The seeds have been planted by a few charter members who are planning to add one new men’s social club in the fall. The new club in question is Theta Psi.
Theta Psi has a variety of members with different majors and personalities, as well as a few athletes. Their mascot is the wolf, and their colors are gray, crimson, and gold.
The goal of the new organization is to build on the current successes of greek system at the university.
“We are here to help advance the growth of the system, rather than destroy what has already been built,” said Evan Kersten, vice president of Theta Psi.
With 25 planned new members of Theta Psi, the new club wants to be a group that loves Lipscomb and is genuine and comfortable with each other, while also being followers of Christ in the midst of social club activity, according to Kersten.
“They have to be passionate about the club,” said Kersten. If not, it won’t work, he added.
“This isn’t a numbers game, and we aren’t forcing anyone into joining our club. We just want to present all of the options to them, and let them choose for themselves,” said Zach Bowen, president of the new organization.
“Our goal is to have a group of nice, goofy guys that are invested in Lipscomb,” Bowen said.
One of the other charter members, Brock Erb, had looked at the different clubs in the spring, but decided not to pledge any of them.
After another charter member, Devin Clark, asked him to come to a meeting with Theta Psi guys, Erb said he was happy with what he found.
“It goes back to the whole sincerity thing. These are guys that I want to be with, and that I want to spend time with,” Erb said.
