New Campus Sorority is Arriving?

New campus sorority is arriving ?

When Pitt-Johnstown officials shut down the Kappa Zeta sorority last spring semester, Phi Sigma Sigma was the only campus sorority remaining. Since then, Student Government President Joe Evanko and Campus Activities and Engagement Director Heather Hall share a goal to add another sorority.

When Evanko was running for student government president last year, he said one of his main goals was a Greek life expansion. He said it was one of his main goals because he thinks Greek life members are good for campus. “(Fraternities and Sororities) were off balance with having three (fraternities) to only one (sorority),” Evanko said. He also said the Interfraternity and Panhellenic councils were disbanded with the inbalance.

The Interfraternity Council is a national fraternity organization. Phi Sigma Sigma member Kasandra Matthews said the Panhellenic Council is an organization only when there is more than one national sorority on campus. Hall said she is supportive of anything that could offer more leadership opportunities “Another group from a National Panhellenic Conference women’s group will allow for more service in the Greater Johnstown community,” she said.

Evanko said all existing members of Greek Council have stepped up for fraternity and sorority members. He said student senators have not been able to do a lot in the sorority’s formation.
“(Student senators) try to be as open and helpful as possible in the creation. “Having one choice is not that desirable,” he said.

Evanko also said Pitt-Johnstown administrators have given the approval to allow national fraternity and sorority members the option to start a new campus chapter. Hall said, with another sorority, more female students may want to join Greek life.

Adding a new campus sorority is to be a mutual experience, according to Hall. “We are now what is referred to as ‘open for expansion’ through the (National Panhellenic Conference). This means that I have a set of expectations and documents that have to be submitted that will be shared with the 26 member groups in the conference,” she said. She also said the number to start a new sorority is going to be dependent on the group that is interested. “For a campus our size, I would imagine that there would be 30-45 women needed to install a new group,” Hall said.

Sophomore Amber Vandevender said she and sophomore Angelica Tate are trying to start a Zeta Tau Alpha fraternity. According to Hall, Zeta Tau Alpha is referred to as a fraternity because the founding members were some of the original women’s fraternal groups that is not named a sorority, but is a group in the conference. Vandevender said the process so far has been more time-consuming than difficult. She said she and Tate thought of bringing Zeta Tau Alpha to Pitt-Johnstown last summer. “We knew it was going to be a very long, and sometimes frustrating, process. However, we were willing to do whatever it takes,” Vandevender said. She said they have 13 potential members.  “Many girls have expressed interest in joining. However, since we technically aren’t a campus organization yet, we have decided to keep the group exclusive until we get the OK to recruit,” she said.

Tate said she and Vandevender wanted to bring the fraternity to campus for a variety of reasons.
“The beliefs (Vandevender) and I both share are reflected by Zeta Tau Alpha: the promotion of alliance, happiness and the building up of a greater and purer womanhood. “With Pitt-Johnstown’s strong emphasis on preparation for the real world, we agreed that nothing could ready a person more than the participation in a group such as Zeta Tau Alpha,” Tate said.

Matthews said she and other Phi Sigma Sigma members are supportive of another campus sorority. She said it would be nice to see the Panhellenic Council be brought back to campus.
Matthews also said another sorority would be good for campus. “Sororities bring women on campus together,” she said. She also said a big community of women would help other women feel safe.
According to Vandevender, fraternity and sorority members have been supportive about the possible Greek life addition.

Although Hall said another sorority would be beneficial, she said it’s a challenging time for Greek life nationally. She said it’s important for campuses to return to the ritual and values they were founded on. Vandevender said she thinks there’s a bad reputation attached to Greek life. “Hazing scandals and recent deaths in the Greek life community at big universities have damaged the appearance of Greek life and, because of that, people don’t have much respect for it anymore.

“We want to restore the fundamentals of charity work, academics and unity among not only the women of this campus, but everyone,” Vandevender said.

