She graduated in May of 2015 and is an active alumna. <br /> <br /> == Early Fraternity Life and Career ==<br /> Fiona Stevenson started at the University of Central Missouri in the Fall of 2011. Because of acquiring college credit through the University of Missouri- Kansas City while in high school, she was able to join Phi Sigma Pi right away in the Fall of 2011. She joined Phi Sigma Pi because she wanted to broaden her horizons, make friends, and had similar values to the fraternity. She was an initiate of the Psi class and was inducted on November 13, 2012. <br /> <br /> == Collegiate Years at Alpha Chapter ==<br /> In the Spring of 2012, Fiona was elected as Initiate Adviser for the 2012-2013 academic year. Over the course of that year, the chapter inducted 30 initiates Fiona also served as the Alpha Chapter Alternate at Phi Sigma Pi's National Convention 2012 in Orlando, Florida. After serving as Initiate Adviser, Fiona then served as the Alpha Chapter Regional Delegate from 2013-2014, assisting in planning the Great Plains Regional Conference in Norman, OK, that year. While serving as regional delegate in the spring, Fiona also served as the Chapter's Fundraising Chair, collaborating with a committee of eight Brothers to plan six events. The last year of her undergraduate career, Fiona served as Alpha Chapter president from 2014-2015. <br /> <br /> == Alumni Years to Present Day ==<br /> After graduating from the University of Central Missouri in May of 2015 and marrying longtime boyfriend Kelly Hawkins in June of 2015, Fiona was at a loss as to what to do career-wise and within Phi Sigma Pi. After taking the summer off, Fiona decided to apply to be a regional conference volunteer for the 2015-16 school year. She was paired with the Dominion region and helped to execute their conference that year at Virginia Commonwealth University. Assisting with that conference rekindled her love of Phi Sigma Pi and afterwards, she signed up to attend National Convention in Kansas City that year. She currently lives in the Kansas City area and is working to start an alumni chapter in the area. <br /> <br /> == National Involvement ==<br /> *Grand Chapter &amp; National Convention, 2012<br /> *Certified Local Leadership in Action Facilitator, 2012<br /> *Grand Chapter &amp; National Convention, 2013<br /> *Grand Chapter &amp; National Convention, 2014 <br /> *Leadership in Action Certified, 2014<br /> *National Development Committee, 2012-2015. <br /> *Awards, Scholarship, &amp; Emblem Committee 2014. <br /> *Leadership Advancement Society, 2015-2016<br /> *National Convention 2016<br /> *Regional Conference Advisor 2015-2016<br /> <br /> == Bigs and Littles ==<br /> Fiona's Big Brother is Josie Zanti. <br /> <br /> Fiona has 1 Little Brother:<br /> * Jessica Way, Alumna<br /> <br /> == Interesting Facts ==<br /> *Fiona is a huge Pokemon fan and has caught them all.<br /> *Fiona and her husband, Kelly, had been dating since high school before they got married in 2015.<br /> *Fiona is an avid coffee drinker. <br /> <br /> &lt;!-- Please do not remove the &quot;Members&quot; category tag below.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by [[Eldo L. Hendricks]], [[Claude A. Phillips]], and [[C.H. McClure]], and is a member of the [[Great Plains Region]].<br /> [[Image:Alphachapter08.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Alpha Chapter, Spring 2011]]<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> [[Image:Alpha_composite.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|Alpha Chapter composite]]<br /> [[Image:Alpha_1917.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|1917]]<br /> <br /> In addition to [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]], [[Claude Phillips|Dr. Phillips]] and [[C.H. McClure|Dr. McClure]], ten other student members were part of the founding group. They were [[Alfred Thayer]], [[J. Archie Leach]], [[Roland Grinstead]], [[Ray Parkins]], [[Wade Fowler]], [[Roy Bigelow]], [[Arthur Kresse]], [[John Doak]], [[Harold Patterson]] and [[Harry Hill]]. These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]]. Gene was awarded with a [[Distinguished Service Key]] during the reactivation ceremonies.<br /> <br /> == The Active Chapter ==<br /> ===Brothers===<br /> ''View main article: [[Active Alpha Brothers]]''<br /> <br /> ===Executive Board===<br /> Alpha's Executive Board is composed of twelve elected members.

