Highest Fraternity GPA at BGSU Again!

Here at Ohio Zeta Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, we continually strive for academic excellence. I am proud to report that, in the spring semester 2012, our chapter again earned the highest cumulative grade point average among fraternities at BGSU. Ohio Zetas GPA was above 3.0, which is outstanding, especially compared to the other fraternities on campus. As we look forward to the fall semester, we want to improve our standards and GPA for our brothers. We are selecting the winner for the Outstanding Brotherhood Scholarship the first time the scholarship will be awarded since 2009. In the fall, we will award our first-ever Freshman Scholarship to one standout freshman who has an interest in Phi Kappa Psi, as well as being well-rounded and having a high GPA. Ohio Zeta has been enforcing mandatory study table hours at the Learning Commons at Jerome Library, which really has benefitted many people, and is another step in the direction of constantly seeking improvement in our grades and standards for one another. I am excited about keeping Phi Kappa Psis excellent academic reputation alive. It has been another strong academic year for our brothers, and we plan to come back in the fall ready to work again and continue to show why Phi Kappa Psi is the best fraternity on campus.

Brother Alex Solis Elected Student Body President

Brothers, family of Ohio Zeta, and friends: On February 9, 2012, I launched what seemed like an improbable campaign to become Bowling Green State Universitys next Student Body President. For eight weeks, I met hundreds and hundreds of students and campaigned on the concept and promise of being that voice for students that is committed to making a difference. I am a sophomore studying Sports Management and General Business. This past year, I was a Resident Advisor on campus, and I also interned at the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. Most importantly, I am a member of Phi Kappa Psi. I was initiated a year ago, in April of 2011, and my badge number is 734. While on the campaign trail, I met someone new every day. I heard their stories, and I tried to understand their frustrations with the university. The race was long and unforgettable. But looking back on the experience, what meant the most were the constant reminders that I am a brother of Phi Kappa Psi. During the election process, the overwhelming support of my fraternity brothers kept me going. The public relations work and the social media support were just the start. Their grassroots effort of persuading their friends to vote, sharing my campaign platform, and spreading the election awareness helped as well. But what really mattered was the accountability my brothers had with me to the Creed of our fraternity. For that, I am forever thankful. On April 6, 2012, the announcement came that I was the Student Body President-Elect. A week later, I was sworn into office. I am honored and humbled that the undergraduate students voted me into this position, and I am excited about the challenges ahead. Though students and those on campus often see me in a suit, I know that I am always wearing my letters, striving each day to uphold the core values of Phi Kappa Psi. Live Ever! Die Never!

Brothers of Ohio Zeta Chapter Brothers, As the current GP of Ohio Zeta, it is my honor to report that we are developing into one of the top chapters at Bowling Green State University. We strive to maintain the highest GPA on campus, reach out to the community through service and philanthropy events, prepare for a new recruitment format in the fall, and constantly demonstrate our belief in true brotherhood. During the first half of my term, the chapter has continued to build on its past success. We were honored by the Greek honor society, Order of Omega, for our academic achievement we received the Outstanding Fraternity GPA Award for the fall semester. To increase our efforts in maintaining this title in future years, we are developing a new academic guideline that holds our brothers above the Greek community standard. As mentioned in the previous Falcon, we have been able to call the house our own since the departure of Alpha Tau Omega. However, we recently learned that we will once again be sharing the house, this time with the brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha. We rarely interact with their chapter, but we are excited about them moving in next year. Along with the chapters dedication to brotherhood, members of Ohio Zeta have increased their involvement and leadership in the university community. As our Phi Psi brothers take on more leadership roles in the greater campus community, their positive involvement enhances our chapters campus-wide reputation. In addition to our academic achievement, Order of Omega presented us with the BGSU Campus Involvement Award. Ohio Zeta received the award as a direct result of our brothers participation in organizations like Undergraduate Student Government, Colleges Against Cancer, Greek Emerging Leaders Council, Order of Omega, Veritas, and many more organizations around campus. In recent months, Alex Solis was elected student body president, placing a brother of Ohio Zeta in one of the top undergraduate student leadership positions on campus. (Alex tells his story in an article on page 1.) A majority of our chapters re-founding brothers graduated this year. All of the brothers appreciate the work and loyalty they have demonstrated toward Ohio Zeta during their collegiate careers. Our re-founding brothers are truly admired by all of the remaining undergraduate members, and we hope to carry on their legacy. With the spring semester coming to an end, the brothers of Ohio Zeta expect to continue building on the success of those brothers who went before us. Brothers commitment has played a crucial role in our chapters performance at Bowling Green. The ideals of Phi Kappa Psi guide us to be honorable, courteous, and cultured brothers of the fraternity.

