The
Fearless 5: Our Founders
The
second journey of the DIRTY PSI-cle leads you to an understanding of the
Fearless Five, or the Five Founders of Pi Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.
On November 22, 1993, the Most Respected Steven Bradley Boyd, the Most
Respected Kaunda Amin Gray, the Most Respected Brian LaVelle Curley, the
Most Respected Bennie Clayborne
Jackson, and the Most Respected Jermaine DeShawn Davis founded Pi Psi
Fraternity. With Pi Psi being formed in a time when student organizations
disappear, the fraternity's possibility for success was a major concern.
After hours of planning, research, and hard work, the fraternity was established
as a Greek organization on Sunday, October 16, 1994.
After many long hours, Pi Psi fell into organizational limbo. The Founders reached a difficult point in the structuring of the young Fraternity. Issues arose such as what would be the focus of the organization, how would the founders' vision develop, and what individuals to select to assure a successful future. During this time, the founders went through the legalities of starting an official recognized organization, such as petitioning for the University's recognition and registering the organization with the state of Michigan. With a newly founded organization fresh in their minds, the desire to succeed in their hears, and a burning ambition in their eyes, great things were bound to happen for PI PSI. Although the Founders ran into several roadblocks while striving to succeed, the Fearless Five realized that nothing was impossible. The key to making Pi Psi grow, and extend its services, most importantly, was its membership. Something
happened on Friday, April 28, 1995. For on this day, the Founders