As part of our celebration, we decorate the graves of Eldo L. Hendricks, Rolla F. Wood, and C.H. McClure. It is our time to reflect on the brothers who came before us. Some of the activites that we do on Founder's Weekend is a Founders dinner and an activite to get the chapter active.<br /> <br /> === Spring Rush Week 11 ===<br /> The Spring Rush Week of 2011 was a blast. We had a great turn out of brothers and perspectives at all of the events we were able to have. Warrensburg experienced a snow blizzard that closed the campus down for three days during rush week. The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter. This has been a great year and we wish all of the Seniors the best of luck!<br /> <br /> === Great Plains Regional Conference ===<br /> In February of 2012, Alpha Chapter hosted the Great Plains Regional Conference. They hosted the five other chapters in the Great Plains region, and the conference included a tour of campus, a visit to the Founders Graves, Leadership in Action module and facilitator training, and a dance. <br /> <br /> === Founder's Weekend 2016 ===<br /> To commemorate the Centennial, Alpha Chapter hosted a Founder's Celebration. It included visiting the Founders Graves and exploring the history of Phi Sigma Pi. This event was well attended by Alpha Chapter alumni, including the Charter class from our reactivation.<br /> <br /> == Notable Alumni ==<br /> * [[Eldo L.

[[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]].

As part of our celebration, we decorate the graves of Eldo L. Hendricks, Rolla F. Wood, and C.H. McClure. It is our time to reflect on the brothers who came before us. Some of the activites that we do on Founder's Weekend is a Founders dinner and an activite to get the chapter active.<br /> <br /> === Spring Rush Week 11 ===<br /> The Spring Rush Week of 2011 was a blast. We had a great turn out of brothers and perspectives at all of the events we were able to have. Warrensburg experienced a snow blizzard that closed the campus down for three days during rush week. The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter. This has been a great year and we wish all of the Seniors the best of luck!<br /> <br /> === Great Plains Regional Conference ===<br /> In February of 2012, Alpha Chapter hosted the Great Plains Regional Conference. They hosted the five other chapters in the Great Plains region, and the conference included a tour of campus, a visit to the Founders Graves, Leadership in Action module and facilitator training, and a dance. <br /> <br /> === Founder's Weekend 2016 ===<br /> To commemorate the Centennial, Alpha Chapter hosted a Founder's Celebration. It included visiting the Founders Graves and exploring the history of Phi Sigma Pi.

As part of our celebration, we decorate the graves of Eldo L. Hendricks, Rolla F. Wood, and C.H. McClure. It is our time to reflect on the brothers who came before us. Some of the activites that we do on Founder's Weekend is a Founders dinner and an activite to get the chapter active.<br /> <br /> === Spring Rush Week 11 ===<br /> The Spring Rush Week of 2011 was a blast. We had a great turn out of brothers and perspectives at all of the events we were able to have. Warrensburg experienced a snow blizzard that closed the campus down for three days during rush week. The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter. This has been a great year and we wish all of the Seniors the best of luck!<br /> <br /> === Great Plains Regional Conference ===<br /> In February of 2012, Alpha Chapter hosted the Great Plains Regional Conference. They hosted the five other chapters in the Great Plains region, and the conference included a tour of campus, a visit to the Founders Graves, Leadership in Action module and facilitator training, and a dance. <br /> <br /> === Founder's Weekend 2016 ===<br /> To commemorate the Centennial, Alpha Chapter hosted a Founder's Celebration. It included visiting the Founders Graves and exploring the history of Phi Sigma Pi.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by [[Eldo L. Hendricks]], [[Claude A. Phillips]], and [[C.H. McClure]], and is a member of the [[Great Plains Region]].<br /> [[Image:Alphachapter08.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Alpha Chapter, Spring 2011]]<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> [[Image:Alpha_composite.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|Alpha Chapter composite]]<br /> [[Image:Alpha_1917.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|1917]]<br /> <br /> In addition to [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]], [[Claude Phillips|Dr. Phillips]] and [[C.H. McClure|Dr. McClure]], ten other student members were part of the founding group. They were [[Alfred Thayer]], [[J. Archie Leach]], [[Roland Grinstead]], [[Ray Parkins]], [[Wade Fowler]], [[Roy Bigelow]], [[Arthur Kresse]], [[John Doak]], [[Harold Patterson]] and [[Harry Hill]]. These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]]. Gene was awarded with a [[Distinguished Service Key]] during the reactivation ceremonies.<br /> <br /> == The Active Chapter ==<br /> ===Brothers===<br /> ''View main article: [[Active Alpha Brothers]]''<br /> <br /> ===Executive Board===<br /> Alpha's Executive Board is composed of twelve elected members.

