Fraternity Welcomes Two New Central Office Staff Members

We are pleased to announce the hiring of two new staff members at Chi Psi Central Office. Derek Taylor, ΠΔ `09, is joining the team as our newest Alpha Visitor along with our new Development and Communications Coordinator, Teri Forsythe.

Derek Taylor, Alpha Visitor

Derek graduated in December of 2009 from North Carolina State University with a degree in Professional Golf Management.

The successful event was attended by Brothers, parents, alumni, and many members of the Greek community.

Taylor’s previous work experience includes internships with the Lake of Isles Golf Course, Pinehurst Resort and Country Club, and Grandfather Golf and Country Club. He grew up in the small town of Dublin, NC and considers himself an outdoorsman who enjoys golfing and playing his guitar. Taylor is looking forward to visiting all of Chi Psi’s Alphas and seeing their great cities and campuses. He is excited to begin working with undergraduates in recruitment and expansion to help strengthen our Alphas and continue the positive Chi Psi experience on each campus.
