The next six months were devoted to growing Philonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence around the SamFox school, which involved a fundraiser, Chi CafĂŠ, which is held during finals week and sells coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to the SamFox community, and constructing an entrance arch for the Thurtene Carnival, a renowned Wash U tradition. In the fall of 2011, the Philon colony held its first rush, gaining 20 additional colonists as well as a new nationally appointed colony educator, Hilary Engelhart. This new class added sophomores and juniors from both the Art and Architecture school. This recruitment period successfully brought in new leaders and added diversity into a group previously comprised of mostly junior architecture students. The Philon Colony took a group road trip to the Anthemios Chapter to get the new colonists pinned in and participate in the regional Leadership Conference, an amazing and memorable welcome for our 20 new colonists!

Our Marks Introducing Philon Philon was an Athenian architect that lived in the 4th century BCE. He is known for two important works: the portico of the great Hall of Mysteries in Eleusis and the arsenal at Peiraeus, the port of Athens, that was constructed between the years 346 and 328 BCE. The arsenal was built so that all its contents were visible from the central hall, making the structure and its contents liable to Athenian democracy. In addition, he is attributed with the writing of several books discussing the arsenal at Piraeus as well as the proper proportions of temple buildings. Vitruvius notes Philon and his ideas about temple proportions. He is often considered one of the seven great architects of Greece. His views on proportion and the necessity of structural rationalism carry through even to todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s architecture and design. Because of his dedication to creating a transparent design in structure and principle and the democratic ideas of Athens, we choose Philon for our chapter namesake.

Marks of Philon One of Philonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most notable works, the Arsenal of Peiraeus, housed and displayed the riggings for the triremes which made up the Athenian navy. Fast, agile, and technologically advanced, the trireme was the foundation of Athenian maritime dominance. As all riggings were visible on either side of a publicly accessible central Philon Official Seal

corridor, Philonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arsenal both figuratively and literally presented the power of the

Athenian Empire to all members of the democracy. The Philon Chapter has chosen the trireme to symbolize that the strength of the fraternity shall emerge from the dedication, ingenuity, and contribution of each member. 13

budget. iii. Cash or Check made out to “Alpha Rho Chi” will be paid to the Worthy Estimator. iv. Dues will be requested to be paid on the second week of each semester. Brothers will have a one week period of grace to pay in full or be subject to a late payment fine of one dollar ($1.00) per day overdue for up to one month (four weeks).

Policies and Procedures Section 1: Meetings Meetings shall be run by the Worthy Architect; if he is not present they shall be led by the Worthy Associate Architect. If neither are present then the Worthy Estimator, then the Worthy Scribe, then the Worthy Superintendent. If no member of the Executive Board is present a quorum cannot be met and the meeting is cancelled. The following Order of Business shall be observed at all Regular Philon Chapter Meetings: i. Call to Order ii. Roll Call iii. Approval of Minutes iv. Officer’s Reports v. Committee Reports vi. Unfinished Business vii. New Business viii. Announcements ix. Betterment and Adjournment All meeting shall follow Robert’s Rule of Order, and a speakers list shall be created and maintained by the Worthy Associate Architect whenever a point of discussion is raised. All members are required to abide by the speakers list. Any Alumni, Honorary Members, visiting brothers from other Alpha Rho Chi Chapters, or advisors, are welcome to join any Active Members at a Philon Chapter meeting to provide input, but do not retain any voting privileges. When electing a new officer or committee head the following Voting Procedure should be viewed as a general guideline: i. Before voting, candidates will be allowed to give a short speech, then all candidates will be asked to leave the room and the chapter will hold a brief discussion of each candidate. ii. Election shall be by a majority vote of secret ballot. The Worthy Architect shall count the ballots. If an advisor is not present, the Worthy Associate Architect should be used as the secondary counter. In the absence of the either the Worthy Architect or the Worthy Associate Architect, two at-large Chapter members appointed by the Worthy Architect shall count votes. iii. In the event no candidate has secured a majority, there shall be a motion for discussion to be reopened. After this motion and potential discussion, the

vote shall be repeated. If majority cannot be reached, repeated balloting, as outlined in Robert’s Rules of Order, shall be followed. Thus, voting shall repeat, until a majority is reached. iv. If a candidate is running unopposed without protest, the Worthy Architect may then call for a motion to elect the candidate by acclamation. This motion requires a second, is not debatable, and needs only a majority vote.

Section 2: Finance A. Fees i. Pledge Fee: A fee that all new members must pay at the start of their pledge process. This fee will include the cost of all Pledge Education events, Pledge Class Bonding activities, Pledge Pins and their first payment of National Dues. Pledge dues must be collected prior to the Pledging Ceremony. The Initiation fee will be determined by the Executive Board in collaboration with the Recruitment Committee and collected before initiation. ii. Initiation: A fee that all new members must pay before their initiation into the Philon Chapter. This fee will go to cover all ceremony costs, cost of the members first payment of Philon Chapter Dues as well as the National Initiation fee. iii. Fees are subject to change over time in accordance with the annual budget and size of the Pledge Class. This cost is to be determined by the Worthy Estimator during the creation of the annual budget. Dues and fees shall be determined by the Worthy Estimator and approved by the Executive Board before being presented to the Chapter. The Chapter shall be required to approve changes in fees. If new fees and dues cannot be agreed upon, they shall be the same amount as the previous term. B. National Dues i. An amount set by the National fraternity to be paid per semester by each active member of the Philon Chapter. ii. Dues paid to the National Fraternity will be included in the Philon Chapter Dues. C. Chapter Dues i. Due payment amount will be determined after constructing the budget, and will go towards funding chapter events not covered by Student Union allocated funding. ii. Chapter dues are subject to change every year in accordance with the annual