Serafini''' (born 25 Jan 1972) is an Honorary Member and Chapter Faculty Advisor of [[Beta Phi]] (Chapter roll 249) at [http://www.wku.edu Western Kentucky University.<br /> <br /> == Early Fraternity Life and Career ==<br /> Growing up in suburban Chicago, David attended Western Kentucky University, where he was a Brother of Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity, a member of the Student Government Association, and a member of the Phi Alpha Theta Honors Society in History.<br /> <br /> He graduated with a BA in History in 1994. In 1997, he earned a Master of Arts degree, specializing in Modern United States History as a major research field, and Kentucky History as a minor field. In 2010, he completed a Certificate in Military History at WKU.<br /> <br /> He began teaching as an Instructor at WKU in 1998, and in 2010 began teaching adjunct courses in History for the Bowling Green Technical College, a member institution of the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). He has offered classes in Western Civilization to 1648, Western Civilization Since 1648, United States to 1865, United States Since 1865, Europe Since the Seventeenth Century, History of Kentucky, University Experience, and Freshman Seminar.<br /> <br /> In the fall semester of 2009, David was approached by Brothers Arthur Cook and Scotty Davis and asked to become the faculty advisor for the Beta Phi Chapter, a role he readily accepted. In Spring 2010, he was made an Honorary Brother of Beta Phi.<br /> <br /> == Collegiate Years at Beta Phi ==<br /> David has been a liason between Beta Phi and Western Kentucky University, and has assisted in the growth of the Chapter however he can. In particular, he has worked to make the transition from a small sized group of eight to one now well over thirty Brothers as easy as possible. This includes meeting with each new Initiate one-on-one, assisting in the planning and execution of events, and being a mentor and a friend to the Chapter as a whole.<br /> <br /> In June 2011 in response to the devastating tornado that impacted Joplin, Missouri, David organized the first [[Beta Phi Joplin Run]]. Five Brothers and two other WKU students, along with three Brothers from Alpha Chapter, spent the weekend of June 24-26 in Joplin assisting Relief Spark in demolishing two houses. The impact of this experience led to the creation of the Beta Phi Joplin Run - The Return, which took place October 6-9, 2011. Eleven Brothers and two other WKU students made this trip. Joplin Run III - The Adventure, took place March 3 through March 7, 2012; twelve Brothers were joined by a fellow WKU student on this trip. Joplin Run IV took place in May 2012 in conjunction with the one year anniversary of the tornado. Joplin Run V is scheduled for October, 2012.<br /> <br /> The story of tornado victim Will Norton in particular inspired David to plan the Joplin Runs. In Fall 2011, Norton was inducted as an Honorary Brother, posthumously, of Beta Phi.<br /> <br /> At the 2012 National Convention in Orlando, Florida, Serafini was elected as Vice President of Chapter Development. He also gave the Keynote Address at the Convention Banquet, challenging the Fraternity to complete 100,000 hours of volunteer service by the Centennial of 2016.<br /> <br /> <br /> == National Involvement ==<br /> * [[Outstanding Chapter Advisor Award]], 2011<br /> * [[2012 National Convention]]<br /> * [[National Development Committee]]<br /> * [[Vice President of Chapter Development]], 2012-present<br /> * [[2013 National Convention]]<br /> <br /> == Regional Conferences ==<br /> * [[Bluegrass Region Conference]] 2012 [[Beta Phi Chapter]], Western Kentucky University<br /> * [[South Region Conference]] 2013 [[Delta Tau Chapter]], Mississippi State University<br /> * [[West Region Conference]] 2013 [[Epsilon Upsilon Chapter]], University of New Mexico<br /> * [[Bluegrass Region Conference]] 2013 [[Gamma Beta Chapter]], Morehead State University<br /> * [[Upper Midwest Region Conference]] 2013 [[Epsilon Sigma Chapter]], University of Iowa<br /> * [[Southeast Region Conference]] 2014 [[Delta Lambda Chapter]], University of Miami<br /> * [[Bluegrass Region Conference]] 2014 [[Epsilon Xi Chapter]], East Tennessee State University<br /> <br /> == Further Resources ==<br /> * [http://http://wkuherald.com/news/article_a0519b68-f285-11e0-b67c-001a4bcf6878.html WKU Instructor Planning More Trips to Rebuild Joplin]<br /> * [http://http://wkunews.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/serafini-award/ Phi Sigma Pi Chapter Advisor Receives National Award]<br /> <br /> == Other Interesting Facts ==<br /> *David has published articles in &lt;i&gt;The Encyclopedia of Jazz Age America&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;The Encyclopedia of Postwar America&lt;/i&gt;, and &lt;i&gt;The Encyclopedia of Sports in America&lt;/i&gt; and has articles under contract for the forthcoming &lt;i&gt;Kentucky African American Encyclopedia&lt;/i&gt;, and has written numerous book reviews.

