Chapter History
Founding
The Charter Class of the Zeta Iota Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi at St. Joseph’s University was inducted on April 17, 2011. This Charter Class included twenty-six members who enthusiastically worked toward bringing an official chapter of Phi Sigma Pi to Hawk Hill. Our Founder and first President was Sally Siebert.
Sally Siebert led the charge in getting Phi Sigma Pi onto Saint Joseph’s campus. It served as the second co-ed fraternity besides the business fraternity. She worked for several years to get Phi Sigma Pi on campus. The first eboard was Sally Siebert (President), Elizabeth Fitzpatrick (Vice-President), Stephanie Scalice (Secretary), Cory Hall (Treasuer), Justin Colaprico (Parlimentairan), Lauren Takovich (Recruitment Advisor and Initiate Adivisor), and Raya Abat (Historian). The eboard was selected by the Director of Exapsion, Ryan DeGuzman. Zeta Iota upon successful completion of the chapter petition outlining all the events and goals of chapter as a colony. This petition was completed by the Historian, Raya Abat, and fellow brother Robbie Cusella.
On August 6, 2011, Raya Abat and Stephanie Scalice received Zeta Iota’s Charter on behalf of the entire Chapter during the Awards Banquet of the 2011 Phi Sigma Pi National Convention held in Arlington, Virginia. Acquisition of this Charter symbolized Zeta Iota’s official recognition as an active Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi at the national level.
Throughout The Years
2011
The Chapter focused on completing event requirements that were necessary to become a recognized chapter. Lack of experience with proper chapter operations resulted in confusion and uncertainty. There were several events that were planned were later canceled due to confusion and lack of interest. In spite of these set backs, brothers had a fun time getting to know each other and learning about Phi Sigma Pi. Risk management chair was created during this year.
2012
This year was a transitional year with the implementation of structure. The chapter to stray away from a laid back atmosphere to a more formal setting. An anonymous online suggestion box was used to help gain input from brothers; however, this caused more problems and it was decided to discontinue it. Committees started to become more solidified. For the first time, a brother was expelled, put on probation, and brothers resigned from the fraternity. Since this was the first year implementing terms on probation, it was difficult figuring out how to do so. This was also the first year we had an alumni advisor, Chris Costantino, who helped with parliamentary procedure and chapter effectiveness. Robert's Rules were finally used during meetings. The Brother at Large position was created during this year.
2013
Zeta Iota continued to grow throughout this year. Positions Charters and Alphas usually had were finally being replaced by younger brothers. The chapter continued to change. One big change was implementation of event requirements in Operating Policy. Another major change was the number event requirements that were mandatory. It was originally each brother had to go to two social events, two scholarship events, two fundraising events, two service events, and one risk management event. This was changed to one social, one scholarship, one fundraising, one service, one risk management, and two of any event which included those just mentioned plus public relations, historian, alumni, and inter-chapter relations event. This allowed for greater flexibility for brothers and also allowed for the brothers to go to other events make it count for something.
2014
In 2014 a major was that the number of fundraising events required to go was increased from one to two. Going to only one event decreased the amount of money raised for the fraternity.
