Dr. George Odgers, Merit Citation Recipient Golden Legion.

Many other comments and reflections have been heard about our fra" ternity. But are we in Pi Kappa Phi any different?

As in all organizations, our participations in, our contributions to, and our benefits from this brotherhood have been and always will be as varied and diverse as we are ourselves.

Fraternities in the American educational system, ~~bt, pr~sent! and most likely in the future, are a du ~~anbal aid to turning out happier and more procitf Ive men, better husbands .and fathers, better b t zens. On campus, fraternities provide a "bridge" c~mween home and family life . . . and the more The plex Pr.essures of society and the business world. but ~ contmue the warmth and personal interest, the rom ~ new and broader family standpoint. At fo same time they provide new spurs and incentives m~ rrore classroom learning, greater sports achieveeren ' more . complete social development, and intr ~sed participation in group activities. They in"g~ uce and acclimate young men to the necessary 1 in ;.;:. a~d take" of their future lives, particularly Is emocratic society.

They will survive, they will grow, and ~ fut Y Will make even more contributions in the ure.

W;i Kappa Phi is a part of this fraternity system. can take pride in our share of this contribution.

But are we any different?

We do not seem to stress any one field of activity or achievement by vow or encouragement. We are not a fraternity of athletics, although we continue to help provide athletes of All-American calibre in all sports. We are not a fraternity of "egg heads," al~hough we s.t rongly encourage academic accomplishment at both the national and local levels. We are not a fraternity of "socialites," although our graduate members may include as high a ratio of the socially prominent as any other. Rather, we do seem to be a little more of the family character.

We seem to encourage both our undergraduates and our graduates to "do their own thing, but do it well!"

What do you think? Is Pi Kappa Phi any different?. Do we have our own image? If so, is it of any Importance that we put our finger on it?

Introspection can be of value to an organization as well as to the individual. When we know bette~ what we are, we know better what we can do, where we can go, what we can achieve. Certainly we can be more forthright, honest, and influential in our presentations of Pi Kappa Phi to rushees and prospective new brothers.

Are we more of "a family"? Is our brotherhood "a very personal thing"? Are we "a more personal fraternity"?

Your thinking, your reactions, your knowledge and experiences in Pi Kappa Phi, as a student or an alumnus, will be of very real value in this ~elf­ appraisal of our fraternity.

Council in Session in Charlotte

1

, i i (

We had the pleasure of being with the National Council in Charlotte for their annual meeting, on the weekend of November 5 and 6. Our purpose in being there was not just for observation, but we were asked to participate by making suggestions and comments and to represent the undergraduates of our fraternity.

It became apparent to us from the start that these men, diversified as they are in occupations and interests, are Pi Kapps first. The accomplishments which were made in the two days of meetings reflect the enthusiasm and the genuine personal interest of these seven men, and the topics of discussion invariably showed their concern for the undergraduate.

We were proud to witness that our fraternity is a true democracy. All decisions made, were done so after careful consideration and only after all ramifications of the issue were explored. The vote was then taken and for practically one-hundred per cent of the meeting the decisions were unanimous.

One other fact which also deserves mention is that all decisions made were done so in the best interests of Pi Kappa Phi, and that no geographical section of the United States received preference over any other.

Some of the points brought forth during the meeting are as follows: 1) The Summer issue of the Star and Lamp will

be a directory.

2) The members of Mu Chapter (Duke) were suspended because they had made it known theY wished to dis-affiliate.

3) That the last Pi Kapp College was not onlY a learning experience for undergraduates but also alumni. It was mentioned that the alumni in attend· ance were impressed by the conduct and spirit of the students.

4) A two acre lot has been purchased for the con· struction of the new National Office. The old one presently boasts a leaking roof (however, only wheJI it rains).

5) The coordination of ALEC (Alumni Leader· ship Educational Conferences) is well under waY' these are basically week-end meetings, at majot cities, which involve the National Office Staff an~ 1 the local alumni. Their intent is to promote alumn interest toward the chapters in the area.

6) The creation of an alumni committee to helP 1 guide educational programs; such as Pi Kapp Co1 lege, Chapter Retl"eats, Area Conclaves, ALEC, etc. This committee is chaired by Ron Krebs, the new National Chaplain.

7) It was noted that pledging and initiatioJI1 were up for Pi Kappa Phi, while other nation11 fraternities were experiencing a downward tren~ 8) A new White Diamond has been distribute to the chapters. This publication is geared to today'S trends, yet it does justice to the phrase, "Pi Kapp9

Ph·I, A Very Personal Experience."

9) F~nds were appropriated for Tony Brown's ~ork With the Scholarship Committee. Tony Brown Is a so researching the fraternity history.

10) Pi Kappa Phi is coordinating an employment 8 erv~ce program, for Pi Kapps, both employers and n~P oyees, due to the efforts of Jerry GallupsIrector of Alumni Affairs.

11) The state of Georgia was divided into two ~retahs (prior to the meeting it was one area) due 0 e number of chapters in Georgia.

V 12) A discussion of the Unanimous Blackball thote Cfi~~ before the Council. It was decided that the Criticisms of the Select Study Committee and e Council of Archons will be forwarded to all chapters. It was also agreed upon by the Council and

ourselves, that this is a matter for the undergraduates to decide. Therefore, at the Supreme Chapter, this August, we the undergraduates, will decide what our fraternity policy will be regarding this matter.

We observed a pride in our fraternity that few people can equal in the fraternity world and the love exhibited for brothers, be they student members, graduate members, or those passed on to the Chapter Eternal, made the whole experience worthwhile in itself. We observed a drive to accomplish and a drive not only to perpetuate, but to strengthen the prestige of our fraternity. This is our National Council as we observed them. A truly unified body with one purpose in mind Pi Kappa Phi. Here also is a visual example of the fraternity axiom, "Once a Pi Kapp Always a Pi Kapp.

Otis R. McCollum, Chairman of the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation, has reported that 245 members of Pi Kappa Phi contributed a total of $4,650.50 to the Foundation during 1971 in response to the first large scale drive among Pi Kapps.

The foundation was seeking to raise funds for loans and scholarships, as well as for various programs to encourage scholarship among all members of Pi Kappa Phi. Alumni of Kappa Chapter at the University of North Carolina contributed $250, to lead in total funds coming from the initiates of a single chapter.

The University of Alabama's Omicron Chapter led in the number of members of a single chapter giving with 11.

The Foundation Trustees attribute the success of this initial campaign to the inspiration and effort of fellow Trustee Richard A. Viguerie, President of Richard A. Viguerie Company, Inc., a direct mail advertising and fund raising firm in Washington, D. C.

Being new doesn't necessarily make somethin~ better however, you never know until you try. Pt Kappa Phi, the very personal fraternity, will never be accused of not at least trying as an exampl~ the new educational manual, "The White Diamond' (formerly pledge manual). Traditionally, the Fra.. ternity has followed the crowd in developing pledges as potential members succeeding quite frequentlY in creating good pledges, but also too frequently, not so good members. In addition, the traditional concept of "pledge class" unity has too often car.. ried over into the chapter with resulting clics being' developed.

Today's student, more mature and more learned than many of us in the past, demands and expects more creative treatment than the former concept of pledge subservant to member procedure alloWS· Now he expects, and receives, a more relative pro.. gram of activity, participation, and learning.

In order to see eye to eye with today's youth v;e must program accordingly and the new White Dia.. mond does just that. The member, or more nearl1 equal counterpart, is to receive an education. The Membership Recruitment-Education (MRE) pro.. gram is designed with just that in mind. This ne\\' educational manual is to supplement the MRE con.. cept and also serve as an excellent educational and reference tool for all Pi Kapps. Copies can be ordered from The National Office at a cost of $1.75 for one, and $1.50 for 5 or more.

Jerry Matthews, former Director of Student Affairs for the National Office and now Assistant Dean for Residential Programs at the University of Oklahoma, is heading up a very dynamic group of young men who are hard at work on expansion planning for Pi Kappa Phi. The general purpose of this committee as stated in their report to the National Council in November i.s to charter no less than 5 chapters of Pi Kappa Phi per year at acceptable colleges and universities throughout the United States. Brother Matthews said, "This figure is merely a base point. Our emphasis will be to charter as many chapters as possible."

