It appears the worst of winter is over and spring is in the air.

Along with the warmer weather comes the anticipation of the

seniors for graduation and the start of hopefully a long, prosper-

ous and fulfilling career in pharmacy. If I can give just one little

piece of advice that my dad told me, “Get a job that you like and

things will fall into place.” How true that is.

I would also like to ask that you, the graduating seniors, not forget

Kappa Psi when you get established in your jobs. Please send in

your Voluntary Graduate Dues of $50, or about one hour of your

salary. I hope Kappa Psi was that important and memorable to

you while you were in school to support it after graduation.

I enjoyed meeting a lot of you at the APhA Convention in Seattle,

and I hope you are making plans to come to San Francisco in

August for the 55th Grand Council Convention, the 2nd thru the

6th. Dr. Kali Weaver, the Grand Vice Regent, is doing a fantastic job planning for this event, and it

should be outstanding. Be sure to go to the Kappa Psi Web site for updates, important convention infor-

mation, and to register online.

For those of you who could not make it to Seattle, at the Kappa Psi Reception, we presented Dr. Robert

A. Magarian with the A. Richard Bliss Award for his outstanding contributions to the profession of phar-

macy. Dr. Magarian was Executive Director of the Fraternity from 1980 to 2000 and ran the office from

the University of Oklahoma’s College of Pharmacy. Bob also reactivated the Gamma Omicron chapter

in 1971 and served as their Grand Council Deputy.

Enjoy your summer and stay safe.

Spring FeverNow that spring has finally arrived, brothers across the country have been busy attending

Province assemblies, state association meetings, and various national pharmacy events. Alongwith all these events, the academic year is quickly winding down and finals and graduation arejust around the corner.

As this issue will show, the Brotherhood has been quite active in your local communities andcampuses making a difference in the lives of the people that we reach out to touch and influence.These connections that are made to assist others truly separate Kappa Psi from other organiza-tions. Over the last several months, Kappa Psi brothers have worked with the Ronald McDonaldHouse, raised countless dollars for cancer research, counseled patients on their medications, andalso found the time to recruit and instruct our new members into Kappa Psi. Here’s to youBrothers on a job well done on all your accomplishments during this semester.

If anyone attended a Province assembly this spring then you probably heard about the 55thGrand Council Convention in San Francisco. In this issue, you will have the opportunity to readthe candidate bios and find out a little about the brothers who are vying for a spot on the KappaPsi International Executive Committee. You will also find the registration form, Kappa PsiFoundation golf tournament information, and in the Final Word Grand Vice Regent Kali Weaversets the theme for the GCC with “This is my Kappa Psi.”

I would like to wish everyone the best of luck on finals and congratulations to all our brotherswho are graduating and going on to join the work force or to start your new residencies.

Hopefully, everyone is making plans to attend the Grand Council Convention but if not have asafe summer. At this GCC, let us continue to build better pharmacists as we have in the past, pre-sent and into the future.

Fraternally,

I hadthe privilege to pledge at theBeta Xi chapter (University ofNorth Carolina at ChapelHill) and became a brother inApril of 2003. Throughout my collegiate career, Ihad the opportunity to grow and mature as abrother by holding positions as intramural chair,chaplain, and assistant pledgemaster as well asbeing a Big Brother in the Fraternity. Each ofthese positions taught me how to lead by exam-ple and to aspire to do whatever it took to makemy chapter and Fraternity the best it could be. Ihad the privilege of serving Province III asSatrap in 2007–08. During my time serving asSatrap, I had an opportunity to use the experi-ences I learned in my chapter and focus them onimproving the Province.

In my post-collegiate era, I still find myselfhaving such a great passion for our belovedFraternity. The opportunity to provide mentor-ship is one like no other. I have the great honorto give back to my Fraternity by providing guid-ance to my collegiate brothers at Epsilon Mu(University of Florida at Orlando). Kappa Psi iscontagious—the more one receives from theFraternity, the more one wants to give back.Please give me the opportunity to give more bybeing a member of your Executive Committee.

I was honoredto be appointed to be Province I’s AssistantSupervisor also.

During my pledging I had a strong group ofmentors, many of which were graduate broth-ers. They instilled in me the importance of con-tinuing Brotherhood past graduation. They ledby example and I hope that I am continuing thatproud tradition. I believe that type of communi-cation and example is essential for the future ofour graduate chapters.

