Erich C. Hippensteele ’00 … email to Eric Eickhof …Greetings Eric! Before I begin, I feel a brief post-OWU history is in order. After leaving Ohio Wesleyan University, I moved back into my parent’s home. I began attending classes at Marymount University, and switched majors from Theatre to English (Literature). Being away from the wild life of OWU enabled me to make great strides as a student. I discovered that I actually enjoy reading and writing. I took classes on Shakespeare, Jack London, and early Medieval literature. My final semester of college was spent in London, England. I learned quite a bit about the U.K., and what it means to be a Londoner. On May 11th of 2003, I finally graduated from college. I took about a month off, and began waiting tables with Great American Restaurants. It turns out that my boss (the Managing Partner for Silverado) is a Beta! Right now, I am waiting tables until I can find something I enjoy more. I like my job, but I know I can do better. One of my fellow servers (a female) is also a student at Marymount. She is now wrapping up her Psychology degree in London. I will be going to visit her in late April. Enough about me.
Recently I have been receiving copies of the Theta Data. I have been encouraged by your articles. I have hoped for Theta’s return to the OWU campus ever since I heard that the chapter was being closed. I look forward to hearing of its triumphant return to campus, although I understand that there is much more work to be done. As you know, I have an archive of photographs from our years at Ohio Wesleyan. If you wish, I would be glad to go through the photographs and find some positive images of the Chapter to send to you for future publications. Unfortunately, with my limited vacation time, it is unlikely I will be able to come to Ohio anytime soon. However, I am willing to help in any capacity that I can. Please note: I have since moved out of my parent’s home. I am now living at: 14849 Cranoke Street, Centreville, VA 20120 My cell phone # is: 1-703-209-1975. My e-mail is: hippi@mindcrime.net Please respond and let me know what I can do for you, and for our Chapter. Yours in ~kai~, Erich
