House Mother ReportFall Semester, 2012 has rocketed by with the Men of Alpha Iota Chapter of !eta XI active in all phases of academic and social life here at Kansas State University. Academic expectations are always high and the guys strive to learn and bring home exemplary grades. Socially, the Men of !eta XI know how to handle themselves graciously in social situations. !e Men “get right a"er it” in intramurals whether soccer or football or tennis, or volleyball, or while winning at Intramural swimming. Almost all guys get involved in intramurals either participating or cheering their brothers on.

A traditional highlight of the Fall Semester was our annual Wassail event. !e Men did a tremendous job decorating the gingerbread outline of our House as well as carrying out holiday theme decorations in all their rooms.

!e holiday spirit is evident here at 1803 Laramie. As House Mom it is a delight to live here and visitors are welcomed by the Men of !eta XI.

I could not be prouder of the way the guys step up and pull together to #nish major renovation projects, to work together to select the House Christmas tree, to string a million lights on the roof top, to help each other study, to have fun and to do what it takes to be the best K-Staters and !eta XI Men they can be.

Men, thanks for the excellent Fall Semester, 2012! Let’s have another amazing semester in the Spring of 2013, and, of course, GO CATS! Sincerely, Mom Rose

As another semester comes to a close at !eta Xi, we can’t help but look back at our great accomplishments and strides we’ve made through the year. With a new advisor at the helm

we continue to try and improve upon the foundation of success laid down before us by past brothers. We began the semester with the news that Je$ Gill would not be able to continue his role as advisor. As Je$ ’s business con-tinues to expand and take more of his time and e$ort we wish him the best. Taking over for Je$ is Phil Ryan. Phil has done a great job of stepping in right where Je$ le" o$. We are very con#dent of his abilities to keep us on the right track. Next we looked upon our marvelous performance in grades. We placed second behind farmhouse with a 3.428 grade point average. While we are aware that

this is better than the semesters that won !eta Xi #rst place in grades years ago, we all made the commitment to never settle when we #rst joined !eta Xi. With a grade check of 3.55 heading into #nals week we appear to be very well on our way to retaking the #1 spot in grades. !eta Xi continues to be well known for its scholarly members on and around campus. !e Vice President of Student Life, Pat Bosco, has been quoted by freshman Will Schneider as

saying that !eta Xi is the all around best house on campus.

We had a very successful intramural season as well this fall. We made it to the quarter#nals in soccer, the play-o$s in volleyball, and won the Swim Meet for a third time in four years. We also placed #rst in the punt, pass, and kick competition, #rst in the cross country meet, top #ve in the three point competition, and we had multiple individual champions as well. !eta Xi also took up a new philanthropy this year. We partnered with Kappa Kappa Gamma again to form Wildcat Gladiators. !is consists of a bounce house, a jousting platform, and an array of other in%at-able obstacle courses. In just its #rst year it still raised $900 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and Manhattan Public Libraries. We can’t wait to see how much it will grow when we host it next fall. We are currently in a very good position at !eta Xi. We’ve been doing very well in grades and intramurals while still maintaining a positive and care free atmosphere. We also continue the traditions of Wet N’ Wild, Tu$y Strut, and Semi Formal. If you have any questions or every want to drop by and see the house please feel free to do so. !ere is nothing that puts a smile on my face like meet-ing with brothers and exchanging stories. As I watched the new associate class acquaint themselves at !eta Xi I can’t help but think of our core values: justice, putiry, unity, and truth. Our new initiates have taken it upon themselves to embody these values each and every day. !e more things change at !eta Xi, the more they stay the same. As time goes on we continue to take grades very seriously, and strive to be successful at each and every turn of our lives. YITB, Austin Davis A.I. 954

Scholarship

Homecoming

Treasurer


COMITTEE REPORTSLooking back on the previous semester, these committees have great news to report!