I have continued to attend Province II assem-blies which, I believe, keep me in touch with col-legiate brothers who are graduating and lookingto continue to be involved after graduation. Iwish all the Brothers that are attending the GCCsafe travels, a successful convention and I hopeto meet many of you through the course of theweek.

Itwas a pleasure to share our brand newPharmacy Hall with everyone, and thefunds saved by hosting at our schoolallowed the Province to donate anadditional $500 to YANA Place. Manythanks for the service of our brothers:Anh Tran and Serena Yang as plan-ning chairs and Eric Wong and ChrisCharles on the 2010–2011 Province IIIExecutive Board.

Brothers competed in teams tocollect items, varying from oatmeal tolaundry detergent to Tang, to donate.Food items were donated to the non-profit organization Bread for the City,and paper goods were donated toLoaves and Fishes, one of the fewkitchens open to the homeless on theweekends. Brothers used differentstrategies to gather items, askinglocal pharmacists, small businessowners, or supermarket customers foreither a monetary or item donation. Inthe end, brothers collected enoughitems to fill up an entire Honda CR-V.The event was such a success thatbrothers have started strategizing fornext year’s Scavenger Hunt.

“Snowpocalypse, thundersnow,snowmageddon”! With the city ofChicago buried under two feet ofsnow, our Chi brothers had an event-ful and fun snow day. Rather than sitby a fire and sip cocoa during thethird largest recorded snowstorm inChicago’s history, Chi brothers band-ed together to help out their strandedbrothers by digging out their cars andclearing up their sidewalks, while hav-ing fun at the same time.

Our social chair, Aalok Shah, orga-nized the largest snowball fight in Chichapter history. Many of our WestCoast neophytes got their first taste ofa true Chicago winter. Brothers metat Arrigo Park decked out in full snowgear just as the storm subsided.Everyone split up into teams andplanned their attack. Those whochose not to fight built snowmen inthe same spot where we grilled burg-ers for the annual Kappa Psi RushBarbecue a few months earlier.

Apart from all of the fun, severalbrothers were stranded as their carswere cloaked under a veil of snowand ice. Chi brothers living closebanded together to help dig outbrother’s cars and help less ablemembers of the community. Severalother brothers went out of their wayto help their fellow brother whose carwouldn’t start. It soon became appar-ent that Chi brothers are neverstranded long when their brothersare nearby!

Gamma Phi kicked off the semesterby hosting the Province IV conclave inAthens, Georgia, with more than 300collegiate and graduate brothers inattendance. It was a fun weekend andgreat opportunity for Gamma Phi toshow what Athens has to offer and forour first-year brothers to experienceKappa Psi on a Province level.Brothers Michael Brenner and ZachLapaquette were recognized for theirextensive planning to make sure con-clave went smoothly. However, it wassomewhat bittersweet for us atGamma Phi, as conclave marked the

end of Brother Abe Duncan’s term asProvince Satrap. Khalil Khlifi alsoturned over the reins as ProvinceWebmaster, but was elected to serveas the new Province Historian.Overall, the weekend was a great suc-cess that provided countless network-ing opportunities.

Following conclave, school got offto a rocky start with our entire firstweek of classes either being cancelledor delayed due to a record 9.5 inchesof snow. However, once it cleared, wehosted our annual Welcome BackParty. We had a great turnout and itprovided students from all over thepharmacy school a chance to relaxand catch up after winter break. Eachguest who attended brought a cannedfood item, which was later donated toa local food bank.

Recently, the brothers of GammaPhi selected six first-year ladies tobecome our Little Sisters. We are veryexcited for our new additions to be apart of the chapter. To celebrate, wetreated them to dinner and a night outon the town.

We will be holding our secondblood drive for the 2010–2011 schoolyear. As with every blood drive, theRed Cross has set an extremely highgoal, so the brothers will have to workhard in order to meet and hopefullyexceed expectations. We will also bebringing back our hit “Boxers andBlazers” party this semester, wherethe first-year brothers put on a showin order to raise proceeds to benefitRelay for Life. This party is always amassive success and a huge turnout isexpected. The brothers of Gamma Phiwill be traveling to Myrtle Beach inApril for our annual spring formal. Weare all looking forward to a relaxingweekend as the semester winds down.

It has been a wonderful yet chal-lenging spring semester for the broth-ers of Gamma Psi. Collegiate brothersmade the trip to Athens, Georgia, forthe 2011 winter conclave. At thismeeting, several Gamma Psi brotherswere rewarded for their hard work bybeing appointed to positions withinour Province.

