1. KKPsi Installs New Chapter!
by Tony Roscoe, KKPsi National Vice President for Student Affairs

It gives me great pleasure to announce the installation of the Lambda Delta Chapter at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. They were installed Friday, July 11, 2003 as chapter # 268 in the 84th year of Kappa Kappa Psi bringing 39 Active Brothers and 2 Honorary Brothers into the Fraternity.

The Omicron Chapter from West Virginia University was the installing chapter and Tony Roscoe, Vice President for Student Affairs, was the installing officer. In attendance were Marie Burleigh (NED Governor), Rob Spanos (NED President), Collin Long (NED Vice President), Jim Whitehead (NED Secretary-Treasurer), Ken Jackson (NED Member-at-Large), Rai Mordente (NED Alumni Liaison), Beth Smith (Past NED President), Ryan Boyd (Past NED Vice President), Ryan Minster (TBS-Gamma Omega Sponsor) and other brothers from the NE District.

A special thank you goes to Crystal Finch, of the Omicron Chapter for all her work with the colony and for seeing them through to installation. Crystal and the Omicron Chapter have assured me they will be in contact with Lambda Delta as they start down the road as a chapter.

Please send your notes of congratulations to the Lambda Delta Chapter President Kevin Deissler at kd9516@ship.edu or to the Shippensburg University Director of Bands:
