He reads the Little Truckee as easily as the rest of us read a daily newspaper. He chooses a spot, and with a smooth, practiced casting stroke, lands a fly lightly on target. Pisciotta’s concentration is absolute. Whether a wandering trout chooses to take the fly or not, Pisciotta is content. A day on the river is always a good day. ȱ Ĵǰȱ ȱ ǰȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ęȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ęȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱĚ¢ȱęȱǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱǰȱ ȱȱȱȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱȱ ȱȬ ȱȱȱȱ¢ǯ ȱĴȱ ȱȱȱȱȂȱ ȱ ȱǯȱȃȱ ȱ£ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱ ¢ȱȱĚ¢ȱęȱȱ ȱȱ ȱȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ǰȄȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱȱȱ¢ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ęȱȱȱęȱȱ ȱȱ ȱ ¡ǯȱĴȱȱȱ ȱ ȱȱęȱȱȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Ȃȱ Ȃȱ ǯȱȃȱȱęȱȱǰȄȱȱ ǰȱȱȱȱȱȱŗşŝŖȱȱ ȱ Ě¢ȱęȱȱȱęȱȱ ȱȱ ££ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱǯ Ğȱ ǰȱ Ĵȱ ȱ ȱǰȱȱȱȱȱ ȱ ȱ £ȱ ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ Ğȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱȱǰȱ ȱȱȱȱ ȃȱȱȱȱǰȄȱȱ ȱ ¢Ȃȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȃ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Ğȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȄȱ ¡ȱĴǯ ȃȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ŘŞȱ ¢ǰȄȱ ȱ ǯȱȱ¢ȱȱȱǰȱȱȱ ȱȱȱȱȬ¢ǯȱ ȱĴȱȱȱ ȱȱ B 2 ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ Ȃȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱ Ĵȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱŗşŝşǯȱ ǰȱȱŗŘȱȱȱȱȱ ȱȱȱȱ ȱ¢ȱǻȱ ȱ ȱ ŗşŜŖȱ ¢Ǽȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ŗşȱ ¢ǯ ȃȱȱ ȱȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȄȱ ȱ Ĵǯȱ Ȃȱ ȱ ȱȱȱ ȱ¡ȱȱȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȄȂȱ ´)UDQNLVPVµ “It’s a common cliché but true: Fly fishing is an excuse to take a walk in nature.” “Trout are found in beautiful places.” “There’s no such thing as a difficult client because we are in the wrong business if, in fact, we cannot deal with difficult people.” Ĵȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȁ£ȱ ȱ ȂǰȄȱȱǯȱȱŗśǰŖŖŖȱȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Dzȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱȃȱŘśȱȱȱ¢ȱȱ MARCH 2010/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI ȱȱ£ȱȱȱȱȱȱ ǰȄȱȱĴǰȱ ȱȱȱ ȱȂȱȱĴȱȱȱ ȱ ȱȱǯȱ ȱ Ĵȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢Dzȱ ȃ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȄȱ ȱǰȱ ȱȱȱ¢ȱǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Ě¢ȱ ęȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ŗşŞŚǯȱȱŗşŞŞȬşŞȱȱ ȱȱȃ ȱ ȄDzȱȱȱȱȱ¢ȱȱ ǯȱȱȃȱȱ ȱǰȱ ¢ȱ ǰȄȱ ȱ ¡ǯȱ Ĵȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ŗşşŞǰȱ Ğȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱȱȱŗşşşȱȱȱȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ŘŖŖŗǯȱ ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱȱ ŜǰśŖŖȱ ǯȱ ȃȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱǰȄȱ¡ȱĴǯȱ ȃȱȱȱȱȱȱȱ¢ȱ ȱǯȄȱ ȱ Ĵȱ ȱ Ĝȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȱ ęĴǰȱ ȱ ȱ ǻǼȱ ȱ ȱ ŗşşŗǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Ě¢ȱ ęȱ ȱ ȱǯȱȃȱȱȱȱȱȱ ȱ ǰȄȱ ȱ Ĵǯȱ ȱȱȱȱȱĚ¢ȱȱǰȱ ȱȱ ȱȱȱȱ ȱ ǰȱȱ ȱȱĚ¢ȱęȱ ǯȱ Ȃȱ ȱ ȬȬȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ £ȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱǰȱȃȱ¢ȱ ǯȄȱ ȱȱȱěȱȱȱ ǰȱȱ ȱȱȬȱȱ ȃȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱȱȱȬ¡ǯȱȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȄȱ ȱĴǯȱȱȱȱ¡ȱȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱĴǯ Ĵȱ ȱ ȱ Ěȱ ¢ǯȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Ȯȱ Ȃȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȱ ȱ Ě¢ȱ ęȱȱȱȱȱ ȱȱȱȱ ȱȱȱȱȱȱȱĴȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȃȱ ȱ ǰȄȱ ȱ ǯȱ ȃȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱȱȱȱ¢ǯȄ ȱ Ĵȱ ¡ȱ ȱ ȱȱŘŖŖŚǰȱȱȱȱ ȱ ȱ Ȃȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǻ ǯǯǼǯȱ ȱ ŘŖŖşȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ££ǯȱ ȃȂȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȄȱ ȱ Ĵǯȱ ȃȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ŘśȬȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¡ȱ ȱ ¡ȱ Ě¢ȱ ǰȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱ Ȧǰȱ ¢ȱȱȦǯȄȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯǯǰȱ Ĵȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱȱȱȱ¢ȱȱĚ¢ȱ ęȱȱȱȱǯȱ Ȃȱěȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ěȱ Ě¢ȱ ęȱ ȱ ȱ ǰȱ ȱ ȃȱ ȱ ¢ǰȄȱ ȱ ȱ ěȱ ȱ ȱȱǯ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ¢ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ǯȱ Ğȱ ǰȱ ¢ȂȱȱĚ¢ȱęȱȱ ǯȱV Ȃȱ DZȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ Ĵǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ DZȱȱ ǯ¢Ě¢ǯǰȱ ȱ ȱ ȱ DZȱ ǯ¢ǯǯ ǯ Fishing in the Chilean Patagonia.

As a business major I was interested in joining an organization that would balance social and business activities. One month later, I was the president of the Gamma Lambda Pledge Class for Zeta Mu Chapter. As an alumnus, I was a founding member of the Arlington Area Lone Star Alumni Chapter and served as president until I was elected the National Vice President-Organizational Development (VPOD) at Grand Chapter Congress. One thing I say to new brothers is, if you put your heart into Delta Sigma Pi, what you receive will be more than you could ever imagine. Time has gone quickly and I have championed a strong strategic plan for the future. I have implemented several items from my P.A.S.S.I.O.N. platform and am proud to report that we have already achieved many of the objectives. P – Participate and communicate with all national committees and task forces at least once a month and offer guidance to accomplish all objectives. One of the first things I did as VPOD was contact each national chair and encourage each to develop a revised list of objectives for the biennium. Chairs were encouraged to work with other national chairs to develop a cohesive national team. , with a great group of presented were to join passionate brothers and the Grand President’s am excited about what we Circle and to potentially will accomplish over the serve as a District next biennium.

I hope this provides insight to my position. As part of my open door policy, I invite you to contact me at 469-3236238. I also encourage you to contact me through email ([email protected]) or Facebook. I am excited about our future the National Leadership Retreat that and I am Proud to be a Deltasig. same weekend. Past Grand President Mike Mallonee is chair of the initiative. Fraternally, O – Offer a fresh perspective to collegiate brothers by presenting them leadership opportunities while they are still in school. We have several Board members who speak across the country. One of their main topics is how to keep collegiate Paul G. Brodie brothers involved. When I was a VP-Organizational Development collegiate brother the only opportunities “If you put your heart into Delta Sigma Pi, what you receive will be more than you could ever imagine.” A – Assemble and fully utilize the National Organizational Development Committee (NODC) through constant communication and conference calls at least once per quarter. The NODC, per bylaws, is made up of the two current National Collegians of the Year, VP-Finance, the Executive Director and three at-large members. The NODC has had three conference calls and accomplished a lot of work through email. I am blessed to work “Fraternal Forum” allows elected leaders, staff, and interested members to offer updates, viewpoints and commentaries on issues facing the Fraternity.

