Zeta Psi Pi Kappa Chapter 1969 Project

A letter from Mike Pillagalli:

When we pledged into the Zeta Psi Fraternity of Brotherhood through the Pi Kappa Chapter of Bloomsburg University, we probably did not realize that it is / was a lifelong commitment. For some of us, that goes back to 1969 when it all started and hence the appeal of this brings us through many generations of pledge classes and up to today. How does it make you feel to know that we are a part of the first International Fraternity?

Pi Kappa Chapter has had a successful run for many years and has undergone changes, debts, and lasting memories. The current active status is why we are reaching out to you as an alumnus. The Pi Kappa active chapter has inherited a debt with Zeta Psi National that the present chapter of actives has diligently worked to lessen, but to no final avail. It becomes the mission of the Alumni to help the actives lessen that debt and allow them to enjoy active chapter life without the inherited overhead stress.

The Zeta Psi Pi Kappa Alumni Association is starting a Project 1969 Go Fund Me Program to help the actives pay down what debt still remains. It is up to us, and you, to ensure the sustainability of our past glories, histories, and fun times in brotherhood and to guarantee that our legacy can live on for more pledge classes to experience the same camaraderie as we had and which many still experience today. How many times have you recalled “The Suck” and or “The Clam Bake” at the house?? All funds raised by your generosity will be disbursed to the actives by the Zeta Psi Pi Kappa Alumni Association to help ensure their good standing with National. It is up to us as Alumni, and a “friend of brotherhood”, to help with this current project so that the current actives and the entering pledge classes can have a clear outlook on brotherhood and be knowledgeable of the efforts that brothers from the past 55 years are still trying today to help make a difference which hopefully will guide the actives and prospective pledges on their alumni years after graduation.

This may be your chance to decide to give back to your brotherhood to thank them for the treasured good times and memories of your years as a Zete! We wear our colors and letters so proudly, so let us make sure that we can continue to do that through a contribution today. The chapter has thrived through many good times and a few unfortunate times since 1969, so let us ensure that our generosity can allow it to go on for many years more and continue to generate new members into our brotherhood. That is part of the Zeta Psi Mission Statement; let us do our part in that mission in which we have obligations to our communities at large.
