THEPI ~~r ~ CRUST ~I PUBLISHED BY PI CHAPTER OF PHI GAMMA DELTA, ALLEGHENY COLLEGE 454 North Main Street Meadville, Pennsylvania 16335 - - - - - - PRESIDENT'S REPORT Brothers, It gives me great pleasure to bring you up to date on the status of your chapter here at Allegheny College. The reorganization of Pi Chapter of PHI GAMMA DELTA has begun! A chapter retreat was held on February 9, 1985, at the David Mead Inn in Meadville, Pennsylvania. This gathering was helpful in defining and setting Pi Chapter's goals for the coming year. The retreat was attended by the following: Eugene D. "Buddy" Cote, Director of Chapter Services; Robert W. Niebaum, Chief of Section 13; Robert Stanton, Chairman of Pi Chapter's Education Fund; The Board of Trustees of Pi Chapter; Numerous concerned graduate brothers; Undergraduate brothers and pledges of Pi Chapter. * * * * be trained in alcohol awareness. They in turn will educate the fraternity through their training. This group will also be responsible for providing seminars and/ or speakers from a national or local organization on alcohol abuse and awareness. Through this committee and the adoption of a new alcohol policy, we hope to avoid any alcohol-related incidents in our future. Continued on Following Page * * At the retreat the following issues were discussed: 1. Public Relations - With campus and community. 2. Alcohol - Chapter's approach to its use and abuse. 3. Rush - Goals and procedure. 4. Pledge Education - Re-evaluation of current program. In addition to this, new officers were elected, and are as follows: President - VINCENT J. CRISWELL '86, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Treasurer - DONALD TRACE '86, Saegertown, Pennsylvania. Assistant Treasurer - CHRISTOPHER MANDELLA '87, North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Corresponding Secretary - MARK BONESS! '86, Washington, Pennsylvania. Historian - JOHN SUSNAK '86, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The new officers and the entire chapter will operate under the guidance of our new Purple Legionnaire Ben Miceli. We are now in the process of formulating policies for each of the above issues. All policies will inevitably be installed into the fraternities by laws and/ or used as guidelines in the chapter affairs. One of our newest developments so far is an "alcohol task force." This committee will be comprised of underg raduates who will TRUSTEE'S REPORT Dear Brothers, Pi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta is up and running. The process of evaluation and restructuring of the Chapter was less painful than any of us had anticipated. In fact, we have found the process to be a pleasant one. This is due to the total cooperation given us by the undergraduates. main thrust was goal setting and election of officers. The Chapter now has goals for the Year and a super group ot leaders. The weekend was an unquestioned success. As corny as it may sound, the only regret was that all Pi Chapter Graduates could not have shared the experience with us. We are working together with the active brothers, the college administration, the house corporation, and the graduate brothers. It is our opinion that Pi Chapter really has to act together and is moving ahead in an outstanding fashion. We hope, and quite frankly, expect that September 1985 will bring a celebration of reopening a refurbished house for our 125th anniversary. Of course, you will all be welcome. Perge Fraternally yours, The Board of Trustees TREASURER'S REPORT Dear Brothers, Each undergraduate was asked to submit a written response to questions and go through an interview. This permitted us to learn about the past activities of the Chapter and evaluate each undergraduate. Five Brothers elected not to go through the process, and one Brother was kept on inactive status by us. We did not remove any undergraduate from the Chapter as a result of the "incident" during Fiji Island. It has been reported to us that the College has halted its investigation of the Fiji Island "incident" with no formal report and no individual punishment. We have an excellent group of undergraduates as demonstrated during our retreat weekend of February 9th and 10th. The facilitator for the weekend was Buddy Cote of the National. Also attending that retreat were Chuck Reimer and members of the House Corporation, Bob Stanton of the Educational Foundation, Warren Keck III, Chairman of the newly established Board of Chapter Advisors, the Trustees, ten other Graduate Brothers, and Bob Niebaum, The Once again brothers, Pi Chapter is still financially sound. Because of our current status, we have not had the funds coming into our accounts but this has not posed a problem as of yet. Presently, the treasurer of the trustees Lou Phillips, has the books and is performing all financial transactions that have to be taken care of for Pi Chapter. I will have received the books by the time this article is read, and will take over the responsibilities of my office as treasurer. At the present time, my position has been similar to that of a vice president. Vince and I, as well as the rest of the cabinet, have