Chapter History:
The Gamma Upsilon Chapter was installed on March 20, 1950 at
Gene Goyle's
Steakhouse in Tucson by the Grand Secretary/Treasurer,
Ray Kelley.
In recent history, Gamma Upsilon's "main event" is their annual
spring raffle where
money is raised and donated to reputable
foundations. A couple of these organizations
include
Tucson
Children's Hospital and the Arizona Cancer Center.
In 2005, GCD Dr. Murphy was presented the A. Richard Bliss Award. This award
is the highest honor bestowed by Kappa Psi for
outstanding contributions to the
pharmacy profession through practice,
involvement, and education.
The Gamma Upsilon Chapter hosted Province IX's third interim assembly
in
October 2006. Brothers went all out and treated the province to a
weekend second to
none. In addition to lowering the registration fee (lowest
registration fee in 5-plus years),
the chapter was able to provide top of
the line entertainment and top-quality meals.
The weekend closed with a
bang as brothers were treated to a unrivaled dining
experience at
McMahon's Prime Steakhouse.
