JnC~

Dear Pi Kapp: The new year 1969 has burst forth as has every other new year, but this one could be different for Pi Kappa Phi, because opportunity for growth, development and achievement in our Fraternity has never been better. In retrospect over the past ten years, Pi Kappa Phi has taken on a new growth, a new prospectus, and new objectives. The vision, judgment and support, administratively and financially, of convention decisions has given your elected officials encouragement and new dedication and has made it possible to provide more services to both active chapters and alumni. As a result of these wise decisions, Pi Kappa Phi has prospered through an increase in the number of chapters, improved alumni support, and greater undergraduate participation. In 1958 we had 42 chapters. Today we have 63 chapters with 12 colonies. This is a 50% increase. Our national budget has improved over 300%, and we have initiated over 8,600 new members since 1958. Our alumni financial support from annual dues has increased from $1,200.00 in 1963 to over $19,000.00 in 1968. This support from 1,800 alumni has been used primarily for expansion purposes. It takes on the average of $3,000.00 to colonize, service and bring into being a new chapter. Without this loyal support, we could not afford to continue our rapid and enthusiastic growth. We have approximately 22,000 alumni and 1,800 are paying annual dues of $10.00$25.00 per year. All the while, many others are contributing to their own chapters. We take pride in telling of our expansion program because as present officers we are just newly elected members of a team composed of undergraduate and alumni members all working together. We are building today on foundations laid by those who preceded us-those who have been willing to spend the time in leadership. We are fortunate to have had such progressive national officials as Howard Leake, Ralph Noreen George Helmrich, Frank Hawthorne, AI Head:

John Deimler, Kim Jepson Mel Metcalfe, er, Bell, Jim~ie May, Antho~y Plezer Wagff~er, George Driver, Karl M. Gibbon, Roy Be uo1·e ~· Bernard Jones, and our energetic e:xe~puted d_Irector and staff, all who have con_tri ftB' time, effort and counsel to our groWlllg ternity. Iw . We now look forward with optimism to. ~:eS· nmg for new chapters and improved setV ur· Our objectives are many, but primarily the ~dB· rent active chapters are on top of the age 0ng We. would like to see Pi Kappa Phi first arTI natwnal fraternities in scholarship. I)" ~hrough the Pi Kappa Phi Properties c~;~. ratwn, housing expansion is a constant 0 tn''t tive and will become more and more imP0 r as we expand. pi Many alumni have not realized that thpe1'· Kappa Phi Foundation, successor to the 0rs· ' ereux D. Rice Fund, is now a separate corP~itJt tion supported solely by tax exempt gifts tbBo interest being used for no purpose othe~ suP' scholarships for needy students. Alumn1 port is needed here. ,, nod We now anticipate "70 chapters in 1970. nt· would like to have 10,000 or more alumn 1 ~jt]t ticipating in the annual dues fund to assist expansion costs. ec· I challenge all alumni to think back and ~be ollect some of your college experiences, cis· f!iendships sealed through fraternity as:nde tions, the pleasures enjoyed which were t put possible by brot~ers you probably nev~r. me lind who took the time to organize, petition,. col· charter a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at you5 pel lege or university. It will take only $10-$~ g to year for you to become a live alumni helP 111hn''e sponsor new chapters so that others maY 8csome of the experiences you enjoyed as a:tlrtllo! tive member of your chapter. Very feW ca afford this gesture of brotherhood. Yours in Pi Kappa Phi,

PI KAPP MAX NYE, FROM BUSINESS EXECUTIVE TO MINISTER Brother Max Nye, Gamma, '54, has recently stepped down as Executive Vice President of a large transportation firm-Or stepped up, as you would have it-to begin a career in the ministry. Max said that he was a "nominal Presbyterian" until about three years ago, at which time he and his family were invited by friends to attend an All Saints Church. Sometime later he was persuaded to participate in several Campus Crusades of the church, and Max was very much impressed. However, serious consideration of going into the full time ministry did not start until September of last year. Final commitment to become an Episcopal priest came on his birthday, September 19th. "But actually," he stated, "I have been fully committed to the 1dea of the Lord doing my decision making in my life instead of my doing it -regardless of where it led-for about three years." Max, his wife, Dena, and their four children have subsequently moved to Alexandria, Virginia, where he is attending the Virginia Theological Seminary. After three years in the seminary, he will return to California to be ordained and to serve a church there. 7

