Early Fraternity Life and Career

Collegiate Years at Alpha Upsilon Chapter
Andy's first leadership role was in the spring of 2008 when he replaced Tia Milligan as the Sports Liazon. During the same semester, he filled in as Chaplain to replace Justin Cooper. In the fall of 2008, Andy picked up the role of Scholarship Chair. He had to relinquish both Scholarship Chair and Sports Liazon Duties to Jamie Summers and Jordan Gracien, respectively, while he studied abroad in Barcelona during the Spring 2009 semester.

Intramural Sports
Andy's class, Alpha Upsilon, was the beginning of a new trend of athletes coming through the ranks. The impact produced results, with Phi Sigma Pi being recognized as the Flag Football Recreational champs in the fall of 2007. Andy anchored the offense at center, providing key blocks, emergency out-routes, and most importantly recruiting members to the championship team. What would seem like a glorious moment for Phi Sigma Pi athletics was bittersweet, as Tia Milligan, aka "Sensei" would be stepping down as Sports Liazon. Andy took over the following semester, and with the help of the athletic initiate class, Alpha Iota, Phi Sigma Pi captured the Recreational Crown in the spirng of 2008. Efforts for the fall seemed dim at first, as Andy lead the football and soccer team as far as he could before lack of participation forced early endings. However, thanks to the promotion of volleyball by Steven Cruise and the near-professional skills of Maggie Hoppe, the chapter marched through the recreational playoffs and sealed a victory over the Delta Sigma Pi Business Fraternity in the Championship. With Phi Sigma Pi Athletics having returned to glory after 3 consectutive semesters being named champions, Andy then handed over the reigns to current Sports Liazon, Jordan Gracien