D. Fines The chapter shall establish a schedule of fines at the beginning of the school year. Fines may be enacted as a penalty for the following reasons which include (but are not limited to): i. If a brother misses a mandatory Philon Chapter event without an excusable reason as determined by the Executive Board. This fine will be determined by the Executive Board. ii. Failure to report to assigned work shifts at fundraising, philanthropy, community, or other chapter events. Fine determined by Committee Head leading said event and approved by the Executive Board. iii. If dues are not paid by the determined deadline, a brother will be fined one dollar ($1.00) per day for up to one month (4 weeks) or until dues and fines are paid in full. Fines and dues to be collected by the Worthy Estimator. iv. If a brother falls into “bad standing,” fines may be placed as punishment as determined by the executive board. E. Student Union Alpha Rho Chi Account The Worthy Estimator is responsible for managing the Student Union Bank account. In the absence of the Worthy Estimator, the Worthy Architect shall be permitted to access the account. Philon Chapter must follow all Student Union policies. The Worthy Estimator is otherwise known as the Treasurer in Student Union. In order to access funds, the Worthy Estimator is required to attend/watch Treasurer training at the beginning of his/her term. After training, the Worthy Estimator will be required to take a multiple choice quiz in the SU office after which he/she will become Treasurer after passing. According to SU, there are three types of recognized SU groups. i. Category I: These students may request unlimited funds each semester from Budget Committee and may appeal to Treasury for additional funds throughout the school year. After Budget Committee allocates funding to these student groups, a funding percentage is applied, reducing the final allocation. Student Union encourages these student groups to fundraise the remaining amount. ii. Category II: These student groups may request at most $500 each semester from Budget Committee and may appeal to the Treasury for additional funds to bring speakers to campus, to participate in off-campus conferences, or to fund equipment. No funding percentage is applied to Category II student group

allocations. If you do not plan to request more than $500 each semester on a consistent basis, it may be in your student group’s best interest to be a Category II group. iii. Category III: These student groups may not request any funding from Budget Committee or appeal to the Treasury for any funding. Although they do not have access to SU funding, they do have access to all other SU resources.

F. Other SU resources include the following: i. Room reservations on all Washington University in St. Louis campuses ii. Publicity resources (DUCTV advertising, DUC banners, Print media workroom, Activities fair, social media, student planner, underpass painting, table tents, dining services, KWUR 90.3 FM, WUTV, Student Life) iii. Office resources (SU office, mailboxes, fax machine, computer kiosks, copy machines, cash box, supplies, and paint). As a SU recognized group, Alpha Rho Chi is given a 6 digit number with which we can print in the SU office. We are given 1,500 points per semester. Our student code is 447298, and shall only be used for activities related to the Philon Chapter. The withdrawal, deposit, and request of chapter money is governed by the policies of SU. Thus, the Worthy Estimator will need to attend Treasurer training and be familiar with the specific procedures of Student Union. SU will not allow for money to be withdrawn to avoid any form of embezzlement. Our account is divided into three sections: Operating, Fundraising, and Speaker (if we appeal for a speaker). A. Depositing funds: all funds will be deposited into fundraising account. This includes Chapter member dues. The Worthy Estimator will fill out the proper paper work at SU: a deposit slip (of which there will be three copies: pink, white, yellow), a deposit bag, and an SU deposit form. If checks are being deposited, they must be scanned, and consequentially attached to the SU deposit form. SU has a key with which the Worthy Estimator will use to deposit the bag and money into Bank of America next to the ATM outside Malinckrodt center. B. Expensing Funds: if a Philon brother needs to be reimbursed for fundraising, community, and other events, the Worthy Estimator will need the original itemized receipt for the purchase, his/her student ID number, phone number, and an address to which SU may send a check. If he/she is on the Washington University in St. Louis payroll, then he/she will receive payment from HR. If an outside individual is being paid for a service, his/her social security number, address, and phone number will be required to send him/her check. If necessary, the Worthy Estimator may request a rush payment; however, this should only be done in emergencies. In the case the Worth Estimator must reimburse his/herself, the President must sign off on the expense. Once dues are deposited into the account, National dues are paid by the Worthy Estimator through a check from Student Union. C. Budget requests: budgets for semesters must be completed by the deadline 64

determined by SU. This deadline is generally during the prior semester. For example, the Worthy Estimator will need to submit a budget online by mid Fall for the following Spring’s budget. SU will only fund items and events that may serve the entire Washington University in St. Louis community or provide a retreat for the members of the group. SU budgets must be detailed and specific. Otherwise, SU will not budget for requested items. To look at past budgets, see the SU website.

