Chapter History

2001

Founding

After the discovery of an Alpha Eta, University of Delaware, alumni working in the Career Services Department of Lehigh University, Phi Sigma Pi Nationals decided to give those students with a 3.0 GPA or higher the opportunity to start a Lehigh University chapter of Phi Sigma Pi. Invites to an information session were sent out to these students on October 5, 2001. Of the hundreds of students who received these letters, some attended the first ever Lehigh University Phi Sigma Pi meet night held on Monday October 15, run by Nationals and Richard Freed, the Alpha Eta alumni who initiated the entire endeavor. Due to the interest generated, the staff arranged an organizational meeting for the next Monday, October 22. Many attended this meeting, including the National President, Tammy A. Mleziva.

Determined to begin this chapter, the group elected student officers for the chapter: Cheryl Foster, President; Justin Federici, Vice President; Pamela Passerello, Corresponding Secretary; Stella Maher, Recording Secretary; Martin Uteras, Treasurer; Sara Ferris, Rush Advisor; Kristin Matchica, Initiate Advisor; Amy Gilbreth, Parliamentarian; and Marika Deppmeyer, Historian. The next week, the budding chapter officially motioned in Richard Freed as their advisor and requested that Alpha Eta, of University of Delaware, be their sister chapter, officially beginning the process.
