Our active members get every opportunity to learn and grow as undergraduates, thanks to the generosity of endowed programs through the Chi Psi Educational Trust. Our donors endow everything from regional conferences to leadership programming, to publication of The Purple and Gold. Here are some current programs in need of endowment, with estimated costs for most included. To inquire about endowing one of Chi Psi's programs, reach out to Steve Habat at shabat@chipsi.org.

MENTAL HEALTH & LIFE SAFETY:

This endowment would inlude the Brotherhood Workshop, which recently replaced the Education, Responsibility, Action (ERA) Program, as well as other programming for conflict resolution and the three-tiered Chi Psi Cares mental health initiative. NEED: $1,000,000

SPENCER INSTITUTE:

The Spencer Institute is the educational track for undergraduate delegates at our Annual Convention. Brothers receive comprehensive training focused on recruitment, Alpha administration, educational programming, and risk management, while learning about the National Fraternity and interacting with Executive Council Members, alumni volunteers, and Central Office staff. NEED: $2,000,000

MID-YEAR LEADERSHIP RETREAT (MYLR): 

The MYLR is Chi Psi's key leadership training and development program held each January. #1s from each Alpha spend four days at Camp Marymount in Fairview, TN, with Central Office Staff and alumni volunteers. Brothers develop leadership skills and share best practices for Alpha management in preparation for the year ahead. NEED: $1,000,000

THE PURPLE AND GOLD:

The Purple and Gold is Chi Psi's bi-annual alumni magazine sent to all living members and available in a digital format. The Central Office produces two issues in a given calendar year. NEED: $1,500,000

PROGRAM FOR SELF-DEVELOPMENT (PSD):

The PSD is attended by each New Member prior to initiation. Typically conducted off-campus with the assistance of an alumnus facilitator, the program focuses on personal development, goal setting, and mutual assistance. While identifying their primary motivational strengths and learning styles, participants learn the importance and use of peer-group feedback. NEED: $750,000

CENTRAL OFFICE EXPANSION WITH EDUCATIONAL CENTER: 

The location of the Central Office in Nashville provides a central point for educational conferences, meetings, and training for our members. Expanding Jeffrey Hall with sufficient meeting space and limited lodging will cut expenses and allow for expanded leadership programming. NEED: UNDER DEVELOPMENT
