Recently in Good of the Chapter Category

Brothers,On February 21, The Iota Pi chapter hosted this year's Province Meeting. Representatives from Omega (Northwestern University), Alpha Zeta (Beloit), Alpha Lambda (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and Epsilon Lambda (Ripon College) invaded Milwaukee to join us for a weekend of good times, brotherly activities and information. Brother Mike Greenberg (Illinois Wesleyan '82) spoke about recruitment, and brother Greg Harbaugh (Purdue '78) spoke on what it means to be a leader in Sigma Chi. Brother Brian Kay did most of the planning for the chapter and everyone agreed that the event was a huge success.

The Alpha Tau pledge class has been hard at work learning what it means to be a brother in Sigma Chi. The pledges seem to have a good grasp on concepts and have been on top of getting to know each of the brothers. All the brothers are anticipating initiation which is going to be held on April 4th. It would be great to see some Alumni at Initiation. For more information please contact Magister, Steve Austin.

In other news, brother Nick Rinaldi was recently elected to the position of Recruitment Chairman. The chapter is expecting big things out of Nick after the huge success of this semester's Rush.

As far as upcoming events, next Saturday, March 7, marks our annual Pig Roast. We are looking for a large alumni turnout for this event. Marquette is playing Syracuse in the last game before the post-season so get your tickets to the game then head on over to the house for some food. Later in the month, on March 21, Iota Pi will be having its formal. To RSVP, please contact our Formal Chair, Ryan Liskey.

Brothers,

I hope this month's Good of the Chapter update finds you all well.

Last month, The Iota Pi chapter focused on one thing: Recruitment. We hosted Sigma Chi's RUSH 365 workshop. Brother Rick Lewandowski (Ripon) led the brothers through a variety of exercises and examples that led to one of the most successful Recruitments to date. The workshop also served as a great brotherhood event and made each of us remember why we joined Sigma Chi in the first place.

The brothers of Iota Pi then took what Brother Rick taught us and sprung into action during Recruitment week. Events included our open house featuring Buffalo Wild Wings, poker night at the house, a trip to the Golf Dome, Steak and Cigar Night, and Brothers Austin Guenther (Marquette '07), Andy Plewa (Marquette '08) and Karl Dauenhauer (Marquette '09) helped out the chapter by talking to the recruitment class on Alumni Inspiration Night. Overall, the week was a success. Brother Ryan Liskey served as Recruitment Chairman for the chapter.

Our Recruitment week culminated with Bid Dinner at Yaffa and a few days later we pinned 14 pledges. Brother Paul Owens (Marquette '03) attended our annual pin night and took part in the activities.

Iota Pi's Annual Pig Roast is coming up on March 7th at the chapter house. We are hoping for a large showing from those Alumni living in Milwaukee.

Iota Pi's formal will be held on March 28th. For more information contact Ryan Liskey.
