\r\nHOUSE CORPORATION NEWS
J. Scot Jennings
Pi Sigma Association, Inc. President
I want to bring you up to date with what
has been happening with the House Corporation
recently. The projects we are currently working on
include: 1) finishing our window replacement
project with the help and generosity of Brother Jack
Holloway '50 (Thanks Jack!!); 2) getting a shower
door installed in the third floor bathroom; and 3)
replacing the front porch which is in desperate need
of repair. Our upcoming project for the spring so
far is the repainting of the outside of the Chapter
House which we are currently in the process of
getting bids for. If any Brother has any connections
for getting this type of work done affordably please
contact me at 682-6182.
The House Corporation is working with
the Pi SigmaEducational Foundation in establishing
both a Chapter House Endowment Fund (CHEF)
and a Chapter Educational Account (CEA) with the
International Fraternity. Opening Pi Sigma CHEF
and CEA accounts would guarantee the
continuation of the Pi Sigma Undergraduate
Scholarship Program and provide a cheap source of
financing for future Chapter House improvement
loans. Your donations to the accounts will become
a TAX DEDUCTION FOR YOU!!! (More details
to follow soon!) We are also desperately looking
for volunteers to come forward who are willing to
take the current board members seats when we step
down soon. Dave is going to be getting started
with his career in Harrisburg when he graduates
from Law School next December, Chris will be
leaving Pittsburgh when he graduates in May & I
am starting construction on my home in beautiful
Cranberry Township which is not leaving any "free" time for
the Fraternity house operations.
The undergraduate chapter was recently accused of
being involved in an alleged sexual assault which supposedly
occurred at a party in September.
were
handling the whole matter. They felt that someone had to be
punished because the local communityand society as a whole
has definitions of what is politically correct eventhough there
was NO PROOF that an assault occurred and significant
evidence pointing to the contrary. The undergraduates acted
responsibly in handling the alleged incident and have been
made painfully aware ofjust how responsible they have to be
at a social function in terms of control at a party and have
been reminded about the importance of adhering to the
Fraternity's RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY!! We recently
had several meetings with the University about their
proposed sanctions against our Chapter (one year probation
and mandatory community service) and we tried to show
them the error of their ways since they violated our rights
under Constitutional Due Process and the University Code of
Conduct by denying us a hearing and refiasing to question our
witnesses. I am confident that the truth will be made known
and our good name restored. I will keep you informed of any
further developments as they arise. Special thanks to Section
Chief Eric Theis and the entire staff at International
Headquarters for their active support of the Chapter in this
matter.
I look forward to seeing you all at the Pig Dinner
and as always I am mighty proud to be a 3rd generation
Brother of the Pi Sigma Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta.
The Pi Sigma Association will be
sending invitations to all brothers in
January. We expect to see you all
there!!!
No Brothers
involved in the alleged incident but the campus and local
media severely defamed our reputation. So much for being
innocent until proven guilty. The most ridiculous part of this
whole incident is the ineptness of the University officials in
\r\nS$ TREASURER'S REPORT $$
DAVID W. FORT]
Pi Sigma Association, Inc. Treasurer
Greetings from Pittsburgh! Thanks to the
generous support of our graduates 1994 was another
successful year for Pi Sigma. Graduates donated over
$13,000 and enabled Pi Sigma to remodel the
bathrooms and replace the ancient first floor windows.
The Fiji Plaqueprogram fell somewhat short of its goal
of 100 orders but we are confident that we will receive
enough additional orders to finance the painting of the
Chapter House this Spring.
As you probably have noticed our fund raising
efforts have been fairly aggressive over the past few
years but you may not be aware why this is necessaty.
Almost four years ago the Chapter House had
deteriorated to a dangerous degree. The roof and
foundation leaked, the electrical system was a hazard
and the plumbing was atrocious. The city building
inspector threatened to shut us down unless significant
renovations were made. Furthermore, we had a large
balloon mortgage looming on the horizon and no
conceivable manner in which to pay it off. Graduate
donations were minimal as a result of poor
communication and solicitation efforts. In addition.
Brothers no longer desired to live in the House due to
its deplorable condition and occupancy was less than 70
percent. The future of Phi Gamma Delta at Pitt did not
look bright.
Drastic actions were needed to save our
chapter and the previous House Corporation Board
complete these projects by December of 1995. Please be
assured that all donations are prudently spent as we seek
multiple bids for every project and have had Brothers
willing to do much of the work at or below their cost.
