Psi Upsilon Garnet Report, Jan 2023

Report Report The GarneT

2023

“When I was [an undergraduate] in the Fraternity…being a committed brother and an officer gives you a connection. I understood [Psi Upsilon is an] international organization and what the international office did for the chapters. International relies on alumni who give back to provide services and I know how important that is. I guess you could compare it to the professional org I’m in. We have membership dues and use that to support members. We couldn’t do it without the dues.”

- Paul Bush, Phi ‘76

THANK YOU!

Engaging the support of the recent generations is crucial to the health of our organization. This ongoing series highlights some of our younger brothers to find our what they are up to, and to explore the ways they are supporting Psi Upsilon and how it applies to their lives.

VOICES FROM THE NEXT GENERATION of Psi U support

PAUL BUSH, Phi ‘76 (U. of Michigan)

PAUL BUSH Phi ‘76 (University of Michigan)

At the University of Michigan in the 60’s and 70’s the membership of Psi Upsilon largely drew from wealthier families from the east side of Detroit, primarily from Grosse Pointe and St Clair Shores area. A shift began in 1972 with an incoming class with different backgrounds and from other areas of Michigan. Brother Paul Bush (Phi ‘76) pledged alongside those brothers which enhanced the chapters diversity.

Bush recounts the sea change in membership not as a contentious but one of the struggle for

growth and bonding. He recalls fond memories of back yard field hockey and co-ed mixers. His recommendation of our society became so great that he successfully encouraged his own familial brother Mark to join him at Michigan and in the brotherhood of Psi Upsilon. During his sophomore and junior years Paul Bush resided in the house and during his junior year served as President of the chapter. While Bush did move out during his senior and fifth year, with a longer matriculation due to his enrollment as a pharmacy student, he remained an active brother contributing as he could.

Not everyone knows what they want to do with their life on the first day of college but Brother Bush did. Entering the University of Michigan as a pharmacy student he knew that he would spend five years instead of four but would end his time with a full professional degree to practice pharmacy.

What does being a brother of Psi Upsilon mean to you today?

I get to be part of a broad network of people who have all committed to supporting one another academically, professionally, socially, and more.

How do you stay connected to brothers?

Psi Upsilon has already given me so much, I give to make sure our fraternity is able to continue providing that experience to others

Why do you give?

I haven’t missed a Convention since 2012. I hope to see you all in Atlanta this year!

Do you have a favorite Psi U Program?

My favorite programs are the scholarships and the Social Impact Fellowship.

In 1 sentence, may I have a quote from you on why is it important to support Psi U?

Psi U helps keep us connected at a time when it’s easy to feel isolated.

PAUL BUSH Phi ‘76 (University of Michigan)

Continued from pg.

a pharmacist. His current position is professionally fulfilling, with the added benefit of placing him close to his children and grandchildren.

When asked what advice he would give to younger Psi U’s he said to not ignore the networking aspect of college. Many of the people in your classes will be the people you have professional relationships outside of college and for the rest of your life.

For fraternity brothers specifically, he mentions the care and improvement of the fraternity house. During his undergraduate years, most brothers were strong supporters of the Psi U legacy and the beautiful house on Hill Street. The brothers organized projects to improve the grounds and made improvements to the basement so it could be used for relaxation, games, and parties.

Brother Bush has consistently donated for 43 years to Psi Upsilon and says of donations:

“I’ve been a consistent contributor since graduation and feel very good about my commitment to Psi Upsilon. Consistent giving year over year is very important as it provides a foundation of support for the fraternity. It’s just the right thing to do”
