Zetes Crush RPI's Fire and Life Safety Inspection
The house was recently inspected by a member of RPI's staff for fire protection and life safety issues. We are proud to report that we earned 274 out of 289 points for a score of 95%. The chapter missed a perfect score only because a risk management meeting on campus was missed. Great job by the Property Committee and by the Actives in keeping the house safe.

Old Photos Being Archived
If you like us on Facebook, you may see that we've uploaded several pictures from the 1980s. We have several old photo albums that we have begun scanning and posting. They will also be stored at brothers.pizetes.org as uncompressed files so you can download them if you want. If you want to help caption or identify the pictures, contact us here or at administrator@pizetes.org. Of course, let us know if you have old pictures that we can archive!

Sandy Relief
(The following was written by Brother Michael Perillo-Gentile '11, whose hometown in New Jersey was hit hard by Hurrican Sandy) Dear Brothers:
Hurricane Sandy has caused pain and devastation to families throughout the Northeast that cannot be conveyed through any words. As a native and current resident of the Jersey Shore, I have witnessed firsthand the great suffering that continues to be endured. A great deal of our brothers reside in the Tri-State area and were also affected by the storm. The rebuilding of all the destroyed homes and businesses will take years and requires monetary support.
As a brother of the greatest and most generous Fraternity in the world, I am writing you today to ask you to please contribute to the relief collection that the Pi Chapter of Zeta Psi has established for the hurricane victims. We need to help these people rebuild the lives that the storm stole from them. All of the proceeds go directly to the victims.
We have identified two legitimate charities that will accept tax-deductible donations. Please make checks payable to either "Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund" or "Hope for New York" with "Hurricane Sandy" specified in the memo. Mike Bruce '08 will be collecting all of the checks and mailing them into the proper authorities. You can mail your donations to him at 7 Madden Avenue, Milford, MA 01757, or contact him at mbruce@pizetes.org. Links to both charities can be found below. If you decide to donate online, please let Mike or I know so that we can recognize your donation once the campaign ends.
I want to thank you so much for any amount you can spare during these hard times. You have no idea how much the people affected by the storm will appreciate your support. Feel free to contact me with any questions or thoughts at perilm41@gmail.com. Thanks again and God bless.
In TKPhi, Michael "PG" Perillo-Gentile '11 perilm41@gmail.com

Brother Ljunglin Checking His Email
Property Documents Scanned and Uploaded
We recently scanned and collated all of Jay Webb’s documents dating back to the 1980s. This is a similar effort to what we did with Jim Ljunglin’s files last year. They are posted online at brothers.pizetes.org. The Property folder was completely reorganized as part of this effort. Let us know if things are not intuitive or if you have any suggestions for improvement.

New Facebook Site
We've obtained www.facebook.com/pizetes, so now all of your Pi Chapter news can be found with one moniker. We're also moving our photos from Flickr over to Facebook, so keep looking for those (and some new ones).
No Financial Reports This Month
We cannot publish meaningful Elder financial reports this month. RPI does not provide data as to who has paid and who hasn't, so reports are quite meaningless. Please stay tuned and we will publish them as soon as possible.
Convention is in One Week!
This year's International Convention is in San Francisco, a mere 2,900 miles away! We hope to see everyone there. Here's a shot of Ron Dolfi '75 with some Frisco Zetes (L-R - Davila, Dolfi, Dawyot, Wunderle, Gagas).
