1' its Nashville meeting held during July, the Supreme Council elected Brother

llti~rge E. Sheetz, of Alpha chapter, as Exec-

She e Secretary of the Fraternity. Brother etz · the li' lS a man upon whom the confidence of eno raternity can be bestowed. He is young hro~gh to have the spirit of the undergraduate essa er and old enough to have the poise nectak ry for the important job he has underen.

n

Ctea:Other Sheetz steps into a new niche gin ed for the Fraternity, a position that be8 lie • a new area in the life of Pi Kappa Phi. the ~s the first full-time officer employed by lli l{ raternity. His interests and energies are the ;Ppa Phi's. He is working constantly for grad raternity, for you brothers in the underha\1 Uate chapters and for you brothers who \\>or~d left ~lma mater and gone out into the Of th · If1s office is to be the clearing house shou~ Fraternity and through him all business h d be transacted. ~or h' and un we bespeak the hearty co-operation A.n assistance of every man in the Fraternity. lind especial appeal is made to the officers of can ergraduate and alumni chapters to heed his ing fromptly and painstakingly. He is workSuer. or the Fraternity and if his task lis to be ·essfully done you must help.

Pi Kappa Phi has taken a big step. A movement has been launched. The Fraternity has reached the point in its development where such a full-time officer was necessary to handle the affairs of the Society. The Executive Secretary is a decided indication of the importance of the Fraternity and his appointment is a step in which all Pi Kapps should take pride.

Warm Welcome for Old Epsilon HAT is the Biblical statement about the shepherd leaving the ninety and nine and going out in search of the one strayed from the fold? What is the statement about the great rejoicing over the recovery of the lost sheep?

While Pi Kappa Phi always rejoices at the addition of a new chapter to its gradually and surely increasing roll it is doubly delighted at the return of a chapter that once enjoyed the privileges of our Fraternity. Joy and thanksgiving at the revival of "old Epsilon," which back in the old days nobly represented Pi Kappa Phi at Davidson College, prevailed throughout the Fraternity last spring.

Now that Epsilon has been duly re-instated and is now a full-fledged member of the Fraternity, we pause here to give official welcome

back into the fold. To the young men of Davidson, who have met the standards set up

by Pi Kappa Phi and who are members of New Epsilon, with inspiring traditions behind, a most cordial welcome is extended.

You have a fine opportunity to live the life of true Pi Kapps. Your example, placed before you by the brothers of the old chapter, is ennobling. We are confident that you will measure up in the fullest fashion. ~\14:.,

The Constitution RE now the new constitution, drafted by the Supreme Council at its summer meeting in Nashville, has reached the various chapters. This revised constitution has been submitted for ratification.

Members of the Supreme Council, armed with authority from the Supreme chapter, at its last meeting in Atlanta, gathered in Nashville, during the hot days of July and for two days and part of two nights, labored unceasingly in the rebuilding of the Fraternity's constitution.

The result of their work has been submitted to the chapters for approval. Carefully study the draft, not with the idea of picking minor flaws, but with the purpose of ascertaining if the work meets the requirements of the Fraternity. Let your vote be thoughtful and remember that the officers, long experienced in the conduct of the Fraternity, have set down what they deem the best working rule for Pi Kappa Phi.

E

A Jf/_/ember Worth While VERY individual, with a spark of ambition, desires· to be a worthwhile part of any organization to which he belongs. Real, red-blooded Pi Kapps, endowed with that fraternal spirit that permeates our Order, surely have the desire to be worthwhile.

Worthwhileness means service. If you are serving your Fraternity you are proving a worthwhile integral.

FIRST CHAPTER LETTER OF OLD EPSILON (Fro111 the Februm-y, 19.12,

STAR AND LAMP)

HOUGH only a month old, we are glad 'o report to all interested brothers the best of conditions and a prosperous outlook. It was through the untiring efforts of Brother John T. Young, formerly of S. C. Beta, that on February 3, 19 12, a charter was granted to . C. Epsilon of Pi Kappa Phi. Much has been accompli shed in the past month and our new hall will be ready for occupancy by March 9. 'vVe are much grieved to report the departure of :Prater Booe to P ittsburgh, where he will join the big leaguer s for this season . Frater Booe was captain of last year's baseball team and is pronounced one of the best players in the south.

