With some 1,200 men expected to participate this year in formal recruitment (previously known as "rush"), we need your help so we can identify our legacies in advance. Here's how: • Let us know directly—and the earlier, the better. Contact Alumni Advisory Board Chairman Doug Buglewicz '96 at (662) 801-5804 or doug017@hotmail.com, or the Alpha Recruitment Chairman Ryan Hamill '17 at rthamill@go.olemiss.edu. • When your son registers for formal recruitment online, make sure he "checks the boxes" and indicates his status as a legacy of Chi Psi. Using this information, the University provides a heads-up to the recruitment chairman. Chi Psi is known throughout the fraternity world as a "family fraternity" that spans the nation and the generations. With your assistance, we can nurture and preserve this tradition for those who follow us.

We initiated 21 Brothers into the Bonds and have seven members working toward active membership. In terms of community involvement, 80% of them are involved in organizations outside Chi Psi. We have many members in leadership positions, whether they are executive or assistant roles. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT We have made great strides in academics, with an overall GPA of 3.05, and we are striving for a GPA above 3.25. Any member found below this average will participate in proctored study hall hours. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT We have decided to work with Charity Water as our large-scope philanthropy and the YAC as our local philanthropy. We plan to build events around these causes. We are steadily building our rapport with the Oxford and University communities. Brothers are encouraged to participate in outside events and organizations, in light of the value we place on developing well-rounded individuals. CAMPAIGN EXCITEMENT Aside from our many successes this semester, the thing that has all members standing on pins and needles is the electric atmosphere generated from the new Lodge. With our hard work in other areas that exemplify Chi Psi, we hope to have a strong base of true fraternity by the time the Lodge foundation is poured. Yours in the Bonds, Charlie Walker '17, #1 clwalke2@go.olemiss.edu Award recipients at the Parent and Alumni Weekend banquet April 25: Charlie Walker '17, Model Active Award; Jimmy Anderson '16, Gentleman Award; Drew Johnson '17, Model New Member Award; Rubin Ruiz '15, H.