Hall said Pitt-Johnstown Greek life members are committed to service, scholarship and leadership development, but there’s room to grow. “I feel it is my role to help students who are not currently unaffiliated to see the great opportunity of being a member of a national network that offers continued personal growth and leadership development that gives to their campus and community,” Hall said. Hall also said fraternity members have been supportive of adding another sorority.

“The men have embraced Phi Sigma Sigma (members) as the women’s group here and even worked to develop Greek Council so that there was a temporary governing group. “Once we have our local Panhellenic Council to govern the women’s group, we can reincorporate the Interfraternity Council and operate as most campuses our size do,” she said.
Hall said her ultimate goal for Greek life is to help create leaders.

ONLY One Sorority at UPJ

After a recent temporary suspension of Kappa Zeta, Pitt-Johnstown is home to only one social sorority out to four social fraternities.

Finance and Administration Vice President Amy Buxbaum, also a Campus Title IX coordinator, said that there is no violation of equal opportunity for men and women.

“(Pitt-Johnstown) does not organize these groups or recruit for them. We simply provide equal opportunities for both sororities and fraternities to organize on campus.

“This is different than varsity athletics programs, which we actively organize and direct, which are subject to Title IX.”

A memorandum from the federal Department of Education, dated May 3, 1989, noted the difference between social Greek life and professional, service or honorary Greek life. Title IX, the memo says, applies to service and honorary organization in that they may not exclude members based on gender.

“Under Title IX and the implementing regulation, the membership practices of social fraternities and sororities are specifically excluded from coverage if the active membership consists primarily of students in attendance at institutes of higher education, and the fraternity or sorority is exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code.”

Pitt-Johnstown administrators thus do not guarantee the presence of equal Greek life opportunities on campus. Student Affairs Vice President Shawn Brooks said such matters stay on the student level, unless things go awry.

According to Brooks, there have been as many as four social sororities on campus in recent years, but two have been suspended for possible hazing, and one has been removed by its national sponsor.

Brooks said that those looking to organize a social fraternity or sorority on campus could connect with the national organization they wish as a sponsor, then petition the Pan-Helenic council.
“It’s a separate process for recognition. It doesn’t rise to the administrative level. Our role is very limited unless things go absolutely haywire.”

Currently, the sorority Alpha Gamma Delta is eligible to return to campus if they wish to recolonize, a process that takes about half a year, Brooks said.

Greek Affairs Director Shaun Hemphill did not respond to attempts to contact him.

The president of the remaining sorority on campus, Phi Sigma Sigma, declined comment.

Student government members approved a 2017-2018 academic year budget for clubs and organizations at a March 28 meeting.

Funds were allocated to 47 clubs. Eight organizations were denied funding, including Kappa Zeta sorority, History Club and Kickstart Kids’ Hearts.

The three organizations that received the most money were Programing Board, $99,250; Ice Hockey, $52,324 and American Society of Civil Engineers, $27,588.
UPJ Student government 2017-2018 academic year budget
Pitt-Johnstown College Democrats requested $129,219: $75,000 for a Bill Nye appearance and $50,000 for commentator Van Jones.

Treasurer Joe Evanko said that was not feasible.

“(Allocations committee members) denied (Nye and Jones) because that just isn’t feasible with the amount of money we have to allocate to all clubs,” Evanko said.

College Democrats members received $4,021 for next year.

Catholic Campus Ministry requested $18,000 for next year. The organization received $1,896.
Ministry members did not provide proof in time for a funds request.

When Evanko brought amendments to the budgets, one he brought up was the amendment to the ministry’s budget.

For a budget amendment to be approved, two-thirds of student government members must vote in favor of the amendment.

Student government senators passed the members’ amendment, and the club was allocated $1,896.
Geology Club members requested $11,150. They received $1,075.

“Geology Club’s budget was late, and they didn’t give accurate proof,” Evanko said.
The student activity fee — a $90 charge to each student every semester, creates the money to allocate to organizations.

According to Evanko, if a student drops out before a certain point in the semester, all or half of the $90 is refunded.