There was a lot to do in theSmoky Mountains, and many of thebrothers took this opportunity to fel-lowship with other chapters. Therewas skiing, go-kart racing, and shop-ping to do, but in the end, it was aboutgrowing ourselves as brothers. InJanuary, we welcomed in our newestclass of pledges.

In February, the brothers orga-nized our winter blood drive. The RedCross is experiencing a severe short-age within the Southeast, so this eventwas important. In the same month,two Gamma Psi brothers, Juan Lopez

To celebrate the pinning of the newpledges, Delta Phi active brothers puttogether a casino themed party, com-plete with great food, card games, andeven a roulette game. The photo sta-tion was in demand because brotherswanted to take pictures with newmembers in their family.

The second event of the quarterwas the Interview Party, a greatopportunity for brothers to get toknow their Littles. In the first activity,a divider was placed between a broth-er and a pledge, and then it was quick-ly removed to reveal the identity ofthe other person. The highlight of thenight was the catapult creation activi-ty, where each team had to constructa catapult out of pieces of tape, wood,and a cup. The winning team was theone that could shoot a Ping-Pong ballfarthest across the room.

At the Speed Pledge event, pledgeshad the opportunity to meet and chatwith the fourth-year brothers.Upwards of 30 stations were set up,each manned by a different activebrother, and each with a unique activi-ty. There was singing, dancing, wordgames, board games, embarrassingquestions, and even taste tests. Thepledges rotated from station to stationand had a great time with brothers.

Following the Speed Pledge, thepledge class came together and threwa party to honor the active brothers.The pledge party had a Chinese NewYear theme, and was filled with activi-ties, food, and a pair of candy filledChinese New Year Piñatas.

The first philanthropy event of thequarter involved cleaning up the SanDiego River. Philanthropy chairNatasha Gorely, secretary SamanthaChang, former social chair TraciBricker, and several others joined theSan Diego River Park Foundation andI Love a Clean San Diego to removetrash and debris from around theriver. Later in the quarter, Delta Phiorganized an Asthma Outreach eventat the local Boys and Girls Club.Thanks again to Natasha Gorely forher hard work setting up philanthropyevents.

a very hectic evening, but I had lots offun getting to know our potentialpledges.” On January 13, brotherspassed out bids in the form of hand-made Kappa Psi capsules to 29deserving pledges. On January 24, thebrothers organized our famousScavenger Hunt for the pledges. Thiswas a great way for the pledges to notonly explore the heart of San Antonio,but to get to know each other as well.

The best part of pledgeship is theBig/Little Reveal, which took place onFebruary 16. During lunchtime, thepledges were lined up in the hallwayeagerly holding a picture of one half ofan iconic pair, a clue that would even-tually link them to their Big Brothers.Once inside the room, the pledgessearched for their Big Brother whowas also holding the other half of thepair. Lots of gifts were given and lotsof pictures were taken.

In addition to pledging, EpsilonBeta chapter continued to do what wedo best — community service and pro-

fessional relations. On February 18,Professional Relations Committeechair Brother Rishma Patel organizeda Poison Prevention program at alocal elementary school. Brotherstalked to first- and second-gradersabout ways to identify poisons andpassed out stickers and coloringbooks. The students had fun and theteachers were extremely grateful. Wewill have another Poison Preventionprogram in April. Community servicechair Brother Lyssa Villanueva alsosigned us up for several events.Brothers volunteered their time at theGoodwill Store. They toured the facili-ty, hung up clothes, and helped priceitems. Brothers and pledges volun-teered at Habitat for Humanity,where, despite the rainy weather,everyone had fun working as a teamto landscape a home in record time.

Epsilon Beta brothers had an amaz-ing Super Bowl Party XLV. “It was agreat success!” exclaimed SocialCommittee chair Brother Andrew

Castillo. We had Game Night wherebrothers and pledges had a blastdancing in front of the Xbox Kinectand playing Taboo. Brother EditaBernardo said, “I enjoyed beating allthe boys in a friendly game of foos-ball.” Our Annual Family BowlingNight was held on February 16 inwhich our four families competedagainst one another. The brothers ofAntifaz took home the title as BowlingChampions of 2011. We are lookingforward to our Awards CeremonyDinner and Founders Day Formal.

On February 25–27, Epsilon Betachapter headed to the Province VIImeeting in Houston, Texas. We had38 brothers registered this year. Theyenjoyed meeting brothers from otherchapters. It was an amazing experi-ence and we will definitely be backnext year. Epsilon Beta chapter proud-ly took home the title for Best WrittenChapter Report! Thanks to DeltaDelta for hosting a great meeting.