BGSU Plans to Build New Greek Housing

Bowling Green State University has begun planning a new Greek Village a long overdue housing upgrade for students affiliated with Greek organizations. About 10 percent of BGSUs students are members of Greek organizations, but their housing is badly in need of replacement. In the months ahead, Ohio Zeta will launch a capital campaign to help raise funds for the new Greek Village. The advisory board for the university-led project hopes to break ground in spring 2013. Brand-new facilities impact not only the experience of each fraternity and sorority member, but also the health and future of Greek life on campus. See the story on page 3. Alex Solis, 11-734 asolis@falcon.bgsu.edu

University, Greek Community Plan New Housing

Over the course of this year, the Greek Community at Bowling Green State University has been changing drastically. From great works of philanthropy around the Bowling Green Community to excellent brotherhood/sisterhood relationships across campus, Greek Life at BGSU has certainly been showing the BGSU campus what Greek Life is all about. The positive influence of our Greek community needs to be continued for many years, but should make you proud to say you are a brother of Phi Kappa Psi, initiated by Ohio Zeta. Although the quality of the men is at one of its all-time peaks, the quantity of the men being recruited to join Greek Life is at a certain low. After many months of analysis, Chris Bullins, the Director of Greek Life at BGSU, ascertained that the situation was directly related to the poor housing arrangements the fraternities and sororities are burdened with. With new living facilities being built around campus every few years for independent students, it is harder and harder to interest new freshmen in our chapters when our housing should have been replaced nearly 30 years ago. This is an undeniable problem, and something that needs to be resolved immediately. As Chris Bullins wrote: Throughout the past 18 months, BGSU has engaged external consultants to guide a core team of current undergraduate Greek students, chapter alumni volunteers, and administrators through a process to understand national membership trends within fraternities and sororities. We have also explored how other universities are building residential facilities that meet the needs of todays chapters. We have communicated our findings to current undergraduate chapter members, alumni volunteers (i.e., advisors and house corporation boards), and national office staff members. To access this information, please visit http://www.bgsu.edu/greekhousingproject. At last, a new and exciting Greek Village for the Greek Community at BGSU is in the planning stage. Chris Bullins has taken the necessary first steps to make a dream into a reality. He has assembled a committee that includes BGSU administrators and one representative each from the Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Council, and the Multicultural Council. His hand-picked advisory committee allows students to have a voice in the Greek Village project, and gives student representatives the ability to reach out to the greater student body. The Greek Village will bring Greek Life together from around campus, and give Greek Life at BGSU the up-to-date housing it desperately needs and deserves. At present, the project is in Phase II, determining what requirements a new Greek Life community will have, balancing desired amenities with rental cost, and designing a housing blend that is a best fit. Phase III will involve finding the right partners to make the plan a reality and completing construction. An assortment of building plans is available for viewing on the BGSU website, http://www.bgsu.edu/ greekhousingproject. In addition to housing plans, you will find a wealth of other information, including coverage of the advisory committee meetings and status updates on the project. If you have questions or concerns, or you would like to find out how you can help with the Greek Village project, send me an e-mail at nriley@falcon.bgsu.edu. I hope to hear from you in the near future, and begin to work toward a great new house for our brothers of Phi Kappa Psi! Fraternally, Nathan Riley, 11-733, IFC Representative Greek Housing Project Committee

