The year 2007 marks a significant milestone in the Omega chapter’s history as we celebrate our 85th year of brotherhood in Pi Kappa Phi. In anticipation of this milestone year, the Omega of Pi Kappa Phi housing corporation sent out a mailer last year asking alumni how they would most like to commemorate the anniversary. We decided that to institute a summer gathering when hotels and venues are far more plentiful than during football season. We set Saturday, June 9, for our keystone event honoring Omega’s 85th. A

Saturday night event will be the focus of our celebration, but there will be weekend-long events for alumni and their families at Purdue. Times are subject to change. • 6 p.m. to midnight, Friday, June 8. Informal registration at the house. We’ll maintain a master list at the chapter house of who is registered for the weekend, what hotels they will be staying at and have a list of cell phone numbers for alumni to contact their counterparts while visiting campus. • 8 p.m., Friday to 2 a.m. Saturday.

Help! In order to pull off any significant event, such as Omega’s 85th anniversary, we need alumni volunteers. In 1997, at our 75th anniversary, we had more than 50 alumni volunteers in various capacities. The result was more than 400 Omega alumni, family and guests attending the weekend activities – the largest Pi Kappa Phi alumni gathering outside a Supreme Chapter in the fraternity’s history. In 2002, upon our 80th anniversary, we had more than 30 volunteers and we had nearly 200 alumni and guests. Now, since we’re trying a major summer event for the first time in our history, we are appealing to our alumni to step up and assist us. We have the following needs: Decade chairmen would be someone who organizes the efforts for one of the following decades 1940s, ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s. Those people would be responsible for following up with class chairmen who would make calls, do e-mails, etc. promoting the events and getting commitments to attend by other alumni. Class chairmen would contact alumni in a one- or two-year period (such as pledges for the spring and

FEBRUARY 2007 fall 1978, and maybe spring 1979 too). Event coordinators would be responsible for the weekend’s events (such as coordinating the house improvement project, taking care of the banquet program, coordinating golf, house clean up, etc.). Thus far, the following alumni have volunteered: David Lane (835), chairman of event Jack Powers (449), decade chairman Robert Rust (464), decade chairman Mike O’Reilly (632), class chairman Mike Ohaver (724), decade chairman Greg Linder (951), class chairman Larry Metzler (956), class chairman Jeff Vogt (1187), class chairman Steve Bohner (1077), class chairman Jeff Egilsrud (1090), class chairman Mark Nigh (1262), decade chairman Brian Schurter (1306), class chairman Jim Thompson (1404), class chairman Gene Ward (1412), class chairman Kevin Ohaver (1438), class

Former Student of the Year, now with FBI Nobody could ever accuse the 1989 Student of the Year of not being focused. Naive, yes, focused no. When Jake Olesen (Omega 1178) graduated from high school he had never consumed caffeine. Purdue and fraternity life was a jolt to his system, yet he adjusted. The unworldly freshman sees the world in a whole different perspective today. Despite being admitted to Purdue under probation because of his high school academic struggles in school, he graduated with honors in 1989 with a BS in math. He moved directly to a PhD program at Purdue, once again in math. Between he drinking his first Coca-Cola and PhD, he was named the top student among 5,000 Pi Kappa Phi peers nationwide in 1989. He was presented the award at Supreme Chapter in Washington, DC. Oh, the irony of that trip. Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kansas, more than a decade removed from a run as vice president and years before his own run for the presidency, was the keynote speaker and shared the podium where Olesen was presented his award. Dole spoke about service to his country and what it meant in his life. Dole, a disabled U.S. Veteran and the champion of the World War II memorial effort in Washington, talked about his Greek experience as well. Olesen, as an undergraduate, served the Omega chapter as rush chairman, warden and archon. As rush chairman, he pledged 36 men – the largest class in the chapter’s history. Armed with a doctorate seven years after finishing his days in the chapter, Olesen headed to Annapolis, MD, “to serve my country and that kind of stuff,” he said. Olesen worked in a variety of government security jobs in the

