Contents
Early Fraternity Life and Career
Matt was inducted in Spring 1999 with the Eta class. One of 14 inductees that year, Matt would go on to be one of Beta Psi's most loyal brothers. He was voted "best little" by the chapter in his first semester.
Collegiate Years at Beta Psi
Within his first year, Matt would hold a chapter office, correspondance secretary, and would hold an office continually until his graduation. He became one of the most active members of Beta Psi early on, attending a vast majority of the events the chapter planned. During his sophomore year, he would make perhaps the most important decision of his life; he started a relationship with Katie Martin, another active brother in Beta Psi who would in time become his wife.
In his junior year, Matt would take the role of initiate adviser, which he would later realize was his favorite of all his tasks within Phi Sigma Pi. He inducted the Kappa and Lambda classes of Beta Psi during his time and always looked forward to working with new initiates. He won awards for "best big" twice during his time as an active brother in addition to 3 awards for outstanding scholarship. During his last year at MTSU, Matt was elected to be vice president for the chapter. He would work continuously to increase participation in chapter events in hopes of making a name for Beta Psi.
Alumni Years to Present
After his graduation, Matt was fortunate to remain in the Nashville area as a medical student at Vanderbilt University. This allowed him to continue to participate in chapter events, including Pinning and Induction of new brothers each semester. He helped create and was the first president of the Middle Tennessee Alumni Association. However, as the demands of school increased, his ability to participate in Beta Psi activities waned. By 2004, MTAA had disbanded and very little contact with Beta Psi or Phi Sigma Pi remained. He would go on to remain at Vanderbilt for his residency training in the Internal Medicine and Pediatrics department.
His separation from Phi Sigma Pi would change in the spring of 2008, when he was contacted by Jennifer Stanley, the chapter adviser. The Beta Psi Chapter had lost much of its sense of history and had dwindled to have only 8 active brothers. Along with Jennifer and Katie, he would begin to attend weekly meetings and offer guidance on how to rebuild the chapter. In the fall of 2008, he would work closely with the chapter's initiate advisers to strengthen recruitment in an attempt to restore Beta Psi to its former glory. He continues this now, helping with info nights, Rush events, and the initiate curriculum for the chapter. The struggles of his former chapter have shown him how needed the voice of experience is for a chapter, and he hopes to help rebuild Beta Psi in any way he can.
