CHAPTER REPORTS: FALL RUSH AND PLEDGING GAMMA SIGMA UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, GAINESVILLE Every fall semester the Gamma Sigma Chapter at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy the pleasure of selecting a particular group of leaders who have the potential of exemplifying leadership skills up to par of Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity Inc. As with the past years, we engage the pledges in developing a brotherhood bond like no other while having fun and engaging in various activities. I asked one of our pledges, Andrea Carnley, what is was like pledging and her response was, “Pledging Kappa Psi has been a highly satisfying experience so far. It has given me an opportunity to meet and form relationships with some of the first year students I may not have met due to the lack of overlap in the curriculums. I have seen a transition in our teamwork throughout the past 6 weeks, from something as important as a service project to as minor as hosting tailgates, we are forming close bonds that are really bringing us together. Besides getting together with students supporting our football team on Saturdays, pledging has offered us some opportunities to get together and blow off steam from pharmacy school. Last Saturday the brothers set up a brotherhood event playing paintball. That was a lot of fun getting to hang out with not just our pledge class but a few active brothers as well. Kappa Psi has also given us an opportunity to give back to our community by participating in a road cleanup that truly made me feel like I wasn’t helping more than just my community as I shared this experience with my pledge brothers and pledge master. The best part about pledging so far is that Kappa Psi has really come through with its promise of Brotherhood. Weekly I meet active and alumni brothers that really take the time to meet the pledges and get to know us. I definitely think I made the right choice in choosing to pledge Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity, Inc.” It is moments like these that our chapter cherish and look forward to every year in order to tighten the bonds amongst the pledges and with our active brothers.

DELTA RHO NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY Rush is one of the most exciting times of the year for the Delta Rho Chapter. Rush is when we get a chance to show the incoming P1's what we are about. Every year, we put together a promo video, similar to our Chapter Report Video, and showcase it during student orientation. Our message to the new students is that we are the leaders on our campus, we have a strong network, we know how to have fun, and most importantly, we are a family. We require potentials to attend at least three of our five rush events. Our rush events for this year included a Round table event, skate night, volunteering, TexMex social, and Trivia night. Each rush event was a success and gave the pledges a chance to get to know the brothers and the organization. Once we have selected the candidates that we want, we host a bid night, and the chosen few will be offered the chance to pledge.
Pledging is a unique process that each potential member of Kappa Psi must go through. For Delta Rho’s pledging process, our pledges are required to obtain a task and signature from every single one of our active brothers. This signature is their access into our fraternity. To become a brother, you must have the approval of everyone, or you do not cross over. Therefore, as a brother, it is important that we do not take our signatures lightly, as it is our chance to protect the brotherhood. If any brothers would like to attend our events, we have a Breast Cancer Awareness Walk on October 17th at Bayfront Park. Delta Rho was presented with a very active group of individuals this year and I look forward to introducing the newcomers in the Spring.
DELTA UPSILON PALM BEACH ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY Delta Upsilon has 11 pledges! We are excited for our first event: Iron Pledge. This is like MasterChef but we split the pledges into 3 groups & they have to create a Kappa Psi theme for their meal & costumes! Grad brothers then judge the theme & food & pick winners. Our next event is Scavenger Hunt (West Palm Beach, Nov 13). Again, the pledges will be split into teams & have to create a Kappa Psi theme for their costumes. They are given clues as to different places around West Palm Beach. At each location, brothers will be present to ask them questions about KY history, the chapter, and the pledge process. If you’d like to attend any of these events, please let us know! <<Deltaupsilon@gmail.com>> We look forward to creating long lasting pride into our pledges.

