Brothers Attend Pi Kapp College By Brother Danny Vivenzio
Being an odd year, it was time once again for Pi Kapp College. Theta Tau chapter, like every chapter, sent three delegates to the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, our place of founding. Brothers Brennan Hand, Dave Rad, and myself attended. Over the course of the weekend each brother attended his own unique track at the leadership conference. Brennan went on the chaplain track, Dave, the archon track, and I was on the Standards Board track. These brothers were charged with the responsibility of learning all the new material that nationals had to offer, and teaching it to our fellow brothers upon returning to school in August. During the weekend, we met many brothers from other chapters. Among these brothers were Mark E. Timmes (AE, Florida), CEO of Pi Kappa Phi, and Durward Own (Ξ, Roanoke), Honorary 4th Founder. We even had the chance to watch the Ritual of Initiation; David M. White (BA, NJIT) was the model initiate, who renewed his commitment to Pi Kappa Phi, and also initiated was an Associate Member, who was unable to be initiated when his

chapter chartered. Our chapter received many honors, including Master Chapter Status in Living the Ritual, Effective Alumni Relations, Superior Member Education, and Academic Success. We also received the Emerging Leadership Award on behalf of Brother Brian Thomas, for his commitment to Push America. Our final honor was the Added Value Award for Alumni Initiation. The weekend was definitely a success.
I’m In LA Trick: Greek Week 2009 By Brother David Werner
“Go Pi Kapp….Go Zeta…Go Delta Sigma Theta” was the chant that lead the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity to their second Lip Sync win in two years; that’s right we are back to back champions. This year we had the help of the lovely ladies from Zeta Tau Alpha. Greek Week 2009 consisted of 4 teams: Los Angeles, Sante Fe, Chicago, and St. Louis. Our team, LA paired up with the lovely ladies/lady of Zeta Tau Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta. The week consisted of events such as a Date Auction, Pizza Eating contest, Toga Bowling, flag football, tug of war, and Lip Sync. There was also the Penny Wars for our Greek Goddess and Greek God.
