GRAND ARCH COUNCIL MEMORABILIA

By Timothy Tangen Minn -Duluth ‘03

Throughout the history of the Grand Arch Council, trinkets or giveaways have been provided for attendees to commemorate the occasion. While we do not have a complete collection or even record of what was given away or when, we do have several pieces that span more than 100 years of GAC. Phi Psi swag varies from simple pins (most years) to more useful items such as a pocketknife (1916 Pittsburgh) or matchbook holder (Boston 1924). 

Some of the GAC swag highlighted the specific culture of the host city, such as the branded hot sauce bottle (2006 New Orleans) and the Poker Chip Challenge coin (2018 Las Vegas).
