WINTER 1978 Stewart with a Southern drawl: "I have a real concern about the future of our country . I just wonder how long the productive segment can continue to carry the unproductive segment. I'm concerned about our posture with relation to the rest of the world, both militarily and from the standpoint of trade. We have been in a position of leadership for so many years, but in recent years we have seen that slipping. It gives cause for concern."

William T. Cassels, Jr.路 The complete southern gentleman.

~

But in part because of his own sense vf security and well-being, Mr. Cassels is an unshakeable optimist.

While he has concern for the co tin try' he also has a strong feeling of hope, which is based on a high regard for the younger generation.

You get the idea talking to Bill Cassels that he wasn't sure he was going to come by this way again, so he figured he'd better enjoy as many things as possible. Not stupid things, or reckless things, but good wholesome things, things with the bite of adventure in them.

The description of the 1950 cover of the Star and Lamp was "A Boy, A Girl, And a Campus In Spring". William Cassels, Epsilon's delegate to the Portland Convention, and Epsilon's Rose, Miss Charlotte Rustin.

He has fulfilled his promise! .

The subject of the 1950 cover, William T. Cassels, Jr., symbolized and embodied all of the charm of American young manhood and ladyhood. He has fulfilled his promise, having become a real leader in his field. Time has been good to him in a physical way . His face has the same warm strength which characterized the 1950 picture. He is said by some to be the complete southern gentle - athletic, combat veteran, boating enthusiast, scubba diver, flyer, sailplane pilot, family man, churchman and successful businessman.

But these myriad accomplishments are not so much what he is; they are the results of what he is. And

if nothing else, the new Chairman of the Board of American Trucking Associations is a man who learned a long time ago what life is really all about.

In short, the energetic and accomplished Bill Cassels is a happy man. And he is a happy man primarily because he is not confused about values or priorities. He knows where he stands in relation to family friends, community, company, industry, country, church and Creator. He is a moralist without being a preacher; a patriot without being a chauvinist.

Bill Cassels talks about his concerns and hopes in the style of a Jimmy

Bill, whose real love at this time is sailplaning, and who is an accomplist pilot, enjoys with his son scuba diving and riding motorcycles.

"You mention motorcycles and most people think of leather jackets and swastikas." Bill says with a laugh, "It's not like that at all. We really enjoy it. And' we enjoy boating. Though I don't own a boat, I spend a lot of time on them." 路 But Bill Cassels' first love (other than his family) is trucking. "I grew up around trucking. It's the only thing I even knew and the only thing I ever liked. I started a love affair with trucks when I was a young one and held on."

Bill majored in economics at Davidson College, Epsilon, graduating in 1951 and then married Katherine Charlotte Rustin, his grade-school sweetheart, his girl of the 1950 Star and Lamp.

Faith in his country, faith in his fellow man, faith in his industry these are the hallmarks of a man who has faith in himself - William T. Cassels, Jr., Chairman of the Board, American Trucking Association.

Nine founders Return after 50 years weekend, made complete by Penn State's football team beating Houston.

John Kiser, Jr. as president of the housing corporation was responsible. However, he acknowledged that his father, John Sr., was the power behind the 9 charter members returning. The student area of concern was conducted by Archon Gerry Sacunas.

Nine founding members of Alpha Mu Chapter are recognized at the Chapter's 50th Anniversary celebration.

A good chapter has continuous alumni involvement of a constructive nature. Certainly Alpha Mu chapter at Penn State has had good alumni support through out its existence. Its current status reflects this

alumni involvement.

How else could the very successful 50th Anniversary be a fact. Over 300 alumni, wives, and students participated in a highly enjoyable

When the local Holiday Inn reneged on a contract with the corporation, the fraternity spirit of this chapter was not daunted. They erected a large tent, holding the dance for 300-plus people outside. The banquet was held at the university. A super weekend was enjoyed by a truly great chapter with outstanding alumni support.

Jerry Matthews For a total of eight years and ten months Jerry Matthews has served Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity in a variety of capacities. Only one other person has served the Fraternity at the Administrative Office for a longer period of time. However, the length of time is not what is significant.

The greatness of Jerry's contributions to the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity will not really be fully known for years to come.

He commenced his service as a Field Secretary upon graduation from Samford University in 1963, and then moved into the Administrative Office as an in-office staff. member responsible for student activities. He briefly left the employment of the fraternity, but returned after two years to assume the position of Assistant Executive Director and later the joint function of Director of Development. This span of experience runs from June, 1968, until his expected departure from the Administrative Office on March 1, 1978. During this period he obtained his MBA Degree from Florida Atlantic University.

Much of the growth of the fraternity during this period can be attributed to Jerry's expertise in the field of expansion and membership recruitment. During his last year with the fraternity he has added an additional talent and that was in the area of real estate as he gave Pi Kappa Phi Properties a challenging administrative dimension while serving as their administrator.

Although not implemented as desired, Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity has as a resource perhaps the finest program of member recruitment and member education available in the fraternity world . All of this was through the efforts of Jerry Matthews. Over 3000 students have been exposed to his presentations on recruitment, and the experience in which they will value throughout their lives. Even though sometimes they may not recognize this .

Jerry will be relocating in Springfield, Illinois where he will be the number 2 staff member in the Dlinois Association of Realtors with the title of Controller. There he will be joined by his wife, Sue, daughter Kara and son Jeremy . Jerry is assured of being an active and participating alumnus as a volunteer, however, the administrative function of the Fraternity will be the loser in this departure. _No one has served the fraternity with greater expertise, love and affection.

A SAFE INVESTMENT WITH A GOOD DIVIDEND

Phil Tappy (Georgia), National President

I saw a cartoon recently in THE NEW YORKER Magazine depicting a well-dressed man standing on a dock and shouting to a drowning man, "I can't swim, will $10 help?"

Absurd? . . . Perhaps. But I find a great deal of truth in the fact that most of us believe that to some degree money can cure all ills. And there is no denying that money can accomplish miracles.

The donations made to our outstanding Fraternity, I assure you, are spent wisely and would, I believe, meet with your approval were your to do our annual audit.

Fortunately, our Fraternity is not drowning. On the contrary, it is one of the fastest growing fraternities in the United States, and it is healthiest as it has ever been.

We are however, like the drowning man,路 in urgent need of assistance of a more personal nature. What we need is your time and experience.

Have you ever invested in a young man's college education? It is an investment in which you can take pride. Here is your opportunity.

The Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation is dedicated to providing' financial assistance and encouragement to young men who desire an education but are without sufficient funds.

The Foundation is a tax exempt organization operated by a volunteer Board of Trustees who are members of your fraternity. The young men who will be leaders in our nation in the future are on the campuses of our colleges right now; some of them need our assistance and support.

An investment in a young man's college education will help to prepare him better, both for good citizenship and for tomorrow's responsibilities.

The inclusion of the following clause in your will (or your designation of The Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation in your life insurance policy as a beneficiary) will insure that you will be a part of some young man's future: "I give, devise, and bequeath to the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation the sum of Dollars." (or otherwise describe the gift if it consists of real estate, securities, or personal property).

DO IT TODAY

Our chapters are in desperate need, although they may not realize it, of adult guidance, advice, and counselling. They need assistance with their finances, their housing requirements, fund-raising projects, scholarship, community service programs, and they need good constructive criticism.

.-

For additional information regarding the Foundation, write The Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation, P. 0. Box 15295, Charlotte, NC 28210.

In addition to assistance to existing chapters, your Fraternity wants to expand to other campuses. We need you to contact the dean at the school nearest you and ask if we might establish a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi on his campus. You'd be surprised how different the response is when the request comes from a local alumnus rather than from our Fraternity's Administrative Office. Local interest is very convincing.

Finally we need selected alumni to volunteer to contact other alumni who might be capable of making significant contributions to our tax deductible Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation.

In essence, "Yes, $10 would help, but not nearly as much as some real involvement." If you can help in any of the above ways, please let me know.

