Virginia Campus, AM activities all

over DC, and the beginnings of a

chapter at GW rushed back and

filled me with happiness. I was

the very first person to be asso-

ciated with the GW Associate

Chapter, as I was asked to be the

Chapter Advisor before an inter-

est group was even formed. (I

was wrapping up my MBA at GW

in 2001.) This progression from a

sometimes-struggling Associate

Chapter, to a dominant chapter

at GW, is truly something for the

Brothers of Theta Zeta to be

proud of!

Thank you to all the alumni who

came and visited us at the BBQ!

We hope to see you at our up-

coming events next Spring!

GW and Theta Zeta welcomed

back its graduates for the 150th

alumni reunion in September.

Our own Chapter alumni, young

and old, returned to campus for

the occasion as the Chapter

kicked off another year of Broth-

erhood and welcomed the Mu

class to their first day of the fall

Associate Member period!

As GW proudly celebrated this

weekend, Theta Zeta was well

represented at every single

Greek alumni event.

We invited all our alumni over

for a great BBQ organized by

Brotherhood Chair Josh Patchus.

When asked about their impres-

sions of the Chapter, here’s what

your fellow alumni had to say

about the event:

“It was a lot of fun seeing guys

from every graduation year, from

the founding fathers to the Epsi-

lons.” Jeff Stomel, Epsilon Class

“[GW’s Alumni Weekend] was

the first time I had set foot in the

house, having moved from DC

right before the house was

opened. It was such a great ex-

perience, to see the fruit of the

Founding Father’s labor, in the

form of not just a beautiful chap-

ter house—but a strong chapter.

Memories of meetings in the

Marvin Center and brother’s

apartments (Jordan Sekulow—

WOW!), a chapter retreat at the

As many of you have heard, the Chapter

purchased a new television for the first

floor with the help of our alumni after

the old one went into retirement after

five years of service. We are grateful to

all the alumni who helped make this hap-

pen by making a donation to Theta Zeta:

Andrew Hodes

Wes Johnson

Evan Dean

Mark Loucas

Cam Johnson

Adam Wallick

Marc Boom

Andrew Morris

Marc Abanto

Chris Singel

Tom Scazzafavo

Andrew Miller

Daryl Muller

Marc Knox

Special thanks to Daryl and Wes, who

also drove us to pick up the TV just be-

fore Fall rush began!

As the first major giving campaign for an

item needed at the house, all of the

Brothers appreciate the generosity and

interest that our growing alumni base has

shown in the past year. In the past year,

a general increase in alumni involvement

has helped provide one more resource

for a Chapter that strives to be a leader

among GW’s Fraternities.

In addition to the television, we wanted

to thank several other alumni for their

contributions in the past year. Chris Mika

and Wes Johnson have helped the Chap-

ter maintain a website in the past year

that can be viewed at www.pikappgw.org.

Marc Boom, Chris Barajas, and Chris

DiBitetto all made contributions to the

Chapter history book and came back to

offer the chapter many burned CDs

worth of photographs. Their generosity

these has helped the Brothers pass along

the Chapter’s proudest moments to the

to each new Associate Member class and

we thank all the alumni who made it pos-

sible.

We would also like to thank Marc Knox

for his generosity and help as the chapter

has begun to start a fund for a foosball

table in the basement.

We hope that in the coming year, your

involvement and our alumni programming

will only continue to increase. If you

have any suggestions, contact our histo-

rian at [email protected].

Two Actives and an Alumni get Ready to Ride If you graduated a few years ago, you may

have never met Matt Casale (Theta

Class) and Rich Alexander (Kappa Class),

who will be riding across the country and

representing our Chapter as members of

the Journey of Hope this summer.

A name you are more likely to recognize

is Adam Wallick, who will be our first

Chapter Brother to participate in the

Journey of Hope as an alumni in the sum-

mer of 2009!

The Journey of Hope is an annual cross-

country cycling trip to raise funds and

awareness for Pi Kappa Phi’s philan-

thropy, Push America. Everyone at Theta

Zeta is proud to have Matt, Rich and

Adam representing our Chapter on this

life-changing experience and we wish

them the best of luck!

Each participant must raise $5,000 for

Push America before they start peddling,

however. We hope you will visit their

websites to sponsor their efforts:

13,000 miles on it!

Thomas Scazzafavo: from Foggy Bottom to the Far East


By Thomas Scazzafavo

Theta Zeta Founding Father

It was a quick transition from living at

607C 23rd Street, partying with the Broth-

ers, and going to class when I felt like it, to

getting my commission in the Navy, gradu-

ating, flying to Bahrain, and being in the

real world. As most of the Brothers who

were around in 2005 know, it was a quick

10 days after graduation and I seamlessly

dropped off the face of the earth. I had

received my orders to report to Bahrain

and meet my ship, USS O’KANE, a guided-

missile destroyer home ported in Pearl

Harbor. Cheese and Mark Swartz brought

me to the airport, and a quick 19 hours

later I was in the heart of the Middle

East.

I met my ship and soon after I was given a

quick lesson in maritime operations,

mostly involved in protecting the Iraqi oil

terminals of KAAOT and ABOT, keeping

the Iranians in check, and conducting Mari-

time Interdiction Operations (MIO). 5

months later, my ship was back in Hawaii,

and I was left wondering where all the

time had gone. Little did I know, a quick

14 months later, I would be back in Gulf

with the JOHN C. STENNIS CARRIER

STRIKE GROUP.