Washington area with an eye on one job – an FBI agent. “I knew that I wanted to get into the Bureau and so I started teaching computer forensic courses at the defense cyber crime center, so that I could improve my resume,” Olesen said. “I’d been a government guy by that time, even though I was working for a contractor in the defense cyber crime center. So by then I had six years of government service.” In 1998, while working for another government agency, Olesen earned a Master’s degree in computer science and computer engineering. So, in March 2002 at the age of 35, he achieved his dream. Olesen, who was always a gym rat as an undergrad, didn’t have difficulty achieving the mental and physical requirements of the FBI. Today, he works in the cyber crime area solving crimes in hacking and espionage. He works in counter terrorism and is a member of his division’s SWAT team with his primary role in counter terrorism response. He also tracks down child predators who use the Internet. “Nothing feels as good as getting one of those guys I can tell you,” he said. He is assigned the San Diego office, but can solve computer crimes anywhere in the world. “There is certainly no direct application of my undergraduate degree,” he said. “I certainly haven’t had to sit down with any crooks and solve any integrals, but the logical thought process that one gets when they earn a degree – especially at a place like Purdue, certainly can’t hurt in law enforcement or investigative work.” Before moving to San Diego, he met a woman, Sheila, at a Maryland gym who didn’t have his cyber crime solving abilities, but

she tried her hand at criminal research. She did her own background check of some guy she met at the gym. Fortunately for Olesen her technique sucked. “She only went out with me because she thought I was somebody else,” he said. “I asked her out and she said, ‘no,’ but she continued to research me to see if I was a psychopath or killer or something like that, but she researched the wrong person. The other guy was OK – thank goodness for that.” The two married in 2003. Although his math degrees might not lend themselves directly to what he does today, Olesen said his Pi Kappa Phi experience does. “I end up interviewing people, talking to crooks trying to determine what people’s motives are,” he said. “So the interpersonal and leadership skills that one develops within Pi Kappa Phi are completely valuable and relevant – especially when it comes to things like leading a team, or heading up or participating in a task force – these things are no different to running a committee or taking an office within the chapter.” Olesen is not the only chapter alumnus serving as an FBI agent. Mike Dowler (Omega 1470), an alumnus initiate who served as academic advisor when he lived in Lafayette, works in the Chicago area investigating bank robberies. Another Omega alumnus, Troy Harris (Omega 1375), makes a career in law enforcement as well. Harris is a sergeant in the West Lafayette Police Department.

Omega chapter continues accomplishments By Zach Isbell Spring Archon Morale is near an all-time high among the undergraduate brothers of the Omega chapter after wrapping up a very successful fall semester. A major highlight was a second place overall finish in the Fraternity intramural standings. This ranking marks the fourth consecutive semester we have been ranked in the top five. Omega continues to have success in other campus organizations with brothers in executive positions in Old Masters, Student Education Council, Student Publishing Foundation, Purdue Roller Hockey Club, Purdue Society of Professional Engineers and the Interfraternity Council. This fall also saw a new Push America philanthropy effort from our members, Project Accessibility. David Stinette (1689), Josh Stolarz (1643), and Jim Vasil (1677) were integral in organizing this project involving the construction of a wheelchair ramp for a disabled Delphi, IN, woman. The project allowed her to more easily leave her home to conduct everyday tasks. We are working on finding another person in need to complete a spring project. The fall semester had some shortcomings, too. Past archon Tom Harzula (1619) failed to win election as a Starke County councilor. Perhaps he should seek campaign advice from State Sen. Brandt Hershman (1196). Finally, the chapter recruited 24 men for its fall class, with 20 remaining. We look to have a successful spring recruitment due to the referral letters we have received from alumni as well as other Pi Kapp chapters. Beyond recruitment, the chapter is looking forward

ness for the disabled. Yang will be the 10th Omega riders in the event, which was founded in 1988. Part of his responsibilities are to raise $5,000 through sponsorships from family, friends and Omega chapter connections. Yang, who was rush chairman last fall, is this spring’s Push chairman. You can contact him at 219/201-5892 or at ymyang@purdue.edu. Alumni are encouraged to support him on his fund raising efforts. You can make online donations through the Push America Web page (www.pushamerica.org), click donate and search for team member “Yang.” “Push America and its ideals

were strong motivators for me to become a member of Pi Kappa Phi,” Yang said. “I was personally inspired by hearing about the Journey of Hope at the Mid-Year Leadership Conference. I am very honored, privileged and excited to be part of the 2007 Journey of Hope team and appreciate any donation.” Omega’s Journey of Hope participants include: Brian Carlson, 1991; Wallace Davis, 1994; Porter Draper, 1996; Carson Eddy Jr., 1997; Andy Parker (twice), 1997, 1999; Brian Quandt, crew, 1997; Brent Grunig, 1998; Gary Fischer, 2000; Jake Fehrman, 2002; and Phil Leslie, 2002.