Since expansion possibilities and information come from all phases and levels of the fraternity and substantially affect the total fraternity it is necessary that coordination flow through some central committee. The expansion committee receives information from many levels, the National Office, the National Council, and interested alumni and student members. This information is evaluated by the committee and appropriate steps are taken.

Brother Matthews emphasized that the committee will be interested in expansion prospects in all areas of the country, but said, "a primary emphasis will be developing the fringe areas of chapter strength around the southeastern core. This will not eliminate expansion in the southeast as we anticipate expansion there to be easily accomplished through existing strength of student chapters, alumni chapters and alumni volunteers. However, our emphasis and work will be in the northeast, midwest, west, and some selected southeastern states."

Committee members are Jim Daley, former field secretary now living in Bloomington, Indiana; John Davis, former field secretary now in Cincinnati, Ohio; Peter S. Berg, Little Silver, New Jersey; Munsey Moore, Chase City, Virginia; and Ted Scharfenstein, National Vice President and Council Coordinator for the program, Birmingham, Alabama.

In their report to the Council the committee called for, "thoughts and comments on any phase of expansion from the members of Pi Kappa Phi so that we might know if we are starting in the right direction."

The Alumni Leadership Education Conference Program (ALEC) is forging ahead for the 70's.

This new concept in communication between alumni and undergraduates, and the National Office, has gained ground in the last four months with meetings in Macon, Ga.; Atlanta, Ga.; Columbia, S. C. ; Knoxville, Tn. ; Birmingham, AI. ; Memphis, Tn.; Baton Rouge, La.; Montgomery, AI.; Gainesville, Fl. ; St. Petersburg, Fl. ; Dallas, Tx. ; and Oklahoma City, Ok.. Attendance at the meetings has run the gamut from fantastic to dismally disappointing. The results of each meeting in the areas of renewed enthusiasm, better understanding, and better personal communication, have been phenomenal.

ALEC meetings, which are open to anY Pi Kapp, are one day workshop type conferenceS· They consist of lectures, slide presentations, filJll, discussions, and general conversation sessions.

If you have not yet attended an ALEC meeting, you are encourag.ed to do so at the first opportunitY· When an ALEC meeting is to be held in your area, announcements will be made well in advance so that you can make plans. Meetings are now in planning stages for the northeastern and western states.

If you would like to have an ALEC in your area, write the Director of Alumni Affairs.

Almost 20 years ago Florida Southern College ~yed all their fraternities on the campus. Pi Kappa I left behind a sprawling Georgian colonial offc~tmpus mansion to move into a "functional" housing SI uation.

One by one all of the other nine fraternities on campus remodeled or completely rebuilt their on ca~~us structures. The school owns the buildings ~n . It was a long uphill fight before the adminisp.a~on finally agreed in January 1970 to allow the r I ap~a Phi's to remodel. Finally in early 1971, t enovation was complete. Since that time, with asteful decoration and the hanging of artwork by w~e very talented brothers, this Frank Lloyd . rhght designed building has come into its own rig t as one of the showplaces of the campus. ~l'~nk Lloyd Wright, who designed most of the fulldmgs on the campus, wanted the entire campus ~ ~end into the natural surroundings.

ALUMNI BRIEFS Shep Bryan, class of 1915 at UNC-Chapel Hill, and the oldest alumnus of Kappa Chapter celebrated his 50th wedding anniversary recently. Congratu· lations Shep!

OLD TIMERS MEETING HELD IN VANCOUVER, B. C. Twenty-eight members of the old Canadian Club (the local that later became Alpha Delta Chapter at the University of Washington) brought their wives and families to a three day reunion in October.

The meeting was held at the Bayshore Inn, Vancouver, B. C., and marked the first time many of the men had been together since college days, more than 50 years ago. Frank Walthall and Ralph Snider were two of the prime movers in this long overdue get together.

The event celebrated the 51st anniversary of the founding of the Canadian Club and the 50th anniversary of Clii Upsilon Chi (the greek name for the colony) and before they left, plans were started for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the chartering of Alpha Delta of Pi Kappa Phi, to be held in 1974.

OMEGA WILL CELEBRATE 50th Omega chapter at Purdue is planning a big cele-bration in the fall of this year to mark the 50th anniversary of the chartering of their chapter. Bill Cohee, chairman of the event, is looking for alumni help. Anyone interested?

Brother Jepson, who died May 11, 1971 of a heart attack, had served the Fraternity well since his initiation at Michigan State University in 1934. He first joined the National Council in 1962, before then he had been president of the fraternity's District IX, and had served several years as president of the Alpha Theta Housing Corporation. At the time of his death, he was president of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc. His personal charisma, ingenuity, and unswerving devotion to Pi Kappa Phi was an example and a guiding light to many young brothers. It was not unusual to see Kim Jepson, the retired advertising executive, complete with beard, pipe, and pixie like twinkle in the eye, sit down with a room full of college freshmen and tell them why Pi Kappa .Phi was worth a life time devotion.

Brother Jepson has been memorialized by the Pi Kappa Phi Scholastic Foundation in the form of a fund for the establishment of the Kim Jepson Memorial Library in the New National Office, by the National Office in the form of the Kim Jepson Memorial Feature Writing Contest of the Star & Lamp, and now by the National Council action naming him Mr. Pi Kappa Phi, posthumously.

The 1972 Pi Kappa Phi Supreme Chapter (National Convention) will be held in August at the beautiful Regency-Hyatt House in Atlanta, Georgia. What better time and place to rekindle the spirit and enthusiasm we have all felt at one time or another for Pi Kappa Phi? This great southern city exemplifies young, active, spirited, growth.

Known as the "hub of the south," Atlanta is also the hub of a vacation wonderland encompassing the southeast offering all convention goers a family oriented vacation. From its humble beginning in 1837 as a railway terminal, through its turbulent years as the supply center of the Confederacy, until today when Atlanta stands as the show place of the south, convention goers and travelers alike have streamed through this city by the millions.

This year those millions of people will see something a little different coming to Atlanta. They will see a very personal experience in the form of Pi Kappa Phi's from all over the nation gathered together in a spirit of fun and brotherhood.

Come on along. Explore the museums, underground Atlanta, the mysteries of one of America's great growing cities, and most of all experience the fun and excitement of being a Pi Kapp in the 1970's.

Make your plans today for Atlanta, August 2730. Watch for more details in the next issue.

On a map of the United States draw a line from New York to New Orleans, then from Chicago to Jacksonville. The two lines will cross almost exactly at Atlanta. At this point in November, 1864, General Sherman sounded the death knell of the Confederacy at the battle of Atlanta. Withstanding this blow, Atlanta began to grow and prosper.

Henry Grady, the great editor of the Atlanta Constitution and voice of the New South envisioned the growth of Atlanta in his 1886 speech when he said, "Her Soul is stirred with the breath of a new life.

The light of a grander day is falling fair on her face.

She is thrilling with consciousness of growing power and prosperity."

Today Atlanta is the business, industrial, transportation, education, trade, culture, sports, communications, and FUN center of the Southeast.

It is also host city for the 34th Supreme Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi to be held August 27 - 30, 1972, at the most strikingly beautiful new hotel in the world - The Regency Hyatt House. If you haven't made your plans yet, get busy.

The award, which was named for Carl's father, is given to the graduating senior who has given of himself most unselfishly throughout his days in the undergraduate chapter. Ragnar Johnson, Alpha 69, dedicated his life to the fraternity for the entire fifty years of his membership.

Alpha chapter has been notified that it has until March 1, 1972, to vacate its present house before the College of Charleston takes it over as part of the college expansion program. With just over a month remaining Brother Harry Freeman and other members of the housing corporation have been working ambitiously on our housing situation.

The Lowcountry Alumni Association has recently elected officers for the 1972 term. They are: President-Otis Engelman, Vice-President Noel Fuller, Secretary-Treasurer·Bill Neely, and members of the executive committee Samm McConnell, Henry Viohl, and Bobby Marlowe.

