FROM AN OWL
Controlling Friendship and Free Speech “I am incredulous.” That was the first sentence of the letter written by the late Henry Poor, Gamma ‘39 (Amherst) to the Amherst College Board of Trustees in late February of 1984. In a callous grab for real estate and power, Amherst “discontinued” its fraternity system at the end of that school year, without ever understanding what a fraternity was.
By: Mark D. Bauer, Omega ‘84 (Chicago) That’s right. Amherst College, justly recognized for Executive Council Life being one of America’s great institutions of higher Member Professor of Law, Stetson University
learning, never really gave much thought to what it was eliminating. And that’s why it didn’t work the first time.
Henry was a loyal Amherst alumnus. He spent his entire life in education, serving as headmaster of Deerfield, and in his later years, as executive director of Psi Upsilon. Every moment was a teaching moment for Henry, which made him the ideal bridge for Psi Upsilon, from an era of privilege to a culture emphasizing inclusiveness. Henry believed that the missions of Amherst and Psi Upsilon were complementary. Outside the classroom, the Fraternity would teach and model leadership, chivalry, service, and philanthropy. Psi Upsilon and the other fraternities served Amherst well. When Amherst had no money or interest to build dormitories for students, the fraternities stepped in and their alumni built some of the most breathtaking collegiate residence halls North America has ever known. But they hemmed in Amherst’s growth over the following decades. Rich though Amherst was, the college did not have the money to buy out or otherwise replace the fraternity houses, owned by private fraternity alumni corporations. In the 1960s, when Amherst asked the fraternities to sell these magnificent buildings to the college for $1, Henry was uneasy. Amherst explained that the College would deal with property taxes and other mundane administrative issues, but that the fraternities would be free to continue forever in the houses their alumni had built. Henry was uncomfortable with that decision, but he was an Amherst man first, college right or wrong. Henry’s greatest misgiving was that these deals were sealed by a handshake, but after all, Henry said, “an Amherst man does not go back on his word.”
By the early 1970s equal rights for women became enshrined in law and, increasingly, in culture. Almost every college in the United States began to admit women, including Amherst. Psi Upsilon found itself in a unique position because the founders of our fraternity never mentioned gender in our Constitution, and we have never sought to supplant their wisdom. In a few chapters of Psi Upsilon, the undergraduates decided the highest moral, intellectual, and social excellence required initiating women as brothers. In fact, it was the women at the first coed chapter who honored Psi Upsilon’s heritage as a customarily all-male fraternity by insisting that all members be called brothers regardless of gender. When the Gamma chapter undergraduates voted to admit women equally to men, no one was prouder than Henry. But few institutions, including Amherst College itself, were as forward thinking. Foreshadowing its botched management of fraternities, and in wild juxtaposition to the reasoned analysis and research being conducted elsewhere on campus, formerly all-male colleges like Amherst, Williams, Colby, and Bowdoin thought admitting women was as simple as adding a gender box on the application and converting a few bathrooms. With unequal housing, athletics, and social opportunities for women, these colleges created a gender schism that still dominates conversation on these campuses decades after women first arrived. Rather than recognize the true villain, campus debate revolved over the unequal housing and social facilities available to non-fraternity members. Since Amherst owned all the houses and didn’t think much of student self-governance, the College first ordered the remaining fraternities to admit women, and then ordered the fraternity system as a whole to find a place for every student seeking membership.

UNDERGRADUATE INTERFRATERNITY INSTITUTE DAY OF SERVICE
During the 171st Convention, brothers built an outdoor living classroom for Fountain Hill Elementary School, Lehigh PA. They also painted interior spaces, weeded flower beds, did exterior prep, and repainted play areas.
“It was truly an honor to be a part of the event and we are so very appreciative of the Fraternity’s clear commitment toward community outreach.” - Paige Warbrick, Community School Director
For the first time Psi Upsilon provided seven scholarships to the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute, a premier 5-day leadership experience for undergraduate fraternity men and women. Blake Romero is building a strong new chapter at San Diego State University with skills developed at UIFI.

