I think the true discovery of America is before us. I think the true fulfillment of our spirit, of our people, of our mighty and immortal land, is yet to come. I think the true discovery of our own democracy is still before us. And I think that all these things are certain as the morning, as inevitable as noon. I think I speak for most men living when I say that our America is Here, is Now, and beckons on before us. . . Thomas Wolfe (Kappa - UNC)

dwigrtiortiL on, I stood alone in the doorway of the fraternity house. The living room behind me was fully lighted but empty. The house was cold, cheerless, and completely, lifelessly silent. Other men had been with me earlier in the evening. One by one they were led at uncomfortable intervals to the recesses of the house. With each new departure, the remaining men would glance uneasily at one another. Some would smile wanly, others would resume their frantic leafing through the materials they were studying. Now only I remained with the old companions of fear and anger who seemed so much a part of our kindred during that weeklong descent into brotherhood. I looked out on the crisp, clear winter night. It was after midnight; the street was quiet, the neighborhood dark. Down the street strolled a familiar figure. It was "Doc" walking his little dog. The old gentleman had been a great friend of my grandfather and was well-beloved by my family. He caught sight of me in the doorway, and seemed a little startled to see me all dressed up in a suit and tie standing there so late at night in that unfamiliar fraternity door. He stopped, smiled, and waved, and said, "Hello, Johnny." I suddenly thought of my grandfather, his dignity and quiet strength. It made me feel better. I was about to go down the little front walk to chat with "Doc" when a hand tapped me on the shoulder. I wheeled around. The voice said, "We're ready for you."
We moved through the darkened house. I asked the active if Audie had made it. The man with me sighed and said, "No, I'm sorry, he blew it." I was swept by a feeling of cold rage which crushed my fear, smothered my apprehension of only minutes before. Audie was my best and dear friend, and fellow pledge. I found myself in a small room, in front of a stained sheet hanging as a screen, concealing the rasping voice of a high fraternity official, a voice full of questions about founders, dates, creed, ad nauseam. I answered each question slowly, precisely, accurately; each answer became for me a point on a bill of indictment, a nail to be driven in the oaken doors of a cold gothic building in far-away Illinois. The voice couldn't break me. I beat it. It screamed for me to leave. I was on my way to the parking lot when the vice-president of the chapter grabbed my arm, and asked me to return to the chapter house. I coldly refused. He pulled me back inside. Once in, I was engulfed by cheers, laughter, slaps-on-theback. It had been a joke; the long awaited and long feared "national" fraternity test to determine whether we pledges were worthy of full membership was after all was done, just a brotherly jest. I remember the wave of sweet relief. But the anger never left. They are my brothers, and I will never forgive them that night.
In the summer of 1965, a young
graduate student by the name of Thomas A. Leemon presented the results of some anthropological research which he had done on fraternities to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Leadership School of that year. The report which Leemon gave, himself a Sigma Alpha Epsilon, became a standard presentation at Leadership Schools in years thereafter. Leemon, now an Associate Professor of Higher Education at Columbia University's Teachers College recently authored a book based on the results of the same research used in the Leadership School reports. The volume, entitled, The Rites of Passage in a Student Culture, was recently published by Teachers College Press in New York City. The book is an anthropological interpretation of the pledgeship and initiation rites of a college social fraternity. In the spring of 1963, the author observed and recorded the pledging period of a chapter on the campus of a college in the Middle Atlantic section of the United States. He lived at the fraternity house during the period described in the book. By means of personal observation and interview, Leemon concluded that the pledging system which he observed in this fraternity chapter follows the classic behavioral pattern manifest-
ed in transitional states in other institutions in ours and other societies. As a means of continuing revitalization, societies and institutions within societies set up modes and devices of transition to enable individuals to move from one status or position to another, to confirm the individuals' new relationship with the other members of the group, and simultaneously to reaffirm the values and conditions of existence which are the goal and basis of the institution's or society's life. These modes of transition are called "the rites of passage," a series of events often characterized and symbolized by ritual and ceremony. Classic anthropological theory holds that such rites of passage are comprised of three sequential phases: separation, transition, and incorporation. As an illustration of this theory, Leemon uses one of our society's most revered institutions: For example, the events associated with entrance into marriage may be characterized by a proposal and its acceptance (separa-

