Becoming Crows

On April 11th 1989 twenty-five men were pinned as postulants of the national fraternity of Alpha Chi Rho by the Executive Secretary (James "Spence" Spencer), Representative John Martinez, and brothers from Trenton State College (Phi Gamma Chi). Of those twenty-five men only six are on the charter.

In the fall of 1990 the colony continued to enlist more men. Andy Blank, Erik Cagle, Mike Frangione, Pat Hanna, Mark James, and John Palmisano were part of the incoming thanks in large part to Jay Langan. While these men added a new dimension to the project, G.S.C.'s administration put the colony on probation for illegally rushing. The probation lasted from 11/89 to 3/90.

This pitfall seemed to unnerve the colony. George Jordan, the colony's first president, was forced to "retire" from the colony by G.S.C.'s administration. The colony then voted in Matt Vick as president number two.

It was during this semester that the colony's by-laws were written by George Jordan, Mike Caimi, R.J. Chester and Tom Ford. Also, the colony members began to prepare for the eventual commencement of business.

The spring of 1990 saw even more changes. Matt Vick left the colony, and thus the presidency, due to personal reasons. The colony then voted in Erik Cagle as its 3rd president. Pat Carty remained the Vice-President through three different presidencies.