I constantly socialize with Brothers. I do business with Brothers, I laugh with Brothers, I have traveled the world with Brothers, learned business, management & leadership skills, remained humble; I always have a bed to sleep in, a helping hand, or a shirt off a back. I do not know who I’d be without my Brothers. I don’t want to know. Money is the least I can give back.” - Eric Simons, Delta ’80 NYU
I give to Psi Upsilon every year because Psi U provides real support to help improve the undergraduate college experience for each member during their time in school and help make lifetime friendships. - Brad Corner, Omicron '72 University of Illinois
I give to Psi U every year because for brothers, old and young, our legacy is worth maintaining. - Patrick Armstrong, Epsilon Nu '01 Michigan State University
I have given to Psi Upsilon every year since I graduated as a small way of saying thank you for the support that Psi Upsilon provided to me and the Kappa chapter. I can't imagine college without Psi Upsilon. My annual gifts are a way to pay it forward and stay connected. - Jordan Shields, Kappa '98 Bowdoin College 4 | THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON
DONOR PROFILES Alumnus Points to Fraternity’s Vital Role in Young Brothers’ Lives John Thaler, Omega ‘97 (University of Chicago) calls the “gigantic rise in college tuition coupled with an uncertain job environment” far and away the biggest challenge college students face today. Thaler, a 1997 graduate in economics from the University of Chicago, admits that his own generation was largely spared the difficulty. “It’s a clear problem for all these kids,” Thaler contends. “And that’s where I see Psi Upsilon able to play its biggest role in our students’ lives — to help them transition from student to professional, across all sectors of the business world. Scholarships can help brothers one at a time. But when you look at the collective membership, you need leadership training that can reach the masses. That’s where the fraternity can best create a structured dynamic, a clear path by which they can impact today’s undergraduates’ lives.” John knows what it takes to succeed. Following a decade of holding successful positions in investment, he struck out on his own in 2007, launching JAT Capital just ahead of the Great Recession. Today, the global long/short equity hedge fund manages a multi-billion dollar portfolio. Yet he says if it had not been for the fraternity, he’d have likely ended up in law or medicine. “When I was 18 years old, I’d not been around very many people who worked on Wall Street. But after joining our Omega Chapter, there were a lot of economics majors going off to the investment and banking sector. In fact, I nearly chose to leave and study my entire junior year in Berlin, which would’ve taken me in a different direction. Ultimately, I decided I didn’t want to leave my Psi U friends for a whole year.” Thaler agrees that beyond those friendships, young brothers need skills they learn in a fraternal environment long after they move into a career. “Teamwork is certainly a big one,” he says. “At the chapter and in my business today, it’s critical to be able to function as a unit where people are assigned and meeting individual responsibilities in order to achieve a collective goal.” It’s the sum total of his fraternal journey and friendships that have moved Brother Thaler to contribute back to the success of both his chapter and the Psi Upsilon Foundation. “I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to be a brother in Psi Upsilon. Reinvesting back what I received from my experience in the fraternity is very important to me. This is one way I can help other Psi U brothers have the same opportunity I had and learn the important life lessons I obtained that have shaped the person I am today.”