Furthermore my "buy an extra blanket" heat savings
program coupled with our new dual front door system
and new windows should cut our heating bills of
$1200/month in half.
The goal of the current House Corporation
Board is to have all necessary repairs completed by next
December so that we may "hand over" management of
Pi Sigma to our successors in excellent financial and
physical condition. The only problem is that no one has
approached us about taking over our positions and we
are running out of time. Chris is leaving the state in
May and 1 am leaving in December. Scooter is also
looking for a replacement after 10 years of dedicated
service as he is preparing to build a house and start a
family (5th generation Fiji's?). Although the House
Corporation is not difficult to run, it can not nm itself
and leaving it in control of the undergraduates would l)e
disastrous.
Board positions do not require a significant
amount of time and only require a love for your chapter
and a little bit of business sense. Board member duties
include newsletter production, rent billing and
collection (very simple due to the term rent up front
system we introduced last year). Pig Dinner &
Homecoming planning, bill paying, and one short
meeting per month. A Board of four Brothers can
typically expect to spend no more than 5 hours each per
month on Fraternity matters. The internal satisfaction
responded by developing the Pi Sigma "5 year plan."
The plan was an ambitious effortto essentially renovate of helping the Chapter far outweighs the minimal
the entire House piecemeal overa fiveyear period. The inconvenience ofa couple ofvolunteer hours per month.
scarypart was that financing for the renovations would I would do it forever if I wasn't leaving the area.
House Corporation meetings are the first
come solely from graduate donations which at that
Wednesday
of each month at 8:00 P.M. at the Chapter
point were virtually nonexistent. Improving graduate
House.
Please
join us and get reacquainted with Fiji communications became the key to success and Pi
Sigma created a database of Pitt Fiji's and took over
publication responsibilities for the Panther Fiji. The
plan has been strictly adhered to and has been more
successful than ever imagined thanks to loyal support
from our graduates. We have grossed over $50,000 in
donations from 250 different Brothers (many of them
donating multiple times) over the past four years and
the
House
has
been
transformed
from
near
condemnation to a place om Brothers can safely and
comfortably live. We now have a waiting list for
housing and have collected 100% of the rent over the
past four years. This is the last year of the plan and
graduatedonations are still greatly needed to ensure its
comnletion
There are oniv a few maior nrniecfs left tn
you'll be glad you did.
\r\ntell you what I need help doing
before I leave this summer.

was for years, Pitt was a large campus
ofa new Chancellor. I have also seen
when I arrived.
Pitt buy up much of Oakland and
Shadyside and have seen the amazing
designs for the future Pitt has
planned for these areas, including
high for we are a breed apart, we
bleed purple. We have learned first
hand that justice is not always blind
and the truth doesn't always come
out. The fact that Pitt, supposedly a
bastion of free thought and justice,
would unjustly persecute Fiji in the
name of political correctness and
cowardice is a fact I will never forget
or forgive.
Pitt was different back then.
The only means of
transportation around campus was
the shuttle.
The shuttle system
consisted of a single bus that ran a
constant loop around campus that
only at night would dare to go as far
as the end of Wallingford Street.
Today Pitt has added a multitude of
busses and shuttles that will take you
to Shadyside, Squirrel Hill, a
multitude of parking facilities and of
course the standard campus loops. In
total the shuttle system probably
consists of about
10 busses
and
shuttles on constant runs.
Also when I arrived, Pitt had
some computers in locations around
campus. The terminals were slow and
you had to receive a start up disk
from a lab technician (usually after
waiting some time for an open
terminal) to start up the systems.
Now
Pitt
has
several
hundred
terminals at quite a few locations. All
the terminals are connected to Pitt's
super-computer and log in and out
automatically via a user password.
IPitt's on-line services are very
Iextensive and include free access to
jthe Internet (for the less user-ffiendly,
mass renovations and much new
building.
It would seem that Pitt is on
the right track and I should have a
good feeling leaving here and look
back on my alma mater with pride.
This is an assumption that is all too
wrong. The biggest mistake that Pitt
has made in my time here is to cross
the Phi Gams. In the recent year Fiji
has been the victim ofa sorry attempt
by the University to appease some
token campus organizations through
a completely unfair, politically
correct prosecution. A coed claimed
to have been sexually harassed at the
house during a social event. Certain
campus groups and the University
itself immediately condemned Fiji
despite the fact that there was no
proof of the allegations and much
proof against
them.
