Grillo said his Kappa Psi membership has helped him become a better leader and learn to manage his time more efficiently. In addition, Grillo said he has established lifelong friendships and professional relationships. James said being a member has motivated him to accomplish more and become more involved in the community. It's something that I'm proud of that I did. Another benefit to being a member, James said, is the sense of brotherhood that is established within the fraternity.
Members can get together to talk about classes, homework and tests.
In order to get involved with Kappa Psi, prospective members must participate in a rushing process over the course of the first semester, which ended in January. Prospective members got to know Kappa Psi by participating in events and activities sponsored by the fraternity. Students are also encouraged to check out some of the other pharmacy organizations to determine which one they feel is right for them. James said it is fairly easy for someone to become a member as long as the student meets the minimum requirements. There is a good grade requirement, which mandates that all members have at least a 3.5 GPA, and members are required to be pharmacy majors.