have shared a house with some, some have been in my wedding party ... If I am traveling I try to make an effort to at least call a local brother just to catch up.”
But Gary Pan, Eta ‘86 (Lehigh) was not your average college freshman. When asked during high school what he thought he wanted to do, Gary rattled off his well-planned litany of professional goals. “First I’m going to ... and then I’ll ... and by 1992 I should be able to ...”
Gary’s natural leadership abilities and his heart for service earned him undergraduate roles as treasurer, rush chairman, vice president, and archon. As an alumnus, he’s continued to give back as a dedicated Alumni Advisory Board member and past member of the Executive Council. He is currently a Psi Upsilon Foundation director and serves on the scholarship committee.
That ten-year professional plan was quite specific, and, extraordinarily, Gary Pan accomplished it just as he set out to do. The Weston, Massachusetts native earned his BS in electrical engineering with a minor in legal studies from Lehigh University in 1986. Gary attended Virginia Tech to finish an MBA and later began the pursuit of a doctorate of management (organizational leadership) from University of Phoenix. In 1990, he founded his own company. “Being fortunate enough to know that I wanted to start an information technology and systems engineering firm supporting the federal government,” he says, “I strategically moved to Washington, DC, cut my teeth at a small firm in my target industry to gain valuable experience, and eventually launched out on my own with Panacea Consulting.” One thing that hadn’t been in the plan, however, was joining a fraternity. “No, I hadn’t planned on that,” he admits. “But one night I went to a movie and met a group of guys sitting next to me and they were great.” They were Eta chapter Psi U brothers. Soon enough, Gary was one, too. It was through Psi Upsilon that Gary says he had the opportunity to grow the most in college. “I was extremely shy in high school. It was pretty bad – I could never get up in front of a group or express myself confidently. Psi U gave me my biggest opportunities to grow at Lehigh. It was a safe, supportive environment where I could develop my communication and leadership skills. That was on top of finding lifelong friends.” Unlike those fraternity graduates who never look back after leaving campus, Gary understood the value of the family he had found. “No way did I think it was the end. We were brothers for life. I have worked professionally with some of my brothers, I
Gary’s scholarship committee work is particularly meaningful for him. First, he says it gives him the chance to follow the lead of Henry Poor, Gamma ‘39 (Amherst) who heralded the importance of promoting academic excellence among Psi U undergraduates. “Having worked with Henry for many years, I consider him a role model and someone to emulate.” “The second reason has to do with Curtis J. Rettke. Curt was a fellow Eta – a couple years older than I – who came to join me at Panacea during its formative years. He was instrumental in helping the firm grow and mature. Later, Curt succumbed to lymphoma leukemia and I led an effort to establish a named scholarship in his memory. I continue my work on the scholarship committee to honor Curt.” Gary Pan says he’s amazed and inspired by the academic, fraternity and civic leadership espoused by the “diverse and accomplished group of young men and women” in Psi U. The depth of his connection with the Fraternity led Gary to give back through financial support for the Psi Upsilon Foundation dating all the way back to his first year as an alumnus. In recent years, he stepped forward with a major gift to the Leadership Initiative. “Investing in others is who I am. It’s in my DNA. And I believe in investing in our fraternity and our future leaders. Psi Upsilon has so many wonderful programs and resources that really make a difference for our undergraduates. Beyond scholarships is our Archons Academy and this summer’s Leadership Institute. Establishing a financial foundation that continues to provide valuable resources for undergraduate education is investing in our collective future.” THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON | 5

171st Psi Upsilon
Convention & 2014 Leadership Institute
Known for its rich colonial and industrial history, Bethlehem Pennsylvania became the focal point of all things Psi U for three days in June, 2014. The 171st Psi Upsilon Convention hosted by the Eta chapter, found unique and varied shopping and arts districts during three perfect summer days. It is at the Convention where all of Psi U comes together: the undergraduates and alumni, the Executive Council and Psi Upsilon Foundation, local alumni and alumni from across North America. Each year they gather to govern and celebrate Psi U. The 171st Convention dealt with future Convention sites, reviewed the actions of the Executive Council, received the Annual Communication, and recognized chapters and individuals with Convention awards. At the Psi Upsilon Foundation Founders Society and Scholarship luncheon, donors were recognized as well as 2014-15. scholarship recipients. The luncheon featured Dr. Ken Ball, Eta ‘82, dean of the Volgenau School of Engineering at George Mason University. Ken chaired the Convention committee for the last Convention held with the Eta in 1984. This Convention will long be remembered for its service learning immersion project. A living classroom was constructed and

assembled as part of a service-learning project by the men and women attending Psi Upsilon’s 171st Convention in partnership with Fountain Hill Elementary School. Fountain Hill Elementary is a community school; both a place and a set of partnerships between the school and various community services. Almost 100 Psi U’s spent the day painting, scraping, weeding and building to enhance this community asset. Play areas came to life with fresh paint, classrooms and hallways were painted, gardens weeded, and metal handrails scraped. A living learning classroom in the form of a garden with shed was built. The living classroom contains a garden to provide children with hands-on learning experiences, teaching them engaging, garden-based lessons. These lessons complement the existing classroom curriculum. The flexible space with the secured shed provide the students, teachers and families of the Fountain Hill Elementary School a place to grow, share and explore the natural world. The Eta chapter and Fountain Hill along with Lehigh University, have been partnering for many years. The Fraternity’s day of service at Fountain Hill School exemplified the power of community partnerships leading to community and personal development.

