A Psi Chi spearheaded a food drive in December of 2001 generated over 2000 items for the local food shelf!


In April, 2002, Psi Chi challenged students to assist local shelters through the donation of clothing items. The two week long drive began with a goal of 300 items. The final tally was 1298! Psi Chi members Rob Maxwell, Amanda Jagodzinski, Carrie Lovmo model some of the items about to be toted to their destination.