This semester, graduate BrotherPayal Patwa sent a letter about hernew life as a licensed pharmacist. Shewrote: “counseling patients is [her]

favorite part of retail pharmacy.” Shealso adds, “It seems like other phar-macists like to pick my brain sinceI’m the newest grad and have a newerinsight on drugs.” We would also liketo congratulate Brother Payal for fin-ishing the Austin Half Marathon onFebruary 20.

Thevast array of chicken wings for thecontest was very impressive, but onlyone brother could go home with the

things through various brother-bond-ing events, inspirational workshopsand guest speakers. Most notable wasthe talk that Brother Marvin Smithprovided for all of the Province Xattendees. He spoke about the mean-ing of brotherhood, the pledgingprocess, and other tips. One of theresolutions was for the visiting broth-ers to provide a live performance for“Like a Pharmacist,” which was fea-tured in Epsilon Gamma’s FallChapter Report Video.

Saturday and Sunday morning, con-clave was a whirlwind of discussion,introspection, and productivity.Province X Supervisor Marvin Smithled chapter building workshops, withthe theme “My Kappa Psi,” whichwere designed to strengthen our col-legiate chapters, increase graduateretention rates, and improve the colle-giate pledging process. TheLegislative Committee successfullycreated the new Province officer posi-tion of Webmaster to help organizeand promote Province X activitiesthrough a Province Web site. Thechapter delegates also voted to modifyour Province’s bylaws to change theProvince hosting chapter rotationcycle so that conclaves were not heldin the same state twice in a row. Also,we elected and initiated our new offi-cers: Janice Louie–Satrap, CiprianPascu–Vice Satrap, Shane Johnson–Secretary-Treasurer, Johnny Wong–Chaplain, Dennis Tran–Historian,Alex Pfeiffer–Webmaster, Chad Seely–GCC Delegate, and Sherry Whitley–Alternate GCC Delegate.


The Final Word

This is an exciting time in Kappa Psi. Our55th Grand Council Convention is quicklyapproaching and we will be convergingon San Francisco in a matter of months.For those of you who have not been toGCC, it is an amazing time that willchange your life. It is the meeting of allKappa Psi meetings where theConstitution and Bylaws can be changedand policy can be written. GCC is also

where the Executive Committee dissolves and every chapter hasan equal voice.

Your first GCC can seem overwhelming at times. There arepeople there whom you have only read about like Brother DeweyGarner or Brother Norm Campbell. You’ll see chapters that bringevery brother with them to GCC while you may be the only per-son from your chapter. Some brothers seem to know everyoneand have no problem standing in front of the entire assembly andspeaking their mind. We have all been there. We have all been thebrother in the room who didn’t really know anyone. We have allsecond-guessed ourselves before approaching the microphonebecause we didn’t want to sound like a fool in front of everyone.

My advice to you is to meet as many brothers as possible. Asyou talk to your brothers, you will learn that while we may all bedifferent on the surface, we are all Kappa Psi at the core. I alsoencourage you to speak up during the convention. Let your opin-ions be known! You will never be thought a fool as long as you’respeaking from the heart and with the Fraternity’s best interest inmind.

The theme of this year’s Grand Council Convention is “This ismy Kappa Psi.” This theme was chosen as a reminder to all broth-ers that this Fraternity does not belong to a few but rather to all ofus. We are all responsible for the future of our Fraternity. Cometo GCC, make your voice heard, and remember this is YOURKappa Psi.

Conclave was not all about business.Brothers were treated to a few roundsof laser tag and an air hockey tourna-ment at the local Laser Quest. We alsospent some time forging new bonds ondance floors of Spokane’s best-knownnight life spots. We wrapped up theweekend with an awards banquet atLuigi’s restaurant in downtownSpokane. Gamma Eta was also pre-sented with the Travelers’ Award forhaving the most brothers travel thelongest distance to attend conclave.

We strengthened our bonds at theProvince level with Beta Omicron andBeta Pi joining the brothers of Delta

Mu to help initiate new brothers inVancouver, British Columbia. Thebrothers of Beta Omicron and SatrapChad Seely also showed support to ourProvince’s newest chapter, Epsilon Xi,during its chartering at PacificUniversity in February. We hope tostrengthen bonds between all thechapters of Province X with morecross-chapter activities outside of con-clave.

We would like to thank SatrapJanice Louie and the brothers of BetaPi for coordinating this year’s conclaveand social activities.
