Brother Frank Caputo is the director of Pharmacy at the Ashtabula County Medical Center in Ashtabula, Ohio.
Frank enrolled in Purdue in pursuit of a degree in pharmacy, pledging Chi Chapter in 1965. “The Dago,” as he was known, managed to walk the line between academic and social growth, earning Dean’s List honors as well as serving the fraternity as the social chairman. He graduated with his degree in pharmacy in 1970.
His career in the pharmaceutical industry has included tenures as the vice president of sales for Quality Care Pharmaceuticals, director of Pharmacy at Western Reserve Care System, national systems consultant at IVAC Corp – where he earned top five in sales and Diamond Presidents’ Club honors – and as director of Pharmacy at Trumbull Memorial Hospital.
He is also involved in the League of Intravenous Therapy Education Speakers Bureau, has served as a guest lecturer for the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, and as the president of the Trumbull County Pharmaceutical Association.
Brother Caputo has also worn many hats outside the pharmaceutical arena. He tried his hand in the culinary arts, serving as owner and chef for Caputo’s Italian Ristorante and vice president of the Lakeland Athletic Club.
Kappa Sigma has also benefited from Frank’s experience. He served as the alumnus advisor for the Epsilon-Rho chapter at Kent State University. Frank is married to Helen Terwilliger-Caputo and has two children, Tracie Lenox and Stephen Terwilliger.
When asked about Chi Chapter and what it meant to him, he reminisced that it “was not a house, but a home away from home,” and that it was responsible for the development of many “lifelong friendships and brotherhood, as well as lifelong memories.”