been working hard to get Pi Chapter back on its feet. On the weekend of February 23, the whole cabinet traveled to Ohio State for our annual regional fraternity meeting. As could be expected, we gathered a lot of good information and ideas that will be very beneficial for Pi Chapter. Let's hope we can keep moving forward in the right direction. Perge Fraternally yours, Don Trace Treasurer -----------------------------------------1 \r\nFUND RAISING AND PUBLIC SERVICE Dear Brothers, In accordance with the multiple activities of Pi Chapter to regain our status as a highly respected and top quality fraternity in the eyes of our peers, the Fund Raising and Public Service Committee has been hard at work. We realize that a favorable public image, both on campus and in the Meadville community, is crucial to our successful comeback. A useful and productive method to attain this image is through aiding worthy charities and services in the Meadville area. At the present time, several charities and organizations are being contemplated for our community projects. We plan not only a rund raiser, but service-related projects as well. The Salvation Army, United Cerebral Palsy, and the March of Dimes are all worthy charities that are under serious consideration. Additionally, the Special Olympics Organization is an inviting option both for our helping hands at the Olympics and in raising money to make the Olympics a success. President's R e p o r t , - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Continued ... As for pledge education, our new program provides great opportunities for brothers and pledges to grow together. The emphasis is on scholarship, service, and interaction with the brothers. Pledges are instructed in the great tradition of our fraternity as well as the history of our own chapter. The committee on pledge education is working hard to secure a great program that will teach the pledges to become contributing brothers. A new rush committee has also been constructed. This committee is developing ways to find freshmen who will bring admirable qualities into our fraternity. We will be looking for young men with characteristics such as leadership, academic excellence, and enthusiasm. Two other committees, public relations and community service, have also been established. The public relations committee will focus on improving campus as well as community relations. The community service committee is responsible for Pi Chapter's philanthropic events. Finally, a different type of service is strongly being considered - The Friends The committees which have been set up Program of Crawford County.

The best way to answer this is to take a short glance at the past and Fraternally yours, see how we all began. John Swick In 1776, students at the college of William Chairman Fund Raising and and Mary met to form Phi Beta Kappa, the Perge Public Service Committee earliest American College Fraternity. These students were motivated by the commonly stated need for belonging. They sought to inspire scholarship and emulate high purpose. They learned from each other by taking part in an unconstrained association, the college fraternity. Pig Dinner, for the first year - will be held off campus in Pittsburgh, on May 4th. We hope we can attract a large group of graduates. There is a lot of information to share and it should be a great weekend. Mark it on your calendar and plan to attend. A formal invitation will arrive shortly. Perge This is where we are today. Each of us is taking part in a voluntary association. Colleges that have made the decision to encourage fraternities as an alternative to leadership training and allowing man to learn to live with man have alleged the values which come from the individual students as well as the institution. This is why we are working. Our chapter house is closed but the fraternity and spirit of brotherhood lives. The rewards our fraternity can give are abundant. Our fraternity can hearten the purposes and goals of Allegheny College. More importantly, however, each of us carries within ourselves our friendship which is the greatest gift our fraternity has to offer.

The plans for this celebration are in their beginning stages. Our anniversary festival will be held during a home football weekend in the fall. This turnout promises to be the largest ever. Information regarding this affair will be published at a later date. .As undergraduate chairman, it is my plea to you to help us make this a most memorable event. Brothers, if you are interested in helping organize this celebration, please contact me at the following address: In Phase II we will extend invitations to all faculty members to either a) have individual meetings at the campus grill, orb) have lunch with each separate department in the school cafeteria. At thismeetingwewillcontinue building our relationship with the faculty. Overall, our goal is to improve relations 100% in all of the departments. Although the plan has not yet been tested, we feel that with full support of the brotherhood, it should be a success. Perge Fraternally yours, Stephen P. Gavatorta '85 Christopher Mandella P.O.

