s many of you know, Tommy Shotwell '89 has been
the chapter advisor for the Gamma Chi Chapter
since 2002. During his service for such an extended
period, Brother Shotwell has been keenly aware of
the ups and downs Gamma Chi has gone through
over the years. Regardless of the chapter's
status, he has never wavered in his duty to serve
his young brothers as a mentor and guidepost.
Alumni and active members should strive for such
upstanding character.
Recently, Brother Shotwell stepped down from his post
to focus on some health issues (which we're sure
has nothing to do with mentoring more than sixty
20-year-olds). While this saddens both alumni and
active brothers of Gamma Chi, we understand that
Brother Shotwell's health and family must come
first. Nonetheless, the men of Pi Kappa Alpha
would like to express their most heartfelt thanks
to him for his devoted patience, care, guidance
and the steadfast faith he provided to his beloved
Gamma Chi Chapter.
A BIG Thanks to Brother Tommy Shotwell '89
efforts on behalf of Pi Kappa Alpha and
Gamma Chi. If Lewie were here with us
right now he would be amazed by how
many alumni remembered their time in
the chapter and in Stillwater. He would
have a big smile on his face and would
be shaking his head at the big dreams
brothers have for his beloved fraternity."
Today, Dick is the president and CEO
of First Security Bank in Oklahoma
City. In addition to his service with
Gamma Chi, he has served as director
for the Oklahoma Zoological Society as
a trustee and chairman of the trust. He is
also chairman of the Oklahoma County
Finance Authority and next year will
become the president of the Oklahoma
City All Sports Association.
In his spare time, Dick enjoys following
OSU sports. "I love football season, not
only for the games and the competition,
but also as a chance to see me brothers
and their families." If you would like to
catch up with Dick, send him an e-mail at
