Steelcase Inc Tour 2010

2010-12-15T11:44:00.000-08:00

PCT Zeta Epsilon toured Steelcase Inc on November 19th, 2010. We were taken through the basics of the company, including their past, present, and future. We then broke into three groups related to our majors including marketing, management, and finance. While in these groups we were able to talk to an employee of Steelcase in a one-on-one setting to ask any questions we felt were relevant to our future. Lastly, we took a tour of their building and were able to test out some of their innovative furniture. It was a great experience for all, and will be included in the pledge process for all future pledges.

PCT National Conference

2010-12-15T11:41:00.001-08:00

The Phi Chi Theta National Meeting was a great experience those of us who went from the Zeta
Epsilon chapter. The national convention was held in Orlando, FL, within walking distance from Universal Studios. In attendance were actives, advisors, alumni, and honorary guest members. While there we were able to seek advice from other chapters of Phi Chi Theta, talk about personal and professional goals for ourselves and our fraternities, meet new people, as well as network with other chapters and discuss important topics and future plans. The national meeting also gave us a chance to meet with the Executive Board and participate in its re-elections. Before leaving we were given awards for our most recent success in the fraternity. There were many awards given to students, alumni, and chapters, in addition to Phi Chi Theta Educational Foundation scholarships. The national trip reminded us how important this fraternity is nationally and locally. It was organized to remind us of our business goals and to allow us to network with business professionals, alumni, and students.

Last weekend 9 members of the Zeta Epsilon Chapter took a trip to Kalamazoo, Michigan for the PCT Central Regional Conference which was held at the Radisson Hotel. The group found the trip very beneficial to their future business careers and to the success of the Chapter. The Zeta Epsilon Chapter also made strong connections with other PCT members from other chapters across the central region as well. We would just like to thank everyone who was in attendance for all of their help and we look forward to implementing some of the ideas we recieved in the near future.