INFLUENCE FOR GOOD: A Leader’s Leader, A Friend for Life 8 | THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON
Attending Stuyvesant High School in New York City in the late 1970s, first-generation American Kenneth Weinstein found himself among teens who, like himself, had been admitted to the highly selective school based upon their excellent performance on a rigorous academic admission test. Yet throughout his years at Stuyvesant, Ken remained unsure of himself, lacking confidence. Shy and studious, he chose the University of Chicago “because it reminded me of my high school.” He wanted to fit in with like-minded young adults.
Arriving at college, this son of Jewish immigrants recalls that joining a fraternity was the farthest thing from his mind.
Unto Him Befalls A Mighty Friendship ... It was his freshman roommate and U of C football player Tom Lee who took him to his first Psi Upsilon pledge event. Weinstein laughs, “Ironically, Psi U might have, in our day, resembled the Animal House movie, which was one of my favorite movies. But not how I pictured myself. Most of the brothers seemed far wilder than I was. The house wasn’t in great shape. And yet, there was real character there among the guys. It struck me that here was something to which I could belong, something I needed.” Ken ended up joining the brotherhood that “taught me to laugh, to laugh heartily, to see the fun in things.”
ANCIENT THINKER ... Yet going far beyond just mirth, Weinstein credits Psi Upsilon with instilling in him a broader sense of himself as he developed confidence, skills and perspectives that have carried him far. “Psi U opened the world to me in many ways. By being responsible for ourselves but looking out for each other, we learned how to be adults. My closest brothers had a similar background to me – we all were first-generation Americans of different origins Greek, Chinese, Mexican and Jewish – all unsure of ourselves, worried about fitting in and worried about our futures.” That worry and uncertainty, coupled with opportunities provided within Psi U, fueled the chapter brothers in their quest for achievement. Elected chapter president in 1982, Ken became all the more attuned to the importance of teamwork, of listening, of cooperation and compromise, and taking action when necessary. Practicing those leadership skills have served not just him, but “other chapter brothers who are amazing successes – two are CEOs, another is chief of pediatric surgery at Stony Brook University, another a highly successful lawyer. We had no idea that the future would be so good to us. But it was Psi U which placed us in an environment in which we could flourish.” Upon his 1984 graduation from Chicago with a degree in humanities, Weinstein admits he anticipated “the end” of his association with his chapter brothers. “Those last few weeks were tough,” he recalls. “Close as we’d become, we also realized that life would never be the same. I remember hugging these guys in a tearful farewell in the parking lot of the Omega house. Pulling out of the alley behind the house, I started my long drive east. That was hard.”
“The society we have described can never grow into a reality or see the light of day, and there will be no end to the troubles of states, or indeed, my dear Glaucon, of humanity itself, till philosophers become rulers in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.” ― Plato, The Republic In this most prominent and influential of the Socratic dialogues, the Greek philosopher proposes man’s quest to define the meaning of justice, explore its relationship to happiness, and suggest that the ideal government be led by “philosopher-kings.” Plato further holds that education should be “the art of orientation.” That is, that a student’s intellect and faculties of learning need not be development in capacity, but rather must be redirected. “Educators should devise the simplest and most effective methods of turning minds around.”
THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON | 9
On Further Thought ... Having been drawn to international studies as an undergraduate, Weinstein traveled to Paris to secure an advanced research degree in Soviet and Eastern European Studies, followed by completion of his doctorate in political science from Harvard University. It was while working on his thesis at Harvard in 1991 that an advisor told him of a fellowship opening to join the Hudson Institute, a nonpartisan think tank and policy research organization then located in Indianapolis. Ken seized the opportunity, working his way up to CEO in 2005, and named president and CEO in 2011.
MODERN THOUGHT ... Hudson Institute is a leading policy research organization promoting sound, innovative strategies that advance global security, prosperity and freedom. Founded in 1961 by strategist Herman Kahn, the independent think tank helps to facilitate major social, cultural, and political transitions happening nationally and internationally through interdisciplinary studies in defense, international relations, economics, health care, technology, culture, and law. Located in Washington, DC, Hudson’s depth and breadth of intellectual capital, along with its growing array of authoritative publications, conferences, briefings and recommendations, render it one of America’s leading guides for public policy makers and leaders across the globe. Ken Weinstein serves as president and chief executive officer. Hudson Institute is a notfor-profit charitable organization financed by tax-deductible contributions and by government grants.
10 | THE DIAMOND OF PSI UPSILON
“When I began, Hudson’s work was more focused at the state level. My role there has definitely been transformative as we’ve transitioned to influence more national and international issues,” Weinstein says. In mid 2004, Hudson moved its operations to Washington, DC. Today, Weinstein leads a team of more than a dozen directors and administrative personnel, along with a host of fellows and researchers.
“There remains a great need for strong and engaged leadership in America. Hudson will be the go-to think tank on issues of critical foreign and defense policy issues. We’re adding significant talent to an already significantly strong bench of talent. We’re much more regularly briefing people on Capitol Hill.” “Think tanks have been absolutely critical to decisions made in Washington,” he asserts, “particularly in the last generation or two. They serve to incubate ideas. They provide people who are ‘coming and going’ from public office a unique place from which they can formulate and implement new ideas. I believe organizations like Hudson are also incredibly important to maintaining ties with our allies and peers around the world.” Weinstein says he’s privileged to “have a front seat” in getting to know some amazing world leaders. “The prime minister of Japan, Shinzō Abe, is especially impressive, a very strategic and forward-thinking leader who has a broad sense of where he wants to take his country. And I admire Joe Liberman immensely.”

