My friend Dan Holmes, who is the creative director for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, and I were chatting about some design work of for th PVGP for 2024. I mentioned that I thought we needed a new logo since Pitt has gone back to their earlier color scheme I was never really happy with the stuff I have created for the website. Dan had sent me a couple of designs over the past two days and we've refined them down to this. I posted it on Facebook and solicited opinions. editors note: The consensus as of November 9 meeting in NUMBER 3 with 59 people voting.

UPJ Alumni Board Elections were held and the first meeting of the new alumni board at UPJ. There are several members of the UPJ Alumni Board who are members of Greek Organizations. Bernie Martin has been appointed interim chair of the newly formed Greek Subcommittee and will be holding their first meeting on August 14. Background & History Nearly a decade ago when Bernie built the UPJ Greeks website which has been funded by Dr Pete Korch (Delta Chi) they developed a proposal to create a Greek Alumni Council which include a set up By-Laws and some longer term capitol project for a Log Cabin outdoor forum and underground storage/ showcase area for Greek Organizational history. The intent was to create another affinity group subcommittee similar to what the Alumni Board had approved for the Education alumni. In an Executive session of the Alumni Board it was decided to not approve additional affinity group subcommittees. That put most of the plans on hold for a Greek Alumni Council. Until now. Greek Alumni Council subcommittee According to Matt Sernell, Co-Presdent of the new Alumni Council and as part of the newly created Greek Subcommittee, "Also remember, other alumni that are not on the Alumni Board can serve on committees, so if you know of someone who your committee feels could brings something to the table, they can participate in the committee and committee activities." which has laid the foundation for a Greek Alumni Council that could fall under the liability umbrella of the UPJ Alumni Board. Liability Coverage During the meeting this evening, it was determined that should find out more about liability coverages for the reunion weekend events. David Janusek said that he would begin research into this topic and have some information for the next meeting. Old ideas are New Again Some of the ideas for the All Greek Reunion were mapped out in 2015. Take a look at the following article: Homecoming 2015: We ARE Greek! "Shout It Out!" Committees
For the 5/31-6/2/2024 it was decided to set up several committees:
Lodging We will need select a host hotel off-campus but on-campus options will be the Living Learning Center and Willow Hall for families with children. David will get estimates of pricing for campus lodging, meals, etc. Next Actions