A New Home For Pi Kappa Phi
WHY YOUR FRATERNITY NEEDS A NEW HEADQUARTERS BUILDING
Nineteen twenty-four Vail Avenue is a two-story white frame building. When constructed in 1924 it was a charming private home. The Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation purchased this building in 1965 for use as a National Headquarters for the fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi had two staff members serving 56 chapters and 17,550 members. It has served extremely well for these ten years. It had, and has, inadequacies which can no longer be overlooked, nor overcome. These inadequacies had to be attended to either through the lease of property, or a completely new building had to be designed and built. This is necessary to accommodate a staff of seven serving 86 chapters and 33,200 members. A headquarters building committee, chaired by W. Bernard Jones, Jr., Past National President, was formed. Your committee explored the two possibilities, and determined that due to the space requirements, and the costly price of suitable lease property, the construction option was more practical for the fraternity. Your committee
then explored the various ramifications of a new structure, and made a specific recommendation to the National Council. The problems regarding the 1924 Vail Avenue property which led to this decision were in the following major areas: 1. The building was built as a residential home. This in itself caused many ineficiencies. 2. The building is equipped with a steam heating system which is antiquated and inconsistent. 3. Since the house was built before the advent of air conditioning, there were no provisions made for a central system; therefore, it is being operated with several window units which are expensive and troublesome, as well as being unsightly.
4. The building materials used in the original building were basically very good; however, the maintenance and the replacement of these building materials is almost prohibitive. 5. Space while there is almost 2,500 square feet of space in the property, a great deal of it is taken up with stairways, hallways, bathrooms, decorative areas, so that a much smaller amount of space is actually available for the operations of the fraternity.
6. The building was constructed in 1924. The electrical system is the original and needs to be replaced immediately. 7. Structurally the building is not sound and as a result will not support renovation and remodeling. 8. Parking for staff and visitors is minimal and all must compete with a hospital across the street. INEFFICIENT IS THE BEST WORD TO DESCRIBE THE PROPERTY IN TERMS OF THE FRATERNITY'S CURRENT AND FUTURE NEEDS.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU! Pi Kappa Phi takes pride in the services that it has been able to provide to its individual members and to its chapters. While we are among America's youngest college fraternities, we are also among its most
dynamic. The growth and stability that have marked Pi Kappa Phi's history have not been accidental. It has come as a result of the work of dedicated individuals who have served the fraternity both voluntarily and professionally. The need for services has changed with the fraternity' growth and with the change of the society in which we operate. Your fraternity has always risen to meet the challenge of growth. As our need for facilities has changed throughout the years, we have relocated to meet our needs. The new headquarters building is the fraternity's first physical plant specifically designed for our use. (continued on page 3)

Charlotte, North Carolina 28204 Dear Sir: In your front page article of "The Star and Lamp" a statement was made that Governor Edwards was the first Pi Kapp Republican Governor of South Carolina, which is correct, and that Brother George Bell Timmerman was the first Pi Kapp Governor of South Carolina. I believe you will find that you are incorrect in this statement because the late Brother Olin D. Johnston was the first Pi Kapp Governor of South Carolina.

