When Phi Sigma Pi recently initiated nine of its newest members into the brotherhood, it did so with a mix of sadness and pride. One of those initiates never knew any of the members, but he will forever hold a place in the hearts of PSP’s '''Beta Phi chapter (&#914;&#934;)''' at WKU. Will Norton, an 18-year-old graduate of Joplin (Mo.) High School, was made an honorary brother of the fraternity on Nov. 18. Norton was killed during the May 22 tornado that struck Joplin on his graduation day.

Bike and Build sends students riding and working on affordable housing across America (CM-Life.com - 9 January 2012)
Three Central Michigan University students will cycle more than 4,000 miles to promote affordable housing across the country this summer. Bike and Build, a non-profit organization, hosts cross-country cycling trips where volunteers ride and build affordable houses, Alyssa Chrisman (ΓΜ), a Sterling Heights junior, said. Chrisman, an English major, said as a future teacher, affordable housing plays a major role in supporting children’s education. “There are students who could be homeless or not have a safe place to go home to at night, and I think that’s really sad if students are preoccupied because they don’t have a home,” she said. “It’s not an issue that people their age should worry about.”
