Dakota Ray Hill Historian EE 396
Pi Kappa Phi is proud to present its current E-Board for the 2013 Spring Semester. Elected last fall, these 7 brothers have attended and trained at the annual Midyear Leadership Conference in January while waiting patiently for their chance to put forth their best effort as elected executives for the Epsilon Epsilon chapter. Without a doubt this semester’s E-Board looks to provide the actives with a resource for fresh ideas and innovative attitudes to the path way of success. The positions and those hereby elected to them are as follows‌. (From left to right)
Archon Nate Large
Chaplain
Keenan France
Vice Archon Ryon Birtsch
Historian
Dakota Hill
Treasurer Pake Davis
Warden Capers Zentmeyer
Secretary
Eric Hartnett
As a chapter with over forty-six members it can sometimes be difficult to organize every brother consistently and efficiently which is why the Epsilon Epsilon chapter utilizes a committee system. Individual actives are appointed to oversee a group of brothers in hopes of helping them to organize the completion and carrying out of a specific task at hand. Our remarkable heads of committees are essential to the everyday survival and business of the Pi Kapps here at Uva-Wise, without them our future would be hazy. To better understand the current active chapter and to place a face with a name, those appointed and who serve our great fraternity here in Wise are as follows: Risk Management Donald Williams
Push Chair Corey Sanchez
Intramurals Devin Cash
Scholarship Todd Galyean
Social Josh Worrell
Standards Jordan Viars
Fundraising Nathan Rasnake
IFC Aaron Orr
Promotional Tyler Reaves
Both the Executive Board members as well as the committee heads are more than ready to help assist by any means necessary. If you need any assistance in contacting the chapter or organizing an event or have any thoughts you think we may be able to use, please do not hesitate to contact us!

A Lifetime of Brotherhood As 2012 came to a close the ΠΚΦ Epslion Epsilon Chapter turned a page in its over thirty year history here at Uva-Wise. New brothers were welcomed to join the sacred bond shared by over 441 brothers!; However, the chapter was sad to see 4 of its most experienced and devout active brothers move onto their next stage in life. We as the Active chapter would like to dedicate this month’s newsletter to the brothers of ….
Ryan Bierliar EE363, Jared Dix EE374, Ayinde Bridges EE376, Mark Collins EE386 For all the time, commitment, work, resource, knowledge, humor, trust, belief, and most of all love that you four have put into not only the chapter, but the actives that will continue to keep the fire burning. Without you four the Epsilon Epsilon could have never achieved such great heights and grown to the level of success it finds itself reaching today. May your future days and paths in life be prosperous, healthy and full of happiness and love. From Epsilon Epsilon we thank you. Cheers Boys. “Burlee” The Recruiter Pro Bro