A DATE TO REMEMBER ALPHA IOTA—AUBURN 50th Anniversary October 2, 1976
Herman P. Hamilton Zeta 1923
Gov. James B. Edwards, Alpha, Charleston, left affairs of state and returned to the campus for Greek Week activities at the University of South Carolina. He chatted with members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity at a reception in their lounge and later received their alumni Distinguished Service Award before going to the USC Law School Auditorium to speak to a gathering of the school's fraternity members.
Yes! there was an ALPHA KAPPA—MICHIGAN and there will be one again. This reactivation is now on the drawing board for the creation of a colony in the 1975-76 school year and a rechartering in 1977. Your indication of interest and willingness to help is solicited.
YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT IS WHAT MAKES PI KAPPA PHI GO So, when the 1976 annual voluntary dues notice arrives, please help us keep it going!
Student Lamp Award Recipients (1974-75) Each year the fraternity is pleased to recognize scholastic excellence. Due to the Buckley Amendment and school administrations' reaction to it, there are extreme difficulties faced in scholarship reporting. However, the effort paid off this year as 65 chapters can salute their outstanding scholar. This is an annual recognition when the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity presents the STUDENTS LAMP AWARD to the individual in each chapter who has the highest scholastic average as determined by Dr. Jeff Clark, National Scholarship Chairman.

Tom Wolfe admonished that you can never go home again--a Greek philosopher had said it earlier when he reminded us that we can never step in the same river twice. Yet we people, not like lesser animals, make constant supplication to "the good old days". Too often the good old days were not really good after all, especially when held up to the reflection of history. Yet, even when the bubble is broken, when our eyes are finally opened, our hearts refuse to listen and we continue to yearn for the times that were, the good old days. There is an exception. There is a time we will not seek to repeat. At least we will not want to experience again the student life of the mid and late 1960's and early '70's—the "time of trouble" for the American college student. We are all aware of the trials and tribulations, the destruction, the death, the self death created by the stupid drug culture, and many other annihilating events. A dark age of youth experiences -a disaster of catastrophic dimension for the college Greek letter fraternity. As sure as we do not want to return to those "good" old days, we are aware of the dramatic change on the American campus today. Fraternity is again a very positive force on what is once again a positive campus environment. What happened?

Unlike most human behavioral responses, this one can be identified easily, quickly and in extremely simple terms. The interchange of meaning between two words gives us the answer. The vocal majority of students at the time of trouble was more "selfish"—the majority of current students is more "selfless". As simple as that! Those selfish students of those older days were egotists, monopolists and just plain spoiled btats. DO YOUR OWN THING! Will the ring of that mercenary, venal and self indulgent phrase ever again raise its ugly head? We certainly pray not! Instead, today's visual student appears to be approaching life on campus with a more restrained and self respecting attitude—a more "selfless" person indeed. Fraternity cannot survive, much less prosper, in an environment of selfishness. At worst fraternity requires a person to have a neuter evaluation of his personal self value. In the "selfish" do your own thing environment, fraternity, along with too many other life quality values, went by the wayside. Today's campus has no halo and cannot be said to be totally a selfless society. It is more so than previously—and the campus is therefore more positive toward fraternity than in those never to again be experienced good old days.

of Henry Bartlett. Suppose you were born in 1932, handicapped from the start by cerebral palsy. And then in 1959 your livelihood depended upon your selling newspapers on a street corner in Miami, Florida. In spite of the fact that you had a B.S. degree from Florida Southern University, business and industry was not ready to accept you. Think of the negative attitude you would have toward life as you ran against apathy, misunderstanding and frustration. Not if you were Henry Bartlett, initiate of Beta Beta Chapter, Florida Southern University. Brother Bartlett has transferred the anguish and pain of such a beginning to a positive present and a promissing future. He has made his world conform to his determination. He does not hesitate to tell you that he gives first credit for this to his Christian faith!

HOW YOU CAN HELP There are many things which causes a corporation or organization to stand out head and shoulders above its contemporaries. Many of these are obvious and some are not so obvious. A fraternal organization such as ours is basically no different. We too must operate in a businesslike manner using sound managerial judgment. From a business point of view, one of our strongest assets has been a low debt service. We wish if at all possible to keep it this way. We feel that only through a low debt service are we able to provide the outstanding services which we are now providing and which we intend to provide in the future to both our student and alumni brothers. Since the fraternity's inception we have asked relatively little from our brotherhood with regard to financial assistance. But we are now at a crossroads, a very significant point with regard to the future of our fraternity. For this reason we are appealing to both our student chapters and our alumni members to seriously consider making a significant financial contribution to your fraternity for the construction of the new national headquarters building. We make no apology for this solicitation because we truly believe that each of you realize the importance of the new headquarters and what it will mean to the fraternity now and in the future. This is why we ask you to financially commit yourself to this worthy project and this is why we feel confident that you will. All contributors names will be on permanent display in the new headquarters building. A special plaque will be erected listing alphabetically those givers in the class from $100 to $500, $500 to $1,000 and