(Phil Tappy, National President)

MOVED? MOVING?

Please save your fraternity $0.25! You cost the operating budget just that much, 25 cents, when you move without sending a change of address.

So, please send your new, or preferred, address to Administrative Office, Pi Kappa Phi, P.O. Box 15295, Charlotte, NC 28210. Thank you.

The Professional Salesman tiator, an implementor and gobetween. He's a quarterback for his company while being a consultantcoach for customers and prospects.

He must be a business representative who can communicate ideas to potential customers about how his product and/or service will benefit the buyer, but willing to advise the buyer if his product won't satisfactorilly serve the buyer's particular need.

There's probably no occupation that offers you more openings and new opportunities each year than in selling.

Consider the on-campus job interviews. At least 25% of the job offers have been for positions in sales.

Another 20% in sales s~j~e.

Moreover, many engineers, agronomists, nutritionists, economists and others working~ in research, manufacturing and other nonmarketing areas shift in to sales as a continuing part of their professional development. They recognize that some front-line selling experience is helpful ·tn their career development. In fact, it's almost a prerequisite for higher management positions in many leading manufacturin'g and agricultural supply firms.

"Nothing happens until something is sold." That's as true today as ever. But, the way it's happening is a lot different than years past. We're now in the era of "consultative, negotiative" style selling. The day of the back-slapping, manipulative·, out-talking, ·over-powering armtwister has pretty much disappeared .

It has happened because buyers want to do business with professionals . . . people and firms that can help them analyze and solve problems.

The new era salesman no longer views his role as selling someone a somthing. Rather, he views his role as assisting a buyer to buy. He views the buyer not as a customer to be sold, but as a client to be served. As a result, buyers are beginning to aggressively seek out the advice of professional sales representatives. . . rather than concentrating on how to defend themselves against sales pitches.

The new era salesman is finding that it is easier to sell someone something that they want to buy the way they want to buy it, than to sell something that he (the salesman) wants to sell the way he wants to sell it.

There's a lot more to selling than just knowing your product and getting people to sign on the dotted line. Effective selling involves the dual responsibility of developing and implementing both short term and long range selling strategies ... being at the right place at the right time with the right product(s) and service(s) at the right price to satisfy the customer's needs, wants and/or desires.

This is a challenging and generally difficult assignment. The marketplace is in constant ch~ge -prices, production, weather, new products, competition and many other factors beyond the control of the sales people. Moreover, different prospects react differently to given circumstances.

To be successful, the new era sales person must be an enabler, a nego-

To be an effective salesman: First know yourself . . . why you do the way you do it. What turns you off.

count. You'll make mistakes, but that's the way you'll learn.

Talk with alums. Ask them what's their biggest challenge . . . what college courses have helped them the most . . . what kinds of continuing education they've gone after since they graduated.

The challenges of selling: - Believe in yourself . .. but don't be an ego-maniac. There's a fine line between being effectively competent and ineffectively cocky.

A salesman must learn to control his egotism . . . while maintaining enthusiasm and poise.

open-minded and aware of prejudices, your own as well as those of others.

- Find those things in which you can excel . .. and do so. But, don't ignore your weaknesses. Keep working at improving them. Strive to become a "well-rounded" sales person.

- Learn to accept criticism. Be adaptable; capable of adapting to different situations and different buyers.

- Develop a high tolerance for frustration. Be not easily discouraged. Be positive, forward thinking.

Remember: It's not what you are or what you have ... what counts is doing the most with what you have. A salesman should ask himself this question: "Would I hire me?"

If you know yourself you carr more effectively analyze your own strong points and capitalize on them while at the same time target your weak areas and seek to strengthen them.

Know yourself and you'll be better able to analyze your customers and prospects and interact with them properly and effectively.

- Be a self-starter. Plan, set priorities. Learn to blend just enough of this with action to get things done.

Make effective use of time; it's your most precious commodity.

Attitude ... it's critical. Your attitude toward life affects what you do. Attitude determines action, and action determines results. This applies to everyone, irrespective of job or occupation. But it's especially critical for persons in sales.

Intern Program complete success

- Learn to get along with others; effectively relate with people. Be

Think, talk and act successful and you will be€ome successful . . . in selling or whatever line of endeavor you choose. (by Gerald L. Wilkins, Alpha Gamma Rho)

As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "You are what you think about all day."

What about academic work? What courses should you take if you're going to be in sales?

Technical courses, of course. But, you must learn to communicate, too. Take courses in public speaking. Cultivate a good speaking voice.

Learn to think on your feet ... to articulate clearly and carefully. A program of selective reading· is a real help in developing vm:abulary and word facility. A salesman should become an astute selector of the right word and the right phrase for each selling situation.

Here, Pete Lanaris, Florida, uses the conference room at the Administrative Office while spending one week as the sixth intern in one of Pi Kappa Phi's newest and most successful programs of stu· dent involvement. The intern is given an opportunity to contribute to the entire Administrative Office operation.

Writing is essentially, too. Not as a journalist, necessarily, but for preparing reports to your supervisor and upper level management. Learn to write your thoughts and information clearly, concisely and interestingly for the in tended reader.

Don't overlook business courses, economies, sociology, psychology.

Learn how to dig out information and where to go to find it. You'll have to do a lot of that as a salesman. Learn to analyze situations the why and how.

'

Just an opportunity to meet Pi Kapps of differing and significant backgrounds while in Charlotte, such as Tom Sayre, designer of National Project, makes the intern program valuable. Conferences with the staff provides a student view to the administration.

Be a careful observer . . . develop acute awareness for what's going on around you. And, be analytical.

Learn to observe infinite differences - the usual and the ordinary. Contrast and compare people ... determine how they differ from each other and why.

Be ever on the lookout for problems and situations. A salesman is a "change agent." One of his jobs is to help people find better ways of doing things.

Learn to listen. In fact, listen more than you talk. Ask questions. It will help you learn a lot about customers and their needs.

If you haven't done any selling yet, get some practical experience in face-to-face selling with a summer job or part-time weekend or evening work. Even door-to-door or oncampus selling will help you learn.

The product or service you're selling not so important . . . it's the exposure to selling situations that

Other constructive work activities, even folding paper and preparing mailing, gives the student an insight into the total workings of the Administrative Office. The real value to Pi Kappa Phi comes from the advice and suggestions offered by the interns themselves during and following this work experience.

Office this organization, known as CAR, has grown until it now supports the alumni effort of 17 chapters. It, in fact, was able to show its actual eleemosynary nature with a cash refund to its "100%" customers at the end of last year.

What they are saying!

Several years ago the Administrative Office conceived the idea of an alumni service organization, of a non-profit nature, to provide a vehicle for a continuing alumni relations programs. A separate organization was created, conducted primarily by Brother Chuck Cummings of Charlotte, NC.

For more information contact C. D. Cummings, P. 0. Box 605, Matthews, NC 28105. Here are some comments from several chapter alumni corporations using CAR:

'The CAR Program is an effective com 路 munications tool for the Lambda Alumni Housing Association. Certainly, the money raised through the program is important, and in our case critical, but the most impor路 tant aspect of CAR is the long range impact of the continuity this program brings to our alumni efforts."

Tom Dalton Lambda-Georgia "Good program! Without it, the job would not get done. The alumni response to it has been favorable. No complaints. They like to see their name in the publication. This is perhaps the weakest point. Seems like WE DON'T GET OUR MATERIAL IN ON TIME. Sometimes the OMICRONICLE is

poorly printed (goes back to us not doing our job on t ime I guess). I felt to begin with that the costs were too great for the benefits, but have changed my mind now. I really don't have any suggestions to improve the program."

Jim Phillips Omicron-Alabama "I continue to be impressed with the overall quality and results of the CAR Program.

We could never have hoped to accomplish in ten years what you and your people have done in threel I am very grateful for every路 thing," Eivind Kolemainen Alpha Theta-Michigan

With the average gift being $23.50 your Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation had the best year of solicitation it has ever experienced.