Back to Brotherhood ... It turns out the Omega brothers Ken “left behind” that day on the parking lot in fact have been beside him all along the way. “They’ve been here for me throughout my life, in good times and bad. We’ve been at each other’s weddings, our kids’ bar and bat mitzahs, at critical professional junctures and at the deaths of our parents. Our wives and kids know each other – we’ve vacationed together.” Last May, Ken and Amy Kauffman Weinstein received devastating news. Their 15-year-old son Harry was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, a sub-type of acute leukemia. “On the day Harry was diagnosed, I reached out to two Psi U brothers, John Maraganore (CEO of one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical firms) and Tom Lee (my freshman roommate and now chief of pediatric surgery at Stony Brook). This was the darkest moment of my life, and these guys stepped up in a way that I will remember until I go to my grave. Within a few hours, they both put me in touch with major national specialists who reassured us that our course of treatment at Children’s National Medical Center was the right one – and they gave us hope for a much better prognosis.” Lee and Maraganore also spearheaded a trip to DC, organizing a group of Omega brothers from all over to come and cheer up their former chapter president and friend. “I am so choked up when I think of what these brothers have done for me,” Ken says, “and how much they love my son.”

A lifelong influence for good ... Beyond friendship, of all that “fraternity” means for young men, which lifelong advantage does Weinstein feel Psi Upsilon was best able to offer him? “Psi U gave me confidence in my ability to be a leader. My friends and I were college kids — full of energy, but really unsure of ourselves and our abilities. Playing a leadership role at Psi U afforded me confidence in my strengths, but also insights into my weaknesses. “I didn’t realize how fundamental that was in shaping me. Being president — and I had to have been the least likely guy
to be elected — gave me invaluable experiences. You learn how to listen; you learn how to make decisions; you learn how to focus; you learn how to run a meeting. You also learn your limitations as to how much you can take on. You have to deal with confrontation ... and learn from your mistakes.” From his days as a shy and studious high school scholar, Ken Weinstein has come very far. All that the brotherhood has offered remains his today. “I feel really blessed. We haven’t always seen each other every year; but when it matters, we’re there for each other; in ways that are absolutely critical.”
A political theorist by training, Kenneth R. Weinstein has written widely on international affairs for leading publications in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He has been decorated with a knighthood in arts and letters by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication as a Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He serves by presidential appointment and Senate confirmation as a member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the oversight body for U.S. government civilian international media, including such networks as the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia and Middle East Broadcasting. Weinstein previously served by presidential appointment and Senate confirmation on the National Humanities Council, the governing body of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Weinstein has been a member of numerous non-governmental commissions and task forces on foreign and defense policy, and serves on the boards of non-profit organizations in the U.S. and in Europe. He and his wife live in Georgetown with their three children.
“THINKING ABOUT THE UNTHINKABLE” Ken Weinstein on better equipping today’s college students in the skills and literacy necessary for them to thrive in a complex world ... “A liberal education used to provide students with the ability to transcend their own horizon — the narrow perspective that is the result of our upbringings. To make students reflect on how best to lead their lives, traditional liberal education relied upon reading great works of philosophy, literature and history — and seeking answers within the deep questions raised by, say, Plato, Aristotle, Rousseau or Nietzsche. Today, liberal education is no longer liberal nor universal. Academics have become increasingly specialized. Rather than teaching students how to think, they seek to teach students disciplines as they now exist. So, my field, political science, no longer really asks
students to know history or strategy, which is necessary for international affairs. Instead, it uses pseudoscience models to explain political behavior. Teaching international relations theory or rational choice theory is a very poor way to train future leaders how to think about critical and unexpected policy challenges. I think the best kind of education is an intense interaction with the great minds of the past, to see how they thought, and how they shaped or rejected the beliefs and horizons we live within today. Combining a true liberal education with a deeper sense of policy challenges — an understanding that, as the founder of Hudson Institute Herman Kahn put it, ‘thinking about the unthinkable,’ to understand how the world of tomorrow could be very different than the world of today, offers an excellent preparation for the future.”

