Big thanks to all of you who contributed to the 2009 Annual Fund.  While we finished the year just shy of our goal, many of you dug deep to help Psi U weather the current uncertain financial climate.  View the list of loyal brothers who gave in 2009.

As a small organization, Psi U relies heavily on alumni support of the Annual Fund.  Without such support, important leadership, guidance and education programs would leave our chapters ill prepared for the challenges they face daily.  Make your gift today via credit card and put your name on the 2010 donor list.

Contact Mariann Williams if you would like to donate appreciated stock or include Psi U in your will.