He was drawn to kids from an early age. “I was a tennis player growing up and I started teaching tennis when I was 14,”he said. At 18, he launched Inspired Learning Institute, LLC, “a basic company that matched sports instructors with kids,” he explained. The difference from just any sports lesson was in the company’s approach and philosophy. “Kids saw the instructors not only as a coach but as a mentor and friend,” said Hochfilzer. The experience had a big impact on his life, mainly because of feedback from parents about the positive changes they noticed in their children. What stood out to Hochfilzer was the significant role a mentor could play. He continued the company during his first year at Berkeley but had to give it up, as focusing on class work and school activities, including Delta Sigma Pi, took up more and more of his time and energy. When Brother Hochfilzer felt dissatisfied with post college life, the positive experiences and lessons learned from that first “My involvement in the Fraternity had a huge impact on me…. it helped develop my professional side and gave me many opportunities to mature and build confidence in areas of weakness, such as leadership and speaking skills.” business venture inspired him to launch another. It helped that his parents were behind him. “They always supported the idea of doing something you are passionate about and I always went to them for advice,” he said. He also was buoyed by lessons learned from Delta Sigma Pi. “My involvement in the Fraternity had a huge impact on me,” said Brother Hochfilzer. “Mostly it helped develop my professional side and gave me many opportunities to mature and build confidence in areas of weakness, such as leadership and speaking skills.” Expanding on the mentorship philosophy, Hochfilzer noticed a huge need and lack of resources for parents whose children were falling behind academically or socially. “Every classroom has those children that have a harder time paying attention, have a learning disability like ADHD, or have behavioral or emotional challenges,” he said. “These are the kids who typically end up falling behind and getting negative feedback from their teachers, and then deal with frustrated 24 MARCH 2010/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI parents, which in turn lowers their confidence and can lead to other challenges.” With further research, Hochfilzer noticed that many of these struggling children might work with a professional therapist or psychiatrist, but there was a gap between what they concentrated on during therapy and what happened at home. His answer was to create a for-profit company in 2004, ClubXcite, designed to fill the gap by providing each student with a mentor to work with them one-on-one on specific challenges, many times, in conjunction with the other professionals involved in their lives. He was joined in starting the company by a friend from Kansas who also had a recent business degree, Matt Carey. “Our concept works because our mentors are collegeaged ‘cool’ women or men who are working on an education or psychology degree but also have had practical experiences with kids as tutors or sports coaches,” said Hochfilzer. Parents come to ClubXcite with specific needs and the company matches mentors based on those needs, providing a customized program and achievement plan to reach established goals. Parents pay $30-40 an hour for the oneon-one mentoring services. Mentors are paid. The mentors go through a strict series of interviews and extensive background checks. “We tend to attract people who are ethical, fun, spontaneous, athletic, charismatic, and reliable,” said Hochfilzer. Most also have eclectic hobbies or interests that can be incorporated into the mentorship. “If a child wants to learn an instrument or a certain sport, for instance, we can pair him or her with a mentor who has expertise in that area,” he added. ClubXcite has expanded to offer weekly small group social opportunities. “We noticed that the kids we work with have a harder time making friends or being successful in social situations,” said Hochfilzer, “so we developed opportunities for these kids to meet others in a coached but natural environment.” Cost for the three-hour group outings are $65-75. Memberships are available that provide discounts on services. Recently, ClubXcite entered into contracts with various private schools in San Diego and Orange County to offer enrichment programs. “This has really taken our program to a new level, because schools see the value in our concept and philosophy,” said Hochfilzer. “We offer a variety of programs such as robotics and building, ultimate sports, drama and improvisation, and martial arts. We stick with a four to one ratio and offer personalized attention to all kids.” The company also launched an additional venture, Xcite Steps, because parents requested help with kids facing challenges like autism. Hochfilzer and a mentor he knew with a background in this field, Matthew Winkley, started Xcite Steps to focus directly on serving these kids. “Xcite Steps offers many of the same services, just with more experienced mentors in this field and a higher focus on social skills groups and opportunities,” said Hochfilzer. Xcite Steps is also set up to help teens and adults. Hochfilzer and his partners, including fellow Berkeley graduate John Foletta, head up a full-time management team of five and 45 paid mentors. The company has served more than 700 children in Southern California, and more than 400 through a contract with San Diego Youth and Community Services, a non-profit, to help at risk and low income children. Hochfilzer hopes to set up a foundation to raise money for similar services. “Between both companies we exceeded $500,000 in revenues in 2009, which is a lot if you take into consideration that we are a service business and have only been around for five years.” Part of the success is from Hochfilzer’s focus on truly changing the lives of the children served, one at a time. He’s also grateful for Delta Sigma Pi’s impact, “I truly feel that I owe a great deal of my success to Delta Sigma Pi and all the support I had from my brothers.” V Editor’s Note: For more information, YLVLW VWDJH H[FLWHVWHSVFRP, or call 858-779-9674.