“We predicted low just to be safe,” Evanko said.

At a March 14 student government meeting, co-chairwoman Madison Nick said allocations committee members predicted there to be 2,700 students for next fall semester and 2,400 students for next spring semester.

According to Nick, the student government constitution states that a certain percentage of the predicted student activity fee must go to the Programming Board.

She said giving the certain percentage straight to Programming Board members allows them to plan programs based on what is happening, planning events a year in advance.

“With giving (Programing Board members) a certain percentage of the student activity fee, (board) do not have to plan a whole year of events in advance,” Nick said.

Nick also said the Programming Board is the only club the student government constitution requires a certain part of the budget to go to.

“Programing Board serves the whole campus,” she said.

Some items the allocations committee didn’t fund included clothing, retreats and coaches’ pay.
Evanko said cutting coaches’ pay was a tough decision.

Although club coaches are there for a reason, Evanko said it wasn’t fair to be paying coaches with the students’ money.

The emergency allocation fund allows club members to request funds for something they did not originally included in funding requests.

To keep funds in the emergency allocation pool, 5 percent of the student activity fee needs to be in emergency-allocation funds.

When allocations committee members originally reviewed all of the budgets, the emergency-allocation funds were not big enough.

“We were pretty nice first time around,” Evanko said.

However, committee members then went back through each budget and cut an additional 10 percent to the last line item in each club’s budget, according to Evanko.

New clubs whose members proposed a budget less than $1,000 and returning club members who proposed a budget less than $500 did not receive the 10 percent cut from their last funds request.
Evanko said this year’s budgeting season went well.

“Overall, budgeting went a lot better. We had no mistakes, besides the issue with the constitution.”
Nick agreed.
​
“Budgeting has changed a lot since my freshmen year. It’s gotten a lot better, and club (members) are starting to get a hang of (the budgeting process),” Nick said.

Budget news reaches few

​
Student Government Association members held an informational meeting Oct. 6 on how to budget for clubs and organizations.

Student Government President Shelby Smith had the idea to inform club and organization members before the actual budgeting process starts, so it would go more smoothly than in the past.
The only clubs and organizations with representatives in attendance were Time-Out Christian Fellowship, Phi Sigma Sigma and Kappa Zeta.

Smith said she had hoped to get more student organization members’ input on what they need from the budgeting process.

“I wanted to help ease the burden that clubs have of trying to map out how much money they will need for an entire year because we do understand it’s hard to plan that far in advance,” said Smith.
Smith said she had hoped for a bigger turnout but knew it might have been small because of insufficient advertising.

She plans to have at least one more meeting before the end of the semester, but, this time, Smith and Student Government Allocations Committee members will present the budgeting process and requirements along with taking suggestions from club and organization members, according to Smith.   

Student Government President Pro-Tempore Madison Nick said there has been discussion about budgeting process flaws.

Her advice to those who have to deal with budgeting is to provide allocations committee members with as much proof as possible. Also, to do as much fundraising they can because committee members take that into consideration when allocating money.

Time-Out Christian Fellowship President Jocelyn Hartman went to the meeting because she thought it would be beneficial to see how the budgeting process works.

“It wasn’t what I expected it to be. From the email, I figured there would be more organizations there and more discussion,” Hartman said.

She said, last year she was Time-Out Christian Fellowship treasurer, and she understands all that goes into the budget and how painstaking a task it is.

“I think they (Student Government members) could help clubs on campus by having more opportunities for clubs to attend meetings for budgeting in the spring,” Hartman said.

Hartman said that she thinks Student Government members make themselves available for any questions and concerns, but she doesn’t think club and organization members take advantage of what they offer.

She also said that she can understand why some club and organization members get upset about certain clubs and organizations getting much bigger allocations than others, but, after the meeting, she said she was able to learn more about how they budget and that it makes sense and is fair.
​
“After being at the meeting, I am looking forward to some of the revisions that they will be making for the budgeting process and hope that it will help to resolve future issues,” Hartman said.