DELTA OMEGA SOUTH UNIVERSITY Rush and Pledging is an exciting time at South University School of Pharmacy. Since we are a three-year program, we tackle this process differently in order to find the best-suited brothers for our chapter. We are excited to have 15 new pledges that we can teach the true meaning of Kappa Psi this year. Throughout this journey our pledges not only receive various tasks, but they also are expected to attend events throughout the quarter. Each week our pledges have a meeting with our pledge master where they are assigned a task from a current brother; this varies from hosting a paddle painting party, to assigning each pledge a song to describe themselves, to pledges hosting an interactive game night to get to know one another and the brothers. The other day allocated per week is for team building and allows the pledges a chance to work together on the task given the previous day. We also expect our pledges to attend various events to show them the importance of not only being involved, but also giving back to the community. This past weekend we attended Light the Night, to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. We also participated in the Step Out for Diabetes walk and health screening. This event in particular showed the true fellowship of the Kappa Psi Brothers and advancing the profession of Pharmacy. Delta Omega is looking forward to learning about how the other chapters tackle this process!
IOTA MEDICAL UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA With the start of a new school year, the Iota began the always-exciting process of fall rush. This year brothers provided several different events that showcased all that the chapter and Fraternity has to offer. The chapter hosted two lunch time events on campus, the first of which was a casual meet and greet and question and answer session in which prospective students could gain a general knowledge about the chapter. The second lunch meeting brought in several graduate brothers to speak on how being a part of Kappa Psi affected them personally and professionally. This was especially a hit with the prospective students as it demonstrated the lifelong bond that Kappa Psi builds, and offered them the chance to hear about the benefits that the Fraternity could provide from a different prospective. The chapter also partnered with the other pharmaceutical fraternities on campus to attend a trivia night as well as a percent night to benefit the local APhA-ASP chapter’s Lowcountry Heart Walk Fundraiser. To round out the rush season the chapter watched the University of South Carolina take on the University of North Carolina in the opening game of the college football season. Overall the chapter strove to exemplify the four pillars of Kappa Psi to the prospective students so they could truly see what the Fraternity is about. As a result of the chapter’s hard work, 13 new pledges were inducted and have begun the process of becoming brothers. Iota looks forward to the development of these worthy individuals, and the impact they can make upon the chapter, the Fraternity, and the community in the future. THE INSERT

EPSILON MU UNIVERISITY OF FLORIDA, ORLANDO Why do we rush? It is simple really, we rush to show who we are as Kappa Psi Brothers and attract those our message resonates with. At my Chapter, Epsilon Mu, we host 4 rush events with each event reflecting one of our four pillars. Boardwalk Bowl in Orlando FL served as the location for our Fellowship event. We engaged in friendly competition and mingled in between games. We used this opportunity to find get to know our rushees on a personal level. After spending quality time with our rushees, we incorporated our families into the rush process. Brothers and rushees alike brought family member to the Sobriety family picnic. Family means a great deal to Kappa Psi and we took the time to get to know their family and let them get to know ours. Brothers and rushees gave back to the community and devoted their time to a greater cause: High Ideals. Together we made dinner for the residences of Ronald McDonald House. This simple act of kindness that went a long way and alleviated the worry of one meal from the RMH visitors already burdened with ill loved ones staying in the neighboring hospitals. We concluded our rush with an Industry Night guest panel. Brothers from all positions and disciplines of Pharmacy came out to speak about how Kappa Psi influences their careers. Afterwards the rushees were afforded the opportunity to meet the panelist and ask them specific questions about their careers. Once rush came to a conclusion, the time came to decide which rushees earned a Bid to pledge based off of brief 1 to 2 week rush period. This is why rushing effectively so critical. Make every rushee interaction count, find out their core values, and choose wisely. Kappa Psi does not give a bid to everyone; those selected have the potential to one day run our Chapters and, perhaps one day, our beloved Fraternity.

EPSILON SIGMA UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, ST. PETERSBURG Given our circumstances, the Epsilon Sigma Chapter will not be taking any pledge classes and are focusing our energy in strengthening our Brotherhood as well as providing service to our community. With that being said, our Chapter will be participating in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s annual Light the Night Walk as we have in previous years. The event takes place on November 7th in Tampa. If you’re in the area we welcome you to join us in our efforts to raise awareness and fundraise for such a noble cause. If you aren’t able to, please consider joining and/or donating to our team’s page under UF COP – St. Pete. We’d love to see you all there!