My Brothers : I greet you for the first time as your National Scholarship Chairman. I am honored to serve you and our National Fraternity in this capacity. Excellence in every endeavor is the appropriate privilege and obligation of mankind, and it shall be my goal to strive toward establishing this Fraternity in a position of leadership in academics among all Greek letter organizations on the National, the Chapter, and the individual levels. In order to perform this work, I call on each of you-undergraduate and alumnus-to give your National Scholarship Committee your suggestions, your support, and your assistance. With your help, this Fraternity will rise above the commonplace to the extraordinary. The educated man of the present cannot be content to acquire only one discipline well enough to earn his living; he must know a great number of things well in order that he may contribute something worthwhile to the place and time that nourished and protected him. It is not enough that a man may stop and smell the

IOTA-GEORGIA TECH The past several weeks have been busy ones at Iota Chapter. Our house has been the center of attention, with many inside sections, especially the dining room, receiving a fresh coat of paint. We also have plans for the exterior, including construction of a patio directly outside our living room doors, a place used extensively during rush. We hope to have most of the tasks completed by May 1. The Pi Kapps at Georgia Tech have had a successful quarter in athletics, with brothers and pledges participating in basketball, soccer, and bowling. Our bowling team is tied for first place in its league race and probably will soon enter the school championship tourney. Initiation into the brotherhood for twenty neophytes came on February 2, 1969. This group is the largest number ever to be initiated at one time by Iota. That event raised the total number of Pi Kapps at Iota to well over fifty. We have also pledged more new men during the past quarter in hopes of continuing our steady growth and improvement.

Nu again hosted Platte Valley Bible College, one of the finest midwestern four year Bible Colleges, on February 22 in Lincoln, for the annual PVBC-Pi Kappa Phi Basketball Classic. With brilliant play strategy meticulously designed by coach Bill Wesslund, Nu defeated PVBC with a final score of 76-55, allowing the traditional traveling trophy to again rest on Nu's mantle. Among the new arrivals at Nu this semester art! ten newly initiated brothers, a new color TV, presented to the chapter in a joint effort by the pledges and alums, and an ever increasing in popularity monthly undergraduate-alumni noon lun cheon. Although activities this semester on campus have gotten off to a slow start, due in pa1-t to the heavy Nebraska snow, the University of Nebraska celebrated its lOOth birthday on February 15th with a centennial convocation featuring Chancellor-in absentee, and now Secretary of Agriculture, Clifford Hardin as the main speaker. Greek-Week activities are now in the works for early April; and coupled with Rose Formal, district conclave and an all Greek service project sponsored by Nu Chapter, spring promises to be very busy.

XI-ROANOKE COLLEGE Rush at Xi was fantastic! Xi managed to rake off the cream of the rushee crop at Roanoke College. Astounded brothers and Pi Kapp girls watched as the new pledges came down the hill and seventeen good catches came our way. With the new group of pledges-over a third of all men pledged at Roanoke-a new optimism is prevalent and there are great hopes for the future. However, there is sadness, as Mrs. Maude Hancock, housemother here since 1964, is leaving at the end of this semester. All the brothers and pledges here know that it will be extremely difficult to replace one so tolerant and loyal as "Mom" Hancock. Other activity involves the Pi Kapp College, which will be held here in Salem thi s August 24-28. Xi looks forward to being the host again for the many good Pi Kapps from across the nation who will be in attendance.