Brothers,

I have recently been installed as Scholarship Chair and have been very impressed so far with what I’ve seen. At the "rst grade check, our house GPA was a 3.48. Halfway through the semester, our GPA dropped to a 3.33. Yet on our "nal grade check of the semester, we had a house GPA of 3.54. We will soon know what our GPA for the semester is, but I am predicting a 3.47. I believe that last semester’s loss by .001 kept us on track this semester and made us want to prove what we could do. From what I’ve seen, our brotherhood has grown tremendously through our academic pride. Brothers have gone out of their way and put their own studies aside in order to assist those who need academic help. Instead of having many individuals focused on their personal academics, we have become one house and brotherhood who cares greatly about the academic prog-ress of everyone involved. An aspect in our house that was very poor in the past was the organization of our study "les. Before !anksgiving break, I stayed to re-organize, "le, and go through the old study material. It took some time, but it is now in great shape and will hopefully help our present and future brothers succeed in academics.

Brothers,

My name is Matt Brill and I have just taken over as the Treasurer for !eta Xi. I am very fortunate in the fact that Brother Derek Surdez and others before him did a fantastic job of keeping our records well and putting our house in a very preferable "scal spot. Our fall semester budgets are well under in almost every single category, and we are looking to "nish well above the end of semester number that Brother Surdez originally planned for. !is past semester, we were able to completely remod-el the women’s restroom and the Alpha room’s restroom as well. We were also able to install a mop sink in the kitchen as well as leasing a new printer for the lobby and copier for the basement computer room. !e greatest part of all of this is that we were able to do these things in a very "scally responsible way. We also increased house bills for the "rst time in recent history because of the addition of Chartwell’s catering service for meals at the house. !is increase was received well by members as the increase only covered this increase necessary to pay for the Chartwell’s services. As for this upcoming semester, I plan to capitalize on the "nancial strength of the house. We are looking into several di#erent projects for the house and how to "nance them. I want to make sure that we can do these projects without risking the "nancial strength of the house. I also want to make sure that all budgets are properly calculated to let each committee do what they need to ensure the advancement of our house. Overall, our house is doing very well "nancially, and with the continued support of Alumni and making smart deci-sions with our money, we can continue to be "nancially strong into the future.

Brothers, !e theme of homecoming this year was, “Wildcat Adventures” and our partners for the week were Sigma Chi Fraternity and Alpha Del-ta Pi Sorority. !ey were both great partners and I believe all the guys in the house had a good time getting to know some new guys and girls in the greek community. As for placing in actual events, we didn’t do poorly, but we weren’t quite as successful as we thought we were going to be in some aspects. In Pant the Chant and

Wildcat Request Live, we did not place in the top "ve, which was a real bummer for us. However, Connor Colboch helped to secure a "rst place "nish for the Spirit Sign competition. If it wasn’t for this, we might not have gotten fourth place overall in Homecoming, which is a pretty good place to end up. All in all, this year proved to be a fun time for all, and I look forward to next year and the, “ad-ventures” that will follow.

L(7·6 FIESTA!With such a phenomenal season of college football this Fall, let’s take a look at how the Alpha Iota has celebrated, spectated, and participated in the Wildcat’s historic season!

Tailgating to the Max!

Cheering on the Cats

Written by Spencer Low A.I. 959 !is season, we had the privilege to cheer on the best team in the Big XII, which you can read all about on this page, but if there is one thing that is as much fun as cheering our Cats on from the stands, it’s tailgating before going into the games. We all have some voracious appetites, which calls for some hearty food to give us the en-ergy to provide the best atmosphere in the Midwest once the opening kicko" is under way. Luckily for us, we had two world-class kitchen managers: Joel Morgan and Gordon Harton, who served up gour-met-quality food that would have made even the #nest of fans proud. From mac

and cheese to brats and dogs, we certainly had plenty of good eats, and nothing came close to the chili we had for a couple games. Our Dad’s Day tailgate may have been the best of all though. A feast of bratwurst and hot dogs gave us the energy to go toe-to-toe in our annual washers tournament, which turned out to be the thriller that it is every year. On three brand-new sets of washer boards, made by our own Jameson Nyp, we teamed up with our fathers and embarked on the ultimate alpha-male competition. By some act of God, two freshmen played their way into the #nals: Matt McMillen and Kevin Klein. Klein got the better of Mc-Millen and with only a minimal amount of trash talking took the glory for the Klein family.

