Pi Delta Ps Tau Chapter has been invited to perform at the WPSU's 18th Annual Connoisseur's Dinner and Auction, featuring Asian Chef Martin Yan. In celebration of Lunar New Year, the Annual Connoisseur Dinner featured an Asian Theme for the night. Although we did not stay long, we put around a 10 minute performance that pleased the crowd. Near the end of our performance, Martin Yan himself played a few beats on the drum! Thank you for inviting us to perform at this amazing event!
Pictures and an online article are located in the Multimedia Section of the webpage. Here is a direct link to the resulting webpage of the event.

Pi Delta Psi wishes everyone here at State College and around the world Happy Lunar New Year! This holiday is celebrated by many Asian cultures and what better way to promote this holiday than perform what we are known here in State College for, Lion Dances! Throughout this week, we will be performing Lion Dances at various locations to help bring luck to the restaurants here at State College and to spread awareness of this joyful holiday. Although Lunar New Year fell on Valentines Day this year and many of the brothers had to return home to celebrate with their families, we still tried our best to let the community know how important this holiday is for the Asian community.
If you wish to come see the performances, listed below is the schedule of the place and time we will be doing the lion dance. These performances only last around 5 minutes, so if you wish to see them, please be there early!

The brothers of Penn State's Pi Delta Psi Fraternity traveled to College Park, MD this weekend to participate in this year's THON efforts. If you do not know, THON is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world. The purpose of THON is to raise funds for awareness of cancer among children. Efforts to raise money for this cause is done all year round and in the spring, an event that takes place for a whole weekend is dedicated to THON. During this event, organizations who raised money can participate in a Dance Marathon (with some people actually staying up for over 36 hours dancing!).
Although the weather did not agree with us this weekend, we were able to accept a generous amount of donations from most of the residents there.
Great thanks to the brothers of the University of Maryland at College Park for hosting us and helping us out, and thank you Dan "Kratos" Oh for actually helping us by participating during the canning experience.
