ETA UPDATE Eta Upsilon Initiates 18 Chi’s LOOKS FORWARD TO CONTINUAL GROWTH By Alex McGauley, Historian, #249 Well into the second semester, Eta Upsilon has plenty to report. The biggest news, and one of our proudest, is that we have 18 associate members in the Chi class, our biggest class since the Founding Father class. The Chi class earned fourth place in “Puttin’ on the Hits,” one of our best ever. Although this may seem like a great accomplishment, the hardworking brothers were hoping for a higher finish, a clear example of the chapter’s desire to be the best it can. The Chi class held a Push America event in mid-March at Miami’s recreational center and raised awareness for Push America and well over $700 in donations and pledged donations in a single day. The Chi class is working on its puddle pull. Initiation was Saturday, March 29 at noon in the Presbyterian Church in uptown Oxford. During spring break in March, five active members headed to Camp Little Giant in Carbondale, IL, for Push Camp. There, along with forty other Pi Kapp undergraduates from around the country, the actives painted an entire mess hall, refurbished a cabin and started work on an amphitheater. With the Chi class initiated, the chapter is looking forward to further recruitment, giving out about a dozen bids during Spring Rush. The chapter is looking to surmount the previous fall’s class of ten associates, aiming for ten to 12 recruits for the Psi class. Pi Kappa Phi has experienced unprecedented success on the athletic field, going undefeated in the regular season for indoor soccer and beating an undefeated Delta Chi in the playoffs, 10-8 in overtime. As the academic year winds down, Eta Upsilon will be saying farewell to 11 graduating seniors. This summer, two of those seniors, Jake Kaple and Adam Troeger Van Treese, are signed up for Push America national events. Jake, who has ridden in the Journey of Hope, is scheduled to bike in Florida for Gear Up Florida. Adam will be riding cross country on his first ever Journey of Hope.
Proud to be. As we all continue to scatter across the country and around the world, I am continually reminded of how proud I am to be !iends and brothers with a" of you. Our members are always there when we need each other, whether we knew each other as active members or not. If you haven’t done so in a while, I would like to encourage you to reconnect with brothers you haven’t spoken with in a while, or even connect with a brother that you have never met. It’s easy to get caught up in our busy lives, but it is always nice to remember what a great organization we are a part of and that is because of each of you. We hope you enjoy reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones in this issue of the Eta Update. -Brandon Tudor, #81, Editor brandon.tudor@mac.com (A special thanks to Alex McGauley, the current Historian, for a" of his hard work in putting together the material for this newsletter.)

Meet The New Executive Council ARCHON By Jason Marsico, #218 Hello, alumni! If I haven’t met you, my name is Jason Marsico, and I am the president of our chapter of Pi Kappa Phi (and a junior at Miami). My experience in Pi Kapp has been an outstandingly fun one; I dove in headfirst as a freshman associate, and haven’t looked back! The time I’ve spent in Pi Kapp has been highlighted by such events as associate class Puddle Pull and Puttin’ on the Hits, two Greek Weeks, and several intramural sports (including our playoff teams in basketball and indoor soccer) and leadership positions. Before becoming president, I was our Warden, meaning that I got to hang out with our associate members a lot, an experience that was incredibly enjoyable.
To c i te a f e w e x a m p l e s o f o u r c o n t i n u o u s improvement, our GPA is routinely in the top five on campus, and our new member class GPA has been the top on campus four out of the past six semester (the other two times we were second and third). Our recruitment numbers have increased from 12 in two classes in 2005-2006 to 28 in 2007-2008. Our Greek Week finishes have improved steadily, as we our now a force to be reckoned with in the all-Greek event. Push America, our service and outreach program, is simply without peer among fraternities and sororities, and our chapter won Push’s top award, the Leadership through Service award, last summer. The governing body of fraternities, the Inter-Fraternity Council, features three Pi Kapps (out of a total of ten members), who were voted in by the presidents of all 26 chapters at Miami. Last year, the Greek Man of the Year and the Greek Most Dedicated to Service both came from Pi Kappa Phi. In the history-rich atmosphere of Miami Greek Life (which is approaching 175 years of age), Pi Kappa Phi is no longer an up-and-coming chapter. Pi Kappa Phi has arrived, and is doing great things.
The amount of improvement our chapter has made in the past two years is truly remarkable. When I came into the chapter two years ago, I doubt whether anyone would argue that Pi Kapp was one of I am proud both to be a part of and to lead our the ten best chapters at Miami. Now, gazing out over organization, and look forward to helping Pi Kapp to the Greek landscape, I would challenge anyone to ever-loftier heights in the near future. argue that Pi Kapp is not one of the top five here at Miami. In every area imaginable, we have made exponential improvement. VICE ARCHON By David Partridge, #253 Hello, my name is Dave Partridge and I am the newly elected Vice Archon for our chapter. I am very excited about our chapter’s growth just in the past few years, and am honored to be heading up recruitment following the largest rush class, with 18 associates, since the founding fathers. I am a product of the Phi class, where I was the social chair. I initially followed that path and was elected Internal
Social Chair for the fraternity for a garding recruitment to my email while before stepping down to at partridg@muohio.edu. take over as Vice Archon. My passion is in our new members - as well as possible recruits - and their power to take the chapter to new heights. The chapter’s future lies in the hands of these young men, and I full-heartedly believe that they will exceed all expectations. As our chapter continues its growth, feel free to send me any ideas, thoughts or questions re-