The Worthy Estimator is expected to keep track of all funds through the SU website which can be found at http://www.sufinance.wustl.edu where anybody may login to track spending. Here, the Worthy Estimator will have registered his/herself with SU as Treasurer and will be able to access Expense Request forms and Budget Entry. The Worthy Estimator may also refer to SU’s How Things Work manual for things such as reserving campus card readers, appealing for speakers, and other Washington University in St. Louis specific capabilities. Committees are expected to submit SU budgets within the first two weeks of the semester. They are also expected to submit APX budget requests during the same time period. The Worthy Estimator and Worthy Architect will then decide how much each committee may be allotted and consequentially publish the semester’s budget on Basecamp and discussed at the following All-Chapter meeting.

Section 3: Recruitment A. Recruitment The Philon Chapter treats recruitment as an ongoing process with a specific focus placed on a recruitment period. During this period, a series of events shall be open to all undergraduate Washington University in St. Louis students. A more detailed schedule of recruitment can be found in the Philon Colony Recruitment Plan. i. The recruitment schedule of events should be planned and budgeted at the conclusion of the semester according to the next term’s academic calendar. Thus, the plan shall be enacted during the following semester. This plan should be finalized and provided to the Chapter at least two (2) weeks before the first recruitment event. ii. The recruitment period should only extend for two (2) weeks, at the start of each semester. Events should be conducted as follows: a. A series of “open” events, which includes information sessions about Alpha Rho Chi and events in which PNM (potential new members) can meet current members. b. “Closed” (invitation only) events c. Bid Extensions d. Bid Acceptance iii. All active brothers are expected to attend at a minimum one half (50%) of all recruitment events or they will lose the ability to vote in Bid discussion, unless sufficient explanation of absence is provided 65

as determined by the Worth Superintendent. B. Bidding for Membership i. Bidding for membership shall only occur after the final recruitment event. Only one extension of Bids shall happen for each Pledge Period. Once the extension has occurred it may not be open again until the proceeding recruitment week has occurred. ii. When choosing whom to extend invitations to, for both “closed” recruitment events and for Bid extensions, the Philon Chapter must vote on each PNM. Each PNM must pass with a majority vote with less than twenty five percent (25%) opposed. a. For voting to occur at least three fourths (75%) of the active members of the Philon Chapter must be present. b. When discussing Bid nominations each PNM will be brought up in conversation, alongside a picture, and members of the chapter who have had encounters with the PNM will discuss pros and cons of the individual before the voting begins. c. Members can abstain from voting on a PNM for Bid extension if they so choose. If the majority of voting members abstain the PNM will not be extended a Bid. d. If the member has secured a majority approvals, but twenty five percent (25%) of voting members or more oppose, the PNM will be moved to the back of the list and re-discussed and re-voted on after all other PNM have been discussed. If after re-discussion and re- voting the chapter is still in deadlock, the PNM will not be extended a Bid. iii. PNMs who were voted to be extended Bids will receive a personal invitation from the Chapter as an individual. This invitation will be joyful and congratulatory. No hazing shall be involved in this process. iv. All PNMs who are not extended Bids or invited to Closed events must be notified by the Recruitment Committee Head as to their pending membership after the Chapters decisions in twenty four (24) hours of the decision. C. Pledging i. After Bids have been extended, PNMs have forty-eight (48) hours to accept the bid presented by the Philon Chapter of Alpha Rho Chi by e-mail, verbal confirmation to the Worthy Architect, or attendance at an acceptance event held by the Recruitment Committee. ii. A period of one (1) semester in which members shall be required to participate in a Pledge Education process. Hazing shall not be tolerated under any circumstances. iii. The coordination of the Pin-In ceremony and the Pledging Ceremony is the duty of the Ceremony Head. iv. Pledges will be expected to pay their Pledge Fee at their first Pledge meeting. Standard fines, as described in Article I, Section 3D of the ByLaws, for late payment apply. The Pledge Fee shall be determined by the Worthy Estimator

alongside the Chapter Dues. v. A Pledge President and Vice President shall be nominated and voted for by the Pledge Class. The Pledge President and Vice President will be required to work with the Pledge Educator in planning and coordinating all Pledge events both educational and recreational. vi. If a pledge does not fulfill expectations of the Philon chapter, they can be withheld from initiation and required to repeat their pledge-ship for another semester. vii. A pledge can choose to end their pledge-ship at any time if they so choose.

Section 4: Pledge Education All incoming members of the Philon Chapter will be viewed as “pledges” until initiated after successfully completing the set amount of “pledge education.” No hazing shall be tolerated. Both Alpha Rho Chi and Washington University in St. Louis’ anti-hazing policies shall be followed. A. Leadership i. Pledge Educator The Pledge Educator, who is an active member of the Philon Chapter, prepares pledges for membership in the chapter and leads the pledge education process.

Each pledge must wear his pin at all times, with the exception of sleeping, bathing, participating in athletic activities, or while partaking in any activities unbecoming of the principles of Alpha Rho Chi. Penalty for failure to do so lies at the discretion of the Pledge Educator. iii. Pledge Quizzes a. Quizzes consisting of information primarily from “The Archi Pledge” are taken individually at each pledge meeting. b. Pledge quizzes are scored at the discretion of the Pledge Educator. c. A quiz average of 75% is required at the end of the pledge program. d. A final quiz score of 100% is required in order to be initiated. e. General schedule 1.