Spring 2012 Recruitment Update

In the spring semester, we hosted several recruitment events that allowed us to attract the new members we have today. We held a pizza party during the NCAA National Championship football game, and another one to celebrate the Super Bowl. At these gatherings, the brothers met and got acquainted with potential members. The Super Bowl party we held at our oncampus house was actually noticed by the National Fraternity because of the large number of people who showed up. During the summer, chapters will be introduced to the new formal recruitment outline and view online recruitment workshops during scheduled web seminars. IFC has decided that the first week of recruitment will be structured, requiring any male students interested in Greek Life to participate. Judging from the success Ohio Zeta enjoyed this past semester, I am sure the chapter will adapt to the new recruitment style. In this chapter, I am proud to say that recruiting is not a one-man project; instead, it is a part of our lives all 365 days of the year. Everyone in the chapter participated in recruiting during the spring semester, and I expect to see the same amount of member involvement this coming fall. Dan Pesato, 11-738

Chaplain Reports on Brotherhood

The Ohio Zeta Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi implemented the Grievance Committee in the 2012 spring semester, and the committee had its first hearing on April 7. Grievance was put into effect to help brothers stay on track academically, and to provide a system by which brothers can hold one another responsible for their actions. We also held a summer retreat in July to reunite the brothers for a couple of days while everyone is on summer break, and it was a great brotherhood event. Brett Creamer, 11 -730

The Great Joy of Serving Others

Philanthropy Report
This past spring semester, Ohio Zeta continued to build relationships with other fine organizations through philanthropic and community service. In January, we participated in the traditional Martin Luther King, Jr., Day of Service Challenge, which Patrick Grayshaw 09 helped establish four years ago. During the challenge, we volunteered at the Wood County Park District, cleaning seeds and building new benches for the area parks. We have also expanded our relationship with Phi Psis national philanthropic partner, Boys and Girls Clubs of America, an organization that seeks to improve the lives of disadvantaged youth through after-school and extracurricular programs. In March, we visited the North Toledo club to participate in a pool tournament with club members. Playing pool with club members offered an opportunity for us to become better acquainted with the club and with the kids we support. In April, we held our third annual Phi Kappa Psi Raft Race to raise money for the Toledo-area Boys and Girls Clubs. We hope to maintain our relation-ship with the club by volunteering regularly and holding additional philanthropy events for this great cause. Forging new connections in the Greek community, we held a joint philanthropy cookout with Kappa Delta in April, to raise money for Nightingales Harvest, the Toledo-area food bank that assists families recently affected by cancer. I am proud of the work our chapter has been doing in the community, and I look forward to upholding the Phi Psi tradition of the great joy of serving others. Charles Bredenfoerder, 09-711 The third annual Phi Kappa Psi Raft Race raised money for Toledo Boys and Girls Clubs. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America. Men are 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than women are to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Athletes for a Cure is a nonprofit program that uses our love of athletics to save lives through research that will lead to a cure. AFAC raises awareness about the 2 million American men living with prostate cancer and the 30,000 who will die each year. The goal is to be a force of hope and to recruit others to join our cause. The funds raised by Athletes for a Cure go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation to accelerate the most promising prostate cancer research. I am dedicating my 2012 race season to the effort to find a cure, and hope you will support me in reaching my fundraising goal. Matthew Wise, 89-598 * Matt has a personal Athletes for a Cure fund-raising page: http://www.pcf.org/afac12/mseawise
His fund-raising goal is $2,500. In the beginning of August, Matt had completed four races and raised $1,392. Two of his 2012 races remain: the Lake Stevens Olympic Triathlon on September 8, and the Portland Marathon on October 7. Donors can contribute online or download a contribution form from the web page and mail it with a donation.

Ohio Zeta E-Mail:

Matthew Wise Races for a Cure

A message from Matthew K. Wise, 89-598 Dear Brothers: As Phi Kappa Psi was originally founded out of service for others, I thought this may resonate with at least some of you. Over the years, Ive developed into an avid amateur runner and triathlete. Some of you have, as well. I know brother Steiner [David, 86-544] has completed multiple Ironman triathlons, including the biggie in Kona, Hawaii. At any rate, this year Im racing for a higher purpose to raise funds in support of prostate cancer research. This e-mail is addressed to 147 men. According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, one in six men will be affected by this affliction. That means at least 24 of the men from Ohio Zeta to whom Im sending this e-mail will likely have to deal with prostate cancer at some point in their lives. In sum, the races Ive entered this year total approximately 250 miles. My minimum goal is to raise $10 per mile raced.* Prostate cancer hit home for me when my father-in-law was diagnosed in 1997. He fought it and won. Just last year, it returned. But because of early detection, advancing technology, and a lot of prayers he is in remission for a second time. Though were glad grandpa will be with us for awhile longer, the situation remains worrisome for us. Because prostate cancer is hereditary, my son could have to deal with it at some point in his life, as well. Concern for his future motivates me the most.

