July 2008 GP Update

Brothers,

When I took office as the GP in January 2008, I shared with you in an e-Letter my key objectives as GP at Phi Kappa Psi.  I  outlined my goals in a six point program that I called "Taking the Right Turn" which included commitments to:  Fiscal Responsibility, House Integrity, Executive Transparency, Strong Alumni Relations, Increased Connection to National and a Strong Rush Program.   I am pleased to report  significant progress on all fronts. 

First and foremost, I am extremely greatful and pleased for the strong partnership that has formed with the Alumni Corporation and for their commitment and support to working with the undergraduates.   In addition, on behalf of all of the brothers of Phi Psi, I want to thank all of the Alumni for their financial support and encouragement.   It was a pleasure meeting so many of you at Founder's Day in February and at the College's Reunion Weekend in May.    We understand the importance of the legacy of Phi Psi and Miller Hall and we will do our part in sustaining that legacy for generations to come.  

A brief update on the progress of my six point plan.   We have restored fiscal soundness and established a firm budget for 2008 - 2009 that has been reviewed with the Alumni Corporation.   Weiser Hall is looking better than it has in a long time as attested to by Alumni returning in May.   The executive leadership team is working well together and all are committed to the ideals of our brotherhood.  Alumni relations are stronger and growing.   We have strengthened our relationship with National through attendance at the President's Leadership Academy, Cabo and GAC this summer.  Finally, we are working already on a strong Rush program for September - this is our most critical objective for the Fall Semester.   Our efforts have not gone on recognized:  as reported  in the Spring, we won The Order of Omega award for the most improved fraternity at Gettysburg College. 

I am looking forward to an outstanding Fall semester and welcoming back a throng of Alumni during Homecoming Weekend on September 19 - 21.

Fraternally,

Brother Jay Hagerman...