C. Initiation i. Initiation shall be held in accordance to the outlined format in the Ritual, and coordinated by the acting Ceremony Head. ii. Initiated pledges are to pay the Worthy Estimator their Initiation Fee prior to their initiation. Standard fines, as described in Section 2D of these Policies and Procedures, for late payment apply. The Initiation fee is prescribed by the National Fraternity and will be given to the Worthy Estimator, who will ensure the payment is sent to the National Fraternity. iii. If a Pledge is unable to attend or does not complete his initiation, he must meet with the Executive Board and justify their absence. The Executive Board will then have the authority to decide how to proceed on a case by case basis. iv. Pledges must fulfill all necessary obligations, as determined by the Pledge Educator, before being initiated. Failure to fulfill said obligations could result in de-pledging. D. De-pledging i. If a pledge fails to fulfill all necessary obligations, his pledge status may be brought before the Chapter at its weekly chapter meeting. ii. In order to formally discuss a pledge’s status, several prerequisites must be realized: a. A motion must be made and seconded. b. The brother who motions must have approached the Pledge Educator about said pledge to discuss the accusations and any extenuating circumstances. The Pledge Educator then notifies the Executive Board as soon as possible, preferably before 66

the meeting at which the discussion takes place. c. The discussion may commence by majority vote of those in attendance. iii. A pledge shall be de-pledged by a three-fourths vote of those in attendance. iv. If a de-pledge vote is successful, the Pledge Educator must notify said pledge immediately following the meeting. v. Appeal a. Should the pledge wish to appeal a vote to de-pledge, he has forty-eight hours to notify the Pledge Educator, who will call for an emergency meeting of himself, said pledge and the Executive Board. b. The pledge may make his case for re-entry into the pledge program.

If a Board Member is missing from the Emergency Meeting, he must appoint another member in good faith in his place. c. At the next chapter meeting, the recommendation for or against re-opening of discussion is given to the chapter. 1. The same rules of order as described above in C.ii.b. must be followed in order to re-open discussion. 2. A vote to re-open discussion may occur even if the Executive Board recommends against it. 3. The pledge may again enter to make his case before the chapter, answer as many questions as deemed necessary and fair by the Worthy Architect, and subsequently exit for discussion and voting. i. If the chapter is meeting in a sacred ritual location, the chapter must leave to hear the pledge in a permissible location. 4. A three-fourths vote to de-pledge of those in attendance is again necessary to uphold the previous decision. d. The decision is final, and the pledge either rejoins his pledge class or becomes a Potential New Member again for consideration the following semester. vi. An emergency meeting to discuss and vote to de-pledge may be called by the Executive Board to the chapter if an important event (such as initiation) occurs before the next chapter meeting. a. The pledge must be given a notice of twenty-four hours. b. Quorum must be achieved by the chapter in order to discuss. c. All brothers must be notified of said meeting. Failure to at least notify within twenty-four hours of said meeting, especially if the brother could contribute to the discussion, disqualifies any vote to de-pledge. 67

encourage conversation. We would also have transportation for members

confirmed to prevent confusion the day of the event.

B. Overall, the visit went very well. We were exposed not only to the design

process for exciting international and local projects, but we got a great sense of

day to day life in an architecture and design firm. We knew there were obvious

differences between academia and a real architecture firm, but seeing them up

close was exciting and informative for us. To be honest, as design nerds were

just happy to have a more concrete vision of what we’d be doing in the future.

C. This visit allowed Alpha Rho Chi to strengthen its professional network;

Sarah Weismann gave us her contact information if we ever want a portfolio

review from her because she hires HOK interns. This gave all Alpha

Rho Chi members a professional opportunity and lends itself to a future event

for the fraternity.

Community Garden I. Introduction The Wellston Loop, located 10 minutes from the Washington University campus, has had a turbulent history and is currently troubled with high crime rates, gang violence, and drug abuse. Connie Benson and Jacci Henderson have lived in the 5900 block of Cote Brilliante their entire lives and together are related to almost everyone in the neighborhood. Connie and Jacci, along with the entire 5900 block, have expressed a major interest in enriching their neighborhood by transforming a series of vacant lots into community gardens. According to the broken window theory, deteriorating neighborhood aesthetics can contribute to increased vandalism and violence. By replacing vacant unkempt lots with a beautiful community resource such as a garden, the 5900 block aims to collectively work towards the renovation of their neighborhood. Although the Cote Brilliante family has the drive to pursue this project, due to their fulltime job schedules they simply do not have as much time as they would like to commit to planning the garden. Not only does this provide a significant labor force for the block, but also Philon colonists can assist with design and donation of materials to realize the project to the aspirations of the community. This also provides the Philon members an opportunity to engage their design education in a real world situation. Aside from the direct benefit of improving the neighborhood aesthetic via this community garden, we hope to cultivate a lasting relationship with the residents of Cote Brilliante and promote interactions between Washington University and the nearby St. Louis communities. II. Planning Process This plan began as a result of prior interactions with the members of Cote Brilliante in a community development class, Community Building Building Communities. Through this course two Philon members, Joe Wheeler and Mark Hartenstein, were able to meet Connie and Jacci and started a conversation about improving Cote Brillante by addressing the two unkempt vacant lots. Through this interaction Connie and Jacci expressed an interest in designing a community garden, but did not have the manpower or time to complete the project. Connie and Jacci had already gained ownership of the two 81