Chapter initiates three parents at Founders Day It’s safe to assume that the three newest members of the Omega chapter had no expectation of becoming Greek in their lifetimes. The fathers of three undergraduates were united by the ritual of initiation to become brothers during Omega’s Dec. 10, Founders Day ceremonies. Tom Hefner (initiate No. 1697), a 1970 Purdue graduate who lived in cooperative housing during his undergraduate days, didn’t see the invitation coming. “I was surprised to be included in the three parents initiated that day in that there are many well deserving parents,” he said. Hefner is the father of undergraduate Hank (1653) and Alpha Psi alumnus (Indiana University) Curt. Both sons held the office of chaplain at their respective chapters. “I was honored to become a member of the fraternity as an alumnus initiate with two sons having chosen the fraternity,” he said. “What was especially rewarding about the initiation experience and being part of our Founders Day celebration was the respect that all the members showed for each other.” Hefner earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial economics and retired in 2004 as CEO and 2005 as chairman of Duke Realty Co., in Indianapolis – the largest mixed office/industrial real estate companies in the nation. He received an honorary doctorate from Purdue in 2006 from the Krannert Management School. Mike Holtsclaw (1698), a 1979 Purdue graduate in electrical technology, is the father of Steve (1666) who weeks later assumed the presidency of the campus Interfraternity Council. As a freshman in 1975, the senior Holtsclaw never gave any thought to becoming Greek.

“I did not have an opinion one way or another about fraternities until I met my wife, who was a Kappa at Vanderbilt,” he said. “I saw what the fraternity experience has meant to her and how it has been an important part of her life since college. “I have seen what it has meant to Steve and how it has been a very positive experience for him.” Holtsclaw, like the other two parents initiated that day, used the words “honored” to describe the experience. “I had never heard of someone my age being initiated into a fraternity,” he said. “I am happy to be part of this group of fine, young men.” Holtsclaw, who is director of Power Delivery Operations for Indianapolis Power & Light Co., shares something with his new brother, Tom Hefner. Both are married to members of Kappa Kappa Gamma. “She (Mike’s wife) thought it would be a great experience for Steve and me to be in the same fraternity and to share that experience,” Holtsclaw said. The third alumnus initiate worked his way into the brotherhood – literally. John Perone, father of Jeff (1661), owns a construction compa-

ny in northwest Indiana. Prior to his son’s moving into the fraternity house in 2005, the father refinished the entire second and third floor hallways. The plaster-like, textured material often adorns high usage hallways in hotels. The national fraternity has been doing alumni initiations since 1928, when a local fraternity at Brooklyn Polytech joined Pi Kappa Phi. The alumni of that local fraternity became Pi Kapps immediately prior to the undergraduates’ initiation. Two of those alumni who were initiated in 1928, later became national presidents. “Many men who did not have the opportunity to join a fraternity as a student have enjoyed the fraternal bonds as an alumnus initiate,” Mark Timmes, national CEO, said. “Many have become involved at all levels including national president of the fraternity.” The Omega chapter has initiated a handful of alumni locally. The list includes three chapter advisors – Howard Michaud (507), Don Seybold (1174) and Pat Kuhnle (1197) – and one academic advisor, Mike Dowler (1470). Other alumni initiates have included former students who transferred to another institution or left Purdue for the military, including Ed Miller (1312), Pat Conner (1560), Paul Marchese (1604), John Kipta (1646), Jerry Ban (1647) and Troy Wright (1669). There have been parents and friends who have also been so honored. They include: Dr. Vic Kapoor (1539, former president of the University of Toledo and father of Mark Kapoor (1501); Carson Eddy Sr. (1402), father of Carson Eddy Jr. (1403); John Brixy (1336) and Josh Holmes (1540).

New IFC president comes from Omega ranks His new position is a far cry from being the pledge class secretary – his first elected position. Steve Holtsclaw (Omega 1666) was recently elected Interfraternity Council’s president for 2007. “Much of my leadership preparation came from positions in the chapter including pledge class secretary, historian, vice archon and treasurer,” he said. “I knew I wanted to continue to serve the Greek community, but I never actually imagined myself being able to win the presidency.” While serving the Omega chapter as an officer, Holtsclaw also got involved in IFC early in his Purdue career. In 2006, he was on the Greek marketing team, was a lower board clerk and then last March joined the IFC Board of Directors. Growth and competition is nothing new to Holtsclaw. The accounting major, was a basketball teammate of Duke University forward Josh McRoberts. At Carmel (IN) High School, he was on the student newspaper staff, National Honor Society and won numerous academic and achievement awards. His mother, a Vanderbilt graduate, was Greek. His father was a Purdue grad and one of the chapter’s recent alumni initiates. Now, he is the chief spokesman for 42 fraternities with more than 2,500 members. “I applied for this position to help share with others what a great experience going Greek has been for me,” he said. “I was blessed to have a great pledge pop, Zach Isbell (Omega 1634, now vice archon), who has shown me how to get involved in the chapter, IFC and on campus and to help make the most out of the college experience.” His priorities for the position include: • Improving communication. This includes communicating what educational opportunities exist for chapters as well as opening communication gaps among chapters and