His next praise extends to the Goodwill Industries of South Florida. It was this organization's program of rehabilitation and training that offered him the first opportunity for a better life. Through them he received skills education and training-but of more importance he achieved personal adjustments. Lastly, Henry appreciates Ryder Systems, Inc. (transportation). There he is one of the best known and best liked employees as he works as a purchasing technician. In 1974 he was selected as the outstanding handicapped citizen and was the subject of a United Fund promotional film. Henry exhibits a keen sense of humor and relates well with his fellow man. With faltering speech he is able to hold the attention and admiration of large luncheon groups and service clubs, many times receiving standing ovations.

Henry speaks of himself with confidence and a little pride. He also acknowledges the influence of his fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi! With all of his circumstances he still says, "my greatest joy in life is trying to help other people." Would you have that attitude if you were Henry Bartlett, a really significant member of Pi Kappa Phi?

Robbins, Alpha Epsilon -University of Florida, has for many years been engaged in construction, real estate and agricultural activities in Miami and other areas of the state of Florida. Now living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida he is primarily a citrus grower, raises cattle and has other business interests. Brother Robbins has another compelling demand on his time and interest. He is completing his term as President of Rotary International. This is not just another elected office of another community service club. Rotary International has more than 16,000 clubs in 151 countries. A Rotary Club is a group of business and professional men within a community that seek to serve others. "Service above Self" is Rotary's motto. As of June, 1975 there were 771,000 Rotarians.