Philanthropy Project vacant lots from St. Louis City in earlier attempts to preserve the condition of the neighborhood. The Philon colony reached out to them regarding the community garden to confirm their continued interest in developing the project. After discussing with Connie and Jacci, we determined as a group, that bringing in the Philon Colony as a student group to help design, construct, and maintain the community garden would be an excellent pairing. Not only does this provide the 5900 block with the manpower and additional resources to help make this garden a reality, but it also provides members of the Philon colony of Alpha Rho Chi a chance to generate real world design and construction skills. A general design for the garden was established by Connie, Jacci, Joe and Mark, with input from other members of the Cote Brillante community prior to the Philon colonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involvement with the project. Upon entry, Philon focused on cleaning up the lots, removing weeds and overgrown areas, and the difficult task of digging the garden beds and placing usable top soil. Philon contacted St. Louis Composting, a

local composting company that donates to non-profit events and groups, to arrange a donation of soil which would drastically lower the cost of the project for Cote Brillante. After we filled out some paperwork, Ashley Bement of St. Louis Composting was able to arrange the donation of 10 cubits of topsoil for the garden, saving over a hundred dollars. We confirmed a schedule of workdays with Connie and Jacci and proposed the following timeline: III. Saturday April 14th, 9:30am to 1:30pm Because the lots are currently overgrown with weeds and littered with garbage we will spend the first work day cleaning the garden space. This was a project the Cote Brilliante block has been attempting to work on for a while, and they already are in position of some gardening supplies and funds raised for the garden. Due to the current condition of the lot we believe clean-up will take an entire dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. IV. Saturday April 21st, 9:30am to 1:30pm With clean up complete we will aim to place topsoil on our second workday. This involves digging a bed into the ground and then filling it with healthy soil. Through

internal connections through the landscape architecture program the Philon colony is providing 10 cubits of topsoil for the project free of charge. The colony also has access to Heeman Park, a public park that provides free compost soil and mulch. Digging space for the lot and infilling the topsoil will take at least all of a workday, possibly two. V. Saturday April 28th, 9:30am to 1:30pm We will finish placing any topsoil that was unfinished from the previous week and, if at all possible, begin to plan some of our major shrubbery. Again through connections in the Landscape Architecture program at Washington University Philon members are attempting to find donations for plants. But the Cote Brilliante block does have some funds raised for purchasing plants, and the Philon colony can add funding covered by our own previous fundraising events to purchase a select number of plants. The colony would be interested in initially planting as many as three large shrubs, such as Burning Bushes or Clemantis, costing roughly $36.00 per bush as well as some native grasses costing around $28.00 a bushel. Due to the generous donation of St. Louis Compost, we were able to work on this garden with minimal cost. The only purchases made were garden gloves for the members volunteering. VI. General Costs: Gloves (20 pairs)—purchased at $20.00 Top Soil (10 cubits)—donated and priced at $133.33 Shrubs (price per bush)—purchased at $26.00-$38.00

Hard at work spreading out topsoil and planting some perennials.

Native Grass (price per bushel)—priced at $20.00-$32.00 VII. Execution The first workday, Saturday, April 14th, we were forced to cancel due to pouring rain, thunderstorms, and subsequent mud. However, in the following two weeks we were able to make up for the lost time, and finish cleaning, adding topsoil, and begin planting flowers and shrubs. Our workdays ended up being Saturday April 21st, 9:30 am-1:30 pm, and Saturday April 28, 9:30 am-2:00 pm. On Saturday April 21, we had 14 members participate, and focused almost entirely on de-weeding the lots, as well as digging the beds. On Saturday April 28 we had 10 members participate, and were able to place almost half of the topsoil donated by St. Louis Composting. After placing the topsoil, some of the neighbors who saw the progress of the project kindly came over and donated plants from their home gardens. Although Philon plans on designing a floral layout, and purchasing additional foliage for the project, it was amazing to see the communal response to the project. The placement of the limited greenery we had access to help display the potential that this project holds both in beautifying the block, as well as helping foster community relations. 83

VIII. Future Overall, the event was very successful, as everyone that participated seemed to enjoy each of the workdays. It was amazing to get to know the residents of the 5900 block, and after each of the workdays the neighborhood graciously offered the Philonians BBQ that we all enjoyed together. We were able to accomplish most of what was in our workday plans, although we did not finish all of the flower and shrub planting. We hope to finish adding what will be the initial vegetation to the first lot this Spring, but hopefully can hold at least one cleanup day before winter as part of the ongoing relationship between Philon and Cote Brilliante. Philon is planning on continuing and solidifying the garden design throughout the winter so that the garden can see some major planting come next spring. Philon hope to contribute some major components such as large bushes, native grasses, and perennial bulb plants, but plans on leaving ample soil space available for residence to plant flowers and vegetables of their choice. Pricing on these plants will vary depending on the finalized floral design of the project created by Philon and confirmed by Connie and Jacci. Maintenance will be a collaborative effort on the part of Philon and the Cote Brillante block. While Philon could simply plan visits to maintain the garden, we need to plan our work days around the schedules of the members of the neighborhood to ensure that it is a collaborative effort and that Philon members remained focused on building a relationship with the community not just planting a garden. Because of the amazing success we saw in the first project Connie and Jacci are already discussing the potential expansion to additional vacant lots in the block. There are at least two other lots that Cote Brilliante would like to work on, giving the Philon Chapter a significant amount of designing and construction in the future. This project will ideally be an ongoing relationship not only through the continued maintenance of the soon to be complete garden, but also the addition of more community resources in years to come. In the future, we need to find more effective ways to incorporate each member of the Philon colony in this Philanthropy event, as we did not end up having all members participate. A major part of the limited participation was finals week, but hopefully with better scheduling options in the future we can boost attendance. Another improvement that could be made was the transporting of topsoil. We did not plan for the delivery of topsoil to take as long as it did, and next time, with greater foresight, we could arrange a more timely delivery of topsoil. I look forward to the further development of not only the gardens, but also the relationship we, as members of the Philon Colony representing Washington University, continue to develop with the residents of the 5900 block of Cote Brilliante.

