Nick started out as the Chapter’s [[Zeta_Iota|ICR chair]] while also serving on the Scholarship Committee. The connections he made as [[Zeta_Iota|ICR chair]] helped him when he was elected [[Zeta_Iota_Regional_Delegate&action=edit&redlink=1|Regional Delegate]].  Nick was the Service Chair and responsible for planning the service event for the Regional Conference at [[Gamma_Xi|Gamma Xi]]. He organized Brothers to write Valentine’s Day Cards to patients at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Nick served as [[Zeta_Iota_Historian&action=edit&redlink=1|Historian]] while he was [[Zeta_Iota_Regional_Delegate&action=edit&redlink=1|Regional Delegate]].  When he was [[Zeta_Iota_Historian&action=edit&redlink=1|Historian]], Nick brought to the Chapter several new ideas.  He introduced “Brother of the Month”, “Photos of the Month”, made photos available online via Google Drive, organized Zeta Iota's first ever Composite, started the first "Senior Sendoff", and created Chapter's Family Tree Lines/Names.  During his 2nd term as [[Zeta_Iota_Historian&action=edit&redlink=1|Historian]], the [[Zeta_Iota_Vice_President|Vice President]] at the time resigned due to a new internship she received.  Nick ran for [[Zeta_Iota_Vice_President|Vice President]] and he was elected.  Nick made the attendance for events available online and had Chairs meet Bi-Weekly for better planning of events.  There was Executive Board Elections towards the end of the semester and Nick was elected [[Zeta_Iota_President|President]] by the Chapter.  Shortly after the election, Nick found out he would be acting [[Zeta_Iota_President|President]] for the Chapter a couple of days after the election.  Some of Nick’s plans during his time as [[Zeta_Iota_President|President]] were redoing the Attendance Policy/Disciplinary Actions, Plan of Action Forms, Changing the way Probation was handled, Hosting Regional Conference, Campus Wide Event, Improving Communication among the Brotherhood, increase transparency, Decrease Brother Apathy, eliminate committee breakouts during Chapter meetings, have Brothers submitting amendments, and improve the transition process.  Nick was also elected as the [[Zeta_Iota_National_Delegate&action=edit&redlink=1|Alternate National Delegate]] for [[2013_National_Convention|National Convention]] in Philadelphia. Nick became the Co-Chair for the ad-hoc Campus Wide Event Committee.  The event was a 5 on 5 Dodge Ball Tournament (PSP Dodges MS) and all the proceeds goes to the National MS Society which took place May 3rd, 2014.  He was in charge of the Finances and Operations. The event was extremely successful and the event helped raise over $1300 for the National MS Society.

<big>Plan of Action Forms</big>
 
# Committee Events were struggling with attendance and their was a lack of communication

# Had a couple instances where people were doing things that weren’t part of their actual job
 
 
 
<big>Transition</big>
 
# Some sort of Shadow Program before Elections
 
# Help people understand position more thoroughly before elections
 
# One of the biggest reasons why people don’t run is because they don't know what role of position entails
 
# Important since this is pretty much the last eboard that will include Charters
 
# One of the roles of our positions is to find our predecessor ‡ scope out don’t know what to expect so we need a way to show off the position beforehand
 
 
 
<big>Have Brothers submitting amendments</big>
 
# Show them how to on our 2 time award winning website
 
# It’s just a little template including purpose and why you want to change
 
# A good way to get people involved and looking at OP and Bylaws
