The Beta Psi (Delphi) chapter of Psi Iota Xi was recognized as one of the three outstanding chapters in the West Central District at the National Psi Iota Xi Convention.

The chapter was chosen because of its dedication to helping the community in many ways, including volunteering, scholarships, and funding of local projects.

The Delphi chapter also won a $1,000 grant to be used in the literature/literacy field.

Delphi Psi Otes attending the convention June 20-22 in Evansville were Andrea Smothers, Rita Clark, and Mary VanSickle.

Psi Iota Xi is a philanthropic sorority with 3,302 members in five states. The main focus of the organization is supporting communities in speech, hearing, art, music, and literature. On the national level, this past year, Psi Ote chapters gave over $1 million to scholarships and projects in these areas.

Two of the long-term projects that have received funds in the past few years are the Coclear Implant Project (hearing) and Cleft Palate Project. Each of these projects have received over $100,000 for research and treatment.
