Letter from the Archon
Tech Times Issue 00 Month Year
In our first newsletter, I would like to give our alumni an insight on what Zeta Theta has accomplished in our brief time at the University of Texas. In the fall semester expansion consultants, Jake Henderson and Kyle Robinson, came to our campus to re-colonize Zeta Theta. In the first semester, we set up the governing documents for our fraternity and held three small brotherhood events. During the winter break, five members had the opportunity to attend the Midyear leadership conference in St. Louis, Missouri. We had the opportunity to meet brothers across the nation and receive insight on how to run our chapter. The road trip was a brotherhood experience we will never forget. This semester we held our first mixer. Our “Yacht Club” party with Zeta Tau Alpha was a real big success. A couple of weeks ago, three of our brothers attended PUSH Camp at Down Home Ranch in Elgin, Texas. We built a fence and installed six stalls in a barn. It was an experience of a lifetime.
The best aspect of being a part of Zeta Theta is we control our own destiny. Our goal is to be outstanding men of CLASS and become the best fraternity on campus. The goals we have set are high and we have a lot of work ahead, but we are looking forward to working hard to accomplish our goals. I would like to encourage you to visit our website, texaspikapp.org. I would also like to invite all alumni to join our orgsync.com group. We have set up a member section for our alumni to help you stay connected. We are open to any words of wisdom and encouragement our alumni may send us. We appreciate your interest in and continuing support to Zeta Theta. We have positions open of the board of alumni directors, so if you are interested, please let me know. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at stevenk.lightsey@mail.utexas.edu.
In Pi Kappa Phi, Kyle Lightsey

We would like to encourage all alumni to attend our parent weekend Bar-B-Que. This event was designed to be a joint event with parents, brothers, and alumni in attendance. As of now we have 40 people expected to be in attendance. Your company for this event would be wonderful and all of the brothers are very excited to begin a relationship with all Pi Kapp Alumni. The event is taking place at Zilker Park in the Rock Garden area on Saturday April 5th between the hours of 11:30am and 3:00pm. Zilker Park is very large and directions to the Rock Garden area can be found on the Austin Parks and recreation website. Please RSVP by calling 817-929-2884 and ask for Ryan. We just need to know around how many people will be attending so that we buy the appropriate amount of food. Don’t hesitate to call if you have any questions.
Historian’s Report As our first newsletter goes out as historian I would like to tell you all how excited I am to be a part of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. When I was presented with the opportunity to be a part of this organization I knew that I wanted to take part in a leadership position if possible. I am very excited to plan future alumni events and I hope that as many of you as possible will attend the Bar-B-Que on April 5th so that we can have that initial contact between all the brothers and alumni. Pi Kappa Phi has already been such a huge part of my college experience and I hope that all of you will be able to get involved with us in some way. The brothers are very excited to meet and get to know alumni and I look forward to many good times in the future. Fraternally, Ryan Mullins