During the summer of 1977, 14 alumni gave $100 or more. 19 contributed $50 to $99. The bulk of the gifts were of the 424 alumni who gave under $50 each.

While the Foundation continues to solicit major gifts, and does indeed encourage the inclusion in wills and bequests, this particular program

has been official over the years.

Your Foundation now sponsors both an internal and an external activity of significant value to you as an individual and to the Fraternity as an entity. Pi Kapp College, our national leadership school for undergraduate officers is sponsored by your Foundation. This event, held every even year during the month of August is one of the most successful leadership activities engaged in by your Fraternity.

pter ters ALPHA Charleston Among its 1977 activities, the chapter enjoyed a very successful rush. Of fourteen fraternities and sororities active on the College of Charleston Campus, Alpha of Pi Kappa Phi led rush with over 30 pledges.

BETA Presbyterian Good ol' P .C. We love it and its proud tradition. I dare say the af!ldemic life isn't any easier nowadays than when you alumni were struggling through (remember those eight o'clock classes). And the athletic program is again in true form . The football team ended its season with a 7-3-1 record. The highlight of course, was the Thanksgiving Day defeat of Newberry by which we reaained possession of the Bronze Derby. Beta Chapter gave strong support by attendance, participants, and, of course, supplying the Blue Haseman. We still proudly don the kilt in sup_port of our school!

Basketball is about to start into full swing and you can bet that the Pi Kapps will make their presence known.

Homecoming this year .- was a smash! Of course, we beat Wofford (sorry about that Zeta). The alumni turnout was great. Old friends were reunited and some of the most outrageous yarns were spun. The house was packed and all had a merry time.

We are mounting a drive to get all alumni to join us for a Rose Ball. We have had a lot of positive reaction so far. Tentatively, the plans call for a weekend at Myrtle Beach at the end of March or first of April. Specific place and date are forthcoming. Please make a note of this and try to join us.

GAMMA University of Calif. - Berkeley Gamma Chapter has set its goals high for recruitment this year. Twenty -eight additional men are being sought to compliment our fall associate members. A new comprehensive all· year rush program with special emphasis on spring recruitment of high school seniors was implemented by the spring officers with the help of the Administrative Office .

Thanks to our alumni corporation, the chapter house was painted this fall. Th e new paint job greatly enhances the physical appear· ance and overall atmosphere of the house.

Our alumni relations program is growing in leaps and bounds this year. Improved communi · cation, such as numerous responses to question· naires mailed to Gamma alumni, has been the key . Excellent ideas concerning ruch and social activities have been received . Special thanks to Thomas Christian Quayle (Gamma, ' 26) for an extremely helpful letter concerning rush.

The highlight of the fall quarter was Gamma's Founder's Day celebration held on November 12. An excellent buffet dinner was provided for the overflow crowd . Following dinner, house and alumni awards were present· ed. Bill Dayton was the recipient of the Spirit Award and Frank Wagner was awarded the Scholarship Award. Alumnus of the Year honors were presented to Travis Julian and Sonny O'Drobinak for their tremendous support this past year.

second year in a row, the Champion Master Chapter award. Iota's goal still has not been reached, as the brothers are now trying to receive the Founder's Award.

Bill Finney has again been named "Area Governor of the Year" and has been one of our Chapter's strongest supporters. Unfortunately, he has been transferred by his company to Charlotte, NC so we will miss his valuable guidance and assistance. George Pritchard is the new Area V Governor and Iota looks for· ward to working with him in the future .

A new concrete patio and wooden benches have been added to the house, making an ideal place to relax outdoors. The house has been completely repainted on the inside, and we have future plans for remodeling the bathroom.

Iota has been working in conjunction with the Georgia Tech. Interfraternity Council and the Leukemia Foundation of America on a Leukemia Fund Drive which has been quite successful. Ex-football coach Bobby Dodd was the honorary chairman for the campaign. The fraternities at Georgia Tech. were able to raise $14,000 to help continue the search for a cure to this devastating disease.

KAPPA University of North Carolina Kappa Chapter is proud to welcome 17 new brothers into our fraternity. Initiation of these new members was held at the Holy Family Episcopal Church in Chapel Hill on December 1.

This was exactly one year and one day after fall initiation of last year when our house was destroyed by fire. Things have come a long way since then, and we are glad to say that this year our house is still standing.

LAMBDA University of Georgia The Lambda Chapter of Pi' Kappa Phi at the University of Georgia is proud to report that we initiated ten pledges, which makes a total of forty -o ne active brothers for Fall Quarter. The quarter has been extremely busy for Lambda with Homecoming festivities, winning third place in decorations, intramurals, attaining first place ranking in the President's league, and our first annual Alumni · Parents banquet . Phil Tappy, National President and a Lambda alumnus, was the guest speaker with David Tidmore as host for the banquet. Two hundred people including active brothers, girlfriends, parents, alumni, and guests were in attendance.

New Officers have been elected, a new bud get approved, and plans are being made for the annual Viking Party and Rose Ball. The brothers are proud to be members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity and are working very hard to make Lambda the best Greek organization on campus.

ZETA Wofford Zeta Chapter has been extremely active this semester. We were the co-leaders in the first annual phonathon for Wofford College, raising over 7 4,000 dollars. We have also contributed to Toys for Tots, which is a charity for underpriviledged children.

The chapter followed the Administrative Office's outline for recruitment first semester and brought in 10 pledges with an excellent chance for the same amount second semester.

We have finished a new patio and deck and are in the process of remodeling the interior of the house.

Zeta chapter is rebuilding into one of Pi Kappa Phi's best chapters.

IOTA Georgia Institute of Technology This year has been one of the most successful in the history of Iota Chapter. One of the high · est awards that any chapter can receive, the Houser Award for most improved chapter, was presented to Iota. We also received, for the

Visitors are welcomed and encouraged at the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office. Shown here are, left to ribht, Terry Elder and Brad Bradshaw from the University of Georgia.

XI Roanoke College This November, Xi Chapter was fortunate enough to receive a long visit from Pi Kappa Phi Field Secretary Tom Tott. During his stay here, Tom provided the members of Xi with much valuable information and with several useful insights into methods of chapter improvement.

Especially welcomed were Tom's ideas and sug· gestions in relation to alumni affairs.

Xi is already planning, along with ·local

Easter Seals representatives for an upcoming Disco Dance-a-thon, scheduled to take place in mid-February. This chapter will provide for that event in areas of First-Aid care personnel, security, clean-up, etc., and will help in recruit· ing pledges of cash for the participating dancers. There may even be several dancing members of the chapter in the competition. All proceeds will go to Easter Seals.

This chapter has utilized three fund-raising programs during the present semester: a plan of recy~ling aluminum cans for cash, a sale of mail order light bulbs over the Thanksgiving holidays, and a Hoagie-sale, all of which have turned out to be enjoyable and participation inducing events, as well as turning over for the House a respectable and needed profit. AI · though the work for the can recycling program is yet finished, the cans still being accumulated until a sufricient amount is collected, progress is visible enough. (The crushed cans are piled ceiling high in one room .)

Xi Chapter is very proud of its 18 new ini· tiates. This was a large class of new brothers and will surely add strength and drive to the house. Proficient academically as well as ath· letically, these initiates will doutless prove to be well-rounded representatives of the Blue and Gold.

We would like at this point to thank all of the alumni who have contributed a share of thier knowledge and experience towards the house's betterment. Xi Chapter is truly for· tuante to possess many alumni who have been very helpful. Their aid has been greatly appre· ciated, although it goes often unrecognized, but not unappreciated.

OMICRON University of Alabama Omicron Chapter began the semester by sending a delegation of seven undergraduate members to the 36th Supreme Chapter. Also attending from Omicron were Travis Julian, Paul Wesch, Walt Dendy· Chapter Advisor, and Or. A. J. Strickland, Faculty Advisor and Na· tioanl Vice President. Omicron was proud to present its second National Rose Queen in the last three years, Miss Melanie Shannon.

