Early Fraternity Life and Career

He knew he wanted to rush Phi Sigma Pi after going on an immersion trip to El Paso with fellow Brothers Tony Newton and Samantha DiGiuseppe. Spring 2014, the Zeta Iota Chapter gave him a bid, which he accepted. As an initiate, Luigi served on the Initiate Social committee.
