engaging undergraduates and encouraging them
to live their lives with integrity during and after
their time in school. "If undergraduates maintain
integrity they cannot help but become a leader,"
Joe said. He also serves as Master Steward,
traveling to chapters all across the country,
presenting programming to undergraduates. Joe
also trains future men to serve in the High Pi
position themselves.
Joe enjoyed the spirit of True Brotherhood that
was present when going through rituals in his
time as an undergraduate. Lambda Chi gave
him the opportunity to strengthen and bring out
his integrity as a person. Joe encourages alumni
who have lost touch with Alpha-Omicron Zeta
"to talk to the undergraduates as True Brothers."
He said, "See in them what you see in yourself.
Find a way to elevate and propel them forward.
Become personally involved; you will not regret
it. All chapters struggle with having enough
boots on the ground to help guide and support
our young brothers." Joe is proud of the recent
Phoenix award the chapter received at General
Assembly. "It was all because of the work and
effort of the undergraduates," Joe said, proud of
the men he has had the chance to mentor.
Joe and his wife, Lisa, live in Ninevah, Ind., with
their son, Hunter, who is 14 years old, and their
three rescued wolves, Rosa, Akyi, and Blue.
He enjoys fishing, duck hunting, and coaching
his son's baseball team. Joe's favorite quote
comes from Russian novelist and philosopher,
Dostoevsky, and sums up his feelings toward
service to Lambda Chi: "Let us always remember
how good it was to be here when we were all
together, united by a good and kind feeling
that obscured our imperfections and made us,
perhaps, a little better than we are." You can