BETA

PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE

Homecoming weekend, Beta sponsored the Pondo-prix, an endurance bicycle race. Participation was excellent, the merchants of Clinton offered many prizes, and all the Pi Kapps had a great time organizing this event.

In the Miss South Carolina-U.S.A. pageant, which is to be held this spring, Beta Chapter will sponsor a contestant, Miss Kay Crissey. Kay is a sophomore at Presbyterian College.

A blood donation project has begun at Beta Chapter. We hope to continue this as an annual project.

Also, Beta Chapter has begun to work toward building a fraternity house. We hope to get school approval soon and could possibly break ground before the end of this school year. We are looking for alumni support.

GAMMA UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT BERKELEY Due to National's restrictions on what can and cannot be said in the Star & Lamp, Gammamen find themselves at a loss of words (hell, what else is there but socials, parties, pranks and anything else that leads to a real ball). The Gamma philosophy of "don't let school interfere with your education" leads to many interesting and sometimes constructive activities.

We want to thank all of the chapters who have been put-

ting up 'lost and lorn' Gammamen, who in their wandering plights across the country have to stumble into such remo~e areas as New York, Chicago, and Roanoke, Va. Sometime ~n February Gammamen will be invading Louisiana for a wiente roast with the brothers of Beta Omicron.

With the coming of the school year, Gamma had eight new pledges living in the house. They are Carson Creecy, George Soennen, Calixto Manriquez, Phil Uheisa, Joe Fanelli, Rick Holliday, Dennis MaHoney and Mike McBride.

New officers are; Archon, Fred D' Alo; Treasurer, Mike Ingram; Secretary, Gary "Honorable Horns" Shoemaker; Warden, Kent Russell; Historian, John Hart; and Chaplain, Stan Shephard.

IOTA

GEORGIA TECH

Under the leadership of Archon Jack Smith, the brothers of Iota prepared the house for Fall Rush by repainting t~e dining area and the upstairs and by purchasing new furn l" ture for the television room. The Iota pledge program baS continued to stress innovation and change. We have initiated eleven men into Pi Kappa Phi this fall, one was an alumnus initiate.

Iota's pal"ticipation in non-fraternity activities has con" tinued to increase. The activities include Jack Smith's eleC" tion as president of Tech's chapter of Tau Beta Pi, the nation's top engineering honorary. Gene Williams and tW0 other brothers have been placed in charge of the Arrna ROTC brigade at Tech. Brother John Manry has joine Darrel Johnson and Dan Webby on the Georgia Tech wreS" tling team. All are undefeated.

In intramural athletics last spring, Iota was named nu~" her one. This fall our football team took third place 111 our division.

This year we had working entries in the Wreck and DiS" play Competition. The Wreck almost made it to the Judges Stand! Our homecoming crew built a fantastic display wbic~ towered over the house. The display had seven independen motions and required over 110,000 pomps. It took us ovel' three weeks to construct. The fraternity was proud to take second place among the thirty entries.

We are designating this year's Rose Ball as a reunio.ll for our alumni over a four year period. We are hoping thtS will give our alumni a chance to get back together and rene~ their friendships. We would like all alumni to attend.

Many improvements have been made to our house during this semester. Landscaping of the front of our house with shrubbery donated by Brother Charles Hazlehurst, a new sign added to the front of the house, new fut. niture, resurfacing of the driveway, new spotlights, new volleyball net, and a new horseshoe pit, were all accomplishments of this semester.

The brother hood would like to express their thanks to the following individuals who have given much of tl?-eir time and energy for the betterment of the brother hood. Ftrst of all, to our Chapter Advisor, Brother David F. McAllister, Brother Ernest Stepp, Jr. who attended this past summer's Pi Kapp College, spoke on fraternity public relations, and to our housemother Mrs. Sneed who left last May. The Pi Kapps here really do miss her .

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA

Being among the student body leader~ ?n th<: University of Georgia campus has become a . tradition With Lambd!l Chapter. This year Brother Pat SWindall was elected President of the Student Body of the University of Georgia. With a student body of close to twenty thousand students, this is a real honor for Brother Swindall. The Brothers of Lambda Chapter are extremely proud of Brother Swindall .

Aside from the title of "President of Student Body," the title of "Little Sister" has also found a home here at Lambda Chapter. This year we initiated a little sister program. The girls have developed this program to the point where their charm touches every part of our fraternity life.

The Little Sisters recently hosted a chapter Christmas party. . . .

The title of Ping Pongs certainly seems to be an appropriate one for the brothers this year after winning the Ping Pong championship in the fraternity intramural program. R.umor has had it that we may t·etire the paddles of Brothers Jtmmy Davis, Neal MacFadden, Hugh Maddux and Mike Trouche who brought this glorious victory home to us. As far as our entire intramural program goes, Brother Steve Jordan (Athletic Chairman) says "we are not going to go for second place this year in over all fraternity in tramurals. We are going all the way to the top this year. 1st place or bust!"

All indications thus far say that we may just reach Brother Jordan's goal. .

We anticipate a banner year and would hke to have some alumni come by to share it.

ROANOKE COLLEGE

Xi Chapter is celebrating its fifty-fifth anniversary this year. Last year's formal rush ended with the pledging of 24 men, of which 87o/o are now new brot?ers. .

Last year Mike Bast was chosen as a PI Kappa Phi Scholar and this year we hope to have a candidate or two. The ch~pter has led the campus in overall academic averages, and we hope to continue this year: .

Xi was again pleased to host Pt Kapp College this summer, and members are now looking forward to the Supreme Chapter meeting next summer. . .

Also this year Xi· may be leading the cam~us With the so called "prestige'' offices. Brothers are pr~s1dent of the student body, editor of the .newspaper, president of Blue Key National Honor Frat~rntty, and two are ne:w memb~rs of Blue Key two are Junior Scholars and one IS a Senior Scholar. Another is a member of the College Judicial ~oard.

Xi is updating its alumni addresses. Those alumn~ who have not received a fall Xi-Lite are asked to send their address to the Chapter. We also hope many alumni will join us during Alumni Weekend this spring to see the college and our house. .

Rush will be approaching very soon, and if any alu~n1 have any specific recommendations we always appreciate them.

Finally, we do hope to see many of you this spring for a "fifty-fifth" party.

OMICRON

UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA

The Golden Legion Award was presented to Brothers Marvin Kelly, Joe Sewell, and Judge Harper Stacy. Judge Stacy was initiated April 18, 1917 and was a charter member of Omicron. He now is a retired Judge and resides in Centreville. Brother Marvin Kelly was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi on Februar_y 19, 1920. He is the uncle of Mr. Emmett Dendy, Omicron's Chapter Advisor. Brother Kelly now lives in Dallas, Texas. Brother Joe Sewell was initiated on May 12, 1920.

Brother Sewell went on to a fabulous career in baseball at the University of Alabama and with the. Ne~ York Yanke.es.

Brother Sewell lives in Tuscaloosa and IS stlll a very active alumnus in Pi Kappa Phi. Omicron is pr?ud of thes~ three men and their great careers as men of P1 Kappa Phi. It seems that a very successful year is in st?re for O~icron Chapter. For the first time ever, the Executive Counc1l had a weekend retreat at which the procedure for the upcoming year was decided upon. Every aspect and phase o~ Pi· Kappa Phi was discussed and reviewed. Many good Ideas were brought up and accepted. Dates for imp<?rtant events wer~ set small committees were set up and topics such as Alumni Reiations, Public Relations, Scholarship, pledge program, rush, and finance, along with many others were covere~ and policies for each one were accepted. We hope that thrs organization of Omicron will make for a much better year and hope to make this an annual event. Many thanks to Dr. A. J. Strickland, our faculty ad~sor, ~r. Emmett. Dendr, our Chapter advisor, and Mr. Bill Smith for making thts retreat a successful one. A booklet of the retreat is now being written.

Looking to the future, Rho plans improvements on the house, as well as the landscape. We are also looking forward to a strong intramural season and continued excellence in academics.

SIGMA

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA

The brothers of Sigma Chapter returned to USC this fall with the intentions of making this the most successful year yet. By installing air conditioners and building a first-cla~s bar, we easily have the most accommodating and comfortab e lounge on campus. .