The
Interfratemity Council investigation
found no evidence of wrongdoing of
any kind. All aspects of the social;
basketball has endured a constant
struggle to escape mediocrity.
However, with it's new coaching staff
headed by Ralph Willard, Pitt Hoops
received from me.
I do however
intend to keep as careful an eye on the
Fraternity and look forward to
writing many letters and many
checks. As a departing senior I would
also like to remind you graduates that
not only are donations of the wallet

thought donations are just as
valuable. I know all of you have fond

\r\nTHE
Greetings from Pi Sigma. I wanted to take this opportunity to update you on some of the recent
developments here at the House. Probably thebest news of theterm is the strength of ourcurrent pledge class. We
have twelve pledges, all ofwhich are showing definite signs ofstrong leadership capabilities. Several ofthem have
already approached me about beinginvolved in the House next term.
In addition to our newsworthy pledge class, we recently had Doug Seigel, an active brother, electedas the
new Interfraternity Council President. I am also pleased to report the brotherhood scholarship ranking rose again
for the third consecutive semester.
For the first time in quite a few years, we have a realistic opportunity of
winning Greek Week. We anxiously anticipate Greek Sing this year as we were fortunate enough to be paired up
with the sisters of Kappa Kappa Gamma.
As well as having some news for you, I also have a couple ofannouncements. First and foremost, I hope
to see you all at this year's Pig Dinner. Although we don't have a definite date set, we will keep you informed.
Second, after the lapse in the operation of the House phone, I am happy to say it is up and running once again.
However the number has changed to (412) 682-9114. Please feel free to call anytime day or night.
Sports has been ahigh point this year. We made the playoffs in every sport including soccer and football.
We are currently undefeated in vollyball and have crushed every team we have played thus far. We look fonvard
to wrestling swimming and basketball next term and bringing the coveted All Sports Trophy back to Fiji.
The Fraternity has teamed up with the Marine Corps in conducting the Oakland Toys for Tots campaign.
We collected several hundred dollars in cash donations and many toys. The event was a great success and one that
1hope becomes aFiji tradition. Helping those less fortunate than ourselves made us realize how lucky we are.
Officer elections were held in late November and the following Brothers were elected to the Board.
President - Chris Nestor '96* Treasurer - Andy Martin '97; Corresponding Secretaiy - Chris Gilligan '96; Recording
Secretary - Keith Campagna '97; Historian - Sied Nazif'97. The Brotherhood is looking forward to an amazing
vear under thisyoung and highiy motivated Board.

The most important announcement is that we have had avacancy in our Purple Legionnaire position for
quite some time now and urgently need areplacement. I have approached acouple of recent graduates about the
position however Icouldn't find anybody interested. If you have any interest in the position, please contact either
myself at 687-8351 or Dave Forti at 621-3078. Please help us in our quest to fill this position. Finally, ifyou can
afford the time I would like to encourage you to become active within the House again. You do not have to take
on a formal position like Purple Legionnaire, we can always use help no matter how much or how little. As the
new semester approaches, the undergraduates need your insight and guidance to carry on the fine tradition of
e.xcellence we have established here at Pitt.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!
From The Pi Sigma Association
\r\nFall Fiji Pledge Class Storms
Pi Sigma Chapter
Jerry Klayman
Pledge
During Rush, we came to the Fiji house for many different reasons. Some ofus came to party. Some of
us came because of the fine reputation that Fiji had on campus. And some of us came for reasons thatwe did not
know.
We were a group of diverse kids with one common goal: to become a Brother of Phi Gamma Delta. We
soon realized thatwe were going to need each other to accomplish ourgoal.
Since that time in September, many things have happened to our pledge class. Our pledge trip to The
Ohio State University was the most fun event of the term. The things that we did on that trip wll never be
forgotten. The memories will last a lifetime.
For our fundraising event, we sold tee shirts that our pledge educator, Pete O'Hara '97 printed for us.
Since this article is not going to be seen by any Brothers until Delta Week is over, it is safe to say that the shirts
were really ugly and it was like pulling teeth to get people to buy them. By the time this article isprinted, all ofthe
hideous tee shirts will however have been sold.
As far as involvement inthe University goes, everyone inthe pledge class isa member ofthe University's
Roterac Club, the college level Rotary Club. For our philanthropy project, we became members of the Make A
Wish Foundation. We have also helped our neighbors by taking out their trash on trash days and with the removal
of their leaves in the fall.
