March 2010




Dear Worthy Alumni,

Welcome to another great semester here with Iota Upsilon. Once again we have elected new leadership for the fraternity. New Consul A.J. Moody ('11), Pro Consul Jackson Sandeen ('11), and Annotator Mike Lamanna ('11) are preparing the chapter for another exciting lineup of events and activities with the help of all of our new officers. The chapter is gearing up for a busy few months with the end of the 2009/2010 school year approaching. In the coming months we will present Derby Days 2010, A Kentucky Derby themed charity competition amongst the sororities on campus. As Derby Daddies Nate Thompson ('12) and Cole Barris ('11) finish the preparations for Derby Days, Philanthropy Chair Mike Anastassiou ('12) has set up a few other charity events including our upcoming bake sale with Tri Delta.

Magister Steve Lordan ('10) has ushered in another great spring pledge class for us, the Alpha Pi's (Listed below). We've all been working hard in teaching them the values that our Fraternity stands for, and we all know Stephen will continue to do a great job as we approach I-Week in approximately a month.

It has been a rough month or so for the Chapter with the passing of recent initiate, brother Michael DeVito. After visiting his family in Rye, NY for the funeral services, the chapter has since returned to Boston and begun working on different ways to honor his name. Most importantly, his memory is not forgotten from the chapter, as his enthusiasm for the fraternity and helping others continues to inspire us all everyday.

Lastly, just a friendly reminder, this coming October marks the 20th Anniversary of the chartering of the Iota Upsilon Chapter. There will be another alumni weekend planned to celebrate the occasion, and we hope to see all of you here in Boston in the fall. More details will follow.

Guard Well Brothers,
Tribune Bobby Goldsmith ('11)
