As a student, Tony Noce ’80 was president of his senior class, of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity and of the Inter-Fraternity Association. As an alumnus, he was one of the founders and president of the Drexel Inter-Fraternity Alumni Association, and served as president of the Pi Kappa Phi Alumni Housing Corp., where he was instrumental in the re-chartering of the chapter and renovation of the chapter house by organizing a capital campaign that raised over $500,000.
Noce and his wife Kathy ’79 have been together since 1978. (She asked him out to her Delta Zeta Sorority formal.)
Noce graduated from Drexel in 1980 with a BS in civil engineering and went on to get his law degree from Widener University.
He has been a member of the Drexel University Alumni Association Board of Governors for FIVE years. He’ll be chair of the Board of Governors until June 30, 2017.
His TWO main initiatives as chair are to create a program to track and recognize alumni engagement and to and support and strengthen Drexel’s network of recent alumni (those who graduated in the past 10 years).
The Noces have FIVE children. THREE are Drexel graduates, ONE is a Drexel freshman, and ONE went to Villanova University (but we won’t hold that against him).
To this day, SEVEN of the Noce’s closest friends are Drexel alumni: Steve ’80 and Laura ’80 Markley, Steve ’82 and Sharon ’80 White, Bob ’80 and Mary ’79 Matcovich, and Karl Douglass ’80. Karl’s wife didn’t go to Drexel, but they let her hang out with them on occasion.
For the past FOUR years, Noce has been president of AMN Development, a commercial real estate development firm based out of North Wales, Pennsylvania.
He’s also treasurer on the board of directors of Pi Kappa Phi Properties Inc., which helps chapters in acquiring, operating and maintaining housing and currently owns 20 chapter houses nationwide.
Over the years, Noce has attended countless Drexel alumni events. This summer he and Kathy hosted their FOURTH New Dragon Meet-Up in their home for incoming Drexel students and their families.
His last name, Noce, is mispronounced almost 100% of the time. By the way, it’s “NO-chāy.”
