Kansas Alpha – Kansas
Submitted By: Charlie Stephenson ‘24
We have signed a full pledge class by the end of April, which marks significant success within our house and the Rush process. This achievement reflects the hard work of the recruitment chairs and active members. In addition, focused on giving back to our local community in Lawrence. We partnered with Just Food to participate in their campus food drive. In one week, our chapter managed to fill an entire donation can, equivalent to raising over $500 worth of food to help fight food insecurity in our area. Because of efforts from members of our sophomore pledge class, we’re already preparing to fill a second can to continue supporting this meaningful cause. This demonstrates our commitment to service and philanthropy alongside our efforts to strengthen our chapter. Additionally, we are proud to recognize Andrew Murga ‘22, a junior finance major, who was recently elected student body class president, which shows our leadership extends beyond the chapter.

The spring semester was massive for Nebraska Alpha; in the spring, we were luckily able to continue to grow as we successfully initiated four new members. This year, our chapter excelled in the classroom as we had a very successful scholarship banquet, which allowed us to acknowledge brothers who thrived this academic year. The first week of April, we hosted Hunter’s Fund on campus and hosted Phi Psi Sundaes which were both very successful. To end the semester, we hosted our Chicago Formal, where we were able to go explore Chicago, and have a beautiful ride on a boat in the Mississippi River. This year has been amazing, but we are all very excited for the future as we plan to expand the lovely brotherhood of Phi Kappa Psi!
