In the beginning of 1980, alumni and undergraduates began to assert their influce on the fraternity by serving as National Officers. Robert Helm established this precedent in 1980 and was followed by David Patti, Robert Zalimeni, Michael Hosey, and Kenneth Delorge. This trend was solified in 1984 with the election of Steven DiGuiseppe and Linda Wilson.
Jack Thornton Was the only Chapter Advisor left on the National Council with the remaining five positions being held by alumni or undergraduates.
Long Range Planning Committee

Jeffery Johnson Was recognized for his passion and abilities by the National Coucil and asked to serve as the Eastern Regional Director for Phi Sigma Pi for the 1987-1988 academic year. This position was a non-National Council volunteer position that had not been held for almost 50 years. Was handed the reigns of National President from Steven DiGuiseppe, who then assumed a support role of Immediate Past National President.