Omicron is well represented on campus this year with members serving as senators of the S. G. A., members of the track team, a varsity cheerleader, and as a staff writer on the student newspaper to name a few. Our chances for representation in the S. G. A. look even better for next year, with six brothers and pledges running for various offices.

Three men were initiated into our chapter at the end of August , and already their presence is being felt. Two of the three are working as assistant treasurers, and two of the both play basketball and volleyball. Omicron's volleyball team came in second, with its only match loss coming in the finals. Although our football team finished strong, early losses kept both teams out of the playoffs. Upcoming sports include basketball and swimming and with all members of both basketball teams returning, Omicron has a good chance of having the A· team meet the 8 -team playoffs. Our swim team also should be considered as a major contender.

A victory in either sport could put us back in the running for the All-Sports Trophy.

Omicron was honored to have Brother Joe Sewell, Brother A. J. Strickland, and other local alumni for our Founder's Day Dinner, held December 7 . Special guest, Elbery Byron Bruce, Alpha Eta (Samford University), was presented the Golden Legion for 50 years of service to the Fraternity.

With 25 pledges soon to be initiated, Omicron is looking forward to the spring semester, especially the intramural program and S. G. A. elections. We are expecting to send another large delegation to Pi Kapp College next summer, and hope to renew friendships made in New Orleans.

RHO Washington and Lee University Rho Chapter is proud to be able to report a very successful year. As usual, rush at Washington & Lee was held during September and October, and Rho once again managed to re· cruit a fine group of pledges. Twenty-one strong; the largest on campus; composed of varying personalities, interests, and talents; we feel certain that Rho will continue to be a unique yet tightly knit brotherhood. Already our freshmen have become active in varsity sports, publications, and student government guaranteeing the continuation of Rho's pro·

minent posture in campus activities. We are confident that our rush will keep the chapter alive and well.

We are ranked very high in IM standings at Washington & Lee, having taken the golf championship, the runnerup title in tennis, and several individual awards won by brothers.

Parent's Weekend festivities were once again a great deal of fun. Parents, families, and stu· dents •. during a break in academic endeavors, were able to meet, eat, and celebrate together in a very exciting and fraternal atmosphere. Our Founder's Day commemoration, held on December 2, was another enjoyable event.

Dinner was highlighted by comments from Xi Chapter alumnus James C. Turk, who is the Chief Judge of the US District Court for the Western District of Virginia . Judge Turk made several interesting and thought providing com· ments on sentencing and was very well received by the chapter.

Through continued hard work and effort, we hope to again win the designation of Champion Master Chapter. We wish the best of luck to brothers everywhere, in all . the aspects that make Pi Kappa Phi such a rewarding experience.

SIGMA University of South Carolina Once again, Sigma Chapter at the University of South Carolina has continued to grow and serve the needs of the Carolina community. Our hard work of last year was rewarded this summer at Supreme Chapter by receiving the Champion Master Chapter award. Along with . this honor, we also claimed the Chapter Advisor of the Year, which went to David Rhodes. All of this we owe to the brothers, alumni, and friends of Sigma. This year we hope to repeat our outstanding achievements by sponsoring such worthwhile events as, "Cock fest 77". This giant pre-homecoming game pep rally was a huge success as evident by tripling the atten· dance of last year. Other Sigma sponsored events included our annual Fall Alumni· Undergraduate reception, Founder's Day activities, participation in Carolina Cares, and the initiation of twelve fine young men .

Sigma continues to be actively involved in all aspects of the Interfraternity Council, Student Government, and Student Media organizations.

In closing,Sigmawishesto thank both alumni and undergraduate members for their continuing support which makes all of these achievements possible.

TAU North Carolina State University The men of Tau chapter have gone through four months of prosperity in this school year.

The chapter has been involved in many activi· ties of note, from student government to sports to helping with a retarded boy scout troup.

Last year, 13 new men pledged and were initiated. These new initiates have proved to have all the qualities which the chapter holds to be sacred. Of course, we are really looking for· ward to 1978 as far as our membership goes.

With the installation of our new Vice Archon, this chapter is sure to move in a positive dirac· tion.

Our house is taking on a new look this spring.

We have started relandscaping our yard . So far, this project has been successful and the yard is really looking good!

Here at NCSU we are very proud of our house and still maintain the tradition of keeping the best looking housing on Fraternity Row.

UPSILON University of Illinios Upsilon got the semester off to a good start with our annual street dance. The street dance is always a big event on campus, and this year was no exception. In connection with this year's dance, a balloon sale was held in order to benefit the Heart Fund. Much needed money was raised through the efforts of the Pi Kapps.

This semester we had a fine group of nine associate members. Six of them are now newly initiated brothers. As a project, the associate members renovated the basement area of the house and turned it into a more functional recreation room. The newly redone room was put to use during a successful Homecoming weekend. Everyone at Upsilon was glad to see the large number of alumni that came for Homecoming.

On December 2, Upsilon was the host of an area conclave. Members of various chapters

,PAGE 6

in Area VIII learned much valuable information during the conclave. The presence of Bob Bryant, the Area Governor, and Durward Owen who is the Executive Director, made the day even more enjoyable and informative.

On December 10, we celebrated Founder's Day by inviting local alumni over to dinner.

Dr. Arnold Smith, a distinguished alumnus of Upsilon, gave an after dinner speech .

CHI Stetson University We have a super pledge class consisting of eleven outstanding students who will surely strengthen and uphold this fraternity's name with pride and dignity.

We are currently fighting to defend our title to the President's Cup of intramural sports .

After five sports we have won three, going undefeated in football, volleyball, and bad miton. Through these, we are currently leading the way and intend to do so for the remainder of the year.

We are striving to regain our titie as having the highest grade point average as a fraternity on campus.

ALPHA ZETA Oregon State University After Rush Week, we pledged 100% of our resident rushees and pledged five from informal rush bringing our total to 23, this being 80% of our goal. The five informal rushees pledged put us first on campus for rush. The house is full at 45 with 10 brothers and pledges living out.

This fall we had a meeting outlined by the Administrative Office to set goals this year, both for the pledge class and for the entire house. Afterwards, we had a 100% turnout at a chapter retreat to the Oregon coast where we totally revised our house policies. At the retreat we reached understanding between members and the pledges of what was expected of them and how we can work together in brotherhood to accomplish goals that we set for ourselves.

Brother Carroll is retired as President of the largest insurance in the Phillippine Islands. Brother Carroll, a charter member , visited the chapter following his retirement. He now lives in California.

PSI Cornell University Psi Chapter, after having one of its largest pledge classes ever, is forgoing onward with an excellent rush this year. Our Monday Night Football - Pizza Nights have consistently drawn large numbers of freshmen . Our goal of 20 ini tiates this year is within easy reach. The rushees are joining in on the activities of the brothers.

These activities include weekend football games, intramurals , yardwork, study sessions, and the ever present ping-pong tournament.

Our relationship with alumni is also expanding . We had the largest turnout of alumni in recent years at our Homecoming. More contact is being established with alumni who live at .,. great distances from Cornell. A Spring homecoming has been set up consisting of block seat ing for a lacrosse game and a banquet afterwards. Plans have been made for a super home路 coming next fall where the brothers and local alumni will be trying to get all alumni to return to Psi Chapter .

ALPHA ALPHA Mercer University The annual Founder's Day will have an added me a ning for the brothers and alumni of Alph a Alpha Chapter, as it will be the 10th anniversary of the rechartering of our chapter.

All alumni are urged to attend the event on April 2, 1978. For more information write : Sa m Hea rd , Box 112, Mercer University, Macon, GA 31207.

This year we have initiated six new brothers into Alpha Alpha chapter of Pi Kappa Phi.

ALPHA GAMMA University of Oklahoma Fall 1977 has been good for Alpha Gamma Chapte r. The beginning of the semester saw the replacement of the letters on the house that were destroyed by vandals last spring. Thanks to the efforts of some of our alumni we also began this year with new living room furniture.