Natalie had known about Phi Sigma Pi since high school, as a good friend of hers was already a Gamma Epsilon Brother. Natalie rushed in Fall of 2002, and received a bid to join the Lambda pledge class, and immediately fell in love with the organization. After completing the eight week initiation program, Natalie received a bid to become a Brother and was inducted November 24, 2002. <br /> <br /> == Collegiate Years at Gamma Epsilon Chapter ==<br /> After being inducted, Natalie took a semester to serve as a non-elected leader, and joined the Historian committee. After serving on this committee, Natalie felt the time was right to apply for a Committee Chair position. In the Fall of 2003, she was selected to serve as Chair of the Brother Bonding Committee, a position that she shared with Brother Katie Hodges. She served as Chair of this committee for two semesters. In the Fall of 2004, she served as Chair of the Public Relations Committee, along with co-chair, [[Becca Stephen]]. During this semester, the pair, along with the help of their committee, teamed up with the Service Committee (chaired by [[Rachel Christner]]), to plan of the biggest events in Gamma Epsilon's history, the first annual 5K Run For The Kids. This event attracted over 80 participants, and raised over 800 dollars for [[Teach For America]]. <br /> <br /> In the Spring of 2005, when current Historian [[Katie Cobb]], stepped down, Natalie contested the election for interim Historian, and was elected to serve out the remainder of Katie's term. During this time, she implemented a focus on the history of our organization, and partnered with Initiate Advisors to assure that future generations of Gamma Epsilon were on top of their Phi Sigma Pi historical knowledge. At the end of the term, Natalie was re-elected to serve as Historian for the 2005-2006 Academic Year. <br /> <br /> Natalie was recognized with several superlatives at the chapter's semesterly banquets, including Most Spirited Brother, Best Big/Little Pair, Most Likely to be an Active Alumni, Best Big Brother, and was honored to receive the [[Chapter Service Key]] in the Spring of 2006. <br /> <br /> == Alumni Years to Present ==<br /> After graduating from the University of Florida in Spring 2006, Natalie joined Phi Sigma Pi's National Staff as a [[National Staff#Region Consultant|Region Consultant]]. Natalie was in charge of assisting 24 collegiate chapters in the [[South Region|South]], [[Southeast Region|Southeast]] and [[Southwest Region|Southwest]] Regions. It was truly one of the greatest experiences of her life. <br /> <br /> When the term as consultant ended, Natalie stayed active both nationally, and with the Gamma Epsilon Chapter, being elected to serve on the chapter's [[Alumni Advisory Board]]. She also serves on the Gamma Theta Chapter's Alumni Advisory Council. Additionally she served on the [[National Development Committee]] from 2007-2010. In 2009, she was awarded the [[Rolla F.

