Alpha Psi Rho

Benefit Show for Hurricane Ondoy

2009-11-15T19:27:00.000-08:00

On November 13th, Alpha Psi Rho and Andres Bonifacio Samahan of San Diego State University through a Benefit show for the victims of Hurricane Ondoy. Hurricane Ondoy was a Hurricane that hit the North part of the Philippines. Ondoy dumped a total of 455 millimeters of rain in Quezon City alone in 24 hours, compared to the 250 millimeters of rain that Hurricane Katrina brought to New Orleans in Louisiana in the United States.

The show did not have an admission cost but people that went could choose to donate. Some of the brhothers working that night was Scott Chen, Kim Impreso, Justin Villanueva, Justin Calica, and David Tong.

Overall the concert was successful raising around $500.

The gentlemen of Alpha Psi Rho would like to thank the many people that donated for this cause.

On July 26, 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a military order conscriptingthe Philippine Commonwealth Army and Old Philippine Scouts under the U.S. Armed Forces. Along with this order came the promise of full benefits as veterans of the US military. However, in 1946, the US Congress passed the Recission Act which reversed this promise stripping these soldiers of all the benefits promised. While the House of Representatives has passed the "Filipino Veterans Equity Act of 2008," which would make one-time payments of $15,000 to Filipinos who are U.S. citizens and $9,000 to non-citizen Filipino veteran, the Senate has not acted on the legislation passed by the House. Out of every single country allied with the US during WWII, the Philippines is the sole nation that has not received benefits for their veterans. This past Wednesday, November 11, 2008, hundreds marched including the gentlemen of Alpha Psi Rho in solidarity to recognize and support the struggle to give the remaining 18,000 out of over 200,000 veterans the rights and honor they deserve in defense of freedom.

Tri Brhotherhood in SD

2009-07-25T14:44:00.000-07:00

On July 24, Summer of 2009, the brhothers of Alpha Psi Rho had a tri brhotherhood with all there three chapters down in San Diego. Cal State University Northridge and San Marcos made the trip down to kick it with the brhos of Alpha Chapter. In the Afternoon, all 3 chapters and lady rhos met up at South Mission Beach to chill and eat some bbq. There were games of Volleyball, Football, and Basketball.

Later that night, all the brhos gathered up at Westfalls to chill and mingle with brhos they barely see. The night ended with CSUN heading back up to L.A. The Brhothers of Alpha Chapter would like to thank Beta and Gamma for coming down and kicken it with us. We know it was a long drive so we greatly appreciate a lot of you guys comin down. Also a special thank you to the many old school brhos for comin out and spendin some of your time with us.

Alpha Psi Rho Conquers Cowles Mountain

2009-07-10T18:00:00.000-07:00

On July 10th, B.J. Gerona planned a brhotherhood hike in Cowells Mountain. The trail we normally use is Mission Trails so this was a first time we would have the hike at Cowells. The time we were supposed to meet was 6:30 at Westfalls but some came a little late and we left Westfalls at 7:30.

We got to Cowells Mountain around 8:00. We stretched and got ready and as we were doing that, we saw other hikers with there professional gear on and walking sticks. We joked around how we were not properly ready for this and looked at the trail we were going to take. I believe it was the Big Rock Trail? I think it was a 5 out of 5 trail meaning the most difficult. I also found the trail that we took online, heres what the website said,

"This most difficult approach to Cowles’ summit is also the most beautiful".

We started the hike and Jon D. almost got us lost the first minute taking the wrong trail. Thankfully some hikers passed us and told us the right trail. The first 10 minutes felt like we were just going through peoples backyards. Then we started going further in and it turned into a real hike.

Rough footing, hedges, and steep hills. This hike was longer than the Mission Trails hike. From the guide, I think it was a full 5 miles going up and back. We got to this fork and for a second I thought we reached the peak but turns out it was only the half way there part. We took a small break, pictures, and Charlee took a crap in the bushes.

This is how it went:

"Hey, whered charlee go?"

"Idk, probably in the bushes"

"Charlee!!, where are you!"