RHO-WASHINGTON AND LEE Rho Chapter had an excellent first semester. Our academic ranking improved six places on campus, due to strictly enforced quiet hours, and new powers given to the Scholastic Improvement Committee. On December 4, we held a Founder's Day Banquet for the first time in three years. Mr. Herb Hamric, chapter advisor, gave a short talk following dinner. Also invited were Mr. Ruppert Latture, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and long time friend of the House, and Dr. Jefferson Davis Futch, III, our acting faculty advisor. Our pledge program has ended under the successful direction of Warden Buz Sadloch and Pledge Master Mac Squires. One of the highlights of the pledge program was the Second Annual Pledge Olympics. This little exercise took place on a farm outside Lexington. The pledges (who were broken up into two teams) were required to race against each other performing such things as throwing greased pumpkins, eating lemon pies, several dozen hard-boiled eggs, etc., etc. As usual, the Pledge Program concluded with a "Help Week," as the pledge class painted the kitchen and banister and installed both an extra refrigerator and a new quadruple sink for the kitchen. Along with the new sink and refrigerator, a raffle was held so that the House might buy a color TV set. Each Brother sold his parents two raffle tickets over Parents Week-End, and the prize of the raffle was the TV (on the condition that the winner give the TV back to the House). The House will donate an appropriate plaque over the TV giving proper recognition to the donor. Brother Bruce Lee's father was the big contributor, as he was able to get the TV for the House at cost. The House academic awards go to Steve Haughney for the highest average (3.600), closely followed by Andrew

ALPHA ZETAOREGON STATE UNIVERSITY On October 7, 1921, a group of young men petitioned the Student Affairs Committee at Oregon State Agricultural College to have the privilege of forming a club. The Delphi Club, as it was called, was officially recognized on November 9, 1921, and on February 16, 1923, the Delphi Club became a Local Fraternity, going by the name of Delta Phi Sigma. By May of 1923, the founders of Delta Phi Sigma were looking towards a national fraternity system and with the help of Roy Heffner, Grand Archon of Pi Kappa Phi, and George Allen Odgers, district inspector for Pi Kappa Phi, they made their decision. On February 18, 1924, these men had decided to petition the National Fraternity of Pi Kappa Phi for acceptance as a chapter, and on September 28, 1924, Pi Kappa Phi officially announced the granting of the necessary petition. Delta Sigma, originally a group of men with common ideals and goals, had now joined a national organization with the same purpose only on a larger scale. December 21, 1924, was the official beginning of Alpha Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi; and from then on, it has grown. The founders of our chapter had strong convictions, united goals, plus a lot of foresight, but it's also evident, from the growth of our chapter, that the succeeding members have also displayed these qualities. In fact, with the cornerstone laid, each successive group of men living here has added and built onto these basic principles. The whole point of our Fraternity system is that it grows and develops with experience and that each man who has lived in this chapter house has, in some way, contributed to that growth. Just as each man's contribution leaves its mark in the structure and success of the chapter, each Pi Kapp of Alpha Zeta Chapter is charged with the responsibility of guiding and assuring the chapter's continuation. I am, therefore, asking that all my brothers who have gone before me take pride in the structure and traditions that they have laid down and that all of these brothers continue giving their guidance and support so that they may nurture what they so proudly took part in building.-C. Phillips, Historian.

p~ I 19 69

In the few months that we have been involved in the 1968-69 school year, many things hav~ happened to Alpha Eta which have strengthened the ties of Brotherhood, as well as pushed us even further into the number one slot on campus. The year was off with a bang in September when we pledged a record breaking thirty-two men. Not only was this the largest pledge class on campus, it is by far the sharpest. . . . With rush coming at the begmmng of the mtramural ! football season, the team was strengthened in several areas by the new pledges. We finished in second place with a record of six wins and three losses - another record broken for "the winningest Fraternity on campus." Upon returning from the Thanksgiving holidays it was the honor of Alpha Eta to celebrate Founder's Day with National President, Charles Tom Henderson. In his after dinner speech, he stressed above all, that the more we promote Pi Kappa Phi, the more active we will be in other areas of our college life. Alpha Eta shares this philosophy as in our midst, we claim Junior Class Vice President, President of the Freshman Class, Senior and Sophomore Senators, Editor of the School Yearbook one Varsity Cheerleader, one Freshman Cheerleader three members and Treasurer of Omicron Delta Kappa, two Brother~ lis~e~ in Who's Who in American Colleges and Umvers1bes, and many other officers in varied organizations. Another important facet of Brother Hend~r son's address was Scholarship. No one was as surpnsed as we when we averaged the grades to find that the Chapter had a 1.73 average (of a possible 3.0) for the Fall

