pi kappa phi charters six chapters this fall iota theta tennessee tech Cookeville, Tennessee
Founded: October 22, 2011
Pi Kappa Phi initiated the founding fathers at Tennessee Tech as the new Iota Theta Chapter. Dick Baker, Delta Beta (North Georgia), presided over the chartering as the installation officer. Over the course of the weekend, Baker led the men through the national exam, oversaw the performance of the Ritual of Initiation and guided the ritual debrief and formal installation ceremony. After overcoming numerous hurdles during their five years as an associate chapter, the men of Iota Theta were initiated by a team from Alpha Sigma (Tennessee). The chartering banquet was hosted on campus and more than 50 family members and guests celebrated the chapter’s accomplishments. Tennessee Tech Dean of Students Edwin Baucher, and Katie Williams, director of Greek life, joined the men at the chartering banquet. During the keynote address, Baker congratulated the men on reaching their goal, but challenged them to see their chartering not as the end of a long journey, but rather the beginning of an even greater journey.
iota iota cal poly pomona Pomona, California
Founded: October 29, 2011 Pi Kappa Phi officially welcomed its 225th chapter with the charter of Iota Iota Chapter at Cal Poly Pomona. The chapter was installed by National Treasurer Tracy Maddux, Zeta Theta (Texas), and Regional Governor Alan Wapner, Delta Rho (USC). The 33 founding fathers were initiated by teams
from Theta Sigma (Cal State - Long Beach). The nearly 100 brothers, guests and family members gathered for the banquet on Saturday night to honor the achievements of the chapter over the past 18 months. During the banquet, Maddux complimented the men on the brotherhood they had developed but also offered the brothers perspective on where to focus their efforts. “You have an opportunity in your hands to make a difference, to build something here, but most importantly to build yourself up and develop the leadership skills that will lead you into your future.” (Charterings continued on page 27)
