GreekChat.com Forums - Passing of Henry Poor

Fellow Greeks

It is with much regret that I report the passing of Henry Poor, Psi Upsilon Gamma (Amherst) 39,12/31/1917-9/27/09. Henry Poor was one of the greatest brothers in the history of Psi Upsilon and all of us will miss him. However his impact was not just limited to Psi U. Quoted from our website

Quote:

Henry’s influence extended far beyond Psi Upsilon. He was president of the Fraternity Executives Association (1982-83), an honorary life member of FEA, and a recipient of the FEA Distinguished Service Award for those who contributed outstanding service in the betterment of all college fraternal organizations.
The North-American Interfraternity Conference called on Henry to chair its Commission on Values and Ethics. In 1993 the NIC bestowed on Henry its Gold Medal Award. It is presented for a lifetime of work within the fraternity movement and is the highest interfraternal honor bestowed by the NIC. Lambda Chi Alpha, Zeta Beta Tau and Theta Chi fraternities honored Henry with their interfraternal service awards.

His passing is a great blow to the fraternity movement in general.