(Hear a fart in the bushes, but no response from charlee)

Mid way point

After Charlee took care of business, we continued on. We ran up this long hill and when we got on top, we saw a long windy road that looked like it was the end. Fastened up the pace and stopped by a part where it had a really nice view.

After that, we went a little bit further and we finally got to the top. The feeling of accomplishment came to us when we touched the rock.

Took a couple of video footage when we were at the top and we saw the whole San Diego Region. We saw Chappy and State and a bunch of other areas. We then took a group picture and made our way down the mountain.

We Above Everything

It was challenging going down since it was really slippery. We got to the place where it forked and then took the trail that we thought we took going up. Turns out, we took the wrong one and came out of the mountain in a different starting location. The phrase of the day was, " I dont remember this!"

The part of the hike coming down that for sure told us we werent on the right trail was that we passed by a little river and bridge. We looked at the trail guide and turns out, we were just half a mile from where we started so we just jogged and saw our cars down the road.

CSUN Tri Brhotherhood

2009-06-28T21:46:00.000-07:00

June 26-28 was Alpha Psi Rho's Tri Brhotherhood hosted by Beta Chapter at Northridge.
The plan was a Club Event Friday Night in hollywood.
I couldnt make it to that one but brhos shared stories of a fun night.

Saturday was a very busy day. Many brhos that couldnt make it Friday night drove up Saturday morning.

Drivin up, we came upon a big accident.
A whole trailer in the middle of the highway taking 3 lanes and a dude on the floor!

Then a bike 100 feet away.
What Happened? We have no idea.

We made it up to CSUN after 2 hours of drivin?
The plan was a sports day but since it was summer time in Northridge, the heat was probably over 95 degrees and the sports day was cancelled, but brhos didnt want to waste a perfectly good day so we all decided to take a trip to Santa Monica Pier and Mall which was only 15 minutes away.
Took 4 cars and just messin with each others windshield wipers on red lights.

Walked around, looked at street performers, and visited the pier.
There were all types of street performers from Street dancers, people playing guitar, a little kid singing karaoke, gymnist Dad and son, pretty interesting.
A dude preachin atheism I think?
All the brhos mobbed deep with 20 people walking around the mall and pier.

We saw Ron Jeremie walking around

Afterwards, everyone went to TGIF for dinner.
Our reservation was cancelled because we took too long at the pier and we had to wait about 50 minutes to seat all of us. We basically ate dinner at 9:45 haha.

Once everyone finished up, all the brhos headed to Johnny Nguyens house for the party.
And thank you J-Nox for hosting the party at his house.
Highlight of the night was Flannel and the Apsirho shot.
Whats even better is that i've got it in video. Who ever wants to see it, just ask me.

Sunday was a meeting with all three chapters on the Northridge campus.
Supposed to start at 1 but because of some people, it started at 2:15 haha.
All good, when have we ever been on time right?
3 hours of talking about things that needed to be taken care of.
Good brainstorming, ideas, solutions, laughs.
The Fraternity is in good hands for those who want a quick summary.

So overall fun weekend up in Northridge
So thank you Beta Chapter for planning a good brhotherhood weekend.
For those that could not make it, I suggest going to the next one.
Being with brhos you hardly see, sharing moments and memories that you can look back on, what not to love right?

P.S. Thank you to the brhos that let Alpha and Gamma crash at there homes.

First Brhotherhood Hike

2009-06-11T22:47:00.000-07:00

So some brhos decided to be active and adventurous this summer and do a little bit of hiking.
El Presidente, Dru, Flannel, Nate, & I. Everyone met up at westfalls at 8:30 and drove to Mission trails. I nice little spot for group hikes not too far from state. It was fun, good place for a brhotherhood so hopefully we do more of these in the future.
And it was free! Dont we all love doing fun things and free just tops it off like a cherry on an ice cream.
Being sweaty, wilderness, brhos. What more do you need?! Passed some bee nests, climbed a couple of rocks, slipped on some ledges, wrote AYP on a tree, encountered a rattling rattlesnake on the way down! Pretty damn good day. The weather was perfect too. Not cold at all and some clouds to block the sun. Pretty fun day. Whoevers down for the next one, just hit up your friendly brhotherhood chair Nate Gepila!