Between deployments, I was living the

dream in Hawaii. I shared a beautiful

house with some buddies, overlooking the

beaches and ocean. Nearly everyday was

spent at the beach, either surfing or enjoy-

ing a book and some music. When work

called, I was quickly thrust into the world

of MIO. My Arabic skills made me a hot

commodity, and I was sent all over with a

team of 20 other guys to a series of Black

Water USA schools (yes, that Black Wa-

ter) to learn close-quarter combat, intelli-

gence collection, and interrogations. All of

this would prove to pay off ten-fold on the

next deployment.

In January 2007, USS O’KANE left Hawaii

and steamed non-stop to the Persian

Gulf. It felt like déjà vu; we were once

again involved in protecting the Iraqi oil

terminals, keeping the Iranians in check,

and conducting Maritime Interdiction Op-

erations. This time, however, I was an

integral part of the process. As the Board-

ing Officer, I was charged with planning

every MIO mission that USS O’KANE

conducted, which ended up totaling over

120. We would approach everything from

fishing dhows and coastal merchants, to

large oil tankers. Our job was to first

check for illegal weapons, drugs (mainly

hashish being smuggled out of Pakistan),

smuggling, and human trafficking. Our

secondary mission, if the vessels checked

out alright, was to educate them on the

mission of the Coalition (meaning not just

the US Navy, but over 20 other nations

with assets in the region) was to keep the

sea lanes open, by which we enforced

maritime laws as well as offered assis-

tance. While most of what occurred can’t

be talked about, I will say that it was an

incredible experience where I actually

used what I learned in college, and I felt

like I was making a difference in the

world. By the end of the deployment, I

had matured into a knowledgeable and

professional Naval Officer.

27 months after I reported aboard

O’KANE, it was time for me to move to

my next duty station: USS BLUE RIDGE,

an amphibious command and control ship

home ported in Yokosuka, Japan. I was to

report as Navigator, a highly-respected job

since it is charged with planning and driv-

ing all of the transits for the flagship of the

Commander, U.S. Seventh Fleet, a three-

star admiral. The mission of BLUE RIDGE

was a complete 180 from what I was used

to. Instead of being at sea for long periods

of time and executing traditional maritime

missions, I was now charged with being at-

sea for shorter periods of time, either

running a major multi-national exercise or

making port visits throughout Asia to pro-

mote cooperation between nations. This

meant lots of VIPs visiting and hosting

diplomatic receptions throughout Asia.

Living in Japan has been amazing. Whether

I am in a foreign port or at home in Japan,

I am living and breathing a different cul-

ture. A train ride to Tokyo is a mere 40

minutes away, and it is easily on of the top

cosmopolitan cities in the world. I have

been exposed to a new culture, and I have

spent every minute trying to learn more. I

have seen a side of another nation that the

tourist doesn’t, because this is my home.

My short three and a half years in the

Navy have been amazing. I have done

things that some people could never imag-

ine, many which I can’t talk about. I have

visited over 20 different countries, includ-

ing visiting Ravi in his homeland of Singa-

pore. I have met world leaders and seen

history in the making. I have grown to

love the Navy and the US even more, and I

see a very enjoyable and prosperous ca-

reer in the future.

My positive attitude and motivation about

the Navy can be attributed to my times at

GW and as a Pi Kapp. Going through

ROTC during two very unpopular wars

was not an easy feat, with many people

calling us midshipmen Baby Killers and

other colorful phrases. Yet, I knew that

when I stepped inside the house and was

around my Brothers, I need not

worry. While many of you guys opposed

the war and the politics of the day, you

supported me and my choice to pursue a

military career. That’s not a thing I can say

about some of my other ROTC friends

who were in fraternities. That’s what

makes us Pi Kapps different.

sory Board Company, a health care solu-

tions firm, as an Associate Director in our

Member Services department. If any recent

grads or current brothers are interested in

learning more about job opportunities at

the Advisory Board, please have them con-

tact me directly. It's a great place to work

right out of school for those interested in

health care or higher education research,

health care consulting, or entry-level mar-

keting and sales positions. “

highlight was obviously being the only Jew

to do a reading in the church. I'm also

going to Austin in a couple weeks to visit

Aaron Papermaster and we're going to the

UT/Mizzou game. I also won the alumni

fantasy baseball league this year, which is

exciting for me. I'm on my way to being

more dominant than Jordan Katz. If any

alums are lawyers and have some sort of

summer associate hookup, that would be

awesome.”

Matt Steinhelfer lives in Arlington and, in

addition to working in the Department of

State in the Bureau of Democracy, Human

Rights and Labor, he is now working on a

Georgia. He's planning a jump to entertain-

ment hosting as soon as the economy set-

tles down/picks back up and the right of-

fer's on the table. He visited the chapter

over the summer and was very impressed

with not only the progress the brothers

have made since he graduated in '05, but

also the condition of the house. He still

cringes everytime someone mentions the

name Hodes though. He wishes everyone

the best both with school and the brother-

hood.

Push during the semesters, which is

much more than previous spring to-

During my past spring and fall semes-

ter as archon, Theta Zeta has seen

some great achievements. Although

we were sad to say goodbye to 33

seniors from the Delta, Epsilon, Zeta

and Eta classes at the end of Spring

2008, that semester was still one of

the best ever. The chapter took enor-

mous steps in planning social functions,

brotherhood events, and bringing in

another fantastic class at rush. Spring

2008 was the most active social se-

mester Pi Kapp had had up to that

gramming and best ever War of the

Roses were among the highlights. For

the first time in our history, WotR

rasied clost to $4,500. That is a num-

ber we can all be proud of. Our social

calendar has also been built upon from

the previous best. We had some sort

of event with eight of the nine sorori-

ties on campus. Fall 2008 was truly a

semester that Pi Kapp should be

proud of. I’m sure that the next ar-

chon, Bobby Roglieri, will continue to

build upon the success we’ve had.