The brothers continued to work hard during rush as PI Kappa Phi led all the fraternities by pledging twenty-three outstanding men. This Fall we are utilizing the M.R.E. pro· gram and we feel that it will greatly enhance the develoP' ment of our pledges into good brothers. This pro~aJll provides for a more mature relationship between actives and pledges; a relationship in which the pledge feels .0~ an equal basis with the brother, rather than one in whtC the pledge feels subservient to him.

The highlight during fall semester was the first annu:1 Cockfest, sponsored and co-ordinated by Pi Kappa P 1' Ed Craig, Archon of Sigma, served as Executive Directo! of Cockfest, and the majority of the key positions web· held by Pi Kapps. We feel that Cock fest has firmly esta lished itself as a pre-homecoming tradition. .

Also, Buzz Prescott is currently serving as a varstt~ cheerleader; while both Ed Craig and Ron Bifani were name to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.

TAU

N. C. STATE

This fall semester has been a very busy and producth'e time for Tau Chapter. Immediately after. our return f!o~ summer vacation, we started the expensive and labortoll~ task of refurnishing and remodeling our house. We begad by having all of our living room furniture reupholstere Next, we completely rebuilt our bar and purchased all nfe t bar furniture and finished up by ordering new tables 0 the dining area. d As a result of a very disappointing fall rush, we finisbe the fall semester with only nine new brothers, all of wh o:O we are very proud. As pledges, this group earned over $5 0 from their fund raising project and contributed money td our chapter sponsored boy scout troop for mentally retarde young men and to the house remodeling fund. We are pres~ ently working toward a much more successful spring ru~~ Our little sisters had a very successful fall semester W1t 0 ten pledges who have worked as hard as the brother~oo in all our chapter projects. These young ladies are definitelY one of the greatest asset~ to our chapter. . 0 In intramural sports this fall, Tau's football team fin1sbe t up the regular season with a fantastic 5-1 record and well all the way to the final play-offs. Presently, our basketball team is in preparation.

New attempts toward establishing better alumni relations are presently in planning at Tau. Since this has long b.eell one of our weakest points, we are looking forward to ach1e".. ing this goal as quickly as possible.

WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY

Rho Chapter began the 1971-1972 school year with the institution of the Washington and Lee deferred rush program. Fourteen men were pledged after the five-week period and all of them look forward to initiation in February. These freshmen have shown their spirit by their avid participation in recent functions, such as: the Pledge-Brother Football Game, and annual Christmas Party.

The Chapter plans to initiate a scholarship fund, which in time will hopefully provide much needed scholarships for Brothers in the House. This fund will be started as part of the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation, which was organized and is administered by the National Fraternity. The status of the fund is such that all donations will be fully deductible. We hope that this program can be started in the early months of 1972.

Mr. Claude L. Brownell was honored recently at a dinner held at Rho Chapter. Mr. Brownell was awarde~ the. Golden Legion Certificate for fifty ye~rs o~ Brotherhood. 11} .PI Kappa Phi. He attended Cornell University and was Initiated Into

We continued for the third year with our Little Sister program by pledging eleven active and impressive girls who have been a great asset to us in our fall rush program.

In September we initiated eleven new members into our brotherhood. These men have already taken on their new responsibility as brothers and are doing quite well.

Homecoming, which was held first week of October had a good showing of alumni from all parts of the country.

We were also honored with the presence of Area Governor Bill Beckman.

Omega is in the planning stages for our Golden Anniversary which we will celebrate on November 24, 1972. We hope to have as many alumni and National officers to attend as possible.

The beginning of December saw the beginning of a new pledge class at Omega Chapter. We pledged twenty fine men into Pi Kappa Phi on Sunday, December 5.

MERCER

After returning from a spirited and inspiring Pi Kapp College in Roanoke, Alpha Alpha prepared for our important upcoming rush effort. During the summer some of the members who had remained in Macon and contacted rushees and held numerous functions so we didn't have to start completely from scratch. Also our alumni aided in this effort as well as contributing to acquire badly needed furniture for the Lodge. Many thanks to local alumni John Mixon, Tom Matthews, Pat Graham and Harold Johnston for their support in this effort. Our Lodge is now refurnished with new couches, drapes and chairs. Also we recently obtained a pool table from a local vending company which has been a great financial asset to the chapter. Another new feature of our Lodge is our fine library which has been used and enjoyed by all the members.

Due to a delayed rush the chapter held numerous functions to help acquaint new rushees with our brothers. Our efforts were rewarded with the pledging of 10 fine men.

New pledges are Mac Bond, Mike Cantwell, Roddi Ford, Jim Huntsinger, Mike Mathis, Charles Mathis, Fred Miller, Ed Pritchett, Randy Reynolds, and Wade Moore. As in the past most of the pledges are Maconites with a few scattered representatives from other states. We are certain these men will be a great asset to Alpha Alpha and we look forward to their initiation.

In other activities the chapter held a Christmas party for Brother Jeff Leetun's sixth grade class. The party was a good time for all and was highlighted by Evel Knievel Wade Moore and his ever popular motorcycle. The Chapter would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to Brother Robert Bennett for his continuing generous support and .interest in Alpha Alpha Chapter. With a successful rush effort behind us we look forward to a good year and continued progress.

ALPHA GAMMA

UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA

When the brothers of Alpha Gamma Chapter returned to school for the fall term, their house had a new look to it.

They found the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority living in the same house. The new living arrangement, in existence for almost a semester has proved to be a very enjoyable, educational, and progressive experience. The men and women share the first floor living and dining area while a partition separates the second and third floor sleeping areas. A Cooperative Board representing the fraternity and sorority establishes house rules discipline requirements.

The brothers also returned to school with a high enthusiasm for rush. Our efforts were rewarded by the associating of eleven associate members, eight of which were initiated October 22, 1971. Alpha Gamma Chapter is using the new MRE Program and has found it to be very successful and appealing to the upper class students.

Founder's Day Banquet was held December 5. Our Special guests were Brothers Mel Metcalfe and Durward Owen. An award was presented to Colonel Moyer Harris for being the best Area Governor of the Year. Vernon Stancell was awarded The Bill Riggs Memorial Award for Best Alpha Gamma Chapter Alumnus of the Year.

On Friday, October 29, we of Alpha Zeta, in cooperation with the Albany Parks and Recreation Department, staged a Haunted House for the Senior Citizen Association of Albany.

Some 70 elderly persons went through the house which was supplied by the parks departraent. All enjoyed the experience, including the men of Alpha Zeta, who enjoyed putting on the whole thing.

On Friday, November 12, instead of the annual norse parade held before homecoming, Oregon State held a Carnival. The men of Alpha Zeta teamed with Delta Gamma Sorority and built a jail.

The jail took first place in Construction and fell only one dollar short of the prize money taken in for the night.

The money raised was split in half, with half going to help the blind, and the other half being used to pay for the material going into the jail.

Alpha Zeta elected new officers on November 29. Those officers are: Archon, Ted Langton; Vice Al~chon, Harold Salo; Treasurer, Mark Johnson; Secretary, Carl Hampton; Warden, Rod Hartsough; Historian, Dennis Copp; Chaplain, Dan Friedman.

Also, under the MRE program, on December 4 we added 10 new members to our ranks. They are: Ric Blasquez, 588; Bob Carne, 589; Roland Cavanagh, 590; Keith Dotter, 591; Tom Herbage, 592; George Kuchler, 593; Clint Maurice, 594; Steve Pearson, 595; Robin Roehlk, 596; Stew Stone, 597.

New pledges are Frank Friday and Larry Beck.

The chapter is now anxiously a waiting the beginni~ng of February when we will have our first winter houseparty This spring the chapter has another challenge to meet.

Our objective is to become realistically what we are po· tentially.

ALPHA THETA UNIVERSITY

In our rebuilding efforts at Alpha Theta the active brothers have shared a very deep sense of brotherhood and meaning· We feel it is extremely important to direct these feelings at potential members and have decided to use the following letter as a basis for this year's rush.