Just prior to Thanksgiving we initiated the largest associate class this chapter has had since rechartering, overall it has been a good semester for Alpha Gamma Chapter thanks to the continuing support of our alumni and the Adminis路 trative Office .

ALPHA EPSILON University of Florida Alpha Epsilon Chapter began Fall quarter with rush and the addition of twenty-two new associate members.

The chapter is undertaking two new service projects. The first involves working with underpriviledged children after school, and the second working with an environmental action group in a aluminum can drive . Our chapter has received an energy conservation award for the greatest decrease in energy usage among University of Florida fraternities during the spring of 1977.

We would like to thank the alumni who attended Homecoming; we are grateful for your support and donations to the chapter. Major house improvements have been made possible by the hard work of all the brothers. These improvements include the addition of new house furniture, painting the upstairs hallway , addition of a new cook serving meals twice a day, and other smaller improvements.

University of Florida members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity pose on a very special vehicle in front of their Alpha Epsilon Chapter House.

and share in the activities of the weekend. All brothers and alumni from these chapters are encouraged to attend.

On February 11th, Past President of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, Jack Steward (1), along with Jack Austin (r), Chapter Advisor of Alpha Zeta Chapter, presented two students with a check for $150 each . Steven Hilcrest (I) and Rich Cham bess (r) are the Oregon State University students enjoying these checks which are the result of Alpha Zeta's Alumni having a special chapter fund within tht! Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation . To be eligible a student must be a senior member living in the house , having a 3 .00 GPA or above and be active in both chapter and campus activity. Any Alpha Zeta Alumni wishing to contribute to this fund should send their checks, made payable to the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation (Alpha Zeta Fund), Jack Austin , 3833 N .

Willamette Blvd., Portl and, OR 97217.

The chapter elected new officers for our coming year of building that is ahead of Alpha Zeta . Our retiring officers started our movement out of the slump from years past to a new and active ch apter on campus. The chapter has a good financial status this year and has been able to start financing a sprinkler syste m need ed to meet upd ated fire codes.

A new schol a rship committee was formed to draw up a program for new pledges . The pro gram is characterized by mandatory study tables, updates test files, and course, help sessions; all of these are presided over by the scholarship chairman.

We were saddened by the loss of our brother, Jim Schoonover, who was killed in a car ac cident returning to the chapter house after Thanksgiving. This cast a dark shadow over all of us during the week. Times like this make everyone realize how we take everyone for granted . Now we realize the true friendship among our brothers, opening new channels of communication between us.

Within the community is an organization that offers doctor care, advising, and counceling to the needy in the area. As a community pro ject, the chapter has decided to help do some upkeep work on the house that the organization works out of. We have also started organizing our support to the National Project.

Watch out for Alpha Zeta . We' re going places!

ALPHA ETA Samford University Once again the brothers of Alpha Eta have begun another successful year. In August, three brothers attended the 36th Supreme Chapter in New Orleans. It was a new experience for many and a welcome reunion for others while the sense of brotherhood became evident and grew stronger throughout the week. The brothers returned to Alpha Eta with a new set of goals to reach ranging from recruitment to Alumni relations. With the combined work of the men at Alpha Eta we are accomplishing these goals with great success.

Rush was one of Alpha Eta's major assets this year . Under the leadership of Brother Tom Robins along with the strong effort from the brothers and alumni, we pledged 28 men, the largest class in the history of Alpah Eta as well as the largest on Samford's campus. We are proud of these new pledges and their interest and enthusiasm in Pi Kappa Phi. However, with rush behind us, Alpha Eta has continued recruiting men as we have brought in 2 new pledges and have initiated the six from our spring pledge class. lntramurals remain as one of our strongest factors as we are now ranked first place among a group of approximately 20 fraternities and organizations currently competeing in Samford's intramurals. We have taken first, second, and third places in football, handball, and volleyball and are well on our way to winning the overall intramural trophy .

Currently the brothers are working on an event that we hope will soon become a new tradition at Alpha Eta. We are hosting a Pi Kappa Phi Conclave to be held in February for all the chapter in Alabama_ This date has been arranged to give Pi Kapps throughout the state an opportunity to meet on& another

ALPHA THETA Michigan State University On December 2, 1977, the brothers of Alpha Theta here at Michigan State wnet on a kid napping rampage . We kidnapped all of the 17 sorority house presidents on campus and held them for ransom for a basket of food, which was donated to Project Head Start in Lansing.

It was a good chance to meet all of the sororities and hear them sing as well as a great community service project . Needless to say it turned out very well.

We just initiated 6 new brothers in probably the best ritual ceremony we've had in years, the brothers all enjoyed it as much as the initiates did.

We are preparing for next terms rush and expect a full house by the end of the school year because of the strong organization of the chapter and the rush committee. The brothers are all looking forward to a prosperous new year.

ALPHA IOTA Auburn University On Octob e r 7 , 1977, the brothers and pledges of Alpha Iota participated in a Run -a-thon to ra ise money for the Lee County March of Dimes. The run covered sixty miles. It netted a thirteen hundred dollar donation . This is the largest donation ever raised by a single organization ever on the Auburn Campus.

Covered by local television and newspaper spread the good name of Pi Kappa Phi through out the area .

The money raised will go towards the purchase of a portable incubator for the Lee County Hospital.

Also, on November 16, 1977, Alpha Iota conducted its fifteen hundreth regular chapter meeting. It was a formal meeting marking the second milestone surpassed by Alpha Iota. Last year we celebrated our fiftieth anniversary .

ALPHAMU Penn State University November 5, 1977, we are proud to an now'lce, marked 50 years of Pi Kappa Phi brotherhood for the Alpha Mu chapter at Penn State . In recognition of the milestone event, we had an enormously successful anniversary celebration over the weekend of September 17th which proved to be one of the all time great weekends in Alpha Mu history. About 150 alumni came back for the weekend includ ing 11 charter members, and the presence of some of these men who hadn't visited in many years helped to make the golden event a very special one. Honored guests at the banquet we held at Penn State's own Nittany Lion Inn included Durward Owen; Ted Scharfenstein; the president of Penn State University, Dr. John Oswald; and the mayor of State College, Joseph Hays, who was gracious enough to proclaim Saturday, September 17th to be Pi Kappa Phi Day here in State College, PA. Of course these alumni have more to be proud about Alpha Mu Chapter than just 50 years of existence. We're still one of the top fraternities around campus, as well as having proved worthy of the status of Master Chapter again this year. One of the ways we helped to make our mark this past fall was when we joined forces with a sorority to build a float for the Homecoming Parade. Our first -class float was judged as only a second place, but in its short existence it was at least a monument to represent the efforts of one proud and hard working bunch of people.

Perhaps more importantly are the efforts we are continuing to make the charitable Miss Pennsylvania State University Scholarship Pageant a new tradition on ca mpus. What makes our coming second pageant different from last year's first event is the support we've received from people in charge of the Miss American Pageant; our new Miss Penn State will be eligible for the Miss Pennsylvania Pageant and therefore possibly the Miss America Pageant.

ALPHA XI Polytechnic Institute of NY A new enthusiasm has come to the members of Alpha Xi. We are looking forward to our fiftieth anniversary which is only one year away. Our alumni and a delegation of undergraduates are working toward this major chapter event. At the National Convention in New Orleans our "bash party" raised $76 for the National Project. We are now planning a drive that we hope will raise $1500 for this spring.

The project and events that we are scheduling will probably bring in more than this and we are confident of success.

Our outstanding Brother of the Year Award was presented to Joseph 0' Angelo and our outstanding Alumni of the Year Award was presented to Ralph J. Koerner our Chapter Advisor.

The Lou Rowley Award is presented to the anniversary class which has shared in furthering the development of the Polytechnic Institute of New York through their increased class participation in the annual fund.

