PIKE – Zeta Chi Chapter – Spring 2013 Update

March 22nd, 2013

Recruitment/Pledge Ed

                Our new recruitment chair, Jereme Sebastian, led us to our second consecutive semester as the top recruiting fraternity with 11 new members.  6 of the 11 recruited are also playing football here at Missouri State.  The recruits are now going through their pledge education, led by brother Eric Delaney, with their new member retreat taking place the weekend of 2/15/13.

Brotherhood

                Our first brotherhood event of the semester was an intense game of broomball at Mediacom Ice Rink.  This was just the first of many planned competitions set up by newly appointed brotherhood chair Austin Sherman.  Upcoming events will have the chapter split into 6 families, each named after one of our fraternity’s founders, competing against each other for points and pride.  Other upcoming events include paintballing, movie nights, and pledge class retreats.

 

BroomBall

Athletics

                Our athletics are looking very solid this semester.  Our basketball team has an undefeated record at 3-0, showing complete dominance in each game.  Our futsal season ended early with a 2-2 record, but we showed promising performances and are looking forward for the soccer season to begin.

 

Basketball

Community Service

We started off this year’s community service with a bang, taking home the “Bloody Cup” after having the highest percent of members donate blood to the Community Blood Center of the Ozarks.  We have also adopted a half mile stretch of College Street.  Also, we have partnered with several sororities doing community service at a local retirement home, The Gardens.

 

BloodyCup    CommunityService    The Gardens

Special Events

Other special events planned for this semester include Mom’s Weekend on May 4th when we will be taking the chapter’s mothers out for lunch and then to a Springfield Cardinals game.  Another exciting event is our first formal since returning to campus.  The formal is planned to be the weekend of April 5th at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Events planned for this formal include an award ceremony, a dinner cruise, as well as a dance.

We wish to foster brotherhood between all generations of Pikes, as well as enjoy an afternoon playing a gentlemen’s game. Whether you’re an alumni, parent, grandparent or student, all are welcome to join the competition. We’ll see you on the green!

Homcoming/Annual Meeting/Announcement

August 28th, 2012

It is great news that ZXAA will once again host Homecoming 2012 with ZX. The weekend is October 26-28, 2012. Once again the Oasis Convention Center will be our base. Friday will be the welcoming reception, Saturday we will have the parade (firetruck included), Bearfest Village, MSU game, ZXAA annual meeting, Baxter Hall Properties (Housing Corporation) meeting and Casino night. This year those alumni current on dues receive $25 complimentary chips. It will be an action packed weekend and need all alumni to attend.

ZX was officially chartered in August 2012. They are an impressive bunch and have set their sights on a Symthe Award in 2013. Part of the requirement to win a Symthe is strong alumni support at events. Their alumni goal is 100+ for the weekend. ZXAA welcomes all alumni to support this effort. Attached is weekend information provided by your ZX chapter.

ZXAA started with Tim Nichols and I in my basement in 2004. Together all of us have built the Most Outstanding New Alumni Association and two-time Most Outstanding Alumni Association (Nester Award) within Pi Kappa Alpha. We talked about running with the “big boys” when we started and now we are the “big boy”! Along the way ZXAA created www.zetachipikes.com, alumni directory, located the fire truck, restored the fire truck, “Rally Around the Truck”, lobbied on the return of ZX, “Line the Halls”, returned ZX to MSU, created the Alumni Advisory Board, Committee of ZXAA advisors, Housing Corporation (Baxter Hall Properties), ZXAA Fire Truck Committee, ZXAA scholarship committee, prepared and hosted many events along with many other activities. ZX is a special group. I always end my message with “Together We Can Achieve Great Things”. We as a Fraternity chapter came together and did something few if any people thought was possible. We did this for ZX, by ZX. My hope is none of us ever forget what we did because it is a pure success story. This annual meeting will be my last as ZXAA President. I will be stepping down allowing others to provide leadership and energy to ZXAA. It’s been a great honor and a lot of fun. I plan to stay on Baxter Hall Properties board, fire Truck committee and Scholarship committee. ZXAA is in good shape with programs in place for continued success. You guys bought what I was selling and we created something few chapters will ever have. I greatly appreciate everyone’s support over the years and look forward to seeing 100+ alumni in October.

Outstanding Alumni Association of Pi Kappa Alpha

July 7th, 2012

Gentlemen-

It is a great pleasure I share with ZXAA (Zeta Chi Alumni Association) that again this year ZXAA has won the William R. Nester award from Pi Kappa Alpha for Outstanding Alumni Association of the Year 2011-2012. This is back to back years ZXAA has been recognized as the Outstanding Alumni Association of Pi Kappa Alpha. This speaks very highly of ZXAA and ZX alumni. You, we made the difference. I would like to thank the ZXAA committee for their leadership and you-alumni- for stepping up. Great things lay ahead for ZX and alumni.

With all our success we continue to ask alumni to pay their annual dues (March 1 – March 1 of each year). To those alumni current on dues-Thank You!!! Those that have not, you can do so at www.zetachipikes.com and click the PayPal link or send a check to ZXAA c/o Jim Roebuck 1638 S. Enterprise Springfield, MO 65804. It is critical to keep programs in place for ZX alumni to commit $50 a year to ZXAA. ZXAA needs your annual support of $50. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at (417) 882-3266.

ZXAA will receive the Nester Award in Denver, July 28, at the PKA National Convention. I am making plans to receive the Nester Award in Denver on behalf of ZXAA. Mike Pearson led Convention fundraising efforts for ZX to attend the Convention. ZX alumni once again stepped up and contributed $2400 for ZX travel, lodging and registration fees. ZXAA provided $400 to this cause. Please note, all of the $2400 will be used towards actives of the ZX chapter attending Convention.

Zeta Chi is a special group. Thanks for all your support. “Together We Can Achieve Great Things”-and have!

Jim Roebuck, President
Zeta Chi Alumni Association