semester. This was aided by six brothers being placed on the Dean's List and a rigid program of pledge study halls. It has been the recent, sad privilege of the chapter to set up the Stephen Dale Williams Memorial Scholarship Fund in memory of our Brother who was taken from us in a tragic automobile accident last summer. Around $3,300.00 has already been donated through the efforts of Steve's father, his church, and the chapter. Because it is set up through the school, the Scholarship will be given yearly from the interest on the principal, which insures the perpetual nature of the award. The plans for the "Impossible Dream" of Alpha Eta are nearing completion, and we are in high hopes of a September move to a new thirty-man fraternity house, to be the first fraternity dorm on the Samford campus. It has taken many years and much hard work in order for the chapter to come as close to this reality as it has. Even as we are almost within reach of the house, we realize that there are still many obstacles to overcome before the dream comes true. It is our sincere hope that we will be able to announce the ground-breaking ceremonies within the next two months. If it does become a reality, there will be no single person to thank, but the brothers who have led the chapter before and the support of alumni and above all, the National Office, will be our benefactors.

The men of Beta Delta hope to be able to take this semester's scholarship trophy. The over-all house average for the fall semester was a 2.59, nearly threehundredths of a grade point better than last spring's average of 2.56. The House again hopes to secure the trophy, which has been absent from the house for over a year. Last spring's average, though only five thousandths of a grade point lower than the winner of the IFC A ward, enabled Beta Delta to finish no better than fourth over-all on campus. In athletics, the. house has ~rought in two trophies thus far, and a third place fimsb by the bowling team in the tough Classic League proved that Beta Delta's bowlers can compete with anyone on campus. Playing in the first place slot most of the season, bad luck and close losses kept the squad from finishing best at Drake.

BETA IOTA-UNIVERSITY OF TOLEDO Beta Iota's second quarter rush proved relatively successful as we pledged seven men.

BETA KAPPA-GEORGIA STATE Beta Kappa Chapter is proud to announce the initiation of ten men into the Brotherhood of Pi Kappa Phi: they are David Baker, John Glaze, Dick Hope, French Jones, Larry Korbow, Jack Nicks, Jim Nicks, John Oxford, Marian Smith, and Mack Williford . Other new members of the chapter are the new pledges obtained thus far in winter quarter informal rush. These are Bruse Latimer, Alan Morris, Tom Morris, Buddy Moss, David Roundtree, Fred Terry and Steve Willingham. Beta Kappa Chapter captured the football crown this year through the investment of much hard work on the practice field and through the coaching of Archon, Lynwood James. Since this is the first athletic championship earned by the Pi Kappa since 1964, the Brothers and Pledges were quite enthusiastic with the 'vinning season. Two brothers to receive honors on the Georgia State campus are Archon, Lynwood James, who is to be listed in the current Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and Brother Larry Alexander who was given the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and placed second in command of the Georgia State R.O.T.C. Cadet Corps. The "Feed the Children Drive," Beta Kappa's annual drive to collect food for the needy families in and around the Atlanta Area, was a success this year with the final accumulation of an estimated $1,200 worth of foodstuffs. Brother Stan Duren was in charge of this service project.-S. Halula, Historian.

BETA LAMBDA-UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA The Brothers of Beta Lambda started the Spring semester with an Open House which proved to be very successful. It gave the rushes an early chance to see the house and meet the Brothers. Extensive work is being d one to improve the house. The foyer is being paneled, the rooms painted, and the yard cleaned. Each improvement increases our chances for a larger and better pledge class. Intramurals are going well for the Pi Kapps. At the half-way mark, we were in second place and chances are good for picking up more points in basketball, swimming, and wrestling. The social calendar has been one of the main attractions this semester, and more social events are being planned. Greek Week-end is just two weeks away, and plans are being made for the Rose Ball, which is the grand event of the year. With the debt paid to National, and a large pledge class expected, the Brothers are looking to a pleasant and enjoyable semester.