The members of these classes have supported the institute and exhibited the same dedication that has been shown by Lou Rowley '31 for whom this award has been named. Lou Rowley, past President of the Alumni Board of the Polytechnic Corporation has been, and is, the leading advocate of the ideals upon which the Polytechnic Institute was founded.

This award was first presented on July 4, 1977 at the John F. Kennedy International Airport's International Hotel at the Annual Dinner Dance of the Polytechnic Institute Alumni Association.

ALPHA OMICRON Iowa State University Alpha Omicron Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi began the 1977-78 school year auspiciously by recruiting a large number of associate members.

The chapter recruited most new members during formal Rush Week at the beginning of the school year. The chapter's continuous rush program enlisted more associates during the first academic quarter. "Legacies" also increased the membership rolls: associate member Mike Brandt is the son of alumnus Don Brandt of Dysart, Iowa; and associate member Jamie Richert is the son of Dale Richert of Wapello, Iowa. Total chapter membership, including associates and active members living in and out of the house stands at 35 men.

Academically the house fared well during the first quarter of school. Four men earned perfect 4 .0 grade points, while many others also did very well. The house recognizes the scholastic achievement at its quarterly "Scholarship Ban quet," at which men maintaining a B average dine on steak, while members with lower grade averages are served hamburger and pork and beans.

The house is in a continous process of refurbishing. Work progresses as funds permit. Much old paint about the house has been removed, and new paint has been brushed on . The associate class has made particular improvements by sanding, staining, varnishing, and generally restoring the woodwork in the foyer. Other areas, particularly the kitchen, need renovation but must await the day when money can be budgeted.

Alpha Omicron Chapter held its annual Alumni Homecoming on October 29. Many alumni returned to the house to drink coffee, eat snacks, chat and reminisce. Most visitors drove to Ames from homes within the state of Iowa, but several members, whose homes are quite distant from Ames, were in the area and stopped by to visit. Notable among these were Harry F. Mabbitt, class of '29, from Falls Church, Virginia, and Oliver Sparks of Redwood City, California .

In connection with alumni visits, it should be mentioned that next year marks the 50th anniversary of Alpha Omicron's founding at ISU. The chapter hopes to make the next Home coming, on November 4, 1978, an especially large and attractive affair, Alpha Omicron alumni from anywhere in the state, the country, and in the world are encouraged to return for the golden anniversary. Watch the Star and Lamp and the chapter publication, The Almicron, for futureannoucementsconcerning the anniversary.

ALPHA SIGMA University of Tennessee The fall quarter of the 1977 school year will certainly hold many memorable moments for brothers, pledges and alumni of Alpha Sigma chapter here at the University of Tennessee.

The quarter began with a very successful rush in which we obtained a fine group of pledges that should benefit us for years to come .

Homecoming, as always, was a time of reflection, of reliving good times and of renewing old friendships . Food and drink were plentiful and the house was alive with the tales of outrageous escapades long past.

To highlight the quarter United States Senator Howard H. Baker, Jr. paid a visit to his old ch apter which had shortly before elected him alumnus of the year. Senator Baker was seeing the house for the first time and his comments during the short tour expressed his pride, and approval. After the tour, which ended in the living room, Senator Baker was presented with an oil portrait of himself which had been commissioned by the brothers of Alpha Sigma.

Just before Senator Baker's visit the house had undergone many improvements made possible by a huge donation by alumnus Steve Kirkpatrick as well as donations by other alumni.

gether enjoying the Jersey Shore's activities.

Late summer and early fall saw the house a hub of activity, many improvements were seen during this time. The first floor of the house saw the most improvement . Two walls were removed and the Chapter Room received a coat of paint.

The chapters recent graduates were 100% successful in attaining jobs. This has brought an increased interest in scholastic achievement in the house . Hopefully this will help our number one standing on campus.

The chapter is currently 35 strong and threaten ing to outgrow the house . Although our fall rush was a little weaker than we had hoped, we still managed to attract 10 very enthusiastic pledges. The spring rush campaign is well organized and underway. We have many fine prospects, and have hopes of doubling the pledge class.

As usual, our second semester seniors seem to be leading the house . Everyone is anxiously awaiting our annual Rail Day celebration with the girls from neighboring Russell Sage College. Our social chairman and his committee are curently planning our fund raising event for this year's National Project . From what we have seen it promises to be an original activity designed to be fun for all involved while still raising needed money for the charity .

Our intramural program is very strong with about two-thirds of the brothers involved. We are espcially proud to be the current I FC pocket billiards champions and we also sport the individual campus champion. Other teams that are doing well are our two hockey teams with only two losses between them in fifteen games.

The financial status of our house is good.

However, due to the age and beauty of our house , which we are very proud of, we are forced to make many major ..r!!Pa irs. Alumni interest is now growing and is greatly appreciated.

This past semester has been a full one for the Beta Beta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

To begin with, Beta Beta Chapter is currently far ahead of the other fraternities in the intramural program at Florida Southern College consistantly taking second place in volleyball, cross country, and football, and most recently a first place in wrestling.

Fall rush was our best in three years, and we are expecting an even better rush this spring.

Beta Beta Chapter is among the top three fraternities in over .. all grade point average.

In October, Beta Beta Chapter held its annual haunted house for the benefit of U.N.I.C.E.F. with the help of Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. This year we raised close to $220 for the needy children .

Beta Beta is as strong as ever and encourages all alumni to stop by and pay us a visit.

ALPHA UPSILON Drexel University

BETA DELTA Drake University

~

We at Alpha Upsilon utiljze the concepts and ideals of brotherhood to promote ind ivi dual growth. There is nothing that we find more fascinating and more rewarding than watching the changes that take place in ourselves and in our brothers .;s our college life contmues.

This year at Alpha Upsilon we have con tinued our success at causing this personal growth to take place. We had a very successful Rush season which not only- generated interest in Pi Kappa Phi in our pledge class, but also renewed that interest in our brotherhood. And all this we accomplished with. a very basic ingredient, Friendship!

ALPHA PSI Indiana University The Pi Kapps of Alph a Psi have had a very successful semester this past fall. For our third straight year, we have taken first place in Indiana's Homecoming act1V1t1es. The brothers worked hard with their Little Sisters in building another winning float, centered around the theme, "Rosy Memories."

Of all our activities this semester none has had more meaning with the celebration of our 30th anniversary on the Indiana University" campus. After our victorious Homecoming, we held a banquet with brother Mel Metcalfe as guest of honor. Brother Metcalfe entertained us with feats of magic and a very inspirational speech.

Last December 3rd, we initiated a class of 16.

Alpha Psi Chapter is looking forward to next semester's activities. Events at Indiana, such as I. U . Sing and Little 500 bike race are of major importance to us. Sororities Delta Zeta and Sigma Kappa are pledging their efforts to help us be victorious in these activities.

In conclusion, we wish equalled success to our brothers across the country in any and all of their endeavors.

Alpha Psi of Pi Kappa Phi has lost a fine brother in the death of Glen E. Schleibaum, Jr. Glen was a pre-med student at Indiana University majoring in Athletic Injuries. He was a registered medical technician, and was a student trainee for both varsity football and hockey.

While living at the house, Glen was House Manager and was the recipient of the Alpha Psi Scholarship Award for 1976.

A BROTHER A brother is always around , his presence is felt, his voice is heard, even though no words are spoken. A memory , whether a tear or laughter, is a force that cannot be explained or understood.

But death itself is a justice that is never understood or explained; rather it is a state of mind, or a fact of life.

Life must go on ... tor a memory is the finest gift that a brother can possibly give.

David W. Scheibaum In memory of Glen E. Schleibaum, Jr .

BETA ALPHA NJIT Beta Alpha Chapter continued good hopes for the future. The brotherhood is looking with renewed faith in increasing the chapter size.

This fall's Rush was successful in attaining a pledge class. Our ten new associate members are tine students and quality individuals. Further· more, the concensus of the brothers is that this crew when initiated will help the house im· mensely.

Summer months this year were filled with continued brotherhood. A summer house was rented in the Jersey Shore Community of Manasquan. This small house served as a surrogate chapter house, a home away from home.