A long time ago, a close group of friends, sharing the common background of turn-of-the-century collegians, andJ in that tradition, decided to declare their friendship an bound themselves formally. It was a most gratifying situ· ation, idealistic in its way; their associates, admiring theJJl, asked to join. The spirit of the times favored them, increas· ing their number. Soon, scarcity and popularity, and a prac· tical limit on the number that could live together while bon" estly claiming a close friendship, made these organizati~ns more selective in their membership requirements. 8electiv1td~ became exclusivity. These fraternities moved into this deca .e with a reputation of social foolishness and societal irresponst·· bility: well deserved and far from their original purpose· Meanwhile, in the sixties, people, especially the young, feeling depersonalized and helpless in the currents of change, began pulling together and savoring the depths of human relations. Personal trust, personal commitment, and human warmth began to reappear; communes and co-op's were formed, and rapidly became a popular movement.

Hypocrisy went out of style, taking with it a large number of fraternity "men." The irresponsible, tired of being asked to carry their own load, quit. The "Old School" became diS" enchanted with the trend away from exclusive beer-barrel partying and "score" dating, and moved out to apartments.

The idle, who joined for something to do, found something else to do. All that was left at our house, anyway waS a small group dedicated to the goals of the first memberst A tiny group, pledged by their acts and mutual respec to the idea that friendship, consideration, and real tolerance are neither expendable nor expedient.

That, in short, is the story of our house. And we are calle~' believing that once was, might once be again, PI KAPP~> PHI. .

And, that is why, when we call or come by and say, th~i is what we have do you like it? . . . well, now you won laugh, if we do.

We thank Brother AI Perlingiere for his ability to vet' bally relate this common attitude.

ALPHA IOTA Samford Brothers washed hundreds of cars to help furnish new house.

ALPHA ETA-SAMFORD Last spring brought one of the biggest advancements of Alpha Eta's history since rechartering when the loan was approved for our house thanks to Jerry Gallups and the Alpha Eta Housing Corporation.

Along with the groundbreaking ceremony and seeing the first concrete blocks going up, the brotherhood had other reasons to be excited. Our chapter won first place in Step Sing competition with an ecology and poverty theme. Alpha Eta was also awarded the First Place Trophy at the end of the Greek Week events.

With the same enthusiasm that we closed the spring semester, we returned this fall to make ready for dedication and rush. We pledged seventeen outstanding men. The chapter is also proud of three new initiates this fall.

Alpha Eta would like to thank Jim Butler who helped organize the Birmingham Alumni Chapter which has been growing steadily.

Answering the housing corporation's challenge to help furnish the house, the chapter has raised close to $1,000.00 through light bulb sales and car washes.

Currently Alpha Eta is only a few points behind first place in intramurals going into basketball season.

Our Founder's Day, held on December 6, ended the fall's activities with the announcement of new officers and pledge sweetheart.

MICHIGAN STATE

"On October 4, 1971, the Housing Corporation, the Board of Governors, and the Advisors of Alpha Iota of Pi Kapp9Phi in joint and formal session committed themselves to the goal of building a new Pi Kappa Phi' house at A ubur~' and launched a drive to raise money for the same . . ." ThlS is part of the quote on the back of each receipt given to donors to Alpha Iota's new House Fund. The initial an' nouncement to raise $250,000 towards a new chapter hous~' was made at homecoming dinner by brother Frank Morr1S on October 4, 1971. All money accepted for the new house fund will be placed in a special savings account. This special aC" count will be under the care of the President of the Alph~ Iota Housing Corporation and the Executive Vice-President of The First National Bank of Opelika.

We recently elected 17 new candidates out of a field oi 50 to our chapter of "The Little Sisters of The Star an1 Lamp." These, along with the 5 re-elected coeds, brough membership in our Little Sisters organization to 22. Un3et the leadership of Marcia Remondino as president, these girlS will be participating in several community projects through' out the upcoming school year.

Another of our fall projects included the sale of o~t publication of The Greek Belles. Now in its third year, thl6 magazine listing the new panhellenic pledges, addresses, and local telephone numbers has been of great benefit to the college community and to our chapter by boosting net profitS to well over $400.00.

eased. By doing this, the chapter was able to participate in major campus activities such as Homecoming. Traditionally, Homecoming floats are extravagant and the Pi KappGamma Phi Beta float was no exception. But most importantly, it represented a great deal of work by all members, especially Homecoming Chairman Mike Safley.

Alpha Sigma also undertook projects of a non-material nature. The Little Sister program, for example, was entirely revamped: Brother Charlie Wade organized a Little Sister Rush by which ten new girls affiliated with the chapter.

There was a great deal of enthusiasm within the chapter with Little Sister Rush, but it was all generated spontaneously each member again had a stake in the action. To insure a sound Little Sister program, the chapter followed up by presenting a dozen roses to every Little Sister and conducted a Ritual of Initiation similar to the one drawn up by Alpha Iota.

The concept "member" has been used in this letter because pledges participated in chapter projects as if they were brothers. The Fall pledge class was twenty men strong and they capped off their pledgeship by sponsoring a breakfast before the Penn State game and using the proceeds to buy the chapter a ping-pong table for the recreation room.

The projects undertaken by the chapter during Fall Quarter are not particularly earth-shaking if regarded separately. What is important, however, is that every member participated. This participation is a unifying factor: when an individual participates in an event, he has a personal involvement with that event. When a group of individuals share that involvement, it can only become a personal experience for them. And that's what Pi Kappa Phi is all about.

A~PIIA OMICRON IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY Om .he last year has been one of great change for Alpha th lcron. We have changed our policy on pledging. Using di:. new MRE program, we have done away with the traPle~nal pledge program. There is no separation between cha ge and active.

Alpha Upsilon is proud to announce the initiation of Charles Santangelo, Austin Gerber, and Walter Usatchew as members of our chapter. Our fall pledge class is at present ten good men with hopes of adding to this number at the beginning of next term.

Alpha Upsilon's delegates to Pi Kapp College came back with many new ideas. From all we can determi!le we have also introduced the game of Thumper to the entire country.

Our delegates also attended a conclave at Penn State. From these meetings new ideas and concepts have been drawn.

Thanks to everyone who took part.

Our fall social calendar was heavy in events to bring the rushee around and to acquaint him with the functions, activities, and most importantly the brothers .themselves..Included in this program were speak easy nights featuring hotdogs and beer, mixers, thumper games, and the calendar was topped off by our annual bowling party. .

and ideal, but is essential.

Once more this year, Beta Alpha is active in community service at Newark College of Engineering. Pi Kapp Joe Moran is vice president of the Interfraternity Council which has organized a food and toy drive this Christmas to aid the needy of the Newark area.

Earlier in the year, our pledge class held a Halloween party for 34 orphans at the Bakala Orphanage in nearby Hoboken. Pledge Vince Yakamavich was a vital force in organizing this party, as he is keenly interested in race relations.

The brothers also encourage enterprise by purchasing goods from neightborhood high school students, who sell various items door to door.

Beta Alpha continues to be very active in national functions, as witnessed by our large turnout at both Pi Kapp College and Area I and II Conclave held at Penn State.

In the future, Beta Alpha hopes to see more and more of its alumni. Remember alumni, of 25th anniversary celebration is being planned for the spring of 1973. Beta Alpha strongly believes in the motto . . . "Once a Pi Kapp, always a Pi Kapp."

Ecology was this year's theme for Pi' Kappa Phi so Beta Beta chapter began the semester with a highly responsive aluminum can collection for recirculation drive. Mrs. Mary O'Grady has given us a great deal of help with transporting the cans and it has proven so successful we've decided to continue it through the semester.

Halloween was a time of sharing as Kappa Delta sorority joined us in an all-campus Halloween Party at our house with all proceeds donated to UNICEF. Children from the Cerebral Palsy School of Polk County and the Lakeland orphanage also joined in the festivities.

December 4 was the date of the Rose Ball, held at Morrison's cafeteria in Lakeland. Ted Scharfenstein and our generous alumni have helped us out immensely this year and we wanted to reciprocate with a night of great memories and renewed acquaintances.

