A New "Chapter" for Iota Upsilon

In the past two weeks, there have been a lot of changes to the Iota Upsilon chapter. First, we initiated two new brothers: Matt Baginski ('11) and Adam Jendrisak ('11). We have also elected and installed officers for the upcoming year. Our new Consul, Alex Marinello, is the sole senior and will be making sure Iota Upsilon keeps heading in the right direction. Assisting him will be the new pro-consul, Alex Mazzaferro, who is entering his junior year at Boston University. The alumni will most likely be in contact with the new Tribune, Conor McManus, who has pledged to keep this blog alive and make sure alumni (new ones included) are kept up to date on all the Iota Upsilon happenings. Below is a complete list of the new officers. Congratulations to the new officers.

Sigma Chi Honored by SAO

Tonight, the Iota Upsilon Chapter was honored at the Excellence in Student Activities Awards by winning the Best Philanthropy of the Year and for Brother of the Year. The Philanthropy of the Year was for our week long Derby Days event, which raised over $3,500 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. The Brother of the Year went to sophomore Kyle Langan, who worked tirelessly in not only every facet of our fraternity, but also on the executive board of the IFC.

Congratulations to both the Iota Upsilon Chapter and Kyle Langan.

BU Greek Week 2008

The Most Awkward Lip Sync-er

Boston University Greek Week 2008 has come and gone. Events included a Lip Sync contest, Greek letters day, Greek games and special Greek speaker (the common theme being Greek). Awards were given out today and Sigma Chi was given the award for Most Helpful Fraternity. Also winning an award was Iota Upsilon's own Kyle Langan for "Most Awkward Lip Sync-er." Thanks to Brother Glenn Harris ('11) for working on Greek Week for our chapter.

The Tri Delta sorority (started at BU) won the 2008 Derby Days, squeaking out a victory over Sigma Kappa. After competing in the skit night, the car jam (photo in the post below), Boston pizza and grill night and the week long Coins for Cash, Delta Delta Delta came out as the overall winner of the most successful Derby Days in Iota Upsilon history. In all, we were able to raise over $3500 dollars for the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the sororities' philanthropies, with a large portion coming from online donations. Thanks to all the alumni who contributed.
