Our new pledge class is made up of Joseph Ahlrichs, Jessica Backscheider, Amanda Baker , Andrea Bergen, Megan Borchers, Christopher Bresler, Alexis Bridges, Julia Chapman, Greg Cook, Cailtin Delabar, Tara Fallah, Ashleigh Guillmen, Meghan Hacker- son, Jessica Hubbard, Marcella Isemann, Neil Katzman, Melissa Kincaid, Kyla McLaughlin, Brandy McQuitty, William Paton, An- thony Petersman, Jacklyn Sampson, Megan Sanders, Alex Scher, Elaina Stoeckle, Lindsay Tsai, Jacob Tunnell, Tyler Vest, and Han- nah Zimmerman.

Socially, we hosted the Kappa Psi Halloween party in October. We collected over $300.00 and many boxes of canned foods for the local Ronald McDonald House.

Over Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend, many of the brothers went to Gatlinburg for an exciting

and fun weekend. Currently being planned is the Pharmacy Formal, to be held later in the spring semester.

We are hard at work in a philanthropy competition against the other Kappa Psi chapters in Ohio, collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.”

GRAD CHAPTER FINANCIAL UPDATE

With the mortgage paid off, the Grad Chapter will start working with the Beta Phi chapter to plan several remodeling/updating projects at the house. Top priorities include the bathroom and the kitchen. The furnace and AC are ~15 years old and both doors need replacement. The inside of the house could also use a fresh coat of paint. We hope to address and complete these needed updates over the next couple of years.

The new Pharmacy Practice Skills Center is located on the second floor of the Health Professions Building. The lab is set up like a pharmacy with individual work stations and counseling areas.