Needless to say, the upperclassmen veterans were quite disappointed at being upstaged by two new members of the house. Few things can rouse a group of young men at the crack of dawn like college football, and this season, !eta Xi rose to the task and cheered on the Wild-cats to a whole lot of wins. Any time alumni and families are in town for the game, we always welcome you to stop by our tailgate. !ey are always some of the most exciting mornings in Manhattan.

A group of Theta Xi brothers makes it on ESPN for spelling out “FIESTA” at the Texas game where we became Big 12 Champions.

Written by Kevin Klein A.I. 988

!e roar of the crowd from Bill Snyder Family Stadium during a Kansas State home game is usually a deafening sound, but on a certain December night, it was even louder than normal. You see, on this fateful December night, the Wildcats were battling against the Texas Longhorns. If the Cats won, they would be Big Twelve Champions and would be venturing to Arizona to play in the BCS Fiesta Bowl. It was one of the biggest games of the season. It’s been a well-loved tradi-tion of !eta Xi to go to as many of the home football games as possible in order to take part in the sport that brings pretty much the entire campus together. With such an incredible last season for many of K-State’s #nest, such as Colin Klein and Arthur Brown, it was certainly a great year to be a Wildcat. Despite the loss to Baylor in Waco, Texas, the Wildcats knew that

there was still a lot on the line for the Texas game, which was their last home game of the season. !eta Xi knew how important this game was as well and despite the forecast for a chilly night, some of the men got painted up for the game. !ey wrote K-STATE on the front of their six bodies and on the back, they wrote FIESTA, to signify the bowl game that was within our reach. However, there was one !eta Xi at the game that most of you know was not sitting in the stands, but rather standing on the side-lines. Stanton Weber, Sophomore in Accounting, #nds playing time under Bill Snyder on the special teams and as a wide receiver. When asked about the cheering he o$en hears from his fellow brothers whenever he is in the game, Stanton said, “ It always puts a smile on my face. It makes me realize that my brothers are here not only to support the team, but me as an

individual.” !ere’s a lot of truth to that statement. When I go out to a game with my brothers in the house, it’s an opportunity to cheer the Wildcats on to another victory as well as to cheer on a particular player who I know and care about very much. It’s about pushing him to do his best and letting him know that !eta Xi has his back.


WILDCAT GLADIATORSThe new philanthropy hits the ground running and

accomplishes more than it had originally set out to do!

