Psi Upsilon - UBC

♦️Brother Spotlight ♦️
 
Brother Yury Onikashvili is an incoming 3rd year Chemical Biology student. He recently finished a summer research internship in BC Children’s Hospital’s Emergency Department. Yury recruited patients alongside their families into studies involving faster ways to diagnose appendicitis by taking blood samples, new ways to treat broken arms using new drug mixtures and cast types, and testing a new mental health diagnosis tool. Extending his contract, he’ll be continuing his work at Children’s throughout the 21’-22’ school year. During his time off, find him walking people home on an AMS Safewalk shift, volunteering for the South Vancouver Neighborhood house to deliver groceries to vulnerable populations, or teaching elders guitar through zoom.

Following this experience, Yury had this to say:

“Psi Upsilon has pushed me to become the best version of myself through the amazing people I am constantly surrounded by. Our diverse brotherhood is made up of people from all over the world as well as from all walks of life – engineers, business students, scientists – even medical students. When you see your brother succeed at something and turn around and tell you – you can do this too, it really helps me believe in myself. In particular, brothers Lucas Rempel and Connor Keane have been guiding voices in helping me explore research, and provided invaluable advice on how to conduct myself in healthcare as someone working at a hospital, as well as showing me amazing things I can devote my free time to. All in all, the support from the people around me is the only reason I’ve gotten to where I am today, and I am grateful.”
 
Congrats Yury, we look forward to seeing your journey unfold! 👏

A congratulations to brother Joon Jang is in order for graduating with a bachelor of science in the facaulty of forestry 🌲 🌳

Not only does Joon excel academically, but he also finds time to give back to his community. Joon is a part of the big brother program which aims to support and develop at risk youth in the community, with 1 on 1 peer mentorship

When asked why he joined Psi Upsilon, this is what Joon had to say:

“They say you are the average of the people you surround yourself the most with. I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by high achievers and ambitious go-getters. The grind for anything worthwhile in life isn't glamorous and is quite difficult. But the boys in Psi U have directly and indirectly reinforced my pursuits to the goals I have in life”

The brothers at Psi Upsilon wish Joon the best in all of his future endeavours ♥️

First Rush? ✔

Great to see so many fresh and familiar faces out last night. Be sure to stop by again on Tuesday for Second Rush! 🔥🔥

No path, no problem. A few of our brothers spent some time out on the backcountry forest service roads for a quick adventure up the mountain. 🌲🏔

He may already be planning his trip to Europe, but he's also gearing up for another exciting rush season!

In January, Matteo will be travelling to Spain on exchange, but first, he will be leading the charge as our 2019 Rush Chairman.

Matteo is one of the most senior leaders in the chapter, and we are excited to have him at the helm.
