BROTHERLY BONDS PHI THETA PI'S NATIONAL CONVENTION

From May 10 to May 14, the Phi Theta Pi professional fraternity and honorary society hosted its annual National Convention in Marietta, Ohio. Brothers from Tiffin University's chapter and others across the country, as well as significant others and friends participated in the event. The group stayed in the historic Lafayette Hotel, located along the Ohio River in downtown Marietta.

While in Marietta, brothers and company enjoyed a paddleboat ride with breakfast and lunch served onboard, as well as a stop at the famous Blennerhassett Island in West Virginia - to name a few of several outings.

The Saturday awards banquet was attended by over 60 members and guests. Scholarships were distributed to Luke Weise and Tristen Meyers of the Delta Beta chapter. The Lifetime Achievement Award was presented to Ron Voden of Las Vegas, Nevada, Ralph Dunn of Richmond, Virginia and Joe Wood of Columbus. Additionally, the A.J. Harris Award was also given to Ralph Dunn.

A special tea time and luncheon was held in honor of the brothers' spouses and guests who, in the members’ own words, provided tremendous help with the planning of the convention. It was held at The Castle, an historic home in Marietta.
