Oxford, OH, Oct. 18, 2004 — Eric J. Eickhoff, Ohio Wesleyan ’00, former Fraternity education consultant, has been appointed Assistant General Fraternity Archivist of Beta Theta Pi International Fraternity. A resident of Pepper Pike, OH, Eickhoff will assist in maintenance of fraternal, chapter history and lore archives, and chronicling museum and library donations. Eickhoff fills the volunteer position that had been vacant for three years.
“Eric cares deeply about the preservation of the Fraternity’s history and artifacts,” commented Beta Theta Pi Administrative Secretary Stephen B. Becker, Florida ’69. “We are glad that he will assist us in the care and maintenance of these important areas in Oxford.
Eickhoff will support General Fraternity Archivist H.H. Stephenson, Miami ’39, who has volunteered his time since 1976. Eickhoff spent three months reorganizing the archives and files in both the John Reily Knox Memorial Library and the Fraternity archives this past summer.
Previously, Eickhoff dedicated three years to the Fraternity as an education consultant — assisting chapters in the areas of leadership, recruitment, risk management, alumni relations and new member education. He has facilitated The Institute for Men of Principle and The Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute.
As a collegian at Ohio Wesleyan, Eickhoff served as pledge educator, historian, philanthropy chairman, public relations chairman and awards chairman and was executive vice president of inter-fraternity council.