chapter and each member individually. I am currently a junior at Miami (although I’m planning on the infamous 5th year victory lap) and am majoring in accountancy with a minor in management information systems. I was initiated into the chapter last spring with the Upsilon class, where I served as class president. In the past year, Pi Kapp has given me the best experiences of my college career, including winning my first puddle pull during Greek Week, beating Beta in broomball,
and my great experience with my brothers from around the country at Push Camp. During my term on the Executive Council, I hope that our chapter can sustain its current growth in recruitment, successfully prepare the chapter for a transition with the second year housing initiative, and take steps towards purchasing our chapter house.

sophomore and am majoring in zoology with the hopes of attending medical school after my undergraduate years. I joined Pi Kappa Phi last spring and am a member of the Upsilon class. I have held various positions within the chapter and was elected to Push Officer in November. I, along with four others, just returned from Carbondale, IL where we spent our spring break at Push Camp. We went to the Touch of Nature Environmental Center. Every summer the center holds a summer camp for people with disabilities called Camp Little Giant. Camp Little Giant was one of the pioneers in camping for individuals with disabilities. It has been providing continuous summer camping programming since 1952. At the camp, the five of us, along with about forty other Pi Kappa Phi’s, refurbished a cabin, worked on a deck for an amphitheater, and painted the inside of a mess hall. We hope that with our help the camp is better able to serve people with disabilities. In e a r l y A p r i l a b o u t 2 5 E t a Upsilons traveled to Carrollton, KY for Give-A-Push Weekend. We worked at Camp KYSOC and built an accessible pavilion. One of my goals for the remainder of my term is to initiate a largescale, campus-wide philanthropy event. Ideas for the event are currently being pursued and the event will probably be held in the early fall of 2008. If you have an ideas or opinions about the event, please feel free to email me at hakets@muohio.edu.

Why Denver and Supreme Chapter? Bruce Rogers will be recognized as Mr. Pi Kappa Phi, the highest individual award in Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. We want to have a good showing of Pi Alphas to show support for Bruce. It is also an excellent opportunity to attend a Supreme Chapter if you have not in the past.
Fundraising Each participant is asked to continue to support Push America’s mission of building leaders of tomorrow by serving people with disabilities today by fundraising a minimum of $500. Pi Alphas who exceed $750 will receive a 2008 jersey (while supplies last). Average fundraising in 2007 was $766 and with the new online fundraising capabilities it is easier than ever.

Although our struggling record as of March 2008 may indicate the word “professional” is used loosely, matching up on weekends against the best inline players from St. Louis and Chicago justifies the weekday pain.

It was a huge Push Camp with 44 undergraduates from all around the country. This was my third time to Touch of Chris Haedt, Matt Steiger, and I also had the Nature (Camp Little Giant).
