Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity held its 53rd Grand Council Convention in Boston, Massachusetts. The host hotel was the Sheraton Boston, located in the historic Back Bay neighborhood and adjacent to the Prudential Center and Copley Place Mall. The history of Boston and the commitment to brotherhood enticed the largest number of brothers to gather for the 53rd GCC, breaking the previous record of 440 set in Myrtle Beach in 1983. Four-hundred forty-one brothers, spouses, children and guests were in attendance at the 53rd GCC.

Convention Summary
Tuesday's opening evening session began with the opening Ritual and the tying of the Golden Bow by Grand Ritualist Andrew Frasco. This was followed by the keynote address by Brian Reisetter, who talked about financial responsibility. Convention Chair Sean Higgins then informed the brothers that the Kappa Psi webpage would be updated daily to reflect the preceding day’s events along with the upcoming schedule. Grand Regent Dave Maszkiewicz made committee announcements, which was followed by a welcome from Mu Chapter Regent Chris Nadeau. Grand Counselor Becky Fahrenbruch then went over the house rules. Dr. Robert Magarian then introduced the candidates for International Office who were given 5 minutes each for their opening remarks. As a side note, the microphone went dead in the middle of E. Ben Welch's speech. Following the candidates’ speeches, Dean Emeritus, Dr. Benjamin R. Hershenson, gave a short speech on the history of Mu Chapter and his involvement with the chapter. The Opening Reception was held in the Back Bay rooms and during the reception, the raffle program began.
Wednesday's session started with a breakfast for the spouses and children. The brothers heard the various Executive Committee Members' reports along with several committee reports. There were two large projection screens set up for showing any Power Point presentations and/or general information that would be helpful to the brothers. The afternoon was dominated with Collegiate workshops and four C.E. programs for the graduates. The evening held the Graduate and Benefactor reception which was then followed by the Ice Cream Social.
Thursday saw the completion of the committee reports along with reports from the Provinces. Following the morning session, the Sixth Biennial Scholarship Luncheon was held. A group picture was then taken in the hallway between the Sheraton and the Prudential Building. The remainder of the afternoon was free until 5pm when the Roundtable Discussion were held. Graduate brothers from various pharmacy disciplines were available at tables and answered questions about their field from the undergrads who attended. This was very well attended and will probably become a permanent event at future conventions. Following this, the reception for the GCDs was held which coincided with the Second Texas Hold'em Tournament.
Friday morning saw the final reports given and the Legislative Hearing was conducted. The Foundation Golf Tournament was also held this afternoon. Unfortunately, the weather was off-and-on showers, but this did not deter the teams. Following the Legislative Hearing, the Central Office held a workshop entitled "Your Role", in which the undergrads were shown exactly what their roles were in helping the Central Office run smoothly. Following this, the Executive Director's staff handed out the reimbursement checks to the collegiate delegates. The remainder of the day was free.
You could feel the excitement building on Saturday morning as the brothers attended General Session V, which meant the elections were only a few hours away. The various Constitutional amendments were voted on, with some passing, some failing and some being tabled and referred back to the Legislative Committee. Following the amendments, the Resolutions were brought forward, again with the majority passing. Lunch was on your own and the majority of brothers went in to the Prudential Plaza area and ate at the Food Court.
The 6th and last General Session started back at 1:15pm with the major focus being the election of new International Officers. During the elections, raffle numbers were called out and several announcements concerning the Good of the Order were presented. Following this session and starting at 7pm, was the Alpha Reception, which was then followed by the 128th Anniversary Banquet. The presentation of the monies raised for M.S. was presented, along with the quilt. Following this present ion, many awards were given out, including letters of commendation to Mr. Craig Burkin, International Webmaster, Dr. Kristl Tom, Web Services Coordinator, Michael Cournoyer, Regent of Boston Grad, and Chris Nadeau, Regent of Mu Chapter.
Then the outgoing Grand Regent, Dave Maszkiewicz, gave his remarks and then installed the new officers. The newly installed Grand Regent, Dr. Lawrence "LB" Brown, gave a short speech and general outline for the upcoming two years. The brothers then went back into the foyer to retake another group photo. The brothers were then entertained by a local DJ.
