On 19th of April, the pledges of the Theta Pi chapter hosted their pledge project, WALK AGAINST CANCER. Since we lost one of our brothers by leukemia last year, our chapter has set its theme “Against Cancer” and donated all the money we raised to a cancer foundation. Our pledges took over the theme and came up with a great idea, walk against cancer. They set up a one mile course and asked people to walk with them, showing their fights against cancer. A large number of people showed their interests and walked with them. They even had a radio station come down. The event turned out to be a great philanthropy event.

Following in the A1 team's footsteps, the B1 Flag Football team captured the championship in an exciting game. With dozens of brothers in attendance, the B1 team came from behind in the fourth quarter to attain the win. QB Chris Aceto made sure his final game for ATO was a good one by completing 4 TD passes. The brotherhood is proud of all the great effort and spirit all of our flag football teams brought to the field this season.

Tonight, our scholarship chair hosted a resume and interview seminar for the chapter. Brother Chris Engstrom has excelled academically at Maryland and just took a full-time summer internship with PriceWaterhouse Coopers in NY for the summer. Chris has accrued a knowledge of resume tips and did a great job tonight sharing them with other members of the chapter.

Myself, Tyler Adams and fellow brother Jim Kucera of the Epsilon Theta chapter at Baldwin Wallace competed in the Ohio Athletic Conference tennis tournament at the ATP site in Cincinnati a few weekends ago. We fell short in the finals to Ohio Northern 5-4 but played a fantastic match. I have played number 2 singles and 2 doubles all year with a singles record of 20-8 and a doubles record of 23-5. Jim played number 3 singles and number 1 doubles all year with a singles record of 15-10 and a doubles record of 23-6. Jim received honorable mention all conference honors and I was 1st team all conference. L&R

Last week, some brothers of the Theta Pi chapter gave their time to work a booth at a local art festival. We worked at a crazy hat booth, helping cut paper, gather supplies, and help the kids make their interesting hats. We also had a little fun ourselves, making some crazy accessories and helping out at the event.

Brother John Savoy was awarded 'TAU of the Week' by the chapter at today's meeting. Brother Savoy, who was our Virgin Party 2008 chair, worked extremely hard to set up a great event and the chapter is extremely proud of all the hard work he put in to make the event a huge success.

Congratulation to Brother John Savoy who was reelected to the Executive Board of Greeks for A Better Community. John will be serving as the IFC Liaison, which is a very suiting position for him seeing as how he is also on the Executive Board of the IFC. We are very proud to have a brother on the exec board again.

The Rose-Hulman chapter held their annual Omega meeting this past Saturday. This is a open meeting for all chapter members and the BOT. The purpose of this meeting is to review chapter operations for the past year and to have all the members attend a quarterly meeting of the BOT. We reviewed the actions of the operating committees including: Membership Development/Support, Financial, Facilities, Rush and Membership Development and External Relations. Each of these operating committees is comprised of two members of the BOT and the officers and committee chairmen relating to their respective area, For example the External Relations committee includes the Historian, Public Relations Chairman, Alumni Relations Chairman, Social Service Chairman and the Webmaster. After the meeting the chapter provided a cookout for all attendees.

On April 18th, four brothers including myself drove for about an hour to Guntersville to support a local event, Art-On-The-Lake hosted by 21st Century Club. We worked for several hours setting up fences around the event site. While we were working, we talked with other volunteers about our community. It is the easiest way to know exactly what is going on around us, and we also had fun talking with them.