Brother Busse, 96, served as Delta Sigma Pi’s Grand President from 195355. He was born in East Orange, N.J. After high school, he got a job as a stock runner making $60 a month and began night school in Newark (a division that later became part of Rutgers University). Tuition for the semester was $50, which he didn’t have, but he was able to get a loan for that amount payable over five years at 2 percent interest. At Rutgers he was a charter member of Beta Omicron Chapter, installed in 1937. Brother Busse and Doug Clark (who served as chapter president after Busse) went to Atlanta for their first Grand Chapter Congress in 1936. Busse recalled they spent five days travelling from New Jersey and camped along the way, since they only had $200 between them. In another Deltasig connection, Brother Busse joined Burroughs Adding Machine Company in 1939 on advice from Charles Staubach, 0LFKLJDQ. His career at Burroughs spanned 36 years and six states, ending in Atlanta. For two years he was Burroughs’ top salesman in the U.S. Along the way, he met and married wife Dorothy; they were married for 57 years before she passed away six years ago. They are parents to son Ronald and daughter Laurie, who joined the Fraternity when she was a student at Georgia College. “We were the first father-daughter combination in the Fraternity,” said Busse. Busse became involved in Special Olympics Georgia in 1973. He served as the group’s contact with the Ladies Professional Golf Association from 1977-84, raising more than $300,000 to benefit Special Olympics Georgia. He served on their board from 1986-99, and in 1995 the organization named their annual golf tournament the “Bob Busse Classic” in his honor. In its 15 years, the classic has raised over $2.5 million. Brother Busse joined Rotary in New Jersey 66 years ago, served in seven different clubs, and joined Atlanta Rotary in 1974. For 35 years, he was chief consultant to the Atlanta Rotary office. The Rotary award recognizes his service to his family, his church, his profession, his community and the Atlanta Club. He was recognized for his many contributions to Delta Sigma Pi with the 1996 Lifetime Achievement Award.

At the championship game November 14, the Pioneers won on a last second field goal 23-21. “It was a real nail biter,” said Husby. “So unbelievable, and an awesome experience.” Brother Husby was a collegiate punter at St. Thomas, where he was initiated into Nu Tau Chapter and held several offices including chancellor and Ritual chair. He majored in marketing and finance. Since graduating, he’s continued to play the sport. “The semi-pro St. Paul Pioneers signed me in the middle of the season for their playoff run,” Husby said. He also works in sales for JobDig.com and LinkUp.com, two employment web sites under the same parent company. For more information on the NAFL, visit www.nafl.org. V ¢ȱȱǯ Catching Up With Singer/Songwriter Melissa Axel Melissa Axel, Florida, has continued her musical career since being featured in the March 2004 issue of The DELTASIG. In 2009, Brother Axel released a five-song EP “Transition,” and toured in Iceland, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. Axel and her husband, tuba player and writer James Jacoby, were awarded scholarships to participate in workshops hosted in the UK by the World of Music and Dance Foundation, created by Peter Gabriel in 1980. Axel also co-hosts songwriting workshops and community arts events in Denver as part of a non-profit, Colorado Artist Network, that she founded. Brother Axel has written new songs for her first full-length album, to be recorded at some of her favorite studios around the world.