Beer tent, dance are new to Homecoming

Two events added to the Homecoming schedule this year, the Big Tent Event and the first homecoming dance caught some attention from Homecoming attendees.

The Big Tent Event Friday drew in many upperclassmen and alumni, the all-you-can-drink beer was a feature that attracted those 21 and older.

Entry to the Big Tent Event was cost $5. Included in the ticket price was one meal and beer, Sam Adams Oktoberfest and Miller Lite. 

The tent was ran out of beer by 7 p.m., two hours after it opened. People under 21 were allowed into the tent but had to wear an identifying wristband. 

Former student Jess Belmonte said she wished there were more than just two beer options. She said she wanted to see more of a variety but was glad to have the choice to drink at all.

Senior Nicole Gross sat happily at the table with her Kappa Zeta sisters and said she was enjoying herself and would like to see more of these kinds of events.

Some students sipped on their beer as they were playing the only game offered in the fenced off tent, corn hole. 

While most enjoyed the event, at least one had some grievances about the plainness of the event.
“It wasn’t anything special. We need something to snack on, like chips and guacamole,” alumna Katelynn Doyle said.

Doyle added that she wished there was a mixed drink option and not just beer.

Senior Sam Lauderback had just come back from his internship in the woods on campus.

“After digging holes in the woods for three hours, it’s nice to be able to come back on campus and have a beer.”

The first Homecoming dance was held at Ace’s Lounge in the cities West End in Johnstown, each ticket only cost $2 for students and $5 for guests.

There were 15 tables set up and decorated, accompanied by a DJ booth and the most popular aspect of the dance, a photo booth as well as a long table full of various snacking food options.

Director of Campus Life Sherri Rae said she did not want to spend more than $5,000 on the first homecoming dance, being cautious with the money being used from the Programming Board.
Only 30 pre-sale tickets were sold for the event, a pay-at-the-door option also was available.

The event was aimed to please all students but more specifically for underclassmen who can’t go out and drink said Rae. “If the event goes well, it could become an annual event, I want the event to grow,” Rae said.

To advertise for the event, Rae said she tweeted pictures before the event to the students.
Sophomore student Scarlett Oller said she loved the excuse to get dressed up and go out for a dance. 

“I’m bummed more people didn’t show up … I’d like to see more dances in the future,” Oller said.
Oller’s date, Holden Jones, a at Pitt-Johnstown junior, said this was his first time going to a formal event sponsored by Pitt-Johnstown, and that he was enjoying himself.

Students sung from their tables as songs by Queen and Carly Rae Jepson blasted through speakers.
Freshman Samantha Albert said her favorite part of the dance was the photo booth. 

Although the dance was not well attended, the students who were there enjoyed themselves as they piled into the frame of the photo booth and line-danced on the dance floor.

Scholarships in works for leadership

​

At a Student Government Association meeting in March, Campus Development Chair Nick Digiorgio suggested his idea of a student leadership scholarship.

The Student Government Association voted unanimously to sponsor the scholarship when Digiorgio suggested the idea, according to Digiorgio.

“We will aggressively fundraise $50,000 in the next five years to place into an endowment,” he said.
The endowment will provide 5 percent interest off of our investment, which will fund the $500 scholarships (five in total) every year in perpetuity.”

Digiorgio acknowledged that he knows how hard it is for good, honest,  and hardworking students to get aid.

“I knew I wanted to make a difference so with the help of the Campus Development Committee, we made this idea a reality,” said Digiorgio.

According to Digiorgio, eligible students are to write a letter to the association as to how they have stood out in their organization and why they deserve the award.

The award is to be given every spring semester, according to Digiorgio.

Digiorgio said, that with the help of Development Alumni Relations Executive Director Jesse Pisors in institutional advancement and career services in drafting designs on promotional material, the process is moving in the right direction for a student leadership award.

Students might be more willing to join more organizations and become more involved as leaders when they find out they could be awarded for their hard work and dedication at Pitt-Johnstown.