With the help of last semester's ten new pledges, Pi Kappa Phi won the Scholarship Trophy for the second consecutive term. The coveted prize will be retired to our trophy case when we come out on top next semester.

A complete remodeling of rooms and wash rooms accented the new chapter room so we added the finishing touch with a new totem pole thanks to the creative talents of brothers Larry Widmann and Phil Sandhagen.

It looks like a good year for Beta Beta and we extend a cordial welcome to all visiting brothers in the area to see our new facilities.

BETA DELTA

DRAKE UNIVERSITY

After what we at Beta Delta considered a good year in 1970-71 the brothers are coming right back with another one. We are a relatively small house here at Drake and consequently we have to work that much harder in order to be competitive in campus activities.

Perhaps our greatest achievement is actually from last year, and that is our scholarship. It was a proud day for us at the annual Greek Week Luncheon when we took home every scholarship trophy offered; highest active, pledge, and an overall average of 2.976 for a new all time record. It was the first time ever that the fraternities high average had beaten the sororities.

Intramural sports has not been our strong point this year. We compete in everything and sometimes we manage to win, we always manage to have a good time. A bright spot in the athletic scene was our winning the all-university sportsmanship trophy.

The Pi Kapps were a big hit this year at Sweetheart Sing, and we hope to put on a winning preformance with Delta Zeta sorority this March as we have passed the try outs for Bulldog Tales.

We're confident that the second half of the year will be just as good or better than the first. With Ken Miller (first runner up in the chapter advisor of the year award) guiding us, we should be really hard to beat since we have good brothers who are involved in ca!llpus a!fai:r:s such as editing the student newspaper and betng active 1n student government.

The past year has been a true test for the brothers ol Beta Eta. In progressing to erect a new chapter facilitf 1 it was necessary to have the old house torn down last :fa., This along with a decrease in men out for open rush and the changing attitudes towards fraternities on campus, presented the chapter with many problems and challenges. .

The situation has not been an easy one to cope w1tb· As it was not financially feasible to secure a temporara chapter house, it was necessary for the brothers to :fi_n living and eating accommodations in the community. W1tb no central meeting or eating location, the problem has b~en one of continuous exposure, interaction, and communicatlO~ for the chapter. In most cases the brothers have rente houses or apartments together. Needless to say we ha\'t spread over the entire city of Tallahassee. These probleJllS were only magnified by the difficulties in an open rush sys· tern now used by I.F.C. A problem? Yes. But we are pleased to t~eport the brothers came through in the old Pi Kapp tradition. Through. 9 stepped up program of activities and functions along Wlt~ the use of the new M.R.E. program, the chapter has no only survived but grown in the last year.

This fall we are very proud of our largest pledge ( asso· ciate member) class in the last three years. Being seventee~ members strong, these young men show great leadership an service potential for our chapter in the future.

The Brothers of Beta Iota have the pleasure of announcin~ the twentieth anniversary of the founding of our chapted at the University of Toledo. Founders' Day was celebrate at the Billyle Supper Club on December 12.

Our newly elected officers were installed at the dinner. e Again, all the bedrooms have been filled and more ar.1 waiting to move in. With the local Interfraternal Councb abandoning Formal Rush and going to an informal ruse for the whole year and saying that a fraternity may pledgt freshmen, we have set our goals on becoming a Maste Chapter this year.

Many Brothers have been getting involved in ca~pus s.c; tivities this year. Brother Chris Kusner is an edttor { 0 T. U .'s yearbook and is a leader on the local IFC. A sos Brother Bob LeSage and Norm Kelley are active membet in the student senate.

6 Pi Kapps continued to do well scholastically with a 2·0 overall, though we dropped from number one to number t"' on campus scholastically. t The Alumni-Active football game proved to be a repdd~ of last year with the Alumni winning 27-14. A very mu s field, helped by outstanding plays by alumni Randy Ro~ers and Herk Shanteau, did the actives in, though the actn'~ threatened to pull it out in the last minutes of the gaJJl j The next confrontation will be in January for the annuB bowling match. .atl Two money making projects this past year helped 1 5 our chapter's coffers.

The pledges then were given the1., share of the profits towards their initiation. The other proJ~ ect was started by Brother Jon Mason when Field Secreta~e Joe McLean gave us the idea to print a desk pad for t dS students at Toledo.

The brothers, pledges, and little sisters of Beta Kappa struggled all day to serve the hundreds of drivers and spectators hot dogs, cokes, and other refreshments.

Whether everyone was able to get refreshed on such an exciting day is questionable, but it's a sure bet everyone enjoyed themselves. Some spectators relaxed in the grass lunching on wine and cheese while others relaxed in the shade of J. C. Penney's department store. Quite a few people milled about in the pits watching drivers make last minute tune-ups or stood around the bulletin board to compare the times of their favorite cars.

Of course some people experienced other emotions like the fellow who was working on a fine time in his Fiat 124 Spyder when at the very end of the course he spun out and ran over the timing lights, my camera and very nearly ran over me as well. Another gentleman nearly blew up the engine in a Camaro Z-28.

That Sunday was truly an exhilarating day. It's hard to believe, but Pi Kappa Phi's third annual sports car slalom is bound to be the greatest slalom imaginable.

BETA LAMBDA

UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA

The fall semester school year so far has been successful and enlightening for the Brothers of Beta Lambda Chapter.

Our intramurals were outstanding, with a tough team in every sport. We won the Intramurals Football and Volleyball Championship. Competitive spirit was always present at all the sporting events, as was the enthusiasm, with spectators cheering us on .

The men of Beta Lambda Chapter were represented in many organizations within the University of Tampa. Brother Ted Papps, Past President of the Intrafraternity Council has now passed his office to Brother Brad Stoner. Joe LaVecchio is Chief Justice of Student Court and Vi'ce President of IFC while Brother John Walsh was elected sophomore Senator by his class.

Homecoming was the climax of the fall semester with Brad Stoner engineering the lawn display that was voted "number one" on campus. Lynn Carr, Pi Kap~s choice for Homecoming Queen, was voted Lady-in-Waiting.

All in all, Pi Kapps played a dominant role in both academic and social life at the University during the fall semester.

BETA MU

McNEESE STATE COLLEGE

Hurricane Edith suddenly decided to come ashore somewhere along the Louisiana coast during the latter part of September of this year. Although quite a bit of damage resulted from her visit, Edith was more of a help than a hindrance to Beta Mu chapter. A sizable amount of excellent public relations was our reward for aiding the local Civil Defense authorities in preparing the city of Lake Charles for the approaching storm. Brothers and pledges alike pitched in to help the residents clear debris from streets and tape up the windows of houses and business establishments. A few brothers served as messengers between Civil Defense headquarters and local radio and T.V. stations.

The results of our services rendered was numerous press releases concerning Beta Mu; a citation from Mayor Jim Suddeth; a plaque of appreciation from the local police jury; and a splendid award from the administration of McNeese State University. In addition, a few grateful merchants whose establishments we taped up sent their regards in the form of money.

Although the city of Lake Charles was spared the full force of Edith's wrath, the brothers of Beta Mu remained "home town heroes" in the minds of many.

A new addition to our chapter this year is a little Sister organization. Twenty lovely coeds now aid the brothers in our social functions. No doubt these gir Is will make Pi· Kappa Phi even more popular at McNeese than it is already.

Rush this semester yielded twenty-three pledges, all of whom aid the brothers in all social and fraternal functions.

Our pledges were a major reason we did so well in intramural football, defeating all but one fraternity on campus.

The pledge class also presented the chapter with a new flag Our Founder's Day Banquet was held on December 9 at the Sheraton-Chateau Charles motor hotel. The guest of honor was brother Mel Metcalfe, former National President and founder of Beta Mu chapter. The brothers are always very happy to be entertained and inspired by Mel and his charming wife, Elan or.

Special recognition should go to the athletes of Beta Otl1i· cron. Thus f~r the brothers have managed to beat ev.er~ other fraternity on campus and in doing so have comptl~ a 9-2 won-loss record in flag football. This record is good for a first place tie in the Demon League. The losses wert the first two games of the season. Since that time the teaTJl under the coaching of H?llis Thompson, has thoroughl~ r?uted every op~onent ~1th the closest game being d~ cided by a 16 point margin.

