Alpha Psi Zetes Raise over $5,000 for Canadian Cancer Society

Students and Management Carnival Participants gathered on Friday, January 20th, 2012, for the 29th Annual McGill University Cancer Auction in the Bronfman Concourse to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society. Back in November, Hype Week 2011 was able to over $750, and a goal of raising over $10,000 for Carnival was set. This goal was obliterated at this years Cancer Auction, with over $15,000 being raised on Friday alone ($18,000 in total since the Fall semester). We are proud to say that the Alpha Psi Chapter was responsible for raising over $5,500 of the $18,000 total! We look forward to next years auction, and hope to raise even more money for this great cause!

Alpha Psi Zetes donate over 1500 canned goods to homeless.

Over the week of January 15th, the Alpha Psi chapter donated over 1500 canned goods to the various shelters in the Montreal area. The cans were raised through an event called MUS Carnival, where 2 Zete teams donated 1008 and 504 cans respectively totaling 1,512 cans. Not only were canned goods donated, but the Zete teams were also responsible for donating piles and piles of clothing as well. Special thanks to Brother Graham Litman, Brother Sean Finnell, Brother Michael Consalvo and Brother Joseph Feldman for all the help in pursuing this philanthropic endeavor. The Alpha Psi chapter is ecstatic to start the year off so strongly, and excited to see what they can accomplish throughout the new year.

Brother Alex Rohrbach Named CUFLA Rookie of the Year

Congratulations to Our Newly Elected Phi

The Alpha Psi chapter is delighted to recognize Brother Chris McGuire as the newly elected Phi. Entering the position in his fifth year as a Zete, Brother McGuire brings a range of experience that few brothers can offer. His depth of involvement ranges in his positions as Delta (2008 through 2009), Alpha Phi (2009 through 2010), and Gamma (2010 to present).

Brother McGuire takes on a large responsibility presiding over the largest Alpha Psi class in history. Regardless of the chapter’s size, he is committed to maintaining the quality and integrity of our organization and its members. Our chapter has no doubt regarding Brother McGuire’s ability to accomplish great things, and we are excited to see these come to fruition over the next year.

The future looks brighter than ever for Alpha Psi.

Zeta Psi Featured in Bull and Bear Newspaper

The Bull and Bear newspaper recently published an article on the subject of Greek Life in the Faculty of Management featuring the two prominent fraternities within the faculty, Zeta Psi and Phi Kappa Pi. Brothers Charlie DiGiulian, Adam Duffy Fagan, Joseph Feldman, and Chase Potter were interviewed to discuss the reasoning behind their involvement in Greek Life at McGill, and specifically what role it plays in their life in the Faculty of Management. A link to the full article can be found here.

A Successful Movember

With the month of “Movember” coming to an end, the Alpha Psi Chapter would like to thank everyone that supported their efforts to raise awareness for prostate cancer. First of all, it is amazing to note that Canada was the No. 1 fundraiser in the world, with a staggering $37 million from 245,000 registered participants, an increase from $22.3 million last year. We are also proud to note that the Alpha Psi Chapter did its part by raising a whopping $1,052 over the month! The chapter ended the month with 42 manly ‘staches, showcasing them at Management Hype Week, the ‘CASCO: Night at the Movies’ dance show, the Movember Apartment Crawl, and many more events. Alpha Psi’s efforts are seen as the most successful on campus out of any other greek letter organization! But unfortunately with Movember finished for another year, all those moustaches, grown in the name of prostate cancer awareness and fundraising, await their fate. We look forward to next ‘Movember’, where we hope to raise more money, and raise more awareness!

The chapter award for the Best Moustache goes to Brother Dan Conacher with overwhelming support from the chapter.

The worst attempt at a moustache award going to Brother Emerson Shiu (despite starting 1 year early), with Brother Max Adelson as an honorable mention. But as Brother Katzen has stated, “its not the size that matters its how you use it.”