BETA OMICRONN. W. STATE COLLEGE-LOUISIANA Alumni advisor Jack McCain, first initiate of Beta Omicron, recently presented the chapter with the KARL M. GIBBON AWARD for 1967-1968.

The Brothers of Beta Omicron are proud to announce that they have also obtained the highest fraternity average, pledge and active, on campus. Recently we were awarded the spirit stick, which is given away after each football game to the group showing the most spirit, because we have won it more than anyone else for the entire season. Pi Kapps on "Greek Hill" have added twenty new brothers to our fast growing chapter. The brothers are making plans to participate in "Greek W eek," which is scheduled for the week of April 21-27.

GAMMA BETA-OLD DOMINION Second semester at Gamma Beta has started off with rush, which is now an open rush all semester. The I.F.C. feels this will be advantageous to all fraternities because all will be able to pick up men at any time. ' Gamma Beta has seemingly adjusted to this new method . We now have nine new pledges and five men are re-pledging to give us a total of fourteen. They are mostly upper-classmen and show great potential. Our rush schedule was set up for an entire week, with parties every night from 7 to 9 p.m. Refreshments were provided by the rushees. Pledging ceremonies were held Sunday night and afterwards all went down for a short congratulatory get together at the River Terrace Inn. The chapter will contrive to have an informal program of rush all semester. Two Brothers are returning to the chapter after an extended leave of absence. Both Carl Robertson and Carl Womack are returning from tours in Viet Nam. Our trophy case has a new addition, as the result of a second place turnout for the school blood drive. This trophy has been won for the second year in a row. Gamma Beta is working with a new slate of officers this semester. The Archon is Frank Machnick; Treasurer is Joe Ryan; Secretary is Bob Wolfe; Warden is John Van Huizen; Historian is David Posey ; and Chaplain is Gene Severance.- D. Posey, Historian.

GAMMA GAMMATROY STATE UNIVERSITY This year has been a very eventful year for Gamma Gamma Chapter as well as Troy State University. Gamma Gamma began this year by initiating sixteen men into Pi Kappa Phi. Troy State University won the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics football championship. Our chapter had the privilege of having seven men on our great team. Of these men, Don Hatcher and Doug Taylor made all-conference and placed on the all-district teams. Taylor was voted "outstanding lineman" in the championship game and set a NAIA record by catching three touchdown passes in the final game. Winter quarter started with our chapter pledging forty-two men. This is the largest pledge class in Gamma Gamma's short history, and we feel that it will be a continuation of the fine Brothers of our chapter. The men who are leading our chapter this year are: Archon, Butch Etheridge; Treasurer, Johnny Campbell; Secretary, Doug Taylor; Warden, Jack Majors; Historian, Bubba Goodwin; and Chaplain, Butch Cauthen. Another outstanding Brother is Eddy Hollington, our IFC representative, who was also recently elected president of the Student Government Association at Troy State. Our chapter has also won intramural championships in football, basketball and badminton.-B. Goodwin, Historian.

GAMMA DELTA-MEMPHIS STATE This year has been the best yet for Pi Kapps at Memphis State. The Brothers are proud of our new pledges, our leaders on campus, our intramural success, our AllSing victory, and the beautiful job the Sweetheart Club is doing. The Brothers started off the Spring semester with the initiation of six new Brothers. The new initiates are Herb Blow, Calvin Flowers, David Lowery, Bob Montgomery, Allen Paine, and Steve Quinn. Pi Kapp leaders on campus are the Treasurer of the IFC, a Supreme Court Justice, and several committee

chairmen on the IFC. Two of our Brothers, Ed Savage and Steve Cox, were selected to join the new Greek honorary, the Order of Omega. As Spring elections are coming around soon, the Pi Kapps plan to run several of the Brothers for other offices on campus. Our intramural success has also been rewarding, as we added two new trophies. We finished third in softball, first in the Turkey Trot, and seventh in basketball. Right now we are four and one in bowling. In our first try at the campus All-Sing competition we came away with the first place trophy for our poster: The Sweethearts' Club of Gamma Beta are proving to be of invaluable assistance to us. Not only have they helped out in rush and the open house for the pa1·ents but they have set up a fashion show for March 23, i~ which all sororities will participate. All the money they make will go to the fraternity for the purchase of a color television.