Matthew is currently serving as [[National President]] for the 2014-2016 National Council term.<br /> <br /> == Early Fraternity Life and Career ==<br /> Matthew attended Clemson University upon graduation from high school, beginning in the Fall of 1997. Because he registered for housing very late in the preceding summer, he was wait-listed until campus housing became available. By luck, the first spot to open up on campus was in the newest apartment complex, where he would share a suite with [[Richard Mock|Richard Brian Mock]], &amp;#914;&amp;#922; 261, who was a long-standing Chapter Officer at Beta Kappa Chapter. Upon receiving his invitation to come to recruitment in his second semester, Matthew decided to join Beta Kappa. He served as the Theta Initiate Class President and was inducted into Beta Kappa Chapter in the Spring of 1998.<br /> <br /> == Collegiate Years at Beta Kappa Chapter ==<br /> In his first Active semester at Beta Kappa, in the Fall of 1999, Matthew became the Liaison for the Alumni Committee. The following semester, he was away for a Cooperative Education experience, and would return in the Summer for a relatively inactive summer session. Following his return to Beta Kappa, Matthew was elected to the Office of Parliamentarian, filling a vacancy left open improperly. Over several semesters, Matthew grew into the role of Parliamentarian, completing coursework and passing the Membership Exam to become a member of the [http://parliamentarians.org/ National Association of Parliamentarians] (NAP). <br /> <br /> During this time, Matthew traveled to other Chapters and National events, including serving as Beta Kappa Chpater's Delegate to Grand Chapter from 2001-2003. While an Active Member of Beta Kappa (1998-2003), Matthew served the Chapter in various roles as Alumni Committee Liaison, Parliamentarian, Corresponding Secretary, and [[Grand Chapter]] Delegate. He was awarded both a Fellowship Award and [[Chapter Service Key]] by Beta Kappa in 2001.<br /> <br /> == Alumni Years to Present ==<br /> Upon graduating from Clemson University in 2003, Matthew found employment in Washington, DC and subsequently relocated. He married former Beta Kappa Chapter Advisor and Honorary Brother Juana Green (now ''[[Juana Green-Nicoletta]]'') in 2005. Later that year, the couple purchased a house in Baltimore, Maryland, where they continue to be active in the fraternity on both the National and Local levels, through the continued attendance of National and Regional Events, and with local Collegiate and Alumni Chapters, including [[Gamma Pi Chapter|Gamma Pi]], [[Alpha Delta Chapter|Alpha Delta]], [[Delaware Valley Alumni Chapter|DVAC]], and [[Capital Chapter|WDCAAC]].<br /> <br /> == Senior Vice President ==<br /> Matthew held the role of [[Senior Vice President]] during the 2008-2010 National Council term. During this time, he focused primarily on improving our Risk Management and emergency preparedness and on simplifying several elements of the [[National Constitution]], notably [[National Constitution Article IV|Article IV: Membership]], which he re-wrote entirely as a proposed amendment to the National Constitution during the [[2009 Grand Chapter Conference]]. The Amendment clarified classes of Membership (Collegiate, Alumni, Honorary) and served to separate these distinct classes from Active or Inactive status and other designations such as Founding Member or Charter Member.<br /> <br /> == Vice President of Finance ==<br /> Matthew held the role of [[Vice President of Finance]] after being elected to this position in 2010. His focus in this role is on balancing the National Budget supportive of providing excellent member services, developing Leadership In Action, expanding Phi Sigma Pi, and deepening the fraternity's commitment to our National Philanthropic efforts.<br /> <br /> ===Investment Advisory Committee===<br /> During his time serving as Vice President of Finance, Matthew drafted and helped pass the approval of the [[Investment Advisory Committee]]. The committee was a result of an idea at the the [[2011 Grand Chapter Conference]] to allow Chapters to have a greater role in budgetary planning. <br /> <br /> ===Amnesty Program===<br /> Matthew also drafted the origins of the Amnesty Program that was developed in 2011. The program allows Chapters who believe they may have less than proper practices to apply for amnesty in exchange for openly sharing these practices with the National Office in order to bring them into alignment with national policies.<br /> <br /> == National Involvement ==<br /> Matthew's Active involvement Nationally began largely in 2001, when he represented Beta Kappa as the Chapter Delegate at the Annual [[Grand Chapter Conference]], held that year in Columbus, Ohio.

These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]].

