The 19th Hole Eta Sigma Hits 300!
Past Warden Adam Villaroya

By Mike Borger MwBorger@ucla.edu After a long pledge quarter, on November 24, 2008, Pi Kappa Phi Eta Sigma Chapter initiated its 300th brother. Of the sixteen initiates of Alpha Zeta, the most notable are Brian Borneman (#285), who was initiated first in his class, Rob Ludgate (#292), Eta Sigma’s second British brother, and Nate Weissman, number 300,. The pledge quarter itself was a grueling challenge. Between the weekly quizzes and I-week, some members of Alpha Zeta found themselves struggling to keep up. However, everyone pulled through and made it to initiation in one piece. After a ridiculously busy quarter filled with sub-rituals, brotherhood events, parties, row walks, more parties, a trip to USC that they’ll never forget, and an epic quarterly party
that left the class in a euphoric haze, the members of Alpha Zeta had arrived at the most important moment of their life as they were initiated as brothers of Pi Kappa Phi. The future of this most recent class looks bright. Although Alpha Zeta’s class project didn’t exactly work out as planned, the class has quickly worked to compensate by becoming involved within the house. The positions of Social Chair, Scholarship Chair, Ritual Chair, Intramural Chair, and Standards of Excellence Chair have all been locked down by Alpha Zetas. Also, eight members of Alpha Zeta, including myself, will embark upon the yearlong journey that is living in the house. The class looks forward to further growing the chapter and to doing their share.
