XI & BETA BETA HOST 169th CONVENTION Psi Upsilon’s 169th Convention was held at the Hilton Hartford in Hartford, CT. From June 22-24, 2012 Psi U’s from every chapter gathered to discuss important topics to both undergraduates and alumni. More than 100 brothers worked to make it a rewarding Convention.
Convention committees, composed of both alumni and undergraduate members, met over two days, discussing awards, budgets, and other business of Psi Upsilon. Chapter awards were discussed and presented, highlighting many achievements of chapters throughout Psi Upsilon.
The brothers of the Beta Beta (Trinity College) and Xi (Wesleyan University) chapters hosted this year’s Convention. Activities included trips to the historic houses of both chapters. Brothers gathered for cookouts and tours, while meeting and mingling with other members.
Daniel Coviello, Eta ‘13 (Lehigh) and Matthew Hamielec, Omicron ‘14 (Illinois) were elected by the Convention delegates to serve as undergraduate term members of the Executive Council in the coming year. Brad Corner, Omicron ‘78, Laura King, Chi Delta ‘04 (Duke) and Bill Wishard, Delta Delta ‘64 (Williams) were reelected as alumni term members of the Executive Council.