Jordan Noble, co-vice president of the Pitt-Johnstown Chemical Society and Vice President of Concert Choir said she feels that students are always looking for scholarship opportunities due to how expensive college has become.

She said she would be interested in pursuing the opportunity for this award.

“Students tend to appreciate being rewarded for extra work besides their academics,” Noble said.
Junior Nicole Gross is to be the secretary of the Kappa Zeta sorority next semester.

Gross said she did not know that an award was in the making and thought it was a good idea because people holding these positions are typically full-time students with a lot on their plates.
“It’s nice that the Student Government Association wants to reward student leaders for their hard work and dedication,” Gross said.

WE are Greek! Shout It Out... at the Cabin
So many Greek memories started at the Log Cabin over the years from Greek Week skits to Rush parties that getting together there is great way to come 'home' to UPJ.  We're kicking everything off with a bonfire starting around 5:30 and then we'll have Nachos & Cheese, Beer, Soda, and Water with some music that will span 50 years!
As time passes we understand how difficult it is to get together to see old friends from your greek organization and the alumni from different greek organizations that you spent time with in college.  In 2015 we're making it easier for you to reconnect on a rolling five year basis.

It's pretty simple. We understand that you may not have graduated in four years and it may have taken a tad bit longer. So instead of holding reunions based upon when you GRADUATED, we holding them based upon when you PLEDGED!

Housing renovations to be finished sooner

In a Pitt-Johnstown strategic plan, housing renovations are listed to be finished in seven years, but President Jem Spectar has a new goal of finishing in three to five years.

Finance and Administration Vice President Amy Buxbaum said a College Park Apartments renovation is to be the largest project.

A Highland Townhouse heater in a yet-to-be renovated section has rust on broken radiator slots.
The apartments’ renovation plan is not finalized, but, as of now, renovations include new heating and air-conditioning units, balconies removal and new living room windows. Roof replacement, new carpet and kitchens also are part of the plan, according to Buxbaum.

Safety updates also are to be included in the renovations such as improving electrical issues, fire alarms and adding sprinklers, Buxbaum said.

Hawthorn Lodge is to have updated bathrooms this summer along with finishing up the renovation at Highland Townhouses, Buxbaum said.

“The townhouses’ renovations include new windows, drywall, carpet, paint, built in closets, ceiling tile, kitchen cabinets, counters, appliances and new bathrooms,” Buxbaum said.

Buckhorn and Sunset Lodges are in future renovation plans, according to Buxbaum.

Junior Joseph Walker said even if he had the option to live in the apartments, he wouldn’t because he likes living in the townhouses and not having to drive to campus for class.

Walker said he doesn’t live in a renovated townhouse, but would like to in the future.

“I would like a dishwasher and maybe a full bathroom downstairs,” Walker said.

A sophomore, Hawthorne Lodge resident, Kyla Colcombe said she would like to see showers and the buildings’ foundations renovated.

Due to the snow melting, Colcombe’s lodge flooded because of cracks in the foundation.

“I would like it to be done faster, but I think three to four years is a realistic goal, when I heard it was to take up to seven years in the past,” Colcombe said.

Nearly all student organizations provided representatives for the Jan. 11 activities fair in the Student Unions Cambria Room.


Sherri Rae, Student Life director, said out of the 40 tables set up for organizations, 38 were filled with representatives.

Fair has few attendees but many tables
Despite the high turnout of club representatives, students interested in joining them seemed few and far between.

Thomas Plutt, Role-Playing Games Club president, said that last semester at the activities fair, club members had approximately 30 students sign up with new interest.

“We had only one or two names on our list from this semester’s activities fair,” said Plutt.

Plutt said he felt the Role-Playing Games Club did not have enough time to fully prepare for the fair.

Among the students who attended the fair to learn about different organizations was Pitt-Johnstown junior Joseph Walker.

“I didn’t even know about the fair until I was walking past it in the Student Union,” said Walker.
