THEPRESIDENTS CIRCLE

President’s Circle members can join at any time during the year with a recurring monthly gift which can make the gift easier to fulfill. The giving circle began in May 2023 according to Clanton Johnson, Director of Donor Relations, who said “We are creating more ways to say thank you and honor those who invest in our programs.”

Over the next year, new benefits will be rolled out, such as special communications and some memorabilia as staff find creative ways to say thank you to these generous brothers.

I seek the counsel first of other members of Psi U first, largely because I know that the first priority is the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood, and that bond that we share in that shared experience that we have.

Doesn’t happen often, but it was a very useful tool when an S.U. lineman wants to pick on you for the night.

That concept transcends all different areas of your life. You’re going to encounter many ups and downs; you’re going to have the brothers at your side. As you experienced highs and lows of your careers, you’ll have brothers to celebrate with you when you get a great job. And who’ll give you a place to sleep on when you lose it. Or you run into trouble. You’ll get married, maybe you’ll have a family; brothers will be at your wedding, and they’ll console you when you get divorced (If you get divorced, sorry), as you need a little shoulder to lean on. There’s gonna be a brother there for you. When you show up in town for a business meeting, in a place you haven’t been in a while, in a long time, you find a brother that maybe you haven’t talked to in 10-15 years. And the next thing you know, there’s going to be 5-10 guys to meet you out for dinner or to grab a quick beer. That’s