Brother Schenck, ed itor-in -chi ef of the 1912 annual, has just completed hi s labor and the book is now off the press. Brother Smith , assistant manager of the annual, is still busily engaged in helping to straighten the accounts.

As soon as it was known that the chapter was to be installed, the Sigma A lph a Epsilon's and the Kappa Sigma' s gave a r ception in the Kappa Sigma hall. There followed in quick succession similar attention s from the Pi Kappa Alpha, then from the Kappa A lph a and Beta Theta Pi together in the Kappa A lpha hall.

Ou r welcome to the fraternity ranks at Davidson has been most hearty and cord ial- not a sing le opportunity has been lost by the S. A.

======================================~ THE STAR AND LAMP

The activities of the college are many and varied. Because of their fight and stamina Davidson athletic teams have won for themselves the well -merited nickname "Wi ldcats." Teams in footba ll, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, wrestling, golf, and shooting are maintained. Social, religious, departmental, debating, musical and honor societies play an important part in the life of the co ll ege. There are four debating societies, a glee c.lub, a dramatic club, and about a dozen honorary fraternities and clubs, Ph i Beta Kappa being included in these. T he publications are The Davidsouian, the weekly newspaper of the coll ege recently adj udged the best coll ege paper in the Carolin as; the Davidson Colleg'c Maga::rine, the literary publication of the coll ege; the Quips and Craulls, the college annua l; and the Y. A1.

C. A. H audbook, issued at the opening of each year.

There are eight national fraternities and two locals. Only during the past year did the faculty grant permission to the fraternities to build and li ve in their own houses, and it is hoped that before very long many of the organi zations will be situated in homes of their own in phce of the cramped quarters which they now occupy. ~·~

NE Saturd ay afternoon in the latter part of A ugust, in Shreveport, La., I was standing on th e corner in front of th e post offi ce awattmg a r ath er delayed appointment when from out of th e noise and bu stl e I hea r d a shout of "Duke."

T. turn ed and saw a taU young man with a three-day gr'Owth of beard, who was dressed in a slouchy pair of kni ckers. Judging by hi s coat of tan I thought he mi ght be a life guard on som e beach in th e Pana ma Canal zone.

After staring at him for about two minutes I fin all y penetrated hi s venee r of whi skers and recogni zed my own broth er of R ho, Bill Helli er , f rom Alabama. Now Bill is reall y a nice-l ooking chap, and of course my couri osity was ar oused as to "why" and "wher efore" as to what he might be doing in my home town without letti ng me know. So I asked what he was do ing here. To whi ch he repli ed that he w ith B roth er Rudy Lane and McLeo d ha d motored from Los A nge les to S hreveport and did not have much time.

I th en inquired "if they were trying to estab.li sh a trans-continental speed record . He said that they had wired broth er A l A ment to make

The report classifies the replies rece ived exactly. 1n this summary there is space only to say that the replies show that fraternities encourage a recognition of and a proper respect for the Deity, encourages moral living, discourages gambling, discourages the u se o f liquor, places a high premium upon friend ship, emphasizes the virtue of honesty and integrity, urges the virtue and practice of charity.

As far as the individual is concerned, it was shown that fraternities si ncerely and earnestly attempt to play their rol e as a vital and helpful part of the machin ery of education by encouraging hig h scholarship, requiring participation in campu s activities and urging coll ege loyalty.

T he weight of influ ence of fraternities in matters pertaining to community interests may properly be su mmarized as follows: Fraternities are intense ly patriotic, promote concord among groups o f different religious and racial and political backgrounds, teach the duty and privilege of serv ice to mankind , denounce snobbery and the fetish of social demarkation on the basis of wea lth or family , foster to a sub stantial extent parti cipation in social se rvice or philanthropi c work.

The report concludes: "lt is apparent that fraternities began as essentially socia l clubs. The premium was on the personali ty of the individual. If he was congenial sociall y and intell ectually he was material for membership . It would seem that the earli er literary purposes which, according to a ll availab le hi stori cal so urces, were the prime interests of th e original (and for th e most part now ex tinct) fraternities, gave way to the club notion.

