30 Phi Psis from three decades, including several founding fathers, attended the 2012 Reunion at The Bluffs in St. Francisville, LA for two days of fine food, poor golf and embellished stories. Special thanks goes to Harold Leone LSU 69 #54 for organizing the event and opening his home for the reception.
2013 will mark the not-to-be-missed 20th anniversary of this great event, and we are compiling a Grand Catalog of initiates. If you’re not getting The Shield or emails from the chapter, please forward your snail mail and email addresses to Steve Liddell LSU ’73.

Please extend my sincere appreciation to the men of Phi Kappa Psi for the incredible effort on Phi Psi Carnival. You all really took it over the top and it was a tremendous event for families. The positive PR you gained for Phi Psi as well as the LSU Greek community is immeasurable.
The annual event, featuring games, tricks and treats at the Phi Psi house on Lakeshore Drive, is open to public at no charge and was attended by hundreds of Baton Rouge families. Mark Phillips LSU ’94, the chapter’s fraternity education advisor said, “the Halloween carnival was, in my opinion, the best one yet.”
