Zeta Phi Reconstruction Fund

Alumni from the Zeta Phi Chapter have teamed up with the Pi Kappa Alpha National Headquarters to establish the Zeta Phi Recostruction Fund where Pi Kappa Alpha Chapters, Housing Corps, Alumni Associations and individual alumni can contribute to the recostruction effort. Letters have gone out to all Active Chapter and Colony Presidents as well as all Alumni Association Presidents informing them of our tragedy and requesting assistance.

We will never forget you Brian

Brian was the most caring and giving person I have ever met. He was always positive and fun to be around. He was the type of type guy that no one could have anything bad to say about him. He is loved by so many, and myself and my brothers really miss him. Greeks will never be the same with out him. We will always love you and keep you in our hearts Brian Fredrick Schlittler.

Funeral Arrangements

We will post funeral arrangements as they are announced.

The House

It's hard to even think about the loss of the building when there has been a loss of life. But I find myself mourning the loss of the house and it's contents. That house was central to so many of my best memories, and it has always been a physical reminder of the friendships that I developed through Pi Kappa Alpha. I welcome everyone to post their memories of the house.

Glenn Tope has generously volunteered to loan one of his rental houses in Bel-Ridge to the fraternity as an interim chapter house. We have already started to discuss the rebuilding of the house, which definitely will happen. We are planning on establishing a fund for the guys to help them get established in the interim house and help refurnish a new house once it is built. I will send more info on the fund once we get it set up.

All of the trophies, pictures and composites were lost in the fire. It's going to take some time, money, and effort to recreate as much of this as we can. If any of you have pictures or composites that you could donate or allow us to copy, send me an email or post a response.

What are your feelings about the house?

Brian Schlittler

Pi Kappa Alpha Brothers,

Early this morning we lost our brother, Brian Schlittler. Brian was 25 years old and was in his last semester of his senior year. I'd like to speak for the alumni and extend our sympathies to the active chapter and especially to Brian's family for their deep and devastating loss. While at the house today, I witnessed the overwhelming grief that the chapter is feeling due to the loss of Brian. I want the active chapter to feel free to share their thoughts and memories about Brian here.

There will be a memorial service tonight, November 29th, at UM-St. Louis. It will be on the South Campus at 7:00. I will post more details about the exact location as they become available.

If you have pictures that you would like to share, send them to me at Doug@InfinityMortgage.us.