O ne of the articles is by J. \ Virron Willson , a Kappa Alpha, of the Class of 1908, a nd who was at the Co.llege when Pi Kappa P hi was founded. Perhaps it w ill be of interest to the Fraternity in general to see how he felt about it.

He says: " \ Ve reca ll that a bunch of goo d fellows associated themselves together, declined a charter in a fraternity of nation al fame, and began a new fraternity, which now has chapte rs in many of th e co ll eges of the country with our own Col lege of Charleston as the mother chapter. Th e writer being a member of anoth er fraternity was not connected with this movement, but it has hi s sil ent endorsement and ad mirati on." \ Vill on was one of the most popular men in Co.llege, and I had the pleasure of pl ay ing baseball w ith him two years as catcher when he was shortstop and captain. H e i now cashi er of the Bank of Sparta nburg. 'T'o me, it is just a littl e significant that he, a nother fraternity man , should remember and write about the founding of our Fraternity, after twenty yea rs have passed.

OMAHA PI KAPPS GET ORGANIZED

By C. H. COLLINS 1f T has been the . custom of the Oma~a bunch to meet occasiona lly and have dinner together at some one of Omaha's famous or infamou s eat ing houses . There are about a dozen Nu men located in this burg. \ Ne usua ll y meet about once a month, sometimes selclomer, and each pays for hi s own meal except when Deyo Crane (the vice-presid ent of the Peterson Ba nking Company ) pays for them and then forgets to coll ect f rom the others.

Well , this spring we cleciclecl to organize an alumni chapter in Omaha and we elected Barlow Wetherbee as president and Steve Brown secretary. Now you should know something about Steve Brown. He came to Omaha from clown in Carolin a somew here. \Ve thought it wou ld be on ly fair to the south to make Steve an officer and not Jet Nu chapter hog it all, so Steve became secreta ry. Now, Steve "clone us wrong" and left shortly thereafter.

It then developed that he had been married for eight months without notifying any of us and to make matters worse he went and left town without giving any of us a chance to kiss the bride. We presume that the Equitable told him to leave and we hope he wil l enj oy the New York atmosphere as we ll as we enjoyed having him with us.

Then yo ur humbl e servant became secretary.

'J he bunch tinely got a petition sig ned up and we now have a beautiful charter in black and gold with ribbons o n it and everything.

The fellows decided to do someth ing for the cau se this fall and September 6 we had a real banquet a nd O rpheum party at which we entertained a bunch of likely young fe llows who are attend ing Nebraska this year. We filled them with enthusiasm for Pi Kappa P hi and sent them t·o T incoln rejoicing, leaving it to Archon Morris :- "rl hi s cohorts to do the rest. \ Ve had the pleasure of seeing our old friend "'ncl brother Edw in Partrid g-e at this funrtiO'l .

Judge William S. Kenyon, Iowa A lph a, and Senator James E. Watson, Indiania Alpha, were among the leaders. Judge Kenyon, with 172 votes received the next to the highest vote on the first ballot whi le Senator \Vatson received 79.

At the Inter-fraternity Conference Executive Committee's first meeting, held September 18, at the Delta Kappa Epsilon Club in New York, with Chairman A. Bruce Bielaski presiding, plans were discussed for the next Plenary Conference, scheduled for the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York on November 28 and 29, the Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving Day. s has been the case every year, thi s Conference wi lJ mark another stride forward in interfraternity hi story. Intere st in the Conference is already noticeable in the correspondence between numerous fraternity men and the officers 9f the Interfraternity Conference.

Probab.ly more fraternity men than ever will attend the Conference, although care will be taken that the meetings will not become so large as to be unwieldly. Committee work wilJ again be relied on for the transaction of most of the business. A general luncheon, with dinners of editors and secretaries, are again being planned. In addition, such important allied meetings as the Conference of Locals and the Undergradutes will again be held.

P lans for the Conference are not yet com pleted, but they are going forwa-rd rapidly.

Certainly there is not any lack of enthusiasm on the part of the Conference's officers, if attendance at the first meeting may be taken as a criterion. Fourteen officers were present at the first meeting of the year.-Tnterfratern ity Co nfcrence Bulletin.

