Maryland Alpha – Johns Hopkins

Submitted By: Scott Klosen ’24

We had a busy fall at Hopkins. Our brothers won the school’s Interfraternity Council soccer tournament, earning $1,000 and an additional donation from other fraternities to the charity we support: Swim Across America. We partnered with Alpha Phi in a pickleball tournament and Kappa Kappa Gamma in a kickball tournament. Within the community, we ran a mini golf event for Baltimore students being tutored at Hopkins, as well as a “Pie a Psi” event for Camp Kesem. Our brothers on the water polo team earned the No. 5 seed in the MPSF Tournament. Brothers Phillip Long ‘25, Alec Baker ‘24, and Andrew Lee ‘25 received All-Conference recognition for their performance in the pool. In the classroom last spring, our brothers excelled. We achieved a term GPA of 3.72, the highest among all fraternities. We also had the most community service hours and the most money raised for charity. We look forward to a successful upcoming recruitment, which occurs in the spring at Hopkins.

Ohio Theta – Ashland

Submitted By: Wyatt Jones ’22

For the fifth year in a row, we won Lip Sync, a competition among our Greek community, with all ticket proceeds going to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. We hosted a Safe Driving Week campaign in November, encouraging our campus not to drive distracted. We opened our house to our families and friends for a Dad’s Day cookout, Friendsgiving, and a faculty and staff appreciation dinner. We raised more than $1,800 for St. Jude’s during our head-shaving event — special thanks to Carter Speakman ‘24 for volunteering to shave his head. Our chapter also donated a check for $3,000 to our local philanthropy, Camp Nuhop, in November. To end the semester, our brothers — with the help of girlfriends and the ladies of Delta Zeta and ADPi — decorated our chapter house inside and out for Christmas.

Ohio Iota – Akron

The Ohio Iota chapter had a successful semester marked by growth and leadership across campus. Our chapter expanded by 50%, reflecting our commitment to values-based recruitment and a strong brotherhood experience. We are proud to recognize Aidan Sullivan ‘22 and Jacob Dye ‘22, who were inducted into the Order of Omega for their outstanding academic performance, leadership and service within the fraternity community. Ohio Iota also continued its tradition of strong involvement in Fraternity and Sorority Life. This semester, one brother was elected IFC president, and another was elected IFC vice president of risk management, demonstrating our chapter’s dedication to leadership and service beyond our own ranks. Ohio Iota looks forward to building on this momentum as we continue developing men of intellect, character and integrity.

Ohio Xi – Capital

Submitted By: Josh Brown ’24

This semester was highly successful for the Ohio Xi chapter. After initiating 11 new brothers, we went on a brotherhood retreat to a cabin in Hocking Hills, where we spent two days creating and deepening bonds through hikes, game nights and meals together. To kick off the fall semester, we hosted our annual Volleyball Tournament with Alpha Sigma Alpha, raising $306, which we split between our philanthropy, two.fifty.four, and their philanthropy. We prioritize leadership and helping brothers develop their skills in the chapter and beyond. To aid in that development, we sent eight brothers to Launch at Camp Tecumseh in Brookston, Indiana, where they learned more about their leadership skills and how to improve. Afterward, they toured the National Headquarters, Laurel Hall, in Indianapolis. Overall, this semester reflected our chapter’s commitment to our values through service, brotherhood, and growth.

West Virginia Alpha – WVU

Submitted By: Kai Swing ’23 and Vincent Rossetti ’23

Our chapter focused on making a real impact in Morgantown through consistent volunteer work. West Virginia faces some of the highest poverty and food insecurity rates in the country. Once a month, we organize brothers to assist a local food pantry with its distribution. We help set up stations early in the morning, and a line of 50-75 cars moves through the site. Drivers tell us how many families they are supporting, and we fill their vehicles with food. What we love about this work is how clearly it reflects The Great Joy of Serving Others. This has strengthened our community and helped us grow as young men in pursuit of our fraternity’s ideals. Brothers traveled to Toronto for formal, initiation was held Dec. 5 and elections were Dec. 7, 2025.