Perge Fraternally yours, Christoph er Mandella FACULTY RELATIONS Dear Brothers, In an effort to improve our relationship with the faculty, the brothers of Pi Chapter have formed a faculty relations committee to attack the issue. By enhancing our relationship with the faculty, we should .improve our overall status here at Allegheny College. The committee came up with three phases we should enter in improving our status with the faculty. In Phase I each brother will meet informally with at least three members of the faculty. The purpose of the meeting is to receive suggestions concerning the improvement of Pi Chapter in the eyes of the faculty. With these reports we can then determine which faculty members need a change of heart concerning Pi Chapter. PLEDGE EDUCATION Dear Brothers, The Pledge Education Committee of Pi Chapter has been created to structure a pledge program that will emphasize scholarship and interaction amongst the brothers. The committee members are concerned people - dedicated to creating a program that will benefit both the pledges and the brothers. We intend to see that our pledge program offers the pledge every opportunity possible in the pursuit of academic excellence at Allegheny College. It is our belief that the fraternity can be the foundation of successful, achievementoriented scholarship, and some of our initial ideas reflect this: ( 1) Set up tutors within the house so that the pledge has some place to tum, at any time, when he is in need of help; ( 2) Develop a stronger big brother program so that the pledge has someone to see when he is in need of guidance; (3) Keeping a close watch on every pledge's grades so that no one is allowed to slip. We are interested in any suggestions that the graduate brothers might have. Please make them out to : John Evans Allegheny College Box 761 Meadville, PA 16335 HISTORIAN'S REPORT Dear Brothers, History is being made at Pi Chapter. Our recent retreat was a great event in that we got a lot of old and new brothers together to have an informal discussion of our ideals and goals for the fraternity. It was a profitable day for Pi Chapter. A lot of our old problems were discussed and initial planning was done to address these. Now it is up to us to keep the progress moving. All the brothers are getting involved in the rebuilding of our Chapter. Being a member of the new cabinet, I believe we have a good group with the experience our Treasurer and President have from last year's officers slate. The future of Pi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta is in the current brothers' hands and I feel we can face the challenge . All we need from you is the support and encouragement to get through this difficult period. Perge Fraternally yours, John J. Susnak Chapter Historian We are dedicated to building an academically sound pledge class which knows and respects the ideal of "togetherness ." Your help in this cause is appreciated. Perge Fraternally yours, John Evans '8 6 PURPLE LEGIONNAIRE The first meeting of the undergraduatePi Chapter-Allegheny College was held in a "basement room " of the Pellitier Library. Contrary to my expectations, the discussion was positive and the brothers were determined to overcome the problems theywere confronted with. The new slate of officers had a firm grasp of their job; and the cooperation of the brothers gave definite indication that this year will be one which undergraduate and graduate brothers will take special pride in being a Fiji of Pi Chapter at Allegheny.

However, it was a season highlighted by some fine individual Phi Garn efforts. These efforts resulted in six Pi Chapter brothers attaining All-Conference honors. Highlighting Allegheny's premier season in the North Coast .Athletic Conference was a first team all-conference performance by Robert Fraser '85. Brother Bob finished an outstanding career at Allegheny by zeroing in on 108 tackled opponents to garner a first team spot on the All-Conference list for the third time in his career. Brother Marc Calderone ·85 once again led Allegheny in interceptions with four. Marc's savvy style of play also enabled him to return these pilfered passes for over 90 yards and one touchdown, thus placing him 7th on Allegheny's offense in yards gained. Marc is also a two-year letterman on Allegheny's tennis squad. Calderone Fraser Complementing ·Robert on defense was Brother Chris Mandella '87. Chris led the Gators in both solos and assists to finish as the leading Gator tackler. Brother Mandella's hard-nosed and intensive play earned him an All-Conference mention at the linebacker position. Garnering All-Conference honors for the Gators on offense were Brothers Tom Lacey '86, Ron Olson '86, and Mark Bonessi '86. These three brothers not only enjoy rooming together, they enjoy performing on the gridiron together