ZETA GAMMA UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, JACKSONVILLE Creating great brothers begins with a great rush. A time when brothers get their know potential new members and for them to get to know us and how great our fraternity is. The Zeta Gamma chapter of Kappa Psi started off this fall hosting several rush events. Kicking it off was a social at Mellow Mushroom in beautiful Jacksonville. Here, the rushees enjoyed a delightful evening with plenty of free pizzas and had to opportunity to meet many brothers. We discussed about who we are, what Kappa Psi is about, and what Kappa Psi can do for them. The Rushes also had the pleasure of meeting Graduate brothers Dr. Brian Hoag, Dr. Beth Briand, and GCD Dr. Jenny Carrillo who all came out to give their guidance and wisdom to the new rushes. Many first year pharmacy students attended. The best part is we all had a great time and got to know our rushes even more. The fun didn’t stop there. Later that week, we invited rushees and brothers to Rebounderz, a 12,000 square feet trampoline park in south Jacksonville. We started with some warm-up jumping to get our hearts and spirits pumping. This quickly led to an exhilarating, full-on 8 vs 8 game of dodgeball! When the smoke settled and we all needed to cool off, we jumped in the gaint, foam swimming pool. It was the first time many of us jumped in a pool without water in it, but we feared nothing knowing that Kappa Psi hands were always there to help. The week ended with a splash, when we invited our Rushes to a Pool party and BBQ. It gave our rushes a chance to eat and play games on a relaxing Saturday morning. One thing for sure, bring food and people will come. One of the rushees even wanted to help out with cooking and showed us how to grill some delicious burgers. The rushees definitely got their feet wet with us and with the love Kappa Psi love that week.. A big thanks to everyone for their efforts in organizing and giving their time in Rush this Fall. We couldn’t have done it without your help.
EPSILON ETA LECOM Just to recap, Epsilon Eta’s rushing events are going on this month! We have completed three out of the four rushing events we have planned. Our informational meeting event was held on campus and it was a successful one. We got to meet 15 new potential pledges. Our second rush event was “Keep Manatee Beautiful” Beach Clean Up, where we cleaned along our very own sponsored beach at Bradenton Beach. Our third event was bowling at AMF Bowling Lane in Bradenton. We asked for the Brothers and potential pledges to bring school supplies to be donated to the underserved schools in Sarasota/Bradenton area. Lastly, we are looking forward to our last and fourth rush event, the Sunset Interview on November 6th at Anna Maria Beach. We would love for you to come out and join us for our last event and meet the new potential pledges. Also, Epsilon Eta would like to thank the Brothers from other Chapters who came to our rush events! Your time and help are greatly appreciated! THE INSERT

ZETA DELTA UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA â&#x20AC;¨ The Brothers of Zeta Delta began the fall semester with the greatest motivation after returning from GCC. During the first weeks of August, Zeta Delta kicked off the Rush season by hosting a barbeque for the college at our park that we adopted this past year. This is a great way for the Brothers and rushees to mingle, while showing the college our dedication to keeping the community clean. Following the barbeque is a week of interactive events, including two information sessions, a speed dating event, and Operation Gratitude. The speed dating event is a great way to facilitate interactions with each Brother and rushee on a more personal and individual basis. Whereas Operation Gratitude is an amazing philanthropy event held during Rush week where we write letters and donate care packages to soldiers overseas. After this successful Rush season we gained 12 Gamma pledges. Since we are a very young chapter we are still learning the ropes of the pledging process, however, our pledge committee is doing an incredible job. They have learned from the Brothers before them and have such a strong vision for the pledges. Our pledging process focuses greatly on unity, professionalism, and confidence. The pledges have shown such growth in their selfreflections and are coming together as a unified group. They have demonstrated this through creating a virtual pledge class yearbook, understanding their strength and weaknesses, creating a legacy notebook, developing a music video and many professional interviews. We also have unity events throughout the pledging process, which include a social event that the pledges host as well as a community clean up event at our park, Takomah Trail. Coming up we have Zeta Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gamma pledge class talent show, which is always a great way to see our pledges dynamic as well as get a few laughs. We hope to see you all there!