Recruitment Plan I. Views on Recruitment The Philon Chapter treats recruitment as an ongoing process. Not only are our members expected to conduct themselves according to the ideals of the Philon chapter at all times, but also are expected to facilitate positive interactions with any potential new members as part of this ongoing recruitment process. In addition, we encourage all members to become active in the Washington University in St. Louis community by participating in programs such as Campus Ambassadors, Peer Advisors, and Freshman Mentors. Although recruitment is ongoing, the Philon Chapter places a specific focus on a Recruitment Period. This will both associate the Philon Chapter with existing Greek Life on campus as well as attract a specific group (i.e. freshman or sophomores) directly prior to bid extension. The Recruitment period will be two weeks starting at the fourth week of each semester immediately following Greek Rush. Our Recruitment Period will include a series of “open” events, which includes information sessions about Alpha Rho Chi and

Recruitment events in which PNM (potential new members) can meet current members. Based on attitude and attendance at open events, PNMs will be extended invitations to a series of “closed” events which would consist of group dinners, small group interviews, or potential high-cost events such as laser tag, Demo ball, or bowling. Following each event (both closed and open), the current members of the chapter convene and discuss the PNMs. At the end of the Recruitment process, final decisions are made via a large “bid discussion.” After voting is complete, bids are extended through a final “closed” event. II. Timeline The Recruitment schedule of events should be planned and budgeted at the conclusion of the semester, and scheduled according to the academic calendar of the following semester. The planning process is the responsibility of the Recruitment Committee, led by the Recruitment Chairman, and overseen by the Worthy Superintendant. The plan needs to include a timeline of all events, both open and closed, and a preliminary budget. This plan should be finalized and provided to the Chapter at least two (2) weeks before the first Recruitment event at the start of every new semester. All active brothers are expected to attend at a minimum one half (50%) of all recruitment events or they will lose the ability to vote in Bid discussion, unless sufficient explanation of absence is provided as determined by the Worth Superintendent. Week 1 (5 events total) 4 open events total 2 informational sessions Presentation given by Recruitment Chairman or superseding member for the purpose of clarifying the purpose, benefits, and requirements of membership in the Philon Chapter of Alpha Rho Chi. After said presentation PNM will be able to ask the Recruitment Chairman and other Active Members questions and address concerns. 2 Meet and Greet Casual mingling sessions (i.e. pizza party, milk and cookies, ice cream social) designed to facilitate conversation as a way for existing members to get to know PNMs. Discussion for closed event invitations shall take place immediately following the last

unable to attend the closed invitation discussion to give their opinion. PNM that active brothers feel are genuinely interested in Alpha Rho Chi, willing to participate fully, and mesh well with the personalities of the current members will be extended an invitation to closed events. 1 closed event This would be a larger event such as bowling, laser tag, or demo ball to provide PNM and brothers a chance to get to know one another while participating in a fun and memorable recreational event. This will give brothers an opportunity to get to know PNM even more, but also show PNM some of the social benefits of joining Alpha Rho Chi. Week 2 Interviews Three days of interviews will provide sufficient time for brothers to schedule and hold a series of casual interviews with PNM. These interviews will be treated as closed events, and only PNM who have participated in preceding recruitment events can be invited to interviews. The interview process is fundamental in getting to know individual PNM and accessing whether that would be a good fit for the Philon Chapter. Interviews will be casual and typically consist of one or two (1-2) brothers interviewing two or three (2-3) PNM over lunch or dinner. BID discussion will take place following the final interview. BID discussion will consist of commenting on each PNM and then voting. The general number of BIDs being extended will be decided upon by the Recruitment Committee prior to the Recruitment Period based on the current number of Active members and the number of graduating seniors, but BIDs will be determined by the merit of the individual PNMs. BIDs should not be extended in order to fill a pledge quota, nor should pledges be denied a BID because there are more that the previously agreed upon number of BIDs being distributed. Each PNM that members truly feel is a good addition to the fraternity should be extended a BID, no more no less. BID extension should happen the night after discussion is finalized. BID extension can manifest in many ways, whether it is “dorm storming,” studio visits, or a more formal group invitation, but it should be a joyous celebration that praises the individual PNM for their accomplishment and fosters a feeling of welcome. No hazing shall be tolerated. The PNM will be given 24 of no contact period to determine whether or not they would like to accept their BID and become a pledge of the Philon Chapter. After that

24 hour period PNM can accept their BID via e-mail, phone, or verbal confirmation via attendance at a BID acceptance party provided by the brothers to welcome all new pledges. The BID acceptance party shall be the Philon Chapter’s way of formally welcoming the new members as pledges. No hazing shall be tolerated at the BID acceptance party. III. Potential Recruitment Events When planning a Recruitment Period, the Recruitment Committee should keep in mind that the most attendance will be at the open events, so keeping those events inexpensive can save the Chapter money to provide more elaborate closed events for those PNM that the Chapter has determined are truly interested in participating in Alpha Rho Chi. The Recruitment Committee must create a schedule that balances free, inexpensive, moderately expensive, and expensive events in accordance to that semester’s recruitment goals and budget. The following is a list of potential recruitment events that could be implemented at the various stages of the Philon Recruitment Process.

