Early Fraternity Life and Career
Looking to get involved with groups on campus Jeremy attended Delta Chi's rush info sessions in the spring of 2004. After attending several rush events he realized what an amazing group of people Phi Sigma Pi brought together. As an initiate Jeremy served as the class Treasurer responsible for leading the class fundraising event and class t-shirt. Jeremy and the rest of the Zeta class were inducted on April 18, 2004.
Collegiate Years at Delta Chi Chapter
Beginning with his first semester as a Brother, Jeremy was elected as the Fundraising Chair. It started off being a tough semester as the chapter had lost its biggest annual fundraising event of selling Lehigh merchandise from the bookstore. Jeremy rose to this challenge by finding new ways for the chapter to earn money. Jeremy contacted the Lehigh Athletics Office and was able to secure some spots for Brothers to help direct traffic before the [Lehigh] home football games. It turned out to be a relatively easy way to earn money for the chapter. This chapter has since gone to Lehigh Athletics for more parking jobs in the fall semester. The Delta Chi Chapter had some gift certificates from previous semesters, so Jeremy decided it would be a good idea to go to some more local businesses to collect more donations. Using these generous donations the chapter sold raffle tickets. Prizes were not very expensive (less than $50) but tickets were sold at an inexpensive cost to hopefully get a large number of ticket sales. There were also some smaller fundraising events held throughout the fall 2004 semester. At the end of the semester the Fundraising Committee far exceeded the fundraising goal of $500 by raising $850.
Towards the end of the fall 2004 Jeremy ran for and was elected to the Treasurer's position. This is a position Jeremy held for 3 semesters (1 semester he was nationally inactive due to co-op). During his position as Treasurer Jeremy made the Delta Chi Chapter of Phi Sigma Pi well known by Student Accounts and Student Senate on campus. Jeremy helped the Delta Chi Chapter reach financial stability like the chapter had never seen in its short history. Delta Chi has now become one of the top receivers of Student Senate funds each year. This has helped the chapter subsidize ICR events, rush events, formals, and other events for the chapter.
During the spring 2006 semester Jeremy joined the ad-hoc Risk Management Committee which was created to address the growing concerns of the chapter for a stronger risk management policy. After several successful meetings the committee formalized its results and brought their changes to the chapter. The ideas brought forward were used on a trial basis to see what would work and what wouldn't. After the trial period the suggestions made by the committee that worked were adopted and amended to the chapter Operating Policy.