The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by [[Eldo L. Hendricks]], [[Claude A. Phillips]], and [[C.H. McClure]], and is a member of the [[Great Plains Region]].<br /> [[Image:Alphachapter08.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Alpha Chapter, Spring 2011]]<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> [[Image:Alpha_composite.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|Alpha Chapter composite]]<br /> [[Image:Alpha_1917.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|1917]]<br /> <br /> In addition to [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]], [[Claude Phillips|Dr. Phillips]] and [[C.H. McClure|Dr. McClure]], ten other student members were part of the founding group. They were [[Alfred Thayer]], [[J. Archie Leach]], [[Roland Grinstead]], [[Ray Parkins]], [[Wade Fowler]], [[Roy Bigelow]], [[Arthur Kresse]], [[John Doak]], [[Harold Patterson]] and [[Harry Hill]]. These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]]. Gene was awarded with a [[Distinguished Service Key]] during the reactivation ceremonies.<br /> <br /> == The Active Chapter ==<br /> ===Brothers===<br /> ''View main article: [[Active Alpha Brothers]]''<br /> <br /> ===Executive Board===<br /> Alpha's Executive Board is composed of twelve elected members.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by [[Eldo L. Hendricks]], [[Claude A. Phillips]], and [[C.H. McClure]], and is a member of the [[Great Plains Region]].<br /> [[Image:Alphachapter08.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Alpha Chapter, Spring 2011]]<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> [[Image:Alpha_composite.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|Alpha Chapter composite]]<br /> [[Image:Alpha_1917.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|1917]]<br /> <br /> In addition to [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]], [[Claude Phillips|Dr. Phillips]] and [[C.H. McClure|Dr. McClure]], ten other student members were part of the founding group. They were [[Alfred Thayer]], [[J. Archie Leach]], [[Roland Grinstead]], [[Ray Parkins]], [[Wade Fowler]], [[Roy Bigelow]], [[Arthur Kresse]], [[John Doak]], [[Harold Patterson]] and [[Harry Hill]]. These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]]. Gene was awarded with a [[Distinguished Service Key]] during the reactivation ceremonies.<br /> <br /> == The Active Chapter ==<br /> ===Brothers===<br /> ''View main article: [[Active Alpha Brothers]]''<br /> <br /> ===Executive Board===<br /> Alpha's Executive Board is composed of twelve elected members.

As part of our celebration, we decorate the graves of Eldo L. Hendricks, Rolla F. Wood, and C.H. McClure. It is our time to reflect on the brothers who came before us. Some of the activites that we do on Founder's Weekend is a Founders dinner and an activite to get the chapter active.<br /> <br /> === Spring Rush Week 11 ===<br /> The Spring Rush Week of 2011 was a blast. We had a great turn out of brothers and perspectives at all of the events we were able to have. Warrensburg experienced a snow blizzard that closed the campus down for three days during rush week. The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter. This has been a great year and we wish all of the Seniors the best of luck!<br /> <br /> == Notable Alumni ==<br /> * [[Eldo L. Hendricks]]<br /> : Phi Sigma Pi Founder<br /> * [[C.H.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by Chapter alumnus Name and is a member of the [[Western Pennsylvania Region]].<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> <br /> Kappa Chapter was founded on May 2, 1930. The National President at the time, Dr. Percival, traveled from Indiana State Teachers College (now Indiana University of PA) to personally conduct the installation of the chapter and induct the new members. Assistants in the process were others from Indiana State Teachers College, Dr. Foster, Professor Manwiller, and Mr. Joseph Rudolph. <br /> <br /> Alpha Class members of Kappa Chapter were the following:<br /> [[Robert M. Steele| Dr. Robert M. Steele]] (University President), [[Harry L. Kriner|Dean Harry L. Kriner]], Professor J.A. Foberg, Professor Samuel Neagley, [[Clair B. Wilson|Professor Clair B. Wilson]], Oren Holman, Foster Sisson, [[W. Milton Sisson]], Victor Krupensky, Charles Bryan, Ellwood Cooper and Patrick McManus. <br /> <br /> Beta Class members of Kappa Chapter are:<br /> Anton Lukas, Morrison Bradley, Charles, Spurgeon, John Magill, Thomas Campbell and Clifford Buell. <br /> <br /> <br /> The high point of the social season at Kappa's found was the Founder's Day banquet held every May 2. This tradition of a celebration of our founding continues to this day at Kappa Chapter.