as well. Lacey at guard, Olson at tackle, and Bonessi at tight-end form the right side of Allegheny's offensive line. Tom is complemented by the strength of Ron Olson. Ronnie has become one of the strongest players on the team through a tough off-season weight training program. Brother Olson also cites his recent acquisition of a microwave oven as an indication of his continued dedication to the Gator Football program. Olson Brother Mark Bonessi ·86 lends agility to this unit as he led all Gator receivers in 1.984 with 17 grabs for 261 yards and two touchdowns. He is also able to block well as he was named All-Conference in the new NCAC. Brothers Olson, Lacey, and Bonessi function well as a unit despite their contrasting styles of play. Brother Lacey '86 joined the tandem of Olson and Bonessi in August as a converted fullback. His aggressive and steady style of play earned Tom the nickname "the Hammer" as well as an AllConference mention. Mandella Lacey Olson Takes Man Out! 4----------------------------------------- \r\n- - - - - - - P l CHAPTER S P O R T S - - - - - - 1984 was a transiti on year at Allegheny as the Gators joined the newly-formed NCAC. Allegheny also instituted a virtually all-new coaching staff this past fall . Leading the Gators in 1985 will be newly-appointed Tri-Captains Vince Criswell '86, Mike Fisher '86, and Don Trace '86, all brothers at Pi Chapter. Other top returners for the Gators include kick return specialist Mark Lamendola '86 and defensive lineman Lex Winans '87. Mark Lamendola is also a talented receiver as he hauled in fifteen passes for over 200 yards and two touchdowns while Brother Winans is an aggressive, gutsy player at the nose guard position. TRI-CAPTAINS, 1985 SEASON Gator line Opens Hole! Criswell Fisher Trace Sports, continued ... Phi Garn INTRAMURALS WRESTLING Up Close and Personal with Dan Goodrum ... Wrestling is one of Allegheny's lesser publicized intercollegiate sports despite enjoying some highly successful seasons in the last five years. This relative anonymity contributes to the difficulties facing a Gator wrestler. One wrestler who trains week in and week out without regret is Dan Goodrum '86. Brother Goodrum says he enjoys the competition and the chance to become better everyday. Dan also feels that the wrestling season motivates himself to perform better academically. Dan posted a 16-13-2 record for the Gators in 1985 and barely missed qualifying for the National Tournament, . placing 6th at the Eastern regional tournament. Although Dan only racked up a .548 winning percentage at 150- 158 lbs., most of his losses came at 158 where he was asked to help the injuryriddled weight class of 158. Pi Chapter was able to field two intramural play football teams this past fall . The Outlaws, consisting of Jay Clayton '85, As Brother Goodrum pointed out, "The most difficult point in my season was wrestling a heavier weight class than I usually compete in." Paskey '85, Steve Gavatorta '85, Mike Mutkis '85, Ron Mumbray '85, and Ron Repaskey '85, came away as the undefeated intramural champs. Tom Piero '85, Josh Walters '85, Nate When asked why he did it, Dan was quick to point out, "I did it for the benefit of the team." Dan's most rewarding moment came against the Gators most hated opponent: Thiel College. Wrestling in front of an unusually large crowd, Dan pinned his highly-rated opponent in a key bout. When asked to describe how he felt, Dan replied with a hint of satisfaction as he simply said, "It felt great." Dan's goals for 1986 include qualifying for nationals and doing well in school. "I don't want to sacrifice my academics." Dan Goodrum . . . a winner. Perge John Null '86 The Outlaws downed Bankey's Flyers in the season finale. The Purple Rebels bowed out of the playoffs suffering their only loss to the Outlaws. The Purple Rebels consisted of Brothers Steve Santamaria '86, John Evans '86, Matt Diandreth '85, Dale Pugh '86, and Jordie Keck '86. -------------------------------------5 \r\nGRADUATE NEWS----------------- Dear Brothers: Writing the Graduate News section of the Pi Crust has always been one of the more pleasant jobs associated with the Pi Crust. Words alone can not describe the feelings I have as I read the biographical information returned to me after each edition of the Pi Crust. Each questionnaire returned to me is a testimony to the strength of Pi Chapter and Phi Gamma Delta. Each questionnaire is a story in itself. However, each shares the theme of success in life. It makes an undergraduate proud to see such successes that still remember their years at Allegheny and the friends they made at Pi Chapter. The quote, " ... not for college days alone," is something every pledge learns, but your letters and support put meaning behind the words. For this I thank you and entreat you to continue.