ilfzetkrtionit ,9ketepathip (continued from page 1) tion), engagement activities (transition), and the wedding ceremony (incorporation). The incorporation ceremony itself may contain a reduplication of the three phases: the families give away a son and daughter at the beginning of the ceremony (separation), the recitation of rights, responsibilities, and vows by the parties (transition), and the pronouncemnt of the marriage's being recognized and confirmed by the minister (incorporation). Whatever the particular details, the pattern of rites remains the same--the pattern of the rites ofpassage.
This pattern is prevalent in a vast and contrasting array of human institutions and societies. For purposes of comparison, Leemon delineates the initiatory events and ritual of the Poro Bush Society of Liberia. This secret society is a device utilized by tribes in the Liberian hinterlands to introduce the young boys into their new status as adults. Here the tripartite pattern of separation, transition and incorporation stands out in emphatic relief. The fascination of Leemon's work is to see the same phases manifest themselves in initiatory activities of a fairly typical American College social fraternity chapter. During the separation phase, the rushee-pledge begins to adapt to changes in social relations which signal that he is acquiring a new status. The contacts and relationship on campus and in his dorms are altered by his fresh and new interaction with members of the fraternity. In the transition phase the pledge is prepared by means of pledge duties, classes, ceremony, regulation, and ordeal to adjust to new patterns of life and social relationship. This is a period in which the pledge's capability for such a way of life is put to severe and prolonged test. During this period he is expected to adjust to the demand of the fraternity for certain control over his life and, in turn, the members of the fraternity begin to adapt to the new presence of different human beings who will alter the pre-existing pattern of relationships, and hopefully reconfirm and revitalize the existing hierarchical and social structure of the group. The incorporation phase is marked by ritual and ceremony which symbolizes the inclusion of the pledge in the full life of the chapter, and the resumption of his full range of outside associations altered only by his new-found fraternal relationships. An inevitable question has risen: Is fraternity pledgeship and its concomitant events such as "Hell Week" simply a part of a larger human predilection for rites of passage devices; and given this human tendency to engage in such rites, is the fraternity thwarting some kind of innate human need by attempting to discourage pre-initiation rites like "Hell week"? Such questions as these have a distinct kinship with the crude
biological determinism which is now current in much thinking about human behavior ... the basis of the argument is that many of man's fundamental behavioral traits such as aggressiveness have somehow been "programmed" into him by genetics, and that no amount of education or social engineering or cultural adjustment will serve to substantially alter these traits. To suggest that "Hell Week" and like features of pledgeship are innately and inherently part of larger human predilictions for "rites of passage" is to tacitly imply that nothing can or should be done about the more objectionable elements of pledgeship; that our responsibility for the frequent abuses of "Hell Week" and pledging itself is somehow diminished because of inevitable human tendencies long conditioned by either biology or unalterable cultural bias. The notion that the fraternity is somehow dealing with fixed and immutable human traits when it attempts to alter the 'nature of pledge education obscures the basic fact that even the most rigidly inherited conditions of man, both physical and behavioral, are highly susceptible to environmental manipulation. Were this not so, those who suffered from myopia, diabetes, epilepsy, aphasia, and the like would be lost. Theories of modern education begin with the assumption that man is a malleable creature whose capacity for change is considerable. Fraternity pledgeship is indeed made up of "rites of passage." Leemon has accurately described the behavioral forms, modes, and patterns which comprise those rites. However, the responsibility for the substance of these inevitable patterns is directly ours. At the root of the issues regarding pledgeship and "Hell Week" rest essentially moral and philosophical questions. In his introductory chapters, Leemon remarks on the "stakes" that are implied in the "rites of passage": ... these periods of transition are fraught with danger and social stress The transition is stressful to the neophytes, who must successfully assert their claim to become incorporated in the society or a part of it, and who also seek to attain recognized positions in it. Once they enter the transition phase, they leave behind, in some degree, familiar relations and recognized positions in society, and expose themselves to the possible failure of attaining and being accorded new positions. Likewise, the society is also threatened because, although it must sponsor the neophytes and assure their successful attainment of positions in society, the transition must be carried out in a way that repairs the disturbed social relations in the society and that brings the neophytes under society's control, lest the society be harmed instead of revitalized.
The American College Fraternity is an educational institution before it is anything else. Its task is to teach the individual human being to enjoy the society of other men and women. It exists in order to create an environment conducive to the full flowering of human potential. Lest our "rites of passage" harm rather than revitalize us, consider these points:
