Where Are They Now – Todd Yonteck

Whatever happened to Todd Yonteck? Before graduating 10352380_10203927275646983_4349140038934398805_nin 1991 with a B.S. in Accounting, Brother Todd Yonteck became a Brother as a part of the Beta class of the Delta Zeta Chapter at USF. After one degree, he went on to get a Masters in Accounting in 1996 – and if that weren’t enough, on to a Medical Doctorate in 2000!

Brother Yonteck met his wife while still in college at USF, and they have two beautiful daughters – one who is 18 and attends the University of Central Florida, the other who is 14 and in high school. He and his wife still live in the Tampa Bay area, where he works as an Emergency Medicine Physician.

Chi Phi has never been far from Brother Yonteck’s mind, as he stays in regular contact with his fellow Brothers, Greg Kasson, Chip Woodward, and many others. 10373620_10203898920667043_2182214345695894084_nHis time in the Delta Zeta Chapter provided him an opportunity to “befriend a really good bunch of guys,” he says. “I enjoyed watching them all grow up, have kids, etc. Even though we don’t hang out like we used to, they still have my back in times of need, and I have theirs. I enjoy seeing their Facebook posts.”

The years may past, but as a Chi Phi, the Brotherhood never ends!

A Future Chi Phi is Born!

Fellow Alumnus, Brother Luke Allen, has become a proud papa! On August 30, 2014, Brother Allen and his wife, Amanda, welcomed baby Logan into the world. At 7.2 pounds and 21-3/4 inches, Logan Allen was born strong and healthy.

There is definitely nothing more precious, and more joyous, than the birth of a couple’s first child – and there is no doubt that Brother Allen and his wife are bursting with pride right now!

The Delta Zeta Alumni Association certainly wishes the Allens all the best, and if you haven’t already done so, head over to Brother Allen’s Facebook page and congratulate him! Logan Allen – a future Chi Phi in the making!

Sing Us a Song

And now, for something completely familiar…

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The Regular crowd shuffles in
There’s an old man sitting next to me
Makin’ love to his tonic and gin
He says, “Son, can you play me a memory
I’m not really sure how it goes
But it’s sad and it’s sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man’s clothes.”

La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Billy Joel

Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feelin’ alright

Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there’s someplace that he’d rather be
He says, “Bill, I believe this is killing me.”
As the smile ran away from his face
“Well I’m sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place”

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they’re sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it’s better than drinkin’ alone
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he’s talkin’ with Davy, who’s still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

Sing us a song you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright

Piano Man

It’s a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
‘Cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been comin’ to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, “Man, what are you doin’ here?”

Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum

Sing us a song you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright
