State of the House Address ~Nick Cantoni - #898, Archon

Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi, I would just like to inform you of a few events that I feel are very important for the chapter. First of all I would like to highlight that our chapter has become very motivated regarding Push America. Over our spring break 6 of our members decided to partake in Push Camp, and on April 12th, we had 2 people attend Give-A-Push Weekend. For the most part this is unprecedented. I myself did Gear Up Florida last summer, and now this summer we have 2 more brothers, Chris Adams and Andrew Weiner, who decided to step up and take the challenge. Dedication, motivation, and all around hard work like this is invaluable in our chapter. We truly are building leaders of tomorrow by serving people with disabilities today. Now, on a separate note, we are facing a fairly large issue between the Greek community and the school administration. Presently, the school is working on a new housing policy that I feel would be very harmful for our chapter and the rest of the Greeks as well. To sum up this policy for everyone, the school is looking to retain all freshmen in the dorms for their first full year. Our freshmen class makes up roughly a third of our house population each year, so for this policy to take effect we would face serious difficulties.

This policy is following a process, and currently we are presenting the school with our grievances against this and they in turn will take these, compile them, and present those to the Provost and the President (whom they said this policy was handed down by). I implore all of you, as alumni; please help us with this issue. If you have any contacts within IITs staff please contact them and let them know that this is a bad thing for the Greek community and that the Greek community truly is a great thing for students. Thank you, and if you have any questions or concerns please email me; archon@iitpikapps.com