The Elusive Mr. Pond: The Soldier, Fur Trader and Explorer Who Opened the Northwest
Sir Alexander Mackenzie is known to schoolchildren as a great Canadian explorer who gave his name to the country’s longest river, but hardly anyone could name the man who mentored Mackenzie and mapped much of northwestern Canada before him. Soldier, fur trader and explorer Peter Pond, the subject of this long overdue book, is a man whose legend has been forgotten in favor of those who came after him. Much of Pond’s life is shadowed in mystery. Historian Barry Gough uses Pond’s surviving memoirs, explorers’ journals, letters written by acquaintances of Pond, publications in London magazines and many other sources to track and reconstruct the life of one of the last of the tough, old-style explorers who ventured into the wilderness with little more than a strong instinct for survival and helped shape the modern world.

James P. Lenfestey, Zeta ‘66 (Dartmouth College) Seeking the Cave: A Pilgrimage To Cold Mountain
In this transformative book, award-winning poet and essayist James Lenfestey makes an epic journey across the world to find the Cold Mountain Cave, a location long believed to exist only in myths and the ancient home of his idol, Han Shan, author of the Cold Mountain poems. Lenfestey’s voyage takes him from the Midwestern United States to Tokyo to a road trip across the expanse of China with frequent excursions to the country’s rich historical and cultural landmarks. As he makes his way to the cave, Lenfestey learns more than history or geography; he discovers his identity as a writer and a poet. Interspersed with poems by both the author and Han Shan, Seeking the Cave will appeal to lovers of poetry and travel narrative alike.
Ernie Wood, Psi ‘69 (Hamilton College) One Red Thread
When architect Eddy McBride, a fortysomething self-absorbed noticer of details and self-appointed seeker of truths, stumbles upon a way to visit, watch and ultimately participate in events from his family history, he finds answers to long-ago tragedies and mysteries. But each time Eddy returns to the present, he unleashes the unhappy consequences of exploring history on his family and friends. And as Eddy’s knowledge of the past grows, he turns from curious seeker of truths to frantic fixer of mistakes--present, past and by those from the present who would change the past--as he follows a devastating trail of hurt, disappearance and death.

