A Letter From The Board
By Tom Siegel tsiegel338@wowway.com
On February 16th the new Alumni Board met for their first meeting at the Strongsville Library. Elections for officers of the board were held making Tom Siegel President, Ralph McNerney Vice President, Frank Papa Treasurer and Bob Dolan Secretary.
The next order of business included a discussion of goals for the future of Ohio Nu and the necessary committees needed for us to carryout plans to reach them. The following committees were formed with a board member chairing or sitting on each committee.
Re-colonization Committee - Chairman Ralph McNerney ralph@utdallas.edu
Primary goal is to restart an active chapter at CSU. Major activities will be to develop relations with SPE National and CSU. Other activities will include communications with the SPE Regional Governor, CSU Leaders, Alumni Association, Student Life Staff and Greek Life Coordinator.
Administration Committee – Bob Dolan bdolan1@sbcglobal.net
Primary goal is to expand our communications to all Ohio Nu Alumni possible. Major activities will be to build, update and maintain an accurate Data Base and Home Page. Other activities will include the News Letter, Facebook and communications to Alumni.
Fundraising and Scholarships – Frank Papa fpapajr@yahoo.com
Primary goal is to increase the funds available to the Ohio Nu Alumni for Alumni Operations, Active Chapter Operations and Scholarships. Activities will include developing and holding fundraisers for the Alumni Corporation, fundraising for Scholarships and overseeing the administration of Scholarships.
Alumni and External Relations – Rick Cubberley rickcub@att.net
Primary goal is to increase our "Active Participating Base" of SPE and LTD Alumni. Activities will include Golf Outings, Reunions and other events. The committee will also work to build relations with other Northeast Ohio SPE Chapters and SPE Alumni in the Greater Cleveland Area.
Volunteers are needed for all committees. We are closer today of bringing back an Active Ohio Nu Chapter to CSU then in the last two decades. We can't guarantee it will be easy or even if we will succeed. One thing we can guarantee is that the help and support of the alumni is essential to making our goal a reality. Please consider chairing or joining a committee. You may have a special talent, skill or experience that is needed. If you have an interest in helping out, just call or email any board member. Our next board meeting will be in May, open to any alumni wishing to attend.
Re-colonization Report
By Ralph Mc Nerney ralph@utdallas.edu
Dave Huiett (66), Frank Papa (79), Bill Shepard (80), Ralph McNerney (71), and more recently Bob Dolan (90) have been doing background work on re-colonizing SPEs at CSU. They are now part of a new Re-Colonization Committee of the Ohio Nu Alumni and Volunteer Corporation.
Activity began with participation in CSU's ten year old Greek Alumni Council, which Dave helped establish and which acts as advisory group for the undergraduate Greek Council and supports CSU's Greek Coordinator, Bill Russell. Bill Russell is a CSU Delta Sig from the late sixties and early seventies.
Activities to date include.
In Sept., Dave, Frank, Bill and Ralph met with Dr. James Drnek, the Dean of Student Life at CSU, Bill Russell, and other Student Life Staff. The meeting reviewed the status of Greek Life at CSU. This meeting went well with evidence that this may be a good time for re-colonization.
The evidence included a strong CSU effort to become a residential campus, (CSU will be building residence halls for 4,000 students) and a new University Center will open in Fall 2010, providing potential office space for Greek societies.
Two meetings in early November were held with SPE/LTD alumni to discuss re-colonization and see if alumni would support it. 18 alumni attended these two meetings and general support for re-colonization was expressed, though there were many questions.
A 2nd meeting with Dr. Drnek and his staff was held on 3 Feb. There was discussion of developing a CSU Task Force, which would be responsible for evaluating how to develop the CSU Greek System. Greeks at CSU are experiencing some difficulty as the Delta Sigs, Tekes, and Sig Taus have lost houses.
Met with CSU Vice President Boyle on the same day and he presented an idea for privately developed Greek housing east of the YMCA (which the university now owns) between Prospect and Carnegie. Dave Huiett has been visiting universities with townhouse and condo style Greek housing systems. This may be possible at CSU through private developers.
Considering the formation of a new, local LTD Chapter as a stepping-stone to the formation of a new Sigma Phi Epsilon at CSU. This could be done as early as Fall 2010 by rushing children of SPE Alumni currently attending CSU.
Volunteers needed. Let us know if you are interested

A Little Night Music
A good time was had by all at the LTD/SPE Reunion kick off dinner help on June 3 at Elements on CSU's campus. About 60 people attended the event including LTD's, Sig Ep's , wifes, and CSU invited guests. CSU guests updated everyone on campus activities and building plans, while others talked about past, current and future reunions of the like. An open bar and light appetizers were served but the hit of the evening were all of the artifacts brought in my several people including Dave Huiett and Russ Krofta. People poured over the many scrapbooks from days gone by and remembered what it was like back then. There were All Sports Trophies, paddles, mugs, yearbooks, etc. It was like being back at the house one more time. My favorite from the scrapbooks was the picture of Whizzer carrying a Fosters can of beer in his mouth. I'm not sure if he was fetching it for one of us, or trotting off to have a good time on his own? Knowing Whizzer, both were possible. The food was great, hats off the Elements staff for great food and great service. And of course, thanks to Dave Huiett for pulling this all together. It was nice to see old friends once again.