BuLLOCK

66GLAD T idings of Great Joy"-such is a fitting title for any news from Eta ch apter as she prepares to enter upon what promises in every way to be the most successful year in he r entire history. Each brother is waiting im patiently fo r the tim e when all will gather 'round a nd we wi ll strive together once more for the g reater advancement of Pi Kappa Ph i. T he great spirit, frequent visits. continu al correspondence, and earnest work on the prospective pledges, whi ch a ll have shown throughout the entire summ er, arc decided indications that each member of the chapter is going to devote hi s every effor t to the increasing of our a lready high stand ing on the J~ mory campus. \11/ e are very sorry to hear that B rothers B. K. Bilbry, Tallassee, A la., Bill Parker., W t·ightsvi ll e, Ga., Roy Dorm in ey, Fitzgerald , Ga., a nd Marshall Vandive r, Rome Ga., will not be back with us this year; however we know that Marsha ll a n d hi s far-famed trumpet will be welcomed by R ho chapter at Washington and Lee, and hope to have the other three back with us by next year. As Boonie Bowen from Charleston, S . C ... was the on.ly man we lost by gradu ation last year we expect to have quantity as well as quality as a characteristic of our chapter this yea r.

T he Pi Kapp spi ri t has been especially hi gh in Atlanta this summer where there has been a continnal round of dances and receptions in honor of the " 1924 Atla nta P ledge Club" of P i Kappa P hi. We feel that we have the pick of the At la nta boys who wi ll enter coll ege t hi s year in th is clu b, and they feel a lmost as if they were already a tr ue follower of the "Star a nd Lamp."

Tn keeping with our growth a nd advancement in other ways, Eta is to have a wonderfu l new house for the coming year. For the first Lime the entire chapter w ill be allowed to stay in the house; so we have secured one la rge t noug h to accommodate them all.

It is the la rgest house on the camp us, has been very attract:vcly furnished, a nd we expect it to make quite a hit w ith the freshmen. T here are a lso several rooms reserved for visiting P i Kapps, a nd we

send a co rdi a l invitation to any who can possibl)' come to see us.

1 The entire chapter wi ll be on hand severn days before school starts in order to co11lplcte . our elaborate plans for rushmg season. 11Y thC time of the next issue of Tm~ STAR AND l.,.l~~~· we expect to have made some very valuable .. d tt10ns to our 1'tst o f pledges, all o f w I10 11 , '''' , measure up to the high standa rd set by tho;~ who are already wearing the '' 1 iamond" of Kappa P hi.

No news, howeve r, was ever received more cordiall y than th e fac t th at "B ig J ack" Caldwell is in the cam1. of Coach Jones. For two years, brother Cald well was a bulwark of strength in the B.lu e Devil lin e a nd this yea r promi ses to be even greater. A long with him , we find brother Pickens working faithfully, w ho received first call for the center posit ion as Coach Jones lin ed up hi s men again st N. C. State September 27.

Drother P ickens deserves a great deal of cred it as he has never before taken part in a football contest, a nd , in addition to thi s, as man ager of basketball, he has already arranged us an in te resting sched ul e. Th e footba l.l team, as a w hole is well taken ca re of und er the able management of brother R ay Downey, who has been with us only two yea rs, but, during that time, he ha s proven a most worthy member.

In addition to I rothers P ickens and Downey, we also have in th e class of '25 Broth er ]. E .

Dempster, Jr., and brother C. H. Pegra m. Th e former is this year's captain of baseball, senior rep resentative on the student coun cil , a nd a member of quite a number of honorary organizat ions.

During the portion of hi s tim e which is not taken up by the ladies, we find brother Pegram a bl y managing The A1·chive, our m onthly publication, a nd we must say in this conn ection that he a lways does things well. Brother Harvey John son, a junio r, w ho has fullbacked for the B lu e Devils for the past two yea rs, has decid ed not to play this year, owing to th e fact that he is going to follow baseball a nd wants to avoid all chances of injury to his throw ing a rm which won for him the position of a ll -state catche r last year.

Brothe r J ohn so n is a power on both offense and defense and will be quite a loss to Coach J ones' squad.

Lest we forget at this tim e we menti on brother " /:il.l " Bail ey who in stituted w restling at Trinity Coll ege and who, for the past two yea rs, has worked wond ers in hi s branch of sport.
