Mark Your Calendars for Xi's Homecoming O n May 19, 2025, a special meeting of the Xi of Psi Upsilon Fraternity was held via video conference to seek brotherhood approval for a structural change to the Xi's corporate organization. This change enables the Xi to fully benefit from its newly granted tax-exempt status from the IRS. Thanks to a strong turnout of undergraduate and alumni brothers, the brotherhood approved the transfer of legal title to two Xi-owned properties—242 High Street (the historic Chapter House) and 225 College Street (the adjacent parking lot)—to the Xi's 501(c)(3) charitable affiliate: The William Kerr Leadership and Historic Preservation Society Corporation ["The Kerr 501(c)(3)"]. To ensure uninterrupted use of the properties as a residential fraternity house, the Xi will enter into a long-term lease agreement with The Kerr 501(c)(3) that includes a nominal rent arrangement. Going forward, donations and other contributions to The Kerr 501(c)(3) can be used to support the Chapter House and, importantly, are expected to be fully tax- deductible for donors, subject to individual tax circumstances. In addition to approving the property transfer, the brotherhood unanimously voted to modernize the Xi's legal structure by updating its 19th-century governing documents. Officers and directors were also elected to implement these changes: President Charles "Chip" Nottingham '88 Treasurer Jeffrey Phelon '82 Secretary Benjamin "Benjie" Messinger-Barnes '09 The Kerr 501(c)(3) is managed by dedicated Xi brothers, President Tristan Tully '09 and Vice President Darryl Hazel '70. Special thanks go to Evan Drutman '86 and Benjie, who led the meeting and facilitated the discussion. Their tireless pro bono work on behalf of the Xi deserves our collective gratitude. Brothers who would like to learn more about the Xi Corporation and The Kerr 501(c)(3) are encouraged to attend the Homecoming Chapter meeting at 10 a.m. on October 25, 2025, at 242 High Street or reach out to chip@chipnottingham.com!