One, that Brotherhood is not an end in itself. It can be a destructive force, a machine of aimless or even malignant unity. History groans with the memory of brotherhoods of brutality -Hitler's SS, the Sicilian Mafia, the Thugees of India, and in their time, some of the monastic orders of the Church. Such artificial 'unities, devoid of benign goals, swiftly fall into perversity. In our own pledge programs, the inevitable demand for "unity" is a dominant feature. Chapters divide into armed camps, active unity vying in mindless conflict against pledge unity. There is no larger goal. It seems, at times, as if the fraternity has abandoned all other educational devices in favor of human suffering. It is an effective device; it does engender unity. All the great engines of disaster, both natural and man-made, such as wars and earthquakes and the like, have caused men to work together in unity born of adversity. Armies have anciently trained men to be killers through the use of coercion and fear. The bootcamps of our own nation's armed services are no exception. It is strange that we, whose greatest stated goal is "brotherly love", choose to teach that virtue through coercion and harrassment rather than by example of harmony, trust, and good will. No one can explain the fact that we invite men to share our brotherhood, and then defer and withhold from them for months on end those very qualities of support and affection which are at the heart of true brotherly love. It is a contradiction in terms to believe that we can teach other men to be our brothers without being "brotherly" toward them. How healthy is a community of men who seek to elicit brotherhood through the brutalization of one another? Two, that fraternity pledgeship, as presently constituted, provides a forum for the debasement of human freedom. As a mechanism of debasement, it allows the worst passions and instincts of the active to emerge. It is a context which encourages the most authoritarian dimensions of men. It demands servility from the pledge, tyranny and condescension from the active. It is the fraternity's first and basic educational tool, yet its educational function is minimal. Fraternal and historical facts, the Greek alphabet, rigid rules of manners and deportment are force fed to pledges as if they were stuffed geese. An effective contemplation of the fraternity's history, traditions and philosophy is denied and demeaned by this fact-mill approach; pledge training methods imply a basic contempt for the true substance of the knowledge at hand. Methods that members would not for an instant tolerate in the classrooms of their colleges or universities, they impose with alacrity upon their own educational charges. Whatever real education in brotherhood or knowledge that fraternity men gain through pledging is offset by the tremendous damage done to the psyche of both member and pledge in the bitter paternalistic relationship fostered by our pledging systems. As a fraternity, we claim to serve the American college and university system. We propose to facilitate the processes of maturity and growth which find direction in higher education. Yet internally we create an educational system which is, in its basic tenor, sadomasochis-
tic in approach. It too often results in full reign to the domineering instinct of actives, and offering pledges the perverse promise of equal domination over others after their ascent to full membership. Is it any wonder that professional educators, college administration, and faculty regard us with such distaste? Our pledging policies are basically inconsistent with the civilizing traditions of academia. American society's widespread suspicion of fraternities derives as much from the basic servility of our pledging programs as from our stupid policies of secrecy and exclusivity of membership. I suspect that, in general, the American public regards our institution as being contrary to the highest traditions of American democracy; and perhaps they are right. It is time to examine whether we really need pledgeship at all. Historically, we have not always had these elongated pledgeships. Many great fraternity leaders and founders were pledged and initiated in the course of days. More mature fraternal institutions, such as the Freemasons, have not found it necessary to use extended pledge-like probationary periods of the sort that college fraternities have utilized. Yet these institutions are able to compel as great and abiding a loyalty from their menbers as we. It may well be that the phenomenon of pledgeship is in some measure related to the age group that college fraternities draw upon. Perhaps older men feel more secure about themselves, and thus find it less necessary to impose systems of rigid, arbitrary authority over one another in their fraternal designs. Our fraternity would be none the worse if we drastically foreshortened the pledging period, and turned the energies that we now spend in artificial pledge-active antagonism into the alleviation of some of the social problems that affect the large community. There is enough human suffering without our adding to it. One of the prime qualifications for membership in our order should be the acknowledgement from each member that to abuse another person is an expression of feeble, inadequate, misplaced masculinity. When the membership of our institution, as a microcosm of society, more closely reflects the real nature of the world at large, perhaps the normal dynamic of human relations will be better able to assert itself, and the abnormal "domination-submission" theme in our pledge structures will subside. A fraternity has no need to abandon the age-old "rites of passage". This pattern, so interestingly explichted in Leemon's book, is forever enshrined in the fraternity's magnificent ritual. Leemon indicates that the three phase rites of passage scheme is flexible enough to meet the transitional need of any society or institution. Let us strive to deemphasize the separation, and transition sequences by more accessible membership policies, and shorter pledging periods; the great incorporation phase should become the mainstay of our fraternal educational system. We should suffer this frivolous conformity of spirit to last no longer. (An opinion expressed by John M. Hilliard in The Record of Sigma Alpha Epsilon)

MEMBERSHIP GROWTH REPORT
Bram- Baker is Still Running
July 1, 1974- June 30, 1975 For the 1974-75 school year there was a substantial increase in the number of pre-initiates, 1466 compared to 1251, an increase of 17.8% — while initiations increased by 5.6%, 1234 compared to 1168 for the previous year. The results for each chapter reflects where congratulations are due and where hard work is still necessary. This year the significance of increased size was noted in the first year of a two year program--the Pi Kappa Phi Plus 5! A chapter was given the goal of five initiations more than were initiated the previous school year. Special recognition is given to these successful chapters.
