Over the weekend of February 21-23, 2003 our brother united in Dallas to celebrate 50 years of Phi Psi and Texas Beta at Texas Tech University. Getting together for an informal gathering at a Sports Bar in Addison Friday night the brotherhood continued through lunch the next day and dinner that night at the Royal Oaks Country Club.

     Roger and Patsy Camp and Kirk and Christian Devore are to be thanked for their work on behalf of this great weekend. Brian Carr received recognition for his dedication to the fraternity throughout the weekend and he is very appreciative of the honors bestowed on him.
