Written By: Chris Carter The Executive Office of Sigma Pi Fraternity, International is proud to announce three men have been hired to fill the positions of Expansion Consultants.
Andrew Locke (Beta-Delta, Kansas ’14), Connor Schwalm (Theta-Eta, Old Dominion ’14), and Zachary Kishpaugh (Iota-Pi, Oklahoma State ’14) will start their new roles in June. Expansion Consultants are in charge of visiting campuses that don’t have a Sigma Pi chapter and recruiting like-minded individuals to form a colony of Sigma Pi. Additionally each EC will take ownership over one to two colonies and is charged with training, teaching and assisting them along the path to becoming full Sigma Pi chapters.
Locke will graduate with a BA in Psychology from The University of Kansas, and hopes to eventually pursue his PhD in Industrial Organizational Psychology. In 2011 Andrew joined Sigma Pi at KU as one of the 25 colonizing members of Beta-Delta, and has played a pivotal role in its development over the last several years. He served as the brotherhood chairman for a semester before being appointed to the second counselor position. Andrew served as second counselor for the 2012 – 2013 school year, and the fall of 2013. He also assisted in the formation of the election process and currently serves as an advisor to the colony’s executive council.
Schwalm is a brother from Theta-Eta Chapter at Old Dominion University. In May, Connor will complete his Bachelors in Physics with a Minor in Mathematics. Connor has served as Second Counselor, New Member Educator, Standards, Community Service, Philanthropy, and ACE Project Chairmen. Currently, he serves as Order of Omega President, Treasurer for the Interfraternity Council, and Greek Week Director.
He is enthusiastic about the expansion projects for the upcoming school year, and believes that this expansion team will continue to establish colonies that uphold our values.
Originally from South Carolina, Kishpaugh currently attends Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. He will graduate this May with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration Management. Zach is one of the founding fathers of the Iota-Pi Chapter at Oklahoma State University, and served as their New Member Educator for more than two years. “I am very excited to be joining the expansion staff of Sigma Pi.” Said Kishpaugh. “To aide in the expansion of our Fraternity is a great honor, and I look forward to assisting with the endeavors of the Fraternity.”
