Finding the Podium

Indiana Zeta Brings Home Bronze

This year’s Founders Day of Giving was one for the books for Indiana Zeta. Thanks to the incredible generosity of Brothers Ralph Berry ’76, Charley Shirley ’76, and Charlie Wroblewski ’08, who offered a $1,500 dollar-for-dollar match to the Chapter OneFund, our alumni community rose to the challenge and then some. With 34 donors participating in this year’s Chapter Challenge, Indiana Zeta earned 3rd place in the Most Donors category, taking home an additional $2,500 to our Chapter OneFund.

What a way to kick off 2026! The energy and generosity shown during this year’s Founders Day campaign is a strong signal of what’s ahead, and the combined impact of these gifts to the Chapter OneFund will directly support Indiana Zeta’s programs and initiatives throughout the spring semester and beyond. From chapter operations to brotherhood programming, these dollars stay close to home and go to work for the brothers of Indiana Zeta right away.

Indiana Zeta’s success was part of a remarkable day for Phi Psi as a whole. Across all chapters, 616 donors came together to raise over $143,300 in support of the Phi Kappa Psi mission — a testament to the strength and generosity of our Brotherhood nationwide. In all, six chapters took home top honors across the Most Donors and Most Dollars categories. You can view the full results from the 2026 Chapter Challenge by visiting bit.ly/FDoG26!

A heartfelt thank you to Brothers Berry, Shirley, and Wroblewski for their leadership gift and their belief in the future of Indiana Zeta, and to every brother and friend who made a gift this Founders Day. Your support makes a lasting difference for the brothers of today and for generations to come.