Hopes of better inter-chapter relationships recently suffer~ ed a set back when the brothers of Beta Omicron faile to play the part of the good host and defeated Beta 1\1~ in an inter-chapter football game.

The fall semester saw the Pi Kapps move from the old, traditional fraternity house to a temporary apartment complex. Meanwhile, our new house is under construction and will be completed next fall. It will contain :fifteen apartments and will house sixty brothers. The features of the house include a forty-by-forty recreation room, complete with full kitchen, a spacious formal living room, and a grassy picnic area complete with tables and grills.

Rush for Beta Xi welcomed the addition of nine new brothers.

Ah~mni and b1·others witnessed the Chips crush Eastern Ilhnois ( 47-14) at Central's homecoming. Pre-game activities consisted of a pancake breakfast, sponsored by the pledges, with the help of the little sisters. This enabled the pledges to meet the alumni of Beta Xi. A postgame luncheon was prepared for the alumni and brothers followed by a party that evening in the recreation room. Homecoming was a memorable experience for all those involved at Beta Xi. The Little Sisters were very beneficial to the brothers during our fall rush p1 ogram. We are very proud of the fact that the Little Sisters added eighteen new girls to their organization, bringing the total to fifty-two. One of the highlights of the year for the girls was their victory over their arch rival the Cresents of Lambda Chi Alpha, in some very lady like competition. The brothers thank the Little Sisters for their help and cooperation during the semester and hope they continue their good work.

OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY

After a long, hard, and rewarding life, A. Pelzer Wagene1 is resting quietly at the James River Nursing Home in Newport News, Virginia. The last surviving member of the original seven Pi Kapps certainly deserves to rest after a lifetime of dedication to Pi Kappa Phi. Besides being one of the original seven members, Mr. Wagen~r helped found Alpha Rho chapter at West Virginia University while he was a professor there.

Several brothers of Gamma Beta have visited with Mr. Wagener and all have been very impressed at the spirit demonstrated by this true Pi Kapp. It can be further said that each member to meet Mr. Wagener has been touched by his humility of character, "for truly great men need not tell of their achievements, people just seem to know."

We hope that all chapters of Pi Kapp will write to Mr. Wagener, we're sure he would like to hear from all. His address is James River Nursing Home, 540 Albertan Avenue, Newport News, Virginia.

Now moving on to more Gamma Beta news with a real plus for the Gamma Beta brotherhood. Last year the Old Dominion University Monarchs played basketball as if they had invented the game. The Monarchs ripped apart many major college teams on their way to regional and state titles with a trip to the NCAA College Division Championship Games in Evansville Indiana. Of course we battled and won our first two games but lost our big one to Evansville. Pi Kapp of Old Dominion was there with over 70 per cent of our brotherhood to root our Big Blue on!

Gamma's Beta's support can best be seen in our purchase of a block of 55 season tickets. So, Pi Kapps throughout the nation, especially you brothers at Georgia Southern and Roanoke who wish to catch the games at Old Dominion, give us a call or drop us a line and we can watch the game together!

TROY STATE UNIVERSITY

Fall quarter 1971 has been a memorable one for those of us at Gamma Gamma chapter. New officers were elected and nineteen men were pledged. Pi Kappa Phi again led the way in intramurals by winning the fraternity division, but failing for the third year in a row to win under the lights in the overall Intramural championship game.

Our Rose, Mrs. Mary Sharon Mungenast Howell was third runner-up in Pi Kappa Phi's National Rose contest, while little sister Jackie Coker was first alternate in Troy State's Homecoming Court. Our Little Sisters Club also presented the fraternity with a new gold carpet for the living room in our house. However, the most exciting events occurred at Gamma Gamma's Homecoming festivities.

The annual Homecoming activities for Gamma Gamma Chapter of Pi· Kappa Phi Fraternity at Troy State University began on Friday night, October 23, when alumni brothers began appearing on the scene and visited with the brothers and pledges working on the float. On Saturday morning, coffee and doughnuts were served to parents, alumni, and friends who stopped by the house.

Following the game in the afternoon, parents, alumni, and friends were invited to attend the annual Homecoming dinner at the fraternity house. About 350 guests were served buffet style with the Homecoming Committee and the Little Sisters of the fraternity assisting with the serving.

Following the dinner, a pleasant social hour was held with new friendships being made, and old ones renewed.

The Mother's Club met in the paneled room at 6:30 and new officers were installed. Plans were discussed for a new money raising project and an accounting of how funds raised during the past yeat", over $1500 had been spent, was given.

On Sunday, current active brothers of the fraternity met alumni brothers in a football game on an intramural field at the University. It was no secret that the old men (George

WINTER '72/25

Bland as) had taken up a collection to raise the money to fly their quarterback, John David Jones, from Washington where he is now employed, to Troy to help lead the alumni to victory. The strategy was successful as the alumni won, 32 to 0. Following the game, a reunion was held at the house with wives and girl friends joining the brothers.

The football game with the alumni' will be an annual event.

GAMMA DELTA UNIVERSITY

MEMPHIS STATE

The past year has been exciting as well as rewarding for Gamma Delta Chapter.

Pi Kapps at Memphis State won the bowling championship for the second consecutive year, the Greek tennis championship, and first place in our division of the homecoming display. Alpha Phi Sorority helped Pi Kapps work on the display this year.

Our last two semesters we initiated fifteen men and are looking forward to a good spring '72 pledge class. Congratulations to our recent initiates of the fall '71 pledge class: Richard Toland, Ray Weaver, Mike Dacus, Mike Likins, James Wootten, Ed Brasher, Bill Newsom, Lee Appolone, and Dennis Sigman. These nine brothers and pledges of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority collected money and candy at Halloween for the crippled children's hospital. Also we would like to wish our new Executive Council good luck: Allen Vazquez, Robert Fudge, Gary V anasek, Tommy Carter, Mike Harris, Terry Benton, and Gary Heien. Pi Kappa Phi was honored by the election of Mike Ray to Vice President of the Memphis State Interfraternity Council.

This past summer our continuous spirit and hard work were shown by the brothers as we worked to make great improvements on our chapter house, which we are more than proud to call home.

Gamma Delta was well represented at the Pi Kapp College in Roanoke last August. We will no doubt be present at the Supreme Chapter meeting in Atlanta. We hope to see the brothers we met at the college present and are looking forward to meeting many more and encourage more alumni to attend.

We wish to congratulate Chuck Ziemba, a recent graduate of Memphis State, and last spring's Best Active, upon his installation as our new chapter advisor. Also to our past chapter advisor, Mr. Warren Cruzen, Mr. Gamma Delta of 1971, and founder of our chapter, we wish all the luck in the world and want to let him know he always has home with Gamma Delta chapter and with all Pi Kapps.

On December 3, 1971, we had a Founder's Day Formal followed on December 4, 1971, by our Founder's Day banquet.

This year Brother Mel Metcalfe attended our banquet. We are proud to say that this is Brother Metcalfe's fifth year to attend our Founder's Day festivities.

Total involvement is the Key word when speaking of the Pi· Kapps at Armstrong; several of the brothers are active in student government and also play an important part in student-facutly relations on various campus committees, bringing about a reciprocal flow of young ideas and mature experience. Having been chartered for almost two years now, we Gamma "Sigmas" have gained the respect of each other as well as the respect of our institution and its student body, as we continually strive to attain the highest possible standards of scholarship and leadership. Yes, brothers, Pi Kappa Phi is alive and well in Savannah! Drop by and see for yourself.

GAMMA TAU UNIVERSITY

NORTH TEXAS STATE

Yes, Gamma Tau is alive and well. Although we had a temporary pause, the newly initiated brothers of Gamma Tau have come back in full force and with positive interest.