10 YEARS OF DELTA OMEGA BY: ERIN DAVIDSON, ZETA GAMMA
The Southeast Province was shown some real southern charm when the Brothers of Delta Omega hosted Fall Assembly in historic Savannah, GA September 11-13. As this was the 10 year anniversary of the chartering of Delta Omega, this was sure to be quite the celebration. The weekend began with a classic trolley ride to the historic district, for a social Friday night at Tree House. Brothers from all across the SEP gathered for some fellowship and to catch up before business started on Saturday. Saturday was full of business and leadership development. Brothers had the opportunity to attend three workshops, throughout the morning session. There were workshops catered to each Brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particular interest and they focused on Brother, leadership, professional or graduate development. Thank you to the Brothers who volunteered their time to lead these breakout sessions. In the afternoon session officers and committees gave their reports which are still available online for your reference. Chapter reports were also shown in video form, and chapter awards were presented by Brother Leah Marcelin. Congratulations to the following chapters for winning awards: Zeta Delta: Industry and Sobriety Awards, Delta Rho: High Ideals, Best Chapter Report, Epsilon Mu: Fellowship Award, Chapter of the Year. During assembly, Delta Omega continued fundraising through a YETI cooler raffle for the TEAL walk for Ovarian Cancer, raising over $11,000 and collected items to donate to patients receiving chemotherapy. Zeta Delta, as a chapter donated the most items and won the large Kappa Psi letters as a prize. Saturday night the trolleys took us out to scenic Tybee Island where we enjoyed some low country seafood at The Crab Shack. During dinner, Brother Josh Trone was recognized for his 10 years of continued service to Delta Omega and Savannah Grad. The weekend concluded on Sunday with a barbeque at Lake Mayer Park, sponsored by Savannah Grad. Thank you Delta Omega and Savannah Grad for welcoming us and showing us such a wonderful time at Fall Assembly.

OUTSTANDING VOLUNTEER BY: ERIN DAVIDSON, ZETA GAMMA
The Professional Fraternity Association (PFA) was established in 1978 via a merger of the Professional Interfraternity Conference and Professional Panhellenic Assocaiton. Pharmacy and pharmaceutical fraternities constitute the largest membership of the PFA, they promote high standards on campus and in professional practices, aligning perfectly with Kappa Psi’s four pillars, Industry, Sobriety, Fellowship and High Ideals. Each year PFA r e c o g n i z e s fraternities and individuals for their work in their respective fraternities and communities. On September 9th, Brother Saswat Kabisatpathy was presented the “Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Award.” This honor is reserved for “an individual member of a PFA member group deserving of recognition for exceptional service or extraordinary commitment to the fraternity or community during the preceding year.” As we all know, these words could not be truer of our Brother Swat. He is always up for a road trip, will always lend a motivational word and is a great mentor to many Brothers across the SEP. We are so proud of you Swat, congratulations!
GAINESVILLE GRAD It brings the Southeast Province such joy to welcome our newest chapter, Gainesville Graduate Chapter. It is with open arms we would like to recognize the founding Brothers: Kyle Barron, Christian Calderon, Jared Cardoza, Kevin Davis, Andy Hendrickson, Joseph Ladd, Brian Maas, Bill Millard, Tony Palmieri, Chris Popun, Jason Powell, and Chris Richter. The establishment of another graduate chapter in our great province only reaffirms that Kappa Psi is for life, and your continued commitment will go far beyond your collegiate years. As graduation approaches for many fourth years, be sure to reach out to your local Graduate Chapter. THE INSERT

SOCIAL MEDIA PROFESSIONALISM IN PHARMACY PRACTICE BY: JEANA KETT, ZETA GAMMA
What did you do in the 60 seconds before opening this newsletter? Every 60 seconds 293,000 statuses are updated, 136,000 photos are uploaded, and 510 comments are posted on Facebook1. With social media use skyrocketing in the past 5 years it is becoming increasingly popular for companies to get in on the action. As of January 2015, there were 1.393 billion monthly active users on Facebook and 280 million monthly active users on Twitter2. This leads us to a very important question: What is the role of social media in healthcare? Social media is well known for its personal use including updating statuses, posting photos, and following friends, however, it is becoming increasingly common for people to use social media as a means to find health related information. A recent statistic showed that 28% of health-related conversations on Facebook are supporting health-related causes, followed by 27% of people commenting about health experiences or updates3. Many say this is a step in the right direction since it shows people being pro-active about their health. Forty percent of consumers say information found via social media affects the way they deal with their health and 90% of respondents 18-24 years old said they would trust medical information shared by others on their social media network3. It is not uncommon today for healthcare providers to utilize social media as a means to deliver health-related information. With 26% of all hospitals in the US participating in social media3 and 60% of physicians stating their most popular activities on social media are following what colleagues are sharing and discussing3, it appears as though social media can improve healthcare, but how are patients responding to this? A recent statistic showed 54% of patients are very comfortable with their provider seeking advice from online communities to better treat their conditions and 60% of doctors say social media improves the quality of care delivered to patients3. This shows that social media can greatly benefit individuals looking for an alternative way to receive health-related information and that many providers in healthcare are already utilizing this alternative method. As of March, 2015, 464,085 people were following the CDC on Facebook and 459,274 following Drugs.com on Facebook, a health and wellness website informing the population with “independent advice on more than 24,000 prescription drugs, over the counter medicines and natural products”4. Individuals are also utilizing social media for support for chronic conditions such as The Congestive Heart Failure Support Group, a social support network for individuals coping with heart failure. Along with the many benefits of utilizing social media in the healthcare industry come many risks. With many avenues in social media that patients are using to receive health-related information, how are we ensuring that the information posted is accurate, comprehendible, and protective of private health information? Currently, only 31% of health care organizations have specific social media guidelines in writing and 23% of drug companies have not addressed security and privacy in terms of social media3. It seems as though there is a huge gap between people utilizing social media for healthcare and how that information is being monitored for accuracy and security.