With the support ofour pledge brothers and the Brotherhood, many pledges have accomplished great feats
this term. Pledge brother Adam Scherzer tried out for the basketball team. Although he came up a little short, his
attempt was noble. Pledge brothers Steven Baluta and Marine pledge Pete Reitmeyer had their hockey dreams
come true. Both are members of the Pitt team. I myself am a member of the Governmental Relations Committee
for the Student Government Board. I am also a writer for The Pitt News.
As a pledge class, we have learned many things. The most important ideas thatthe Brothers stressed were
the ideas ofrespect, unity, secrecy, and hospitality. I feel the most important idea is teamwork. You can get a lot
more done with twelve people than youcan with one.
In the beginning ofthe term ifsomeone would have asked us what the Fiji House was, we might have said
a physical structure on Wallingford Street. Ifwe were asked that same question today, our response would be a
group of men brought together by the common bond of Brotherhood.
In conclusion, the fall pledge class of '94 would like to inform the brotherhood that we are anxiously
awaiting the start ofDelta Week. We are confident that our pledge class will be remembered as one ofthe best
ever!

\r\nPIANO BENEFACTOR NEEDED,
Much has changed at 4725 Wallingford over the years but
the Chapter has always had a working piano. The baby grand piano
currently in the entry room has been neglected over the years and is
badly in need of repair. While the body of the piano is in good shape
the internal workings have deteriorated to a point where the piano is no
longer playable. This will have a negative effectof our long dominance
of Greek Sing and must be corrected as soon as possible. We have had
several estimates made and can have the piano repaired for
approximately $500. Unfortunately, due to a variety of more pressing
needs, the Pi Sigma Association can not afford to complete the repairs
at this time. We are therefore seeking a Brother, or a pledgeclass, or
group of Brothers willing to finance this important project. The
financier(s) will be immortalized on a brass plaqueaffixed to the piano
bearing his name and year of graduation, ff anyone is interested or
needs further information such as specific Brothers' addresses pleasecontactthe P.O. Box.
FIJI PLAQUE DONATORS,
The following Brothers responded to our "Eyesore" flyer and each donated at least $100 to be put
towards re-painting the ChapterHouse this Spring (hopefully in time for Pig Dinner). The Brothers will each
receive a Fiji Plaque inscribed with the Fraternity Crest, their name and year of graduation. TheseBrothers will
receive their Plaques via UPS in several weeks. We fell somewhat short of our goal of 100 Plaque sales but are
confident that many of our loyal Brothers will ordera Fiji Plaque today and enable us to reach our goal and
complete the last of the necessary House repairs. Thanks again to the Brothers who ordered Plaques and the
manyBrothers who sent donations to paint the House - you have made it possible to correct the "Eyesore of
Wallingford Street" and restore the House to its rightful glory.

FIJI ELECTED IFC PRESIDENT
The Fiji torch of campus dominance was passed once again this November to Doug Seigal 95. Seigal
won the Inter-Fraternity Council's presidential race by alandslide margin over abrother of Pi Lamda Phi. Seigal
is the first Fiji IFC President since Greg Kunkle '86 held the position in 1985.
Seigal commented that "I owe alot of credit to my Big Brother, Reid Sadler '92. When Iwas pledging,
Reid was the Greek Week Overall Chairman. He taught me many things, the most important being the
importance to the Chapter of having Fiji's involved in campus leadership positions." Seigal also thanked his
Pledge Educator, David W. Forti '92, for enabling him to realize his potential and encouraging him to use it.
Seigal has an outstanding leadership record. He was the Chief Justice ofthe IFC Judicial Board in 1992.
He has followed in the leadership footsteps ofother recent Fijis such as Student Government Board President
Brent Saunders'92, Allocations ChairmanHenry Charlton '92, and Student Government Board members Tony
Moody '95, August Imholtz '94, and Daniel Leiehter '93. Matthew Friedman '94, has also been extremely active
and is currently the Vice-President of Administration for the Inter-Fraternity Council.
"Fiji's were always in control ofthis campus. I amjustcarrying on the tradition. I want the Greeks at this
University to finally getthe respect thatthey deserve" said Seigal.
Fiji pledge Jerry Klayman '98 is also following in the footsteps of these great Fiji leaders. He is currently
a member of the Governmental Relations Committee for the Student Government Board. Next fall, with the help
and guidance of hisFiji Brothers, Klayman will runfor the Student Government Board.