GAMMA EPSILONWESTERN CAROLINA UNIVERSITY The Brothers of Gamma Epsilon were somewhat surprised last summer when our chapter received the Champion Master Chapter Award. Since that time we have been working to improve ourselves with the aim of receiving the same award this year. Our efforts to improve the chapter have been centered in several areas. First, we have worked hard to improve our relationship with the community. We have sponsored a fund raising drive, which resulted in our purchasing a jeep for the Jackson County Rescue Squad. And thus far, the brothers and pledges have contributed more than 200 man-hours of work in service to C. J. Memorial Hospital in Sylva, North Carolina. Our chapter publication, which placed third last year, has been improved and expanded this year. We intend to give more coverage to alumni and campus news. This year the chapter is more involved individually with campus and student government organizations. Brother Charles Sutton is student body president and Brothers Rick Keeler and David Huskins are on the Student Senate. Numerous brothers also serve on student and faculty committees. Dave Brown and pledge Eddie McGinnis are the University Mascots. Bill Biggers is Chef de Cabinet of the 1969 Middle South Model United Nations, as well as president of several organizations. This spring we will host the Area XIII Conclave. We have planned a unique and interesting program and are looking forward to seeing the Pi Kapps from other chapters in this district. This year we have also tried to improve ourselves by emphasizing those things which make us Pi Kapps in our daily lives and not just when we are with the brothers. This helped us in our winter rush, which brought in nineteen pledges.

GAMMA ZETA-WEST VIRGINIA TECH On January 10, Gamma Zeta initiated 20 new brothers into the chapter to bring our total membership to 56. Our Rush and Pledge program also produced a 22 man pledge class for this semester. On March 1st, we held our 2nd Annual Rose Ball. The dinner-dance was a formal affair held at the Charleston House. The dinner began at 7:30 and lasted until 8:30. Steak dinners were served, and after the dinner, we crowned Gamma Zeta's Rose Queen of 1969. Our Queen is Miss Joyce College, an 18-year-old freshman majoring in Secretarial Science from Saint Albans, West Va. During the semester, we have continued to make improvements in the house. The first floor of the house has been remodeled and the second floor hallway is now being worked on. New furniture has been purchased for the living room. The big event of the year, as always, was the Raft Race on April 19th. On Friday evening, there was an informal get-together at the beach at Glen Ferris Falls. The race began at 11:00 on Saturday morning. A dance was held that evening at the Falls View National Guard Armory. "If you didn't attend the raft race, you just plain missed the boat."

Those elected to office were : Jay Arnold, Archon· Terry Bish, Treasurer; Jeff Blank, Secretary; J oh~ Foust, Historian; and Harry Butcher, Chaplain. Much of our accomplishments we owe to the help, inspiration and guidance of our colonizer, Jack Casper. Jack is a member of Alpha Upsilon Chapter at Drexel.

Once again, we have had a very successful Fall rush and have gained twenty-two pledges. At the present time members of our colony hold more offices on campus than' all other fraternities combined. We now hold the offices of President of the Student Body; President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Men's Athletic Association; eight Legislative Council members; President and Secretary of the Senior Class; two Judicial Council members; Editor of the School newspaper; three out of eight recently elected outstanding seniors; two members of Who's Who in Colleges in America; Vice-Chairman of the Pan-Hellenic Council ; three members on the Varsity basketball team; and two members of Sigma, an honorary Science and Mathematics Society.

The Brotherhood cheered the Oglethorpe basketball team to a 24-4 record and a post season spot in the NCAA Regional Conference Tournament. Pi Colony won the "Spirit Jug" Award during three successive games. At the end of the season, we were presented with a "Spirit Award Pennant" signed by all the players of the Oglethorpe team. This semester Pi Colony will be stressing more communications with other Pi Kapp Chapters and colonies. We feel stronger ties among the chapters are essential for the understanding of the issues which confront the fraternity and its environment. We are taking steps for greater participation on the campus and have recently had Brother Bob Koff elected to the office of Treasurer of the Oglethorpe Inter-Fraternity Council.
