CGI - This is
Ken Poorman's tribute page to Chi Gamma Iota (XGI). I started this page because I couldn't find an C G I website. I think there used to be one for the Penn State Harrisburg Chapter, and I understand there was a Chapter at Shippensburg. There was one at Penn College in Williamsport PA in the '70's, but I understand it is defunct now. I think I remember there
being a Chapter at Illinois State University too. So, to try to help keep the XGI name alive, I'll try to include links here for any XGI activity
I can fine on the web. I hope more veteran students will take an interest and form more XGI Chapters. Good luck
Vets!

Jim Paules
was an XGI brother at Penn State York after serving in the U.S. Navy until 1972. Penn State York had an active Chi
Gamma Iota fraternity. They raised money during the school year sponsoring dances at the Emigsville Fire Hall and also
by running road rallies, which were very popular. Then in the Spring they would take their hard earned profits and
have a royal sea food blow-out! Jim also went to the Penn State main campus, and there was a Chi Gamma Iota chapter there also,
but not as active. Jim went on to a career at the Exelon Three Mile Island nuclear plant near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Thanks to Jim for contributing the mug in the photo. |
