Thank you to the alumni and parents who helped us update the house on house improvement day in January! Some accomplishments of that day include restoring the foyer tiles, deep cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen, stripping and waxing the chapter room floor, painting the hallway walls, and adding new furniture to the formal. The house looks fantastic, thanks for everyone’s hard work!

The Brother of the Year award is voted on by the active chapter every December, and distinguishes one brother who has made a profound impact on both the chapter as a whole and each brother individually. The Triangle Brother of the Year 2018 is Henry Cushing. Henry served as communications director this past year, and assisted about every other director with their duties as well. A truly caring brother, Henry treats everyone he meets with respect and dignity, and often helps other brothers in times of need. Henry lives out the true meaning of brotherhood, which is why he is deserving of this great award. Congratulations Henry, and thank you for service to Triangle and our brotherhood in 2018.

Congratulations to our new board of directors, and best of luck in your respective positions!

This past weekend the chapter elected its new executive board, including the Membership, Internal, and External Vice Presidents and the chapter President. We hope to see these leaders bring new ideas, perspectives, and talents to the chapter to advance our great brotherhood even further. Congratulations to our new executive board members!

On Saturday August 25th, active brothers and alumni teamed up to work on the house as part of house improvement day. Projects completed include painting the dumpster fence, improving the finish on our dining room tables, scrubbing the first floor, and adding mulch to our side landscaping. Thank you to the alumni who helped out, and to the brothers for putting in hard work that weekend!

Last week brothers Kevin Fitzgerald, Daniel Young, Brandon Smith, Mark Rodriguez, and Eli Maricich took part in Zeta Tau Alpha’s BMOC. BMOC is an annual talent show among fraternities at Purdue that raises money for breast cancer awareness and research. Our brothers wowed everyone with their performance of Little Black Submarines by The Black Keys. We couldn’t be prouder of their performance and are so lucky to have such talented brothers!

Congratulations to Matt Pisoni, our new recruitment director! Matt is a freshman from St. Louis, MO looking to go into mechanical engineering. If you are interested in joining Triangle next semester or know someone who is, feel free to get in touch with Matt at (636) 675-6028 and recruitment@purduetriangle.org. We can’t be more excited for him to lead Fall 2018 rush!

Earlier this semester both active and alumni brothers took part in our latest house improvement day. This semester we replaced the ceiling tiles in the kitchen, painted baseboards in the rec room, stripped and re-waxed the 2nd floor, and reinforced the dining room tables. Thanks to everyone who came out to make this event a success, and we can’t wait for the next one!

This past semester we had the honor and pleasure of welcoming 14 outstanding young men into brotherhood. We’re extremely proud of the character, dedication, and work ethic they’ve shown so far and are excited to see what they will add to the house as brothers. Congratulations!

Congratulations to Derek Cameron for being named the 2017 Brother of the Year! Derek is a senior from Angola, IN studying Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering. He received this prestigious award for the 2nd year in a row because of his hard work as Membership Director and President, as well as living a life that embodies the precepts and values of Triangle.
