Dear Brothers,

I am very pleased to announce that Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity NIC delegate Robert F. Marchesani Indiana Zeta '94 (Pa Nu '79) has been recently elected to the North-American Interfraternity Conference Board of Directors at the April 24 Meeting of the NIC in Washington DC Representing our Fraternity at the 2004 House of Delegates Meeting with Bob was our very own ''Mr. Phi Psi'' Executive Director Emeritus Ralph D. Daniel Arizona Alpha '47.

The election of Brother Marchesani to the NIC Board of Directors is a tremendous honor to himself and our entire Fraternity, as the North-American Interfraternity Conference House of Delegates is made up of representatives of over 64 Men's College Fraternities in North America representing 350,000 members at 800 college campuses.

Brother Marchesani has attended over 20 Annual House of Delegate Meetings and is currently serving on the NIC Public Relations Committee responsible to promote many of the new exciting NIC programs and initiatives advanced by NIC President Ed Pease and Executive Vice President Jon Williamson. Bob has been a very strong advocate of the North-American Interfraternity Movement for two decades and his election to the NIC Board of Directors is a wonderful tribute to his personal and collective efforts to support the mission of the NIC '' To Advocate, Promote, and Enhance the Excellence and Effectiveness of the Men's College Fraternity Movement'' in this exciting new era.

Brother Marchesani was assigned in this Biennium to chair the Phi Kappa Psi National Philanthropy Initiative in which has created our new strategic long term Phi Psi partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. The inaugural BGCA community service program is currently enjoying a strong introduction with our undergraduate Chapters and Alumni Associations. Brother Marchesani has been employed by Eli Lilly Pharmaceutical Company in Indianapolis for twenty years and is primarily responsible for new product information introduction.


Brother Marchesani follows in the footsteps of past Fraternity SWGPs Harry Gorgas, Phil Cornelius, John Donnell, and Dick Ong who have served with distinction and have represented Phi Kappa Psi in the North-American Intefraternity Conference.

Our congratulations to Bob and his family on this wonderful accomplishment.

Fraternally,
John V. Ciccarelli...
58th President of Phi Kappa Psi
