Phi Kappa Tau is pleased to announce the appointment of three new Domain Directors, Stephen Duke, Nick Zapitelli, and Jory Hamilton.
Stephen Duke, Middle Tennessee ’15, is the newest Domain Director for the Bluegrass region. Stephen has been a passionate member of Phi Tau since he became a Founding Father at the Zeta Lambda chapter of Middle Tennessee State University in 2015. As an undergraduate, he served as Treasurer, VPAR, IFC Treasurer, and GAMMA (Greeks Advocating for the Mature Management of Alcohol) Treasurer. Stephen also served on the Executive Board of the College Republicans and Debate Team.
Stephen graduated with a degree in German in the spring of 2017. After graduation, he worked as Representative Bryan Terry’s intern for the 48th District of Tennessee. Stephen is currently working for his family’s Heating and Air Conditioning company while developing his own Translation Agency, Herzog Translations.
The Bluegrass region includes schools in Tennessee and Kentucky.
Nick Zapitelli, Florida State ’03, is representing the Southeast Domain. Nick’s involvement in Phi Tau was cemented from day one and has continued up to this appointment. During his undergraduate tenure, he was President of his associate class, IFC delegate, Membership Orientation Officer, Chapter President, and motivated his chapter to sweep FSU’s Greek Awards. Nick was also named to FSU Homecoming Court and crowned Homecoming Chief his senior year.
Nick has stayed loyal to the Fraternity and found a way to engage with Phi Tau no matter the direction life has taken him. Following his undergraduate years, Nick served on the Board of Governors for Beta Iota at Florida State, served as Colony and later Chapter Advisor for Beta Alpha at University of Texas-Austin, and served as Bluegrass Domain Director for the few years he lived in Kentucky. Nick now resides in Greenville, South Carolina, with his wife and their son. He works in the real estate industry.
The Southwest region includes schools in North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
Jory Hamilton, Washington ’12, is the newest Domain Director of the Pacific Northwest Region. Jory is an initiate of the Alpha Pi chapter at the University of Washington where he obtained his Bachelors degree. He went on to the University of Southern California, Ohio University, and Washington State to obtain Masters Degrees from all three institutions.
Jory has served as the Alpha Pi Alumni Advisor, Evergreen Alumni Club President, and currently serves as their Chapter Advisor. He has links to Alpha Kappa at Washington State through his Masters program, as well as Pi at University of Southern California and Beta at Ohio University.
Jory works as a Fundraiser and is currently running for Kirkland City Council.

Congratulations to our three newest Domain Directors. We are confident their Phi Tau, academic, and professional experiences will be an excellent match for their new role. We are excited to see graduate councils grow in their region as well as overall alumni engagement.
Go Far!
