Jeff Lawton (born August 2, 1973) is an Active Member of the Capital Alumni Chapter (Chapter roll 2) and an alumni of the Alpha Omicron Chapter of the University of Virginia (Chapter roll 73).

Early Fraternity Life and Career

Jeff Lawton attended the University of Virginia in 1991. In the spring semester of 1992, he received an invitation in his mailbox to rush Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity.

Collegiate Years at Sample Chapter

The Alpha Omicron chapter was only one year old by the time he joined. In the fall of 1992, Jeff attended his first National Convention in Pittsburgh. The experience inspired him to assume the office of Pledgemaster and ran the rush and initiation of the four-person Delta class. For this class, he began mandatory pledge pin wearing (of course) and started mandatory testing from the Scholar's Province (before this became a National rule).

In the spring of 1993, Jeff continued his role of Pledgemaster with the rush for the Zeta class. The first rush meeting was the largest in our chapter's history at the time, with over 300 students attending, largely in part to a massive on-Grounds advertising campaign. We started with over 40 rushees and, by the end of the initiation period, retained just over 30 rushees.

In the spring of 1994, Jeff worked with the officers to create the first chapter composite, which has continued each year since. Jeff was pleased to see all of the composites, including the first, on display in the chapter's house a few years ago in 2005 while down for a football game.

In the fall of 1994, Jeff assumed the office of Social Chair, which he continued through the sping of 1995.

During graduation that year, Jeff and other alumni posed for a group picture in front of the main library. Jeff had put his letters on his cap, and domehow that picture made its way to Nationals, where it was used for almost ten years as the de facto alumni photograph (e.g., Scholar's Province, www.phisigmapi.org).
