[edit] History

In 1987 DNY was founded at Keene State College as a local Greek organization, only existing at KSC. Over the years we have found that there are very few co-ed Greek organizations out there, especially social ones, and have yet to find one like us. Most co-ed Greeks that we have discovered are service organizations or are for specific majors, but not a social organization like us. Here's some more facts about us:

On Feburary 28th, 1987 Jay LaPanne, Amy LaPanne (Carrier) and Karen Schoch present the idea to the Charter class, then on March 23 submitting the first constitution and the name "Delta Nu Psi", which means "A Change for a new system", to the Student Assembly. They were accepted on October 27, 1987 by the college.

January 24, 1989 - Delta Nu Psi becomes the first Intra-Fraternity/Sorority with its first pledge class that semester.

[edit] Philanthrophy

Delta Nu Psi's Philanthrophy is currently the Keene Community Kitchen. Our members give back to the wonderful Keene Community by lending a helping hand in the Community Kitchen for only 1-3 hours Friday's and whenever else Members chose to do additional Community Service work in the Kitchen. Eventhough Delta Nu Psi isn't a service Greek organization, we still try to help out in our community.

Additionally being apart of a strong community on campus, we were proudly all in attendance with other Greeks to join in a clap-in April 28, 2006 to welcome KSC's new President Helen Giles-Gee before her inauguration. Also as part of President Helen Giles-Gee inauguration week we were also proud to join the other Greeks on campus April 29 in the "Cans Across Keene" drive, as part of the. This drive took place for two hours and spread all the way down Main Street in Keene, collecting generous amounts of can goods to be donated to the Community Kitchen in Keene.

This Fall'06 semester Delta Nu Psi was also once again part of the annual Ashuelot River clean up, which brings all the Greeks together to clean in and around the Ashuelot River area of the campus along with the bike path that runs by campus, plus the Winchester Parking Lot.
