Hey there fellow psychology students!
First of all, we sincerely hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas with your family, friends, and loved ones. Like any other time of the year December was once again a BetaBusy month! This edition of the BetaPsi Newsletter will be featuring the organisation's activities during this Christmas Season.

Christmas on Campus
The festivities closed when Her excellency, the President, gave a speech regarding what all this was about. "To truly love", Her excellency exclaimed, "is not to simply donate but to come together and express our deepest respect for those who really need". The vice-president of KSU, Mark Grech, closed the event by donating the beautiful sum of 6 thousand euros for l-Istrina, collected by all organizations to the President.
KSU, together with other student organisations from university and other institutions in Malta, including BetaPsi, went to present the marvelous amount of 21 thousand euros on Boxing Day at the Mediterranean conference center during l-Istrina, collected during the Solidaritree campaign. BetaPsi Vice-President Steve Borg was present.
Apart from the money collected, it is important to note that such activities promote peace, unity, and the idea that everything is achievable if we all work together!
MISTLETOE
In what was a special Christmas edition for the BetaPsi student gathering, Psychology students and friends met at Footloose, Paceville, to celebrate the start of Christmas holidays. The theme for the night was RWG, meaning that attendants where to wear Red, White, and/or Green clothing, to add a Christmasy feel to the mix.
Mistletoe Blitz was also one of the main attractions of this party: 2 bowls were present, and in each bowl there were numbers. The amount of people was divided into 2, and each group picks a number from the bowl. The aim of this was to find your "mate" and share a hug or a kiss or even better... a shot !
Kudos to the BetaPsi-Leisure committee for delivering such an amazing event! BetaPsi-Leisure promises bigger events in the near future. Stay tuned.

Christmas on Campus
BetaPsi once again collaborated in what proved to be yet another fruitful joint effort between KSU and the majority of the student organisations on Campus, with daily activities being organised, drawing the attention of quite a number of students, and fundraising for a major cause.
Together, KSU and Chaplaincy opened these festive days with great speeches and tasty refreshments. Back to the serious stuff, the 3 speaks from 3 respective areas, a priest, a philosophy professor and a councilor from Bethlehem spoke about the main theme of this year Christmas activities, 'Peace'. All organizations were present and of course, BetaPsi was one of them.
BetaPsi contributed to this cause by organising two events: The First Edition of Psychology Movie Nights - 'Girl, Interrupted', which was held on the 4th of December, and the infamous Chilli Challenge, which attracted a crowd of University students at quad, on the 17th of December. During the latter, several individuals tested their intestinal fortitude on their ability to consume one of the hottest peppers on the planet, without drinking milk or eating ice cream for 5 minutes after consumption. With these two events combined, BetaPsi managed to raise a total of around 100 euros for l-Istrina. Thanks everyone for your contribution. BetaPsi also collaborated in the Park and Pay, which is a KSU and SACES initiative, and Frosbite, the official University Christmas party, in aid of l-Istrina.

Earlier this month, Inspire's Yentl Spiteri presented what working at Inspire entails, and the rewarding yet challenging experience working with clients in an NGO could be. Offering some work experience for students pursuing Psychology, Spiteri explained how students from her old Faculty could learn volumes out of an experience like this, and promoted the benefits of working in this environment. This project is a collaboration between KSU, BetaPsi Malta and Inspire Malta in anticipation of The KSU Welfare and Volunteering Office, currently being developed by this year's KSU executive.
