Pantheri »^^rints ® "a) G (0 E E U Pi Sigma Chapter at^he lie Uhfversity of Pittsburgh Chapter President :KTiC, LOOKING FORWARD TO 1986! With the initiation of 13 new brothers on January 6, 1986, Pi Sigma has wrapped up an excellent year. 1985 saw a strong showing of Phi Gamma Delta within the fraternity system. Fiji's leaders were present among the inter-fraternity council, student government, and honorary societies. A new scholarship awareness has boosted the house's overall QPA and we were a stiff competition for the other fraternities in the area of rush. A recent move by 8 of Pitt's fraternities to university housing has not im pinged on our rush efforts and I believe that we have con tinually taken the best quality pledge classes. I look forward to 1986! The newly elected board is very competent and I am assured that they will succeed in stri ving for excellence. The ball is rolling for Pi Sigma. To add to its momentum, though, we need increased graduate involvement. A working Board of Chapter Advisors is one goal that should be met. Any graduate interested should contact either Bruce Monsour, the 1986 president, or the Graduatej Holis^flHl^Corporation U / iSbO Dear Brothers, i! f yAR0 4 IS; I'm happy to announce that the Pi Sigma Association is alive and well and resides at the University of Pittsburgh! You can find us at the Fraternity House on the first Wednesday of each month where we meet at 7:30 p.m. We graduate brothers continue to meet monthly not only to take care of the general operations of the House, but also to renew past friendships and foster new friendships. As we begin 1986, there are several new projects to be under taken and we welcome your help with them. New faces and ideas are essential to keep our group vital and current. Even ifyou can't come every month, come when you can. Our next meeting will be held Wednesday, February 12th (Due to scheduling difficulties it cannot be held the first Wednesday) at 7:30 p.m. — Hope to see you then! Graduate Relations Chairman.

Franco Harris, along with 15 anxious runners, participated in this year's run. Penn State Fiji's ran the game ball Vi way from Rush Penn State to Pitt, and that's when our team took over. Running in treacherous, stormy conditions didn't seem to bother these dedicated runners, who arrived at Pitt Stadium in time to deliver the game ball to Foge Fazio. We salute this year's runners, who raised approximately $1,500 for a local charity. This term we are taking full advantage of a restructured rush implemented by IPG. Now the emphasis on alcohol is less and is more on attracting men who are seriously endeavoring to attain their future goals. Pi Sigma welcomes this opportunity as an advantage to recruiting men that will strive to maintain our 69 years of ideals and 1986 Executive Board Bruce Monsour — President Mike McCormick — Treasurer Ken Kumer — Recording Secrecary Glenn Cooper — Corresponding Secretary Dave Herald — Historian It is Winter Rush right now and things look very good.
