and employees at the Career and Alumni Offices. Additionally, we worked on two philanthropic initiatives. All our Chique Chaque leftovers were donated to St. Vincent De Paul's Food Pantry (located on Main Street), and the Xi partnered with Wesleyan's harm reduction initiative to provide Narcan and fentanyl testing strips to the entire campus. We look forward to having a full house of brothers this fall and continuing to improve and grow the Xi.