Potential Bid Extension Events BID extension is the Chapter’s way to let PNM know we would like them to join the fraternity. It is important that this process makes the PNM feel special, wanted, and excited about the prospects of joining the Philon Chapter of Alpha Rho Chi. “Dorm Storming” Can include personalized welcome posters and/or food delivery (like cupcakes, cookies, or pizza, added expense $$) Individual extensions are a good way to make each member know that we want them to join the fraternity. It is imperative that the environment remains absolutely non-threatening and unintimidating. Studio Visits Can include singing and dancing and the like. However, this has the potential to make those who did not receive bids bitter. Group Extensions Can include reception of candies, confetti, or other treats and include joyous cheering and welcoming. This method allows all PNM to gain exposure to all those who will become part

of their pledge class. This method does lose some of the benefits of individual extensions, but saves time for active brothers. Sample Timeline - Based on Recruitment Period of Fall 2011 Monday 5:30pm- “What is APX?” (Q and A session for all potential additions) Tuesday 5:30pm- Repeat of “What is APX?” for those who are unable to come on Monday Thursday 9:00pm- “Cookies and Chi” in Givens or Outside to mingle and snack. Monday 8:00pm- “Ice Cream Social” in Givens or Outside to mingle and snack. Tuesday through Thursday- Interviews with potential bid recipients (scheduled individually) Thursday Night- Dorm Storming Bid extension Saturday Night Bid Acceptance- Dinner and Welcoming Party!! Sample Timeline 2 – Projected for the Recruitment Period for Fall 2012 Monday 5:30 PM– “What is APX?” (Q and A session for all PNMs) Tuesday 5:30 PM- Repeat of “What is APX?” for those who are unable to come on Monday Wednesday 9:00 PM – “Cookies and Chi” in Givens or outside, to mingle and snack. Thursday 9:00 PM – “Ice Cream Social” or “Brinner – Breakfast for dinner” (Pancake Breakfast event) – In Givens or outside, to snack and mingle Thursday, Friday Evening - Discussion for Invitations to Closed Event Saturday 1:00 PM – Alpha Rho Chi-Dye and Field Day – closed event Monday-Wednesday – Interviews with PNMs (scheduled individually) Thursday Night – BID Discussion Friday Night – Bid Extension Saturday Night – Bid Acceptance, Dinner and welcoming party! V. Recruitment Interactions For interacting with PNM at social or informational RUSH events all Philon brothers should be prepared to answer the following common questions that PNM interested in joining might ask: What is Alpha Rho Chi? The only national co-ed professional-social fraternity for architecture and the allied arts. What will I be involved with if I join APX? Professionalism: Networking with Sam Fox professors and St Louis design leaders as well as Alpha Rho Chi members around the Nation. Community: Philanthropic work and involvement with the greater Wash U community including an ongoing design build Community Garden project. Social: Fostering bonds between majors and grade levels in Sam Fox through social interaction outside of studio.

We had fun with mustaches at the Washington University yearly activities fair.

What would the time commitment be? At a minimum 1 hour a week for chapter, 1 hour for cabinet meeting, and attendance at events. BUT we are looking for leaders and your level of involvement can be as great as you want it to be if you are willing to put in more time. How much would it cost? There is a Pledge Fee of $50 and an Initiation fee is 100 $ (both onetime cost). Chapter Dues are currently $75 per semester. Otherwise interactions with PNM should be natural. Try to keep the conversations going and especially try to talk about work outside of studio (what extra circulars they are involved in, what other classes they are taking, and ext.). If you find a conversation point that you know another brother would be interested in try to “pass” the PNM to them not only to insure that they have someone else to talk to, but to allow as many brothers as possible to get to know the PNM. Avoid discussing the negative aspects of studio work at all costs. During closed events and interviews make an extra attempt to gauge the PNMs interest in APX, their willingness to participate, and what they hope to gain out of their experience. The simple question: “What do you want to get out of APX” or “What can you bring to our Chapter?” can be invaluable in judging whether a particular PNM will be a valuable addition to the fraternity.

Top & bottom: Information sessions were the first recruitment events to inform those that were interested about what APX was, who we were, and the kinds of events we did. Right: Our closed event in 2012 was a BBQ held at Forest Park on a beautiful day in September.