Brother Buck was profoundly affected by Hurricane Katrina he lost his home and his way of life. His sister-in-law, Ruth Buck, said the hurricane changed everything in our area. His niece, Myra Toner, wrote: Uncle Dub often spoke of his fraternity brothers and friends. When I was in college, he was so good to send me cash for whatever I needed. When he left to come to Alabama to help take care of his parents, our close relationship became even closer. I married and he spent time with my family. As he grew older, my husband and I took care of him. He left Alabama and moved to Mississippi, where he worked and enjoyed life until Hurricane Katrina left him with no home, so he moved into the military retirement home. Uncle Dub was an important person in our lives. Dub was preceded in death by four brothers, Lamar, Gordon, Norman, and Nelson. He is survived by two sisters, Sarah Gilley and Rachel Childers; a dear family friend, Bobby Tuck; and many nieces and nephews. Richard B. Warner, 51-76, of Hudson, Ohio, died February 27, 2011.

He worked as manager of sales promotion, in dealer development and marketing communications at Terex Division of General Motors Corporation, and later, with Terex, Inc. He was a member of the board of directors of the National Sand and Gravel Association and the National Stone Association. Richard and his wife, Barbara, also operated Sugarbush Antiques for many years. After suffering a stroke in 1989, he began to hook rugs and completed 88 rugs for family and friends. In addition to his wife, Richard is survived by two sons, Richard and David; four granddaughters; and one great-granddaughter. Andrew Belokopitsky, 52-90, died December 25, 2010, at the age of 85. Born September 23, 1928, in Colonie, New York, he had resided in the Anderson-Alexandria area of Indiana since 1956. Andy earned a bachelors degree in education at Bowling Green and a masters degree in industrial arts at Ball State University in 1969. He served with the U.S. Army in Germany after WWII. He worked for Excello Corporation until 1981. Survivors include his son, Stephen; two daughters, Linda Norris and Andrea Belokopitsky-Medard; six grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; former wives, Willodene Herrick and Beverly McIntyre; sister, Eugenia Zarachuk; and several nieces and nephews.

Your donations totalled $1,100. Every gift is important, regardless of size or timing, and each helps to support alumni-approved chapter projects and alumni communications. Your alumni board invites you to respond generously to this mailing. Enjoy the Phi Psi Falcon as we attempt to bring you up to date. Name Init. Yr. & No. Lyle E. Schiefer 50 39 Eugene G.

Neuffer 95 692 During the Ohio Zeta rechartering banquet on October 17, 2009, the Phi Kappa Psi Foundation offered to deposit $2,500 in our Chapter Scholarship Fund (CSF) if our alumni could match that amount within one year. We did it and the names of the donors are listed at right, along with an extended list of those brothers who have donated to the Scholarship Fund since we met the challenge from the Phi Kappa Psi Foundation. Ohio Zetas CSF contained $24,645.27 on August 1, 2012. That ranked us 61st among such funds held by all Phi Psi chapters. As of April 6, 2012, donations to the fund since July 2011 totalled $1,293.76. The Phi Psi Foundation makes 5 percent of each CSF available for scholarships to undergraduate Phi Kappa Psi members every year. According to the latest figures available, Ohio Zeta could award about $1,250 in scholarships annually. The Foundation stipulates that individual scholarships be a minimum of $100. The Foundation Trustees have adopted a Total Return philosophy in allocating income for Chapter Scholarship Funds. Each year, the Trustees review all Chapter Scholarship Funds held by the Foundation, and disburse funds according to the amounts that various Phi Psi chapters can use for scholarships. Obviously, as a chapters Scholarship Fund grows, so will the payout. Award payments are made directly to a two- or four-year public or private institution of higher education. House Corporations can borrow from the Phi Kappa Psi Foundation if funds are needed for house renovation or property purchases; however, the transaction must be a safe, business-based loan with marketplace conditions, including a market rate of interest and regular repayment.