Gladiators in Action

Hard Work Pays Off

A Succesful Outing For All

Picture this: Two "erce competitors in the middle of a ring, armed with a cumbersome and heavy weapon, ready to swing at one another until they are knocked from the pedestal upon which they stand. At "rst glance, this might seem like an ancient battle in the Roman Coliseum, but a#er a closer look, this is actually a description of the Alpha Iota’s new philanthropy event known as Wildcat Gladiators. As we have done in the past, !eta Xi fraternity here at K-State has teamed up with Kappa Kappa Gamma to put on an event to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in order to do our part in "nding a cure for this detrimental disease. In years prior, we as a chapter have put on events such as Earth ball and a Dodgeball tournament, but the philanthropy committee wanted to try something new this year. Jacob Mueller, Alex Burnett, Jack Dunn, and Chance Berndt were the young men of the Alpha Iota who put the most time and e$ort out of everyone in the house into Wildcat Gladiators. !ey wanted to put our philanthropy on the map. People that attended Wildcat Gladiators this year were given the opportunity to take part in a series of activities that tested their strength, precision, and determination. Whether it was the in%atable obstacle course, or the moon bounce, or the bungee run, people put their hearts into it! It was a gauntlet of events that ranked the participants for the "nal event: !e Gladiator Ring. Depending on their ranking, the participants were given a certain seed for the "nal tournament where the victor would have a trophy, a bucket of candy, and the glory of being the last gladiator standing. People de"nitely enjoyed going through the events and watching the "nal match ups as people swung away at each other and tried to outlast their opponents in a battle of balance and strength. !e philanthropy itself was a tremendous success in more ways than one. First o$, the amount of money we raised overall from the event, selling t-shirts, and receiving donations came to a total of $900. But secondly, and almost equally as important was that we certainly got the word out and "gured out what worked and what didn’t. Next year’s Wildcat Gladiators will de"nitely bene"t from all the hard work that was done on the philanthropy this past Septem-ber. !e gladiators will be hungry for victory next year, and we will get one step closer to defeating MS once and for all.

Derek Feist explains a little bit more about our philanthropy to a few

participants.

Brothers, !is was both my "rst year as Philanthropy Chair, and, more important-ly, our "rst year hosting Wildcat Gladia-tors. Wildcat Gladiators, the newest (and in our opinion, best) event at K-State, was de"nitely a wild ride, starting back in the middle of the spring semester of 2012. Jacob Mueller and Alex Burnett were throwing around some ideas, when the concept of Wildcat Gladiators popped

up. A#er talking to Gina Kirkwood, the President of Kappa Kappa Gamma, they decided to go ahead and start planning a new philanthropy. Over the summer of 2012, Jacob, Alex, Gina and I started to brainstorm the speci"cs of what we wanted this new event to look like. In addition, Jack Dunn, who was a new associate in the house this year, had to step up as Co-Philanthropy Chair. From calling

up di$erent in%atable compa-nies, to trying to "gure out what games we were going to use, it was a busy time! One huge plus was the acquisition of Red Bull as an o&cial sponsor! Every-thing picked up even more once we got back to K-State. Between asking business-es for donations, thinking up designs for the logo, and all the other tasks needed to ensure our event ran smoothly, time %ew by, until it was "nally the day of Wildcat Gladiators! Brothers started setting up in the park at 10 in the morning, and the event started to roll. Over the course of the day, we had around thirtyparticipants. but the amount of

merchandise and donations we received enabled us to donate over $900 to !e National Multiple Sclerosis Society! Even though this was one of our most successful philanthropies out of the past few years, there’s always room to improve. We’ve been looking at better ways to advertise the event, partnerships with companies for donations and in%atables, and many other methods to make this something to get excited about at K-State. All I can say is to look forward to the future, and watch what all we can do!

Changes in theKitchen

*LUO·V�5HVWURRP�&RPSOHWH

With Christmas right around the corner here at the Alpha Iota chapter, the holiday spirit is found in abundance. People are singing and listening to Christmas Carols, lights are strung throughout the hallways and along the outside of our home, and everyone seems to have a cer-tain amount of cheer that comes out only around Decem-ber. 1803 Laramie Street is a great place to be year round, but during the Christmas season things seem to just get better. However, not everyone gets nearly as excited as we do about the holidays. !ere are people in the Manhattan area that have fallen on hard times and are unable to provide gi"s for their loved ones during Christmas time. It really puts a damp-er on the time of year that is supposed to be #lled with so much joy. !ese families need help, and a certain organi-zation called Angel Tree is there to lend a hand. Angel Tree helps these underprivileged families to the best of their ability. !ey make sure that Christmas is a great time of year for everyone, and not just those of us that are fortunate enough to a$ord all of our expensive gi"s. How was our house involved in this situation? Gordon Harton and Chance Berndt, two young men who are always looking to improve the house, came to the rest of the Alpha Iota with a mission. We were going to help Angel Tree with its mission. !ey brought with them a sheet of gi"s from Angel Tree with a list of presents that children around the area really wanted. !ings such as a football, Connect Four, a Yankees hat, and nail polish are a part of the list. !e problem was, there were a lot of them who didn’t have someone listed next to them, which means that no one had volunteered to get them the gi" they so greatly desired. !is is where the men of !eta Xi stepped in. !rough the generosity of the members of the Al-pha Iota, we were able to provide Christmas gi"s for #"een young boys and girls in the Manhattan area, which is an incredible accomplishment. To say that we helped well over a dozen children really enjoy Christmas and experience what it feels like to have Santa visit is something I am very proud of. !ese children also helped us to understand that the true spirit of this season is the spirit of giving.