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Kappa Chapter was reactivated on March 30, 1988 by Jeffrey Johnson and Steven A. DiGuiseppe. It was a mass reactivation with 160 new brothers signing the roll book on March 30, 1988. However, on April 11, 1988, 25 more Alpha class brothers signed Kappa Chapter's Roll Book, completing Alpha Class's members. Induction was completed one month before graduation, and, as a result, Kappa initially lost many of its Alpha A (A for reactivation) Class's brothers because there were no limitations in the recruitment process. However, with the new school year, Kappa Chapter was able to revitalize itself, and prosper to this day at California University of Pennsylvania. Since 1988, there have been 40 pledge classes to date, not counting the Fall of 88 when there was no pledge class.<br /> <br /> === Early Years ===<br /> Clair B.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by [[Eldo L. Hendricks]], [[Claude A. Phillips]], and [[C.H. McClure]], and is a member of the [[Great Plains Region]].<br /> [[Image:Alphachapter08.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Alpha Chapter, Spring 2011]]<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> [[Image:Alpha_composite.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|Alpha Chapter composite]]<br /> [[Image:Alpha_1917.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|1917]]<br /> <br /> In addition to [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]], [[Claude Phillips|Dr. Phillips]] and [[C.H. McClure|Dr. McClure]], ten other student members were part of the founding group. They were [[Alfred Thayer]], [[J. Archie Leach]], [[Roland Grinstead]], [[Ray Parkins]], [[Wade Fowler]], [[Roy Bigelow]], [[Arthur Kresse]], [[John Doak]], [[Harold Patterson]] and [[Harry Hill]]. These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]]. Gene was awarded with a [[Distinguished Service Key]] during the reactivation ceremonies.<br /> <br /> == The Active Chapter ==<br /> ===Brothers===<br /> ''View main article: [[Active Alpha Brothers]]''<br /> <br /> ===Executive Board===<br /> Alpha's Executive Board is composed of twelve elected members.

As part of our celebration, we decorate the graves of Eldo L. Hendricks, Rolla F. Wood, and C.H. McClure. It is our time to reflect on the brothers who came before us. Some of the activites that we do on Founder's Weekend is a Founders dinner and an activite to get the chapter active.<br /> <br /> === Spring Rush Week 11 ===<br /> The Spring Rush Week of 2011 was a blast. We had a great turn out of brothers and perspectives at all of the events we were able to have. Warrensburg experienced a snow blizzard that closed the campus down for three days during rush week. The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter. This has been a great year and we wish all of the Seniors the best of luck!<br /> <br /> == Notable Alumni ==<br /> * [[Eldo L. Hendricks]]<br /> : Phi Sigma Pi Founder<br /> * [[C.H.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by [[Eldo L. Hendricks]], [[Claude A. Phillips]], and [[C.H. McClure]], and is a member of the [[Great Plains Region]].<br /> [[Image:Alphachapter08.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Alpha Chapter, Spring 2011]]<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> [[Image:Alpha_composite.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|Alpha Chapter composite]]<br /> [[Image:Alpha_1917.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|1917]]<br /> <br /> In addition to [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]], [[Claude Phillips|Dr. Phillips]] and [[C.H. McClure|Dr. McClure]], ten other student members were part of the founding group. They were [[Alfred Thayer]], [[J. Archie Leach]], [[Roland Grinstead]], [[Ray Parkins]], [[Wade Fowler]], [[Roy Bigelow]], [[Arthur Kresse]], [[John Doak]], [[Harold Patterson]] and [[Harry Hill]]. These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]].

As part of our celebration, we decorate the graves of Eldo L. Hendricks, Rolla F. Wood, and C.H. McClure. It is our time to reflect on the brothers who came before us. Some of the activites that we do on Founder's Weekend is a Founders dinner and an activite to get the chapter active.<br /> <br /> === Spring Rush Week 11 ===<br /> The Spring Rush Week of 2011 was a blast. We had a great turn out of brothers and perspectives at all of the events we were able to have. Warrensburg experienced a snow blizzard that closed the campus down for three days during rush week. The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter. This has been a great year and we wish all of the Seniors the best of luck!<br /> <br /> == Notable Alumni ==<br /> * [[Eldo L. Hendricks]]<br /> : Phi Sigma Pi Founder<br /> * [[C.H.

