UNSTOPPABLE Upsilon Chapter History

Alvaro J Fay

Gamma Chapter 

Thee Unstoppable Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Psi Lambda was first founded in the summer of 2006 by 5 noble men and women. The dream first started when Alvaro Fay, a member from the GREAT gamma chapter of Alpha Psi Lambda, transferred to Florida Atlantic University from Northern Illinois University to pursue his degree in Information Technology. After transferring, he quickly got involved on campus and joined the club known as the Association of Latin American Students. It was from that organization, where he met the 5 individuals who would one day become the founders of Thee Unstoppable Upsilon chapter at Florida Atlantic University. All five students wanted to make an impact at FAU and get more involved on campus. After doing extensive research, the decision was made by the end of Fall 2005 at a Chilis restaurant in Boca Raton, to bring Alpha Psi Lambda to Florida Atlantic University. During Spring 2006, these 5 individuals decided to embark on a journey together. Through their diligent work, dedication and perseverance they conquered what some couldn’t, the right to represent Alpha Psi Lambda as the founders at Florida Atlantic University. After they reached the middle of summer, all their hard work paid off and the founding line known as “Los Deseados” was born! Since then, our Unstoppable Upsilon chapter continues to make a positive impact at Florida Atlantic University, and every year grows stronger as we seek out students to join our Familia!
