Random Comments:
Pi Kappa Phi gave me the opportunity to find who Bill
Zylla really was and helping to found this chapter definitely assisted me in
developing skills which I use everyday in my current career. The friendships
I have made have not faded and I still keep in touch with many of my
brothers.....more often than I do with my blood related brothers!