Take a look at some changes the kitchen, a hefty project completed, and a great example of the generosity the Alpha Iota is capable of.

Brothers,

Over the past two semesters, I have implemented many historic changes to the house. !e biggest change was the removal of a personal cook. We have been experiencing many issues over the last two years and it was time to take a di$erent direction. I hired the union conract corporation Chartwell’s to oversee the dinner operation. !ere has been a lot of success with the company and dinner attendance is drastically increased. !ey also added the cost of the lunch meal plan into our contract, so in the event that we decided to deviate tfrom catering we will need to restructure a meal plan with the union. With the help of A.I. 968 we managed to implement an Emergency Response Plan and an HACCP plan for the house. !e emergency response plan includes the neccessary procedures to follow in the midst of a speci#c event. !e HACCP plan is a procedural document stating the neccessary temperatures and steps taken to prevent food borne illnesses and outbreaks. !ese are just a few of the improvements I have made for the betterment of the brotherhood here at !eta Xi.

Brothers,

To ful#ll my goal of renovating all of the bathrooms within my time in the house, there were only two more to go. !e guest bathroom on the #rst %oor and the bathroom in the Alpha room were in desperate need of some help. I have to thank all of the Alumni for approving funding and making this happen.!e women’s bathroom’s design was inspired from the new Hilton hotel in Manhattan. It features tile on the %oor and walls as well as a knockdown texture on the drywall surfaces. It also has a mosaic feature wall with all new light #xtures, electrical, plumb-ing lines, and a matching pedestal sink and toilet. One word to describe the new bathroom would be “classy.”!e Alpha room bathroom is also receiving an overhaul with new electrical, plumbing lines, sink, toilet, cabinet, and shower. Both projects couldn’t have been completed with all of the help from guys in the house.

In Other News...An Informative Night

Intramural Success

See what else is going on at 1803 Laramie, including a visit from the RCPD and our great acheivments in intramurals this past semester.

A"er dinner, the o#cers stood in the dining room and gave a short presentation about their recommendations and thoughts for fraternities. !ey allowed a majority of the time for question and answer. !e brothers asked the o#cers about their daily routine, what they like about their job, and why they are working in the law en-forcement. !ey gave some interesting answers and said their favorite part of the job is working with the locals and being paid to help others. We learned a lot from them, especially what to do during social events. !ey explained step by step what they look for and do when on duty and at a social event. When they were done with their question and answer they proceeded to give us their contact information and told us their ID number. !ey said if we have any questions to contact them or if there was ever a problem we could request them from the operator. Needless to say, it never hurts to have a couple police o#cers on your side and hopefully we will never need to contact them.

A constant cat and mouse game ceases for a night of information and tips, when we invited three local Riley County Police O#cers to our house for dinner. One night, Brother Mueller began casually talking to a cop who expressed an interest in making a better connection with the Greek community when he found out Brother Mueller was a member of !eta Xi. !is o#cer is in charge of the RCPD twitter account and is challenging himself to make a visit to each Greek house. Our goal in having these o#cers over for dinner was to make a better personal connection with the local law enforce-ment. We thought it would be bene$cial as well to pick their brains and hear a little bit from their perspective. As expected, many of the brothers felt uncomfortable initially. It’s not every day you invite three police o#cers into your house for dinner. A"er some casual conversation during dinner the brothers began to loosen up to them.