As part of our celebration, we decorate the graves of Eldo L. Hendricks, Rolla F. Wood, and C.H. McClure. It is our time to reflect on the brothers who came before us. Some of the activites that we do on Founder's Weekend is a Founders dinner and an activite to get the chapter active.<br /> <br /> === Spring Rush Week 11 ===<br /> The Spring Rush Week of 2011 was a blast. We had a great turn out of brothers and perspectives at all of the events we were able to have. Warrensburg experienced a snow blizzard that closed the campus down for three days during rush week. The theme of rush was &quot;Hatching a New Breed of Brothers&quot;. The Dynamic Duo of Sam's (Hale and Garton)did a great job with rush. On Tuesday, during a regular meeting we voted on the perspectives. On April 17th, at the end of their 8 weeks, we voted in 14 new initiates. Congratulations to the initiates of the Chi class of 2011. <br /> <br /> === Senior Send-Off ===<br /> This past semester, Spring 2011 we had 16 graduating seniors. Throughout their time at Alpha Chapter, they have been very active and have helped out with the many Chapter events. In honor of their efforts within in the Chapter, we hold an annual Senior Send-Off. Each semester, we develop a Senior Send-Off video, read Senior wills, and give them each a small token of appreciation from the Chapter. This has been a great year and we wish all of the Seniors the best of luck!<br /> <br /> == Notable Alumni ==<br /> * [[Eldo L. Hendricks]]<br /> : Phi Sigma Pi Founder<br /> * [[C.H.

The [[Collegiate Chapters|Chapter]] was founded by [[Eldo L. Hendricks]], [[Claude A. Phillips]], and [[C.H. McClure]], and is a member of the [[Great Plains Region]].<br /> [[Image:Alphachapter08.jpg|thumb|500px|right|Alpha Chapter, Spring 2011]]<br /> <br /> == Chapter History ==<br /> === Founding ===<br /> [[Image:Alpha_composite.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|Alpha Chapter composite]]<br /> [[Image:Alpha_1917.jpg‎‎|thumb|300px|right|1917]]<br /> <br /> In addition to [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]], [[Claude Phillips|Dr. Phillips]] and [[C.H. McClure|Dr. McClure]], ten other student members were part of the founding group. They were [[Alfred Thayer]], [[J. Archie Leach]], [[Roland Grinstead]], [[Ray Parkins]], [[Wade Fowler]], [[Roy Bigelow]], [[Arthur Kresse]], [[John Doak]], [[Harold Patterson]] and [[Harry Hill]]. These ten students were the first undergraduate Brothers of Phi Sigma Pi, Thayer being the first among them. [[Eldo Hendricks|Dr. Hendricks]] would go on to be known as Alpha 1.<br /> <br /> === World War I ===<br /> As the United States mobilizes for war, many of the men on the Warrensburg campus go off to military training camps throughout the country or to the European front. Many of the Warrensburg men become part of a military emergency medical team known as the Ambulance Boys. This group forms a very close relationship and many of its members belong to Phi Sigma Pi and Sigma Tau Gamma. All campus organizations, including Phi Sigma Pi, would struggle with membership until the war ended in 1920. Phi Sigma Pi would only induct a total of 8 men in 1918 and 1919.<br /> <br /> === Post World War I ===<br /> In 1920 Alpha Chapter begins the tradition of inviting eligible candidates to join Phi Sigma Pi.<br /> <br /> === Reactivation ===<br /> Alpha Chapter went inactive in 1979, during one of the fraternity's most difficult periods. However, thanks to the relentless efforts of the [[National Council]], [[National Staff]], Alpha Chapter Alumni, and interested brothers from other chapters, the chapter was reactivated on December 2, 2000. [[Gene Seevers]] played a large part in the reactivation due to his connections with many university administration officials. Thirty-four brothers signed the new roll book that day, under the direction of [[National President]] [[Joshua Marder]], and with an emotional audience of Alpha Alumni, National Officers and Staff, and brothers congregated from all over the country. Also in attendance were original chapter members; [[Gene Seevers]], [[Jerry Voss]], [[Harold Young]], [[Dr. Charles Keseman]] and [[Earl Webb]]. Gene was awarded with a [[Distinguished Service Key]] during the reactivation ceremonies.<br /> <br /> == The Active Chapter ==<br /> ===Brothers===<br /> ''View main article: [[Active Alpha Brothers]]''<br /> <br /> ===Executive Board===<br /> Alpha's Executive Board is composed of thirteen elected members.