Gamma Tau was reinstated on October 2, 1971,on the North Texas Campus with a new brotherhood of nine. This reorganization could not have been accomplished without the guiding hands of brother Jay Arnold and Chapter Advisor Gerry Dobson. The idea of the new MRE program and equality among the new membership sparked the initative in re-establishing Gamma Tau. We became involved immediately in school activities. We participated in the campus blood drive. In having one hundred per cent participation, Gamma Tau received their first trophy. The blood was for the National Hemophilia Foundation. Next we were active in the Canned Food Drive for the Denton Welfare Recipient. The drive was sponsored by the I.F.C. and was open to any organization. We were awarded second place with the most poundage of canned goods. For Christmas we helped the Ex-Marines in the Toys for Tots drive, by collecting and repairing toys for the needy.

A few points of interest in Gamma Tau is the Membership Recruitment Education (MRE). The program at Gamma Tau has been very successful. We have five associate members who were initiated on December 8th. We have followed National to the fullest in their MRE program, and have succeeded tremendously. We have open rush on this campus, and have found that the program has worked well. We have people who are interested, that otherwise would not have joined a fraternity.

The M.R.E. program, more or less, introduces the fraternity in a less hectic atmosphere with no pledgeship; thus treating the associate as an equal, with the only difference being that he is not an initiated brother and cannot vote.

We would like to thank all the school officials who helped in the reorganization of Gamma Tau. Also the Dallas Alumni chapter which also helped.

WINTER '72/27

Utilizing our "new blood" we Pi Kapps at OSU have pulled up from 24th to the high ranking of lOth in intramurals. Even though our football team ended with a non winning season, our bowling team ended 1st in our league.

Looking forward to later in the year, the softball and basketball teams are planning to "rip 'em apart."

Gamma Upsilon has done equally as well in scholastics.

With an all-out effort to maintain our number 10 ranking in Greek scholastics, in which we rose from number 24 last spring, we Pi Kapps are seriously thinking about the Most Improverl Trophy award here at Oklahoma State. An example of our effort can be illustrated by Brother Len Harral. Len, an accounting major, received a scholarship from Mobil Oil Corporation by maintaining a 3.5 grade average on the 4.0 system.

Not all of our time is spent studying or "jocking" around.

For we Pi Kapps are greatly improving our public relations.

Due mainly to the drive and determination of Brother Ron Sober, social chairman, we have functioned with both Greeks and Independents here on campus. This year alone we decided to combine forces with the Kappa Delta sorority and hold our annual "Pi Kapp-KD Prison Party." Not all our efforts are social in nature though. Complementing Pi Kappa Phi's recognition of SOAR, we persuaded the University to close off a main thoroughfare running through the middle of the campus, for a period of one day last year during our Environmental Week. Our actions were rewarded this year when the University officially closed the street to traffic during the daytime.

Brother Ted Doane has been giving his full support in setting up our first Alumni Program. Due to the fact that we are rather new on campus, we consequently don't have many chapter alums, so we decided to put all our effort in personally contacting all Pi Kapp alums in our area.

Two of our own alums, Brother Harvey Butcher and Brother Doug Danvers, helped us tremendously during our recent initiation by conducting the "orals."

Holding our Pi Kapp tradition and heritage in high esteem, Chaplain Gerald Duncan successfully set up the Founder's Day Banquet which was held on Dec. 12, 1971.

With the Rose Ball coming up soon, Brothel" Duncan has been checking into the possibility of holding a joint celebration with several chapters in our area.

GAMMA PHI-SOUTH ALABAMA GAMMA CHI

JACKSONVILLE

The Gamma Chi Chapter's first full semester began in September with our first ritual. Chaplain Joey Franklin organized all aspects of the ritual beautifully and the N eophytes were very impressed. The problems inherent in our lack of experience were more than overcome by our enthusiasm. Archon John Stephenson, Bob Moreno, and Joe Baldwin played major roles in the success of the ritual along with the rest of the brotherhood.

The fraternity also participated actively in the InterFraternity Council sponsored United Fund-Crusade of .Mer~y drive. Many of the brothers spent a great deal of time 1n the hope to help those who are unable to help themselves.

Although the collections made were a small part of the whole, the feeling of participation was well worth the effort.

Gamma Chi's next event was the election of our Rose for the coming year. Miss Mary Ann Jones relinquished her title after a year of hard work and able leadership of our other "Little Sisters." Miss Mary Ellen Westrick was elected by the brotherhood to fill this position. Mary Ellen is a Sophomore at Jacksonville University majoring in business.

She graduated from Bishop Kenny High School and now participates in many campus activities including varsity cheerleading. Gamma Chi has high hopes that Mary Ellen may be considered in the upcoming competition for National Rose.

A visit by Jerry Gallups during Founder's Day ceremonies certainly added to a very pleasant evening. Held at the Wilmington Room in the Seaboard Coastline Building, it gave the brothers of Gamma Chi a chance to meet some of the graduate members of Alpha Epsilon. Jeff Nehl was announced as Gamma Chi's new chapter advisor and Jerry gave a speech that inspired us all.

For the upcoming semester Gamma Chi is making plans to attend the annual Conclave in Daytona Beach. Although no plans have been made at this time, we will be more than willing to discuss the Conclave with any of the chap-

On October 16, 1971 Kappa Phi Colony was granted and received a charter from Northeast Missouri State College.

Kappa Phi Colony is now considered a chartered organi·zation of NEMS after serving a temporary one year probationary period. We are now a voting bona fide member of IFC. We are very proud to be part of the chartered organizations on NEMS campus.

Last spring Kappa Phi colony worked closely with the Campus Volunteers with their annual Easter egg hunt for the needy children at Pickler Park. We also helped the Campus Volunteers with their annual Easter egg hunt for the underprivileged children.

Last March Kappa Phi Colony participated in the first all Greek Leadership and Development Conference which helped to strengthen and unify the Greek system on campus.

Last May Kappa Phi Colony was the only organization to work with the Klean-up Pollution Committee helping in collecting and recycling of metals and glass. The members crushed 28 tons of glass and made the project a big success.

We now have a total of 21 members and we are constantly working on rush. We elected new officers at the beginning of the year. They at"e: Archon, Don Wyngarden; Treasurer, Bob Witzl; Secretary, Chris Heller; Warden, Bill Rodman; Historian, Chuck Barnard; and Chaplain, Roger Potter.

Our main concern and project at this time is chartering.

We have been busy planning for this special occasion. We will be proud to be a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. This will be our biggest event of the year.

Another project we are working on is a charity basketball game to be held with the Moberly Prison Inmates.

The proceeds to go to the handicapped children. Much time and work has been put into this project.

As you can see, the Pi Kapps at Northeast Missourr State have been keeping busy.

TAU KAPPA BETA COLONYMOREHEAD STATE UNIVERSITY The biggest news with our colony recently has been the acquisition of another house. A combination of financial problems along with the distance ( 13 miles) from campus of the old house was the reason for the new house. We now can have our social events with greater ease and regularity.

Another a spect that we are proud of this year is our achievements in the intramurals. This is the first time we have had a football team and we finished sixth among fraternities with an even more promising team next year. Our basketball team is currently in second place with a 4-1 record.

We are currently actively working on our requirements for colonization.

Until the next issue of the Star and Lamp, this is Stanley Lyon for the Brothers of Tau Kappa Beta Colony.

GAMMA EPSILON RHO COLONYVIRGINIA WESLEYAN Although we got off to a slow start this year, things are shaping up, and rather quickly. Many of our brothers didn't return this year because of academic reasons, and we had to almost start from scratch; however, the number of brothers is now increasing by the week because of an outstanding, hard-'\vorking group of associate brothers who are hopefully looking forward to becoming a part of possibly the first national fraternity on the Virginia Wesleyan campus.

Our first activity this year was a Car Wash with which we accumulated more than half of our initiation fee. There was also a public Flea Market in Virginia Beach where our Colony helped direct traffic and parking. We received thanks from both the college administration and the community.

We also took part in the IFC's Operation Santa 91aus, which is a program to raise money so that needy children in the area can have a Christmas. We sponsored a Christmas Dance for the entire school. This is an innovation on campus and we are confident that it will be an alumni event.

Gamma Epsilon Rho Colony also boasts the greatest academic achievement of any fraternal organization on campus with a cumulative point average of over 2.50. We sincerely hope that we will obtain our charter soon and become full fledged brothers of Pi Kappa Phi.
