Hey!
I'm Kelsey Kaufman, and I'm the current president of Pi Tau Sigma (PTS): Iowa Omicron. This is the new website/blog for the University of Iowa's chapter of Pi Tau Sigma, the international mechanical engineering honors fraternity. For the past couple of years, the Iowa Omicron chapter has been labeled as "inactive" due to the lack of recruitment. Beginning last semester (Spring 2010), recruitment began again, and is now in full swing! This semester, it is my hope to integrate all of the new members by organizing a few fundraising and service-based events.
In the past, we've cooked for the Ronald McDonald House located on the west edge of campus. In order to reactivate PTS, our first order of business is fundraising... As we're raising money, PTS members will be planning and organizing service events. Ideas for service events this semester include a Ronald McDonald House dinner, visits to cancer patients in the UIHC, and volunteering at Habitat for Humanity builds (hopefully before it gets too chilly!).
The calendar seen above will display events as they are planned and meeting times as they are announced. PTS' kick-off meeting for the semester will be held on OCTOBER 4TH at 6:30 PM in 3220 SC. This meeting is mainly to get to know all of the new inductees, decide on service events for the semester, and to answer any general questions that students might have. Again, meeting times will be posted HERE on the calendar above as they are announced, so be sure to check back occasionally!
If you can't attend the first meeting, are interested in joining, or have any questions, please contact me!!! Also, make sure to check out our facebook group!
I'm looking forward to a great semester... I hope to see you all at the beginning of October!
Kelsey Kaufman
President, Pi Tau Sigma Iowa Omicron