Weekends saw much of the brotherhood to-

them in a game of football. (We still don't know how they managed to beat us!) Then to add the final touch to homecoming, the float that we built and entered in the parade won awards for Best Overall and Most Humorous.

BETA KAPPA Georgia University This year's Founder's Day was the biggest and best in our chapter's history. Not only did it include Beta Kappa, but also Iota Chapter from Georgia Tech and the Atlanta Alumni As· sociation. Our guest speaker was our National President, Phil Tappy.

With this being our largest Founder' s Day in some time we were able to do things we don't usually do, such as meeting some of our not so recent alumni. We see this as an opportunity to strengthen our alumni relations.

Our annual charity, "Feed the Kids", collected over 8,500 cans of food to distribute to needy families in the Metro · Atlanta area.

The Philanthropy is in its 23rd year and is the oldest at Georgia State. The food is collected for the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, which is responsible for the distribution of the food. We have expanded the event every year to include organizations, non-greek as well as greek.

Recently we elected new officers with John Knapp as Archon. These new officers are dedi cated to improving themselves as well as the fraternity and are attending a year-long seminar on development of assertiveness and leadership ,. qualities.

We look forward to continuing,progress. ,

This year is not even half over, yet Beta Delta has accomplished more this fall than ever before. Our numbers have grown, activities have improved, the house is lool<ing better, and Pi Kapp brotherhood is everywhere.

Activation this year brought us 23 new brothers, each one of them are ready to work for and with the house. Our chapter, now near the 80 member mark, shows signs of relentless growth and prosperity in years to come.

Pi Kappa Phi at Drake University has proved to be a vital part of the Des Moines community.

Over $1000.00 has been collected for various charities throughout the city. As far as National Project goes, Beta Delta was also on the top with over $1200.00 in one national project alone.

When Beta Delta was awarded with the Champion Master Chapter, we knew that we had to assume the role of leader for the national organization. Archon Gary Zimmerman set the goals early in the semester to do just that. Aside from leading the natio nal organization of Pi Kappa Phi , we felt that we must also lead the complete Drake community . We are currently the second most active house, in scholarship, in community, in campus activities, and in intramural a~ hletics . Ovr goal is clear.

There are many other areas which we have estab li shed ourselves, not only out of the house but within. Accounts receivables are now at their lowest point in our history, and our finances are looking better everyday.

There are even many new things at Drake University which Pi Kapps are a part of. The main source of pride is in a magazine which three of our members are editors. Also two other members were initiated in the honorary greek community of Gamma Gamma. Gamma Gamma is a community consisting of only the top 2% of greeks in various areas.

Our elections for second semester are coming near and many brothers are looking to the future in a office. The process of picking good leaders is of little concern here since there seems to be an over abundance of them. In any event of the outcome, Beta Delta's future has never been brighter.

BETA ETA Forida State University This has been an excellent quarter for Beta Eta and it seems to reflect the positive attitude here in the house.

We started with Rush which brought us a very good pledge class. They are very enthusias· tic, have a degree of intellegence, and it will be a pleasure to initiate these men as brothers in Pi Kappa Phi. Our next big event was Homecoming which really brought out the spirit that is here at Beta Eta. Many of our Alumni came back to see their school and their fraternity brothers. We exchanged ideas, had a Bar-B-Que, and played

BETAMU McNeese State University Beta Mu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi will be initiating four of six pledges.

Beta Mu's Founder's Day was held on December 11, 1977 at the Downtowner Mater Inn, in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The guest speaker was Mel Metcalfe.

January 14, 1978 was the date of Beta Mu's second annual Chess Tournament. This event is held in conjunction with Prien Lake Mall Merchants. Trophies were awarded for first, second, and third place in both divisions, high school and open.

BETA TAU Valdosta S~ate Beta Tau chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is very proud of the 21 new associate members they pledged during their Fall quarter Rush. The brothers, pledges, Iittle sisters, and sponsors are equally as proud of their new house . A lot of work has been put into this house, and we hope all our brothers traveling south will feel welcome to stop by and visit.

Founder's Day at Valdosta State proved to be a success this year. Our appreciation goes out to our alumni for their participation. We were honored by the presence of President S. Walter Martin and his wife, and we were especially pleased with our guest speaker, Dr. Joseph Tomberlin , who was the' third archon of Beta Tau Chapter.

The final plans have been submitted for our annual Miss Valdosta State Pageant under the direction of Marc DeMott and Robert Williams.

The brothers and pledges had the Christmas spirit this year as they provided a Christmas dinner for a local family. Our Historian would like to thank one of our charter members, Ken Ferell, for his help with starting to reactivate our alumni chapter. Mr. Ferell is also the direc tor of student activities at VSC, and with his help and the help of other alumni , Beta Tau hopes to have an acti ve alumni chapter by the end of the year.

BETA CHI East Texas State University Beta Chi Chapter is continuing to prosper.

We initiated 20 good men on November 29.

Since it was such a large class to be initiated, Gamma Upsilon from 0 . S . U. came down to help us.

This semester the chapter has greatly im· proved the appearance of the house. We have completely remodeled the downstairs area and are extremely proud of it. We would like to encourage all of our Alumni or any other Alumni in Texas to drop by and see our house and visit.

BETA PSI Tennessee Wesleyan College Beta Psi had an excellent fall rush program exceeding the chapter quota by three.

We had a fund raising project at the Halloween Arts Carnival, and netted $60. The money was used for the better development of the house . Beta Psi, financially is operated at an even balance. The situation will become better during the Winter Quarter when the house will be full.

We are continuing our rush program through · out the year and urge other chapters to do like· wise.

BETA EPSILON University of Missouri - Columbia After a period of uncertainity, Beta Epsilon Ch;,pter is in full swing at the University of Missouri, Columbia. A successful recruiting summer resulted in 34 new members, most of which live in the house.

The intramural program has consistently ranked us in the top ten out of 27 fraternities.

We placed second in golf and softball while participating competitively in other team sports.

Socially, Beta Epsilon has been having a wide variety of functions ranging from a bonfire· hayride to our Founder's Day Winter Formal.

Through activities and intramurals our chap· ter is respected among other houses around campus. The future looks prosperous for Beta Epsilon. The resources available at the Univer· sity of Missouri along with every effort from our brothers makes our chapter one of the strongest chapters of Pi Kappa Phi.

project to benefit Tampa's McDonald Training Center for the retarded. This enormous project, entitled "The I FC Bud Bowl" is now an annual football game between the Greeks here at Tampa and the Greeks at the University of South Florida. Unfortunately, USF won this year's game, but the Tampa Greeks were easy victors in the post game activities, led by Pi Kappa Phi. Beta Lambda is proud of Brother Eric Romanino for his original idea of the "Bud Bowl ". Eric is also President of I FC, Attorney General in S. G. A., and our newly elected Archon for the Spring Semester.

The Charlottesville, Virginia, March of Dimes has been enhanced over the years by the efforts of Beta Upsilon Chapter at the University of Virginia. Their effort is conducted in the form of a pole setting activity which attracks much attention on the streets of downtown Charlottesville.Several thousand dollars is raised each year.

BETA LAMBDA University of Tampa Beta Lambda Chapter at the University of Tampa is extremely proud of its accomplish· ments this past Fall semester, under the leadership of Archon Dave Helterbran . In addition to the acquisition of a new house, the Pi Kapps here have grown to be the largest fraternity on campus.

This fall, nine new brothers were initiated .

Their efforts were shown immediately in help· ing with the Fall Rush, under the guidance of our pledge warden and active brothers. A very successful pledge class was formed, which has come a long way in their long trek toward brotherhood.

Fund-raising for the community as well as the fraternity continued on the upswing.

Projects from car washes, to blood drives, to heart fund contributions proved the efforts of a hard working fraternity. The fall of 1977 also marked the beginning of an annual community

BETA OMEGA East Tennessee State University The Beta Omega Chapter is growing and learning at a phenomenal rate. Six new brothers were brought into our brotherhood on October 31, halloween! Our pledges after halloween number 14. All seem able and competent men and we are very proud of each and every one.