Another major concern for many companies utilizing social media for healthcare is professionalism. In a 2013 article titled Innovations in Pharmacy, Social Media and Unprofessional Pharmacists Conduct: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Boards of Pharmacy, pharmacists’ utilization of social media was analyzed. The purpose was “to determine how often boards of pharmacy receive complaints related to licensee’s online behavior, and what types of online behaviors may prompt an investigation of a licensee.”6 There was a moderate consensus (50-75%) regarding further board investigation for an individual placing a photo of a patient receiving vaccine therapy on the Internet without consent, depiction of alcohol use in the workplace without intoxication on Facebook post, and depiction of alcohol use outside of workplace with intoxication on Myspace page. If a Board of Pharmacy is having difficulty coming to a consensus regarding individual professionalism on social media, then there are also implications and difficulties regarding companies, specifically hospitals, utilizing social media. This is particularly troubling when we know that less than half have written guidelines in place to ensure security and privacy. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) has issued a statement on its website regarding pharmacists’ use of social media.7 ASHP recommends that pharmacists use social media because these tools can help educate the public about the best uses of medication and disseminate information rapidly. However, professional standards concerning medical advice must be maintained and pharmacists must understand the limits of the new form of media. ASHP strongly warns against violation of patient privacy and against disparagement of patients, even in anonymous terms. ASHP states “Medical advice offered through social media should be provided in accordance with the professional standards of pharmacy practice. For example, pharmacy professionals should provide medical advice only with a complete understanding of the patient’s medical conditions and only if they accept the associated liabilities, especially those regarding privacy and the requirements of pharmacy practice. Pharmacy professionals should be aware that providing medical advice may create a pharmacist–patient relationship, which incorporates all of its obligations and liabilities. All online relationships should conform to the ethical boundaries of an appropriate pharmacist–patient relationship”.7 When Michael Jackson, Florida Pharmacy Association’s Executive Vice President and CEO, was asked his thoughts regarding social media and usage by pharmacists, his response was the following:
“Social media can be a great tool that can be used to inform the public on pharmacy issues provided that the message is crafted carefully and has an element of entertainment applied to it. Each of us may have a Facebook page or Twitter account that receives posts almost every other minute. We may hand sweep through posts that have no interest but tap into those messages that have relevance to our lives. To get the best views by the public, the message has to drive home a need for it to be opened. If the message is profound enough then it is shared which is how social media works best. It is important however that your message is correct, relevant, timely and has a positive spin that has meaning to the general public.” There is an enormous amount of information related to healthcare on the internet. Unfortunately, this information is not always accurate or from a reputable source (i.e. medical doctor or pharmacist). However, with more reputable sources joining the forces we can help make social media a more accurate and secure venue for our patients to access healthcare information and take

charge of their health. This should not replace other methods of receiving healthcare such as medical journals and face-to-face interaction, but rather be a supplement. Patients are already utilizing social media and we should consider it on of our duties to help insure that the information is accurate and keeps patient safety at the forefront. If you are interested in incorporating social media into your company, whether by creating a company page on a social media website or utilizing iPADs in the pharmacy for patient consultation via internet, here are a few things to keep in mind: •
Implement written guidelines with specifics on accuracy of information and patient safety.
• Information should be informative, and in lay language that the general public can understand and not misinterpret. •
Keep personal and professional social media accounts separate.
•
Always have another individual review before posting to check for errors/syntax.
•
Never include patient specific information (HIPAA).
Let us embrace social media as a venue to reach a large number of individuals to increase patient awareness/health, insure patient safety, and continue to keep pharmacy and pharmacists as a pillar in the community.