Written by Gordon Harton A.I. 968

The RCPD joined us for dinner and answered many of our questions about the laws in Manhattan.

The First Place Swim Team The First Place XC Team

Brothers, It was another successful semester in !eta Xi intra-murals. Currently, our hard working house is holding on strong to 4th place in the standings. !is year we are dominating the smaller sports while still playing tough in the main events as well. !e House %ag football team had another solid season just coming up short of the playo&s in the last game. !e soccer team managed to have another great year despite some rainouts and terrible $eld conditions. !ey ended up losing their $rst game in the playo&s but the fans were there to cheer them on all the way.

On the other hand, we de$nitely shined in the in-dividual sports. Derek Nold, Gordon Zimmerman, Joel Morgan, and Jonathan Pyle %ew above the rest in the Punt, Pass, and Kick contest. Derek Nold $nished $rst overall to lead the team to our $rst Intramural Champs of the year. In the 1 on 1 basketball tournaments we had an overall strong e&ort with Gabriel Noll getting to the elite eight and Austin Davis making the sweet sixteen in the six foot and over league. !e blazing fast freshman Blake Evans lead the way this year earning his way to the $nal four and missing the championship

by just a hair. !is semester we welcomed a !eta Xi, Matt Don, all the way from Washington University. He along with Gordon Harton decided to bring !eta Xi tennis back while making it to the $nal rounds in the singles tournament. !e big-gest surprise of the semester will probably have to go to the cross country team for $nishing $rst overall. !e mad cross-terrain runners consisted of Blake Evans, Matt Brill, Scott Holm, and Gabriel Noll. !e most de$ning moment of autumn goes to the Olympic-like swim team of !eta Xi for giving us our third

Intramural Champions of the semester. !is strong group had top placers in almost every single event of the meet. As a House, we ex-perienced quite a bit of excitement while dealing with a lot of ups and downs throughout the Intramu-ral season. Our brothers brought in many hard

earned championships but none of it went on without the fantastic support in the crowd from the other dedicated brothers. !e oncoming semester is look-ing to be an interesting one with basketball and so"ball returning all of their starters with the addition of fresh new talent as well. We look forward to more victories and championships for !eta Xi.

Brothers,

When I "rst became a member of the Alpha Iota lodge of the !eta Xi fraternity, I knew that I want-ed to make sure that I was doing my part to lead our house in the succesful direction it has become so familiar with over the years. !is brotherhood that we "nd ourselves in is something that sets us apart, something with ties stronger than that of ordinary friend-ship. I wanted to thank all of you for the foundation you helped to build while you were living at 1803 Laramie. Without you, the house would not be what it is today, and everyone here is thankful for your leadership and example.

Meet your new Executive Board and Initiates from this Fall!

!ere are many exciting things that I see our new Executive Board capable of acheiving. We have a good even spread across the di#erent grades with two juniors, three soph-omores, and two freshman. I believe this might be one of the best combina-tions because it will allow all di#erent types of perspectives to have a say in the matters that Exec will deal with. !e fact of the matter is that this house is constantly trying to be the best in all the areas that it can. Wheth-er its obtaining the best grades and learning for the sake of learning, giving back to the community and those that need the most help, or being actively involved on campus and representing what it means to be a !eta Xi in many

di#erent organizations, we are always doing our best. Always. With great examples to look to from the previous year, this new Exec will bring fresh and invigorating ideas to the table. Not only will there be a great amount of ideas, but also a great amount of willingness to work. !is Exec will strive to help one another with their duties and ensure the betterment of the brotherhood for all the members in this house. !e future is bright for the Alpha Iota Lodge, and I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of it. YITB, Kevin Klein A.I. 988
