Br. RALPH MUZZILLO at Barone's Lunch

Brother Ralph Muzzillo is one of the major leaders of our Fraternity. Initiated at our Pierce College Beta Chapter in the Fall of 1959, Ralph was instrumental in the creation of Gamma Chapter at California State University Northridge. When the university ordered the chapter's disassociation with the Phi Delta Psi, Ralph Muzzillo and others founded the Pi Kappa Tau Fraternity based on the principles of our Fraternity. In turn, Pi Kappa Tau became a colony of Sigma Alpha Epsion. Some years later, SAE was removed from that campus.
Ralph Muzzillo became the Executive Vice President of Texas State Bank in Beaumont until his retirement in 2009.

PROFESSOR RALPH MUZZILLO CHECKS IN.

Recently, I contacted several of our Brothers who are/were in the banking industry - to ascertain the best rates on our Maple Leaf Endowment Fund cd. Brother Ralph Muzzillo responded, and added this note:

"I retired on 12/31/08 and 2 weeks later began teaching at Lamar University in the Economics and Finance Department. Very exciting for me as it gives me the opportunity to stay in tune with what's going on. As an Adjunct Professor, I am teaching two senior level Commercial Banking courses required for degrees in finance. Classes are early mornings M/W/F.

Hope all is well with you and your family. Will be in Sherman Oaks (in May - dates withheld, but available on your request). Hope we can get together. Ralph"