Controlling Friendship and Free Speech (Continued) Fraternities are designed as intimate organizations, but Amherst’s policies and dearth of social space resulted in pressure to increase membership; the Gamma had as many as 150 members during this period. The College could have built new residential or social facilities, or spent money on athletic teams, so that women had equal opportunity. But the fraternities provided convenient scapegoats. And of course, with enormous membership rolls, most of the other fraternities found bonding with the many new members too great a challenge. The result in many fraternities was a much looser connection to the bonds of brotherhood, leading to disciplinary incidents that the College claimed were attendant to the fraternities’ mere existence. For Amherst’s Board of Trustees, this was always about real estate, and for the administration, it was about power – control of student life and speech. So when the Board of Trustees ruled that the fraternities’ use of their houses would be discontinued in June of 1984, Amherst thought the problem solved. An institution dedicated to scholarly study and leading the world had never stopped to think that fraternities were about bonds between individuals, and not valuable real estate surrounding a landlocked campus. So the fraternities vacated the chapter houses, but no one ever said they had to stop being fraternities. Amherst’s galling straw man argument was that the fraternities went “underground.” Nonsense! The College withdrew recognition and began a duplicitous relationship where the fraternities were considered unsanctioned and unrecognized for some but not all purposes. With fewer than 2,000 students, Amherst always knew what was happening, and the fraternities were never secret underground organizations. Psi Upsilon undergraduates and alumni met formally with college administrators many times over the years. If the College didn’t know who was in the fraternities, it was because it turned a blind eye to the proffered membership lists. While several of Amherst’s fraternities purchased or rented meeting houses off-campus at one time or another, there was never a return to the residential fraternity system that Amherst discontinued in 1984. Without the distraction of housing and the pressure to solve all of Amherst’s selfinflicted ills, the fraternities were able to focus on initiating
friends with shared values. Even without recognition from the College, the Gamma remained coed because it was a treasured part of the chapter’s culture. But in May 2014, Amherst reopened old wounds and declared war on unsanctioned friendship, speech, and thought. You can associate with whomever you wish, said the College, as long as it’s not “fraternity-like” or “sorority-like.” If you engaged in this loosely defined behavior once the 2014-15 school year started, then you will be expelled for violating the school’s honor code. Amherst now persecutes disfavored friendship and speech. Whether choosing a roommate, associating with a group of friends, or joining an athletic team will be found to be “fraternity-like” or “sorority-like” remains to be seen. The only thing that is clear right now is that ordinary social association is now subject to review by the Amherst censors in a gaudy display of unchecked power. The greatest benefit of this decision may be felt in the unrelated investigation of Amherst’s poor handing of sexual assault cases under Title IX. As to fraternities, according to Amherst, “We are not saying they are disproportionately guilty of sexual assault; we have no evidence that this is the case.” But now Amherst can proudly point to its abolition of fraternities and complete regulation of intimate relationships. In doing so the College can state that there is no further reason for the federal government to continue its Title IX investigation, holding its collective administrative breath that the federal government doesn’t look too closely and ask what one thing has to do with the other. Henry Poor passed away 2009 and was proud of Amherst and Psi Upsilon until the day he died. I shudder to think of what he would say about Amherst today. With its endowment approaching $2 billion, Amherst will surely muddle through this mess of its own making. But what of Amherst’s soul? A college founded to “give light to the world” has lost its purpose when it condemns lawful friendships simply because it does not fully control them. I hope Amherst’s otherwise rigorous spirit of inquiry will recognize the folly of these actions.

CHI DELTA IS TOP CHAPTER IN FOUNDERS DAY CHALLENGE Extend a challenge to the members of the Chi Delta chapter at Duke University and they will meet it. Last fall Psi Upsilon extended the Founders Day Challenge to “Get in the Game” and show support for the Fraternity’s educational mission. The Chi Delta led all of Psi Upsilon in its response. Support for the International Fraternity is part of the Chi Delta’s culture. In 2012 the Chi Delta undergraduates were challenged to get 100% participation in the 1833 Club, the undergraduate giving recognition society. They did it. And have done it every year since. When the Chi Delta reached its 40th anniversary in 2013, it took on the challenge of the hosting the 170th Convention. The Convention was one of the most memorable in recent history. Convention attendees were welcomed by gracious hosts to an elegant hotel and they enjoyed unique special events. The Psi Upsilon Foundation scholarship program recognizes demonstrated commitment to moral, intellectual and social excellence. The Chi Delta has had at least one scholarship recipient every year for the past 15 years. Overall more Chi Deltas have received Foundation scholarships (and more scholarship money) than any other chapter.

Chi Delta leadership has served Psi Upsilon well. Laura King, Chi Delta ‘04 has been a member of the Executive Council since 2008 and Tim Zepp, Chi Delta ‘08 is currently treasurer of the Foundation, having served since 2009. In 2014 the Chi Delta revitalized its recruitment process. Armed with new strategies and ideas, the chapter instituted two major changes. First, the leadership structure was reorganized to place a single officer in charge of all recruitment activities instead of a pair of rush co-chairs. The specific event planning during official rush periods could then be delegated to other brothers. Second, the chapter introduced a fall member education period to catch sophomores and juniors missed the previous spring. These changes help mitigate the danger of a poor recruitment year, while also reinforcing the pattern of year-round recruitment. So far, the chapter has enjoyed significant success in recruitment, and is ready to push its goals even further next year. By Psi Upsilon standards, the Chi Delta is a relatively young chapter and far from its largest. Yet few chapters can match the Chi Delta in its commitment to Psi Upsilon and its values.
