On Sunday, Jan. 24, a group of concerned alumni met at the chapter house and formed an alumni advisory board. They were joined by Derek Abrams and Marcus Kelley, Lambda Chi Alpha consultants and master steward Aaron Parker.

Ed Barret accepted the role of chairman of this group in an effort to provide coordination to a group of alumni who will provide the active mentoring for our undergraduate chapter leaders. The alumni board will work closely with Ken Schultz, who heads the house corporation, ATZ Corporation.

Below is a list of alumni who have agreed to formally help mentor the house leadership:

There are other alumni who have agreed to serve on the board or in supporting roles including Mike Williams, David Engstrom, Dave Drennan, Kevin Pauba, Rich Armbruster, Todd Ziebell, and Mark Schwarting.
