New Alumni Lead the Way PASSING THE TORC HES Fresh Faces on the House Corporation The House Corporation had a complete turnover as well. Robin Fant '81 decided to pass the torch to focus on his growing business. House Corporation We would like to thank brother Robin for his dedication and commitment to Alpha Chi Chapter during his tenure as president. For the past six years, the chapter has been lucky enough to lease the old ATO house on Fraternity Row. The House Corporation had done a fantastic job of coordinating and maintaining that house. ATO is now attempting to recharter at MSU. The House Corporation is shifting focus and exploring multiple options to provide a permanent home for the Alpha Chi Chapter. Engineers recently completed an initial survey of a new lot on Fraternity Sorority Row. We hope to have some exciting announcements soon.

This year, it finally happened—and on a grand scale. It started with Glenn Marchant '75 deciding he had served his time. Glenn stepped down as chairman of the board, opening the door for a new leader. A special meeting was held, and Neal Pirtle '20 was elected for the position. Neal was then tasked with building a board from recent graduates, and he did just that! Board of Governors Neal's goals for the chapter are to raise the standards of our purpose, enhance the efforts in checks and balances, and invest more into the growth of the brand and members. We would like to take a moment to thank brother Glenn Marchant for his dedication and commitment to Alpha Chi Chapter during his tenure as BOG president.