VI. Choosing a BID recipient Ultimately whether a PNM is extended a BID or not is dependent on their fit with the existing environment of the fraternity and what they will bring to the group. There is no exact answer for this criterion because it will change so greatly over time with each new pledge class. We need members that are outgoing, and friendly to cultivate a proper social identity for the fraternity, as well as members that can present themselves in a professional way for firm visits and networking events. Otherwise the only major component of judging a PNM is assessing their interest in the fraternity and how much they will participate. Philon should not exclude members because they have other extra circular commitments, but instead look for members that are willing to participate enthusiastically and follow through with individual commitments. Overall we need to keep in mind that these PNM will one day be leading the fraternity, so choosing a pledge class that shows leadership, dedication, and a genuine interest in the wellbeing and betterment of the Philon Chapter is fundamental to growth and preservation of the fraternity.

Construction drawings to help with building

For many of us, building the entrance was our first time building a full scale model. We saw our design drawings turn into reality, but it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come as easily as we thought. Many construction problems arose - not knowing how to use power tools, running out of paint, warped wood - but in the end, we saw that our hard work paid off.

Raising the entrance after construction was complete took the entire colony and some ThurtenE members.

ThurtenE Carnival Entrance 2012

Campus Outreach

I. Introduction A. ThurtenE is a carnival run entirely by students for charity that occurs every

year on the Washington University campus. All social fraternities/sororities

participate in the construction of booths and facades that provide food and

entertainment for the carnival. Thousands of local St. Louis residents attend the

carnival. We hoped to strengthen relationships with both the other greek

organizations on campus as well as the local community by participating in the

event. We set out to build an entrance to the carnival that all the carnival goers

would pass through.

THURTENE

II. Planning Process

A. After speaking briefly with those colony members who were most involved

in building the previous year’s arch, we contacted Greg Villenue, the internal

business coordinator for Thurtene to gain an understanding of their

specifications and desires for the project. In the Community Committee

meetings we began designing, and surveyed the entire colony at group

meetings. After submitting the design ideas to Thurtene, we spoke to Michael

Louie, the scene shop director for the performing arts department who assisted

Sam the Fox T-Shirt Sales

Fundraising

I. Introduction

a. In hopes of garnering school pride in the Sam Fox School of Visual Arts

and Design, the Philon colony designed a t-shirt to sell and distribute to

the student body. T-shirt sales are a familiar form of fundraising

on the Washington University campus and while it does generate funds for

our colony, it also helps spread awareness of our presence on campus. a. The Worthy Architect consulted with the Fundraising Committee to solidify

the design to the point that the colony was unanimously in support of the

finished product. The WA then took into consideration Student Union policy

in regards to properly selling t-shirts. The Fundraising Committee consistently

refined the design, presented options during Chapter, and looked online into

the best t-shirt printing service. Ultimately, they chose Custom Ink and

proceeded to look through shirt and ink color possibilities. After deciding on a

blue shirt with orange ink to stay true (but unique) to the colors of the Sam

Fox school, we pre-ordered shirts for students who signed up during our

tabling and proceeded to sell them.

b. March 11, 2012: First design was presented March 18, 2012: Second

iteration presented April 22, 2012: Third iteration presented; voted for most

preferred design April 29, 2012: Final iteration; last round of final voting

September 24, 2012: T-shirts delivered and distributed exclusively to APX

colonists October 8-12, 2012: Tabling for pre-orders in the Sam Fox

School October 18, 2012: 70 t-shirts ordered for Sam Fox School November

5-23, 2012: T-shirt sales

c. Because the colony invested time in selecting the shirt, colonist members

paid for the shirts at face value for $10 each; we saw no need to turn a profit

with our members. Shirts for fundraising were sold at $12 resulting in a $3.77

103

profit per shirt (prices change according to bulk number). The entire order cost

$576.10 from our Fundraising account, paid by colonist Sara Dusenberry who

has been properly reimbursed through Student Union by the WA. We were

able to take advantage of SU resources and reserve a Bear Bucks (Washington

University currency) reader, which made our selling process convenient for

students. Ultimately, the profit earned will be $263.90.

d. Advertising included flyering specifically around the Sam Fox campus,

since we didn’t think we should target the entire Washington University

campus. The Fundraising Committee created a Facebook event and invited

people to sign up via Google Doc, in addition to physically tabling for it in

the Sam Fox café. Colonists wore their shirts in anticipation of the sale and to

create awareness.

III. Execution

II. Planning Process

a. We have sold around 50 shirts after the first week of sales and will

continue to distribute them in the coming weeks. Not only have we been able

to successfully sell them, but we have set a trend of pride so strong that

faculty members (including Dean of the Art School) are seeking us

out to acquire Sam the Fox shirts.

IV. Future

T-shirt sale flyers designed by the recruitment committee.

a. Sales have been going smoothly, students and faculty have been excited

about the product, and we’ve received compliments and questions about our

colony’s work and progress in becoming a recognized group on campus.

b. Even though the colony was confident that this fundraiser would succeed,

we also were wary of the general risks of designing/selling a shirt. Students’

reactions have been more positive than we could ever imagine

and we are glad we can contribute to their school spirit. People have truly

enjoyed our interpretation of the Sam Fox name.

c. To further expand on this venture in the future, it could be great to open

up the design to the student body to further develop a sense of school unity.

This semester’s sale has set up a good foundation on which we can model

future sales. We are comfortable using SU resources, we have an image/motif

that has opportunity to continue to flourish as part of the Sam Fox identity,

and we are now more confident in implementing new ideas for fundraising.

We hope to make this a Philon tradition, and make season specific clothing

for students to feel proud wearing.

Our fearless leaders reppin’ the t-shirts.
