Coming out of homecoming week one might have thought that stu-

dents on campus would take a chance to relax. For the Brothers of Pi

Kappa Phi this was not the case. Pi Kapp took campus by storm in

this years annual no boundaries week. Each day, planned meticulous-

ly by Push Chair Kenny Day and Senior Member Patrick Sponsler, end-

ed in success. This year’s No Boundaries Week introduced a lot of

“firsts”. Our first Pi Kappa Phrie sale raised over $500 for Push Ameri-

ca with a line that stayed strong late in to the night. At our first Miss

Push Pageant, crowds were wowed by impressive performances that

truly highlighted the empathy and abilities that Push America is really

about. The week was closed with an accessibility day. In partnership

with the student government and Sara Spins, Pi kapp passed out over

900 t-shirts to students asking them to wear them and avoid taking

inaccessible routes for the day.

No Boundaries Week 2013 A Huge Success

Member Spotlight

Logan Nagel

ϴ#76

Logan joined the Theta Chapter in Spring of 2013 as the second member to sign in the Epsilon Class. As a leader of University Honors Retreats, Bearcast Radio Personality, PACE leader, and teacher at Breakthrough Cincinnati. it was immediately evident he would be a perfect fit for our fraternity of Lead-ers. Logan has shown him-self as not only a leader of his class but also as a lead-er of our fraternity as a whole. In his first week after initiation he wowed the chapter with a very impressive plan for rituals and brotherhood and was elected into the executive council as the Theta Chap-ters newest Chaplain. As one of two members in the Epsilon class to hold an EC position, great things are expected from him.

The Pi Alpha Hat Trick

Trivia Question: Aside from being

mentioned by Dr. Lori Hart as

having the best risk management

in the country, having both the

Push America volunteer of the

year, and the Alumni Volunteer of

the year, what does the University

of Cincinnati chapter have that no

other chapter of any fraternity in

the nation can boast? The answer

is having a perfect pi alpha streak.

Since the re-charting of the Theta

chapter at least one brother has

participated in Push America’s

hallmark summer events every

year. Pictured above are the chap-

ters three current Pi Alpha’s Ken-

ny Day, Michael McMahon, and

Zachary Wiles. Combined the

three have raised over $11,000

dollars for Push America. This

streak does not appear to be end-

ing any time soon as the chapter

has 4 brothers registered to partici-

pate in events this summer.

2821 W. Clifton Takes on New Form

While a house does not define a fraternity, it certainly can be used to send a message. This is espe-cially the case with a house as close to campus as ours is. The message that 2821 W. Clifton sent when we first moved in was not very welcoming with a gravel side yard, overcrowded parking, worn and bare walls, and tattered carpet. With a little TLC, and a lot of help from Parents and alumni, this is no longer the case. Thanks to Alumni Member Mike Stanton and Family our main areas have walls in col-ors that celebrate the traditions of our university and our fraternity. Other improvements include, the dedication of the pool room walls to recognizing Push America ac-complishments, dedicating the liv-ing room to the individual accom-plishments of our members, con-structing a new patio, and creating a fenced area to hide the garbage cans. While simple, these changes have played a major role in mak-ing our chapter more outwardly inviting.
