Founders Day Recap
The 2025 Annual Founders Day of Giving Chapter Challenge took place February 19-20, 2025. Indiana Zeta, with 40 donors, achieved the third highest number of donors among all 147 Phi Kappa Psi chapters. Surpassing the chapter’s performance in 2024, which had 10 donors contributing $1,628, this year’s challenge raised a total of $5,425.
This year, a joint challenge gift from three Indiana Zeta alumni encouraged others to participate. It raised awareness of the need for more alumni donors to give what they can, passing on to future generations what they gained from being a member of the Fraternity.
Thank you Ralph Berry ‘76, Charley Shirley ‘76, & Charlie Wroblewski ‘08! for your matching gifts.
This past winter, three undergraduate members of the Indiana Zeta chapter were selected to attend Explore, a multi-day externship program hosted by the Phi Kappa Psi Foundation. These programs enable undergraduates to see how the theoretical knowledge they have gained in the classroom can be applied in real-world settings. Funds raised through events like Founders Day enable the chapter to support the financial costs of participating in these impactful projects for members.
