What area of pharmacy do you work in or are interested in working?
I am pursuing an PGY1 Residency focused in ambulatory care. I am interested in anticoagulation and diabetes management.
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
I had a positive undergrad fraternity experience, so I wanted to check out Kappa Psi once we got the chance to join orgs on South's campus. I enjoyed interacting with the brothers already in, and I had a couple of friend's RUSH with me. It quickly felt like home and the rest is history.
​
What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
Pharmacy school is like riding a bike. Except the bike is on fire, you're on fire, everything's on fire (It is what it is). But remember. You have others pedaling that bike with you every day. Find people that match your speed, then the ride doesn't seem so bad.
Secretary
Nealee Weldon, Delta Omega
What area of pharmacy do you work in or are interested in working?
Community! I have worked at Walmart since 2019 and hope to stay with the company after graduating.
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
I primarily joined Kappa Psi because they were the organization that had the most involvement on my school campus. I saw the brothers at every school event, and I wanted to have that level of involvement as well. I also saw Kappa Psi as a great opportunity to create a community for myself during pharmacy school and give myself as many networking opportunities as I could in the future.
​
What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
Buckle up and lock in. It doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger.
Treasurer
Dr. Reynell David Flores Morales, Tampa Grad
What area of pharmacy do you work in or are interested in working?
I am interested in ambulatory care.
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
I joined Kappa Psi because I admired how impactful the pledging process and Brotherhood was on my fellow peers. I was seeking that same camaraderie and support for myself. I witnessed how strenuous the process was, but nothing worthwhile comes easy. I was eager to grow and give back to those who come after me. I am honored to have been given the opportunity and strive to improve the Fraternity at every turn. Kappa Psi is one of the exceptions where, after becoming a Brother, I can confidently say, the grass is greener on the other side.
​
What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
You are always capable of doing more; take every opportunity you stumble upon and enjoy the ride, it will be a short one.

​
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
I joined Kappa Psi because of its strong professional network, commitment to pharmacy excellence, and opportunities for leadership and service. Seeing Kappa Psi’s presence on campus gave me a sense of brotherhood and support, both within the fraternity and as a pharmacy student.
​
What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
My advice to first-year pharmacy students is to stay organized, manage your time wisely, and actively engage in your learning. Build strong study habits early, seek help early, and take advantage of networking opportunities. Remember, perfection isn’t about being flawless, it’s about giving your 100% effort. Do it well or not at all.
Chaplain
Taylor Altidor, Epsilon Eta
What area of pharmacy do you work in or are interested in working?
I am passionate about regulatory affairs, with a particular interest in global regulatory and policy development. My goal is to contribute to shaping policies that ensure safe, effective, and equitable access to medications worldwide.
​
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
I joined Kappa Psi because I am committed to becoming the best pharmacist I can be, and I knew that surrounding myself with like-minded, driven individuals would help me grow both personally and professionally. As the oldest and largest pharmaceutical fraternity, Kappa Psi offers unparalleled opportunities for leadership, mentorship, and lifelong brotherhood—essential elements in shaping a well-rounded and impactful pharmacist.
​
What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
Pharmacy school becomes more challenging with each semester, so it’s important to find balance. Prioritize your studies, but don’t forget to take breaks, enjoy the journey, and make time for yourself. Rest and self-care are just as important as hard work—both will help you stay motivated and succeed in the long run.
Parliamentarian
Connor Hayes, Zeta Gamma
What area of pharmacy do you work in or are interested in working?
I am currently interested in pursuing a career in industry pharmacy. I am interested in either pharmacovigilance or running clinical trials for new medication development. Industry pharmacy would allow me to fully utilize my skillset and background in analytical chemistry and data analysis.
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
I joined Kappa Psi because I wanted to find my place in pharmacy. I wanted to broaden my horizons and get to know people and expand my professional boundaries. But I kept at it and stayed in Kappa Psi because of the bonds I formed and the people I met, and their dedication to each other and the field of pharmacy as a whole. Becoming a Brother changed me as a person and as a professional, and I thrive in Kappa Psi because I found my place of like-minded individuals.
​
What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to say "I don't know." Don't worry about one single bad grade or course. Everybody has a weakness. If you go in with the mentality that you have to be perfect in everything, you will burn yourself out very quickly. Not everything will go right all the time, and that's okay. Pharmacy school is just that: school. School and classes are the place to make the mistakes. Ask the questions. Learn what you can. Use your peers, your professors, your mentors. You've got a team around you to help when needed. Don't be afraid to let them support you if you stumble. Just take it one step at a time. You've got this.

Webmaster
Victoria Marshall, Zeta Gamma
What area of pharmacy do you work in or are interested in working?
I am interested in a variety of fields and am still weighing my options, though I am leaning more towards something clinical. Currently, I work as a pharmacy intern at CVS Health and East Coast Compounding Pharmacy!
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
Joining Kappa Psi was never part of my plan. In my first year, I couldn’t attend Rush events, and I assumed that meant the opportunity had passed me by. But the day before BID day, one of the brothers, Ruth, sat me down and truly saw me; not just as a potential member, but as a person. She asked about my goals, my dreams, and what I wanted most in life. My answer was simple: to build a family. That desire stemmed from a place of longing as I’ve been independent since I was 18, and while I do have some family, they’re in Pennsylvania, far from my daily reality. For a long time, I carried the weight of feeling alone in the world, but during the pledging process, something changed. I found myself surrounded by people who cared, not just about my presence, but about me. My brothers became my support system, standing by me through personal struggles, lifting me up in ways I never expected. So why did I stay? Because family isn’t just about blood, it’s about the people who choose to stand beside you, even when things get hard. Relationships can be messy, but they are worth fighting for. Kappa Psi gave me that place where I belong, where I am understood, where I am never truly alone. As I built bonds with brothers beyond my chapter, that sense of belonging only deepened. Looking back now, I know with certainty: I made the right choice.

What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
Pharmacy school is exciting yet overwhelming, but remember, you can handle it. Stay organized, seek support, take care of yourself, and always remember your why!
Immediate Past Satrap
Dr. Josuah Tilus, SEFBG and Seattle Grad
What area of pharmacy do you work in or are interested in working?
I am the Co-owner and manager of Chinook Pharmacy and Variety in Forks, Washington!​
​
Why did you join Kappa Psi?
Honestly, I did not initially want to be in Kappa Psi. I only showed up to one rush event my first year before abandoning the fraternity scene. The day before BID Day in my second year, my big, Morgan, and her boyfriend Chad, walked me down the hall of our school's graduates. They pointed to Brothers that they knew on almost every graduate class picture and commented on the relationship that they had with those pharmacists. The fellowship was intriguing and a little confusing. Later that day, I called my boss, a Kappa Psi Brother and owner of independent pharmacy. He told me that Kappa Psi is a group of people who are committed to making the world a better place and that they can have a bigger impact together. That description was something worth being a part of and fighting for, so I joined Kappa Psi.
​
What advice do you have for the first-year pharmacy students?
Write your why down and put that why in a place that you will see every day. There will be moments when you start to despair or get depressed. In those moments, the strength of your why will drive you forward. Develop your soft skills. Pharmacy school becomes easier the more proficient you are in time management, study skills, stress management, communication, public speaking, and typing speed. The hours you invest in developing these skills will pay off exponentially. Get involved in the organizations! Pharmacy school is designed to give you a foundational working knowledge of therapeutics. However, there is more to pharmacy than therapeutics. The leadership, networking, project management, and team dynamics that you learn from the organizations are crucial to your growth in school.