Our house hes undergone some face-lifting since September. New paint, new wall paper, a newly painted basketball court, a new front sidewalk and new king-size front lawn letters constitute our improvements. Our heating system seems to be our only major project left to conquer.

Thanks to our alumni, Homecoming '77 was the most successful social event this year. On the subject of alumni, the Beta Omega Chapter is in the process of preparing for the arrival of Senator Howard Baker in the spring. This and many other ideas are vindictive of our chapter and the direction it is now seeking.

GAMMA ALPHA Livingston University The Gamma Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has had an enjoyable fall quarter . We will soon make our first payment on the purchase of our house. We raised several thousand dollars through various projects.

PAGE 8

Presently, we have eight pledges who will join our fraternal brotherhood soon.

Recently, we celebrated our annual Founder's Day Banquet. The President of our university, Dr. Asa N. Green , was the featured speaker.

Also, the fraternity gave Mrs. Lynn Smith, wife of our deceased Chapter Advisor, Mr. Lynn Smith, an honorary Little Sister membership and an inscribed silver tray . The presentation was made by Mr. George Sadler, our chapter's first archon .

We have had several civic projects. Among them were sponsoring a "No Smoke Day" on campus in conjunction with the American Cancer society. We also conducted a " Toys for Tots" campaign to give toys to needy children for Christmas. We took our annual trip to the local nursing home and put up a Christmas tree and sang Christmas Carols to the elderly.

Our chapter would like to congratulate Brot· hers Dee Outlaw and Robbie Hunt. Brother Outlaw, our scholastic advisor, has recently been appointed Area Governor fqr Area XV and Brother Hunt was awarded · a scholastic scholarship which is given by the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation.

In intramural football, we finished with a disappointing 3·6 record . Despite our dismal football season, the Pi Kapp Blue Raiders are looking forward to next quarters activities and are favored once again to capture their sixth All -Sports championship in the last seven years.

During homecoming we had a reception at the house for alumni and parents. Also, pertain· ing to homec;oming , our float captured the third place prize.

We are presently planning a good winter rush program and a retreat during the holidays. The chapter hopes that this will help us have an out· standing winter quarter.

GAMMA BETA Old Dominion University For the second year in a row Gamma Beta won the Inter· Fraternity Council Scholastic Award, having achieved an overall grade point average of 2.82, the highest in the history of Old Dominion University. This was achieved thanks to the efforts of all brothers, both old and new.

In April, two men were initiated into the brotherhood. Fall semester rush brings four pledges back from last semester, plus a very active rush schedule which we hope will in· crease the number of potential candidates. In August the brotherhood held a rush seminar to organize and prepare for the upcoming Rush week.

Gamma Beta's chapter house is over sixty years old. Along with an old house comes many problems. A few years ago a major repair was done on the eaves; a repair which is being paid for entirely by the brothers of Gamma Beta. Recently it has become necessary to make few minor repairs. Thanks to the talents of brothers and alumni, the work was done with a minimal of expense. Our chapter house is finally shaping up.

Gamma Beta had representatives at the Supreme Chapter meeting in New Orleans.

They came back to Norfolk busting with ideas and stories. The entire brotherhood is looking forward to winter semester anxiously.

GAMMA GAMMA Troy State University Brothers return ed early fall quarter to get the house ready for rush . We completed a patio behind the house , we also panelled the walls and lowered the ceiling in the poolroom.

All the hard work seemed to pay off with an outstanding rush as we signed forty -six young men.

This homecoming, instead of building a tradi · tional homecoming yard display, we donated the money that would have been spent, $150.00 to the Alabama Baptist Children's Home.

Brothers and pledges joined forces to win first place in the Reclamation Contest by going out collecting loads of bottles and can. First place prize was $500 .00.

GAMMA DELTA Memphis State University The Pi Kapps of Gamma Delta Chapter, once again , had a succcessful fall semester. Out · standing school spirit was evidenced by hanging a giant "Pi Kapp says ··· Go M.S.U." sign on the campus library tower during Homecoming week .

This spirit carried over into intramurals.

Several brothers captured individual all · university honors, which helped the Pi Kapps take the lead in intramural sports. Gamma Delta Chapter was also involved in trick -or· treating for U.N.I.C.E.F. with Gamma Phi Beta Sorority and in cleaning up the yard of a nearby elderly couple.

Recently, Brother Doug Littlejohn was elected Governor of the Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislature (TISL) . This is the highest attain· able student government office in the state of Tennessee. Brother Ken Mills was named editor· in-chief of Memphis State's yearbook.

The Gamma Delta Chapter was honored this fall to be able to present two fifty-year membership certificates. Oliver Cathey and Dr. Frank Latham, both Memphis residents, were initiated into Alpha Lambda chapter in 1927.

This semester, eleven men were initiated.

Combined with fifty-three actives, the Gamma Delta Chapter is looking forward to a produc· tive and exciting Spring semester.

GAMMA EPSILON Western Carolina University The brothers of Gamma Epsilon returned to campus this fall with the idea of proving that we are the best fraternity on campus.

Rush got off to a slow start, and never did pick up the momentum it needed. Being on the semester system for the first time only added to confusion . But we were able to get five great men. Next semester rush should yeild more pledges.

Homecoming as everyone had hoped was a success and everyone had a good time . If nothing else came out of Homecoming, old friendships between the alumni were renewed and friendships were made between new Brot· hers and old Brothers and I think everyone realized the Fraternity has not changed over the years · just the faces.

Gamma Epsilon is off to a good start this year in intramurals. The participation and en· thusiasm of the brothers are the main reason why we are currently in second place in the fraternity standings. If our basketball team has a good season, we could move into first place by the end of fall semester.

GAMMA THETA University of NC - Wilmington The Gamma Theta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi started out the 1977 fall semester by electing new officers. The Executive Committee is doing their best with tremendous help from our alumni and the rest of our brothers.

After the officers were elected we im mediately began our fall rush. From. this we were immediately able to obtain five great guys.

Hopefully we will get an even greater amount of pledges during our spring semester.

Our house is in the process of some much needed repair work. Without the donations from our alumni association we would not be able to make these changes. We feel our alumni are the best to be had, because of their love and devotion to the Fraternity in general. We hope every chapter is as fortunate as Gamma Theta.

The alumni sponsored a fall dance which was a great success. About 150 people were present and everyone could have danced all night. They also sponsored a golf tournament.

The Gamma Theta Chapter is working hard for fraternity progress and building an even stronger brotherhood, hoping to spread the true meaning of fraternity to the students at UNC·W and give them an idea of the importance of fraternity.

GAMMA KAPPA Georgia Southern Gamma Kappa had eleven pledges fall quarter and winter quarters rush produced eight more pledges. As far as rush we were second on campus the last two quarters .

Our Founder's Day Banquet held on December 3rd was very successful. We appre· cia ted Jerry Matthews' effort in helping us locate our speaker, Mike Trull from Pennsylvania.

In sports, flag football got off to a slow start.

At the time of this printing, we are 6-3 and on a five game winning streak. No more losses are expected and with the attitude and support we have it should be an exciting finish. In the Punt· Pass-Kick and Snap competition we finished a strong second and accumulated more points for the I FC trophy that will be presented at the end of spring to the fraternity with the most sports points. Our raquetball doubles team placed first in Greek competition.

GAMMA LAMBDA CHAPTER University of Missouri - Rolla Once again the brothers of Gamma Lambda Chapter feel we've had a semester of personal growth and improvement. It began with notification in August that we'd met Master Chapter standards, an accomplishment that we're ex· tremely proud of. ' On the home front, the brothers have shown their continuing interest in public service by winning, for the second consecutive semester, the Student Council Blood Drive Participation Trophy. This "travelling" trophy is awarded to the campus organization with the highest group percentage participation in the campus Red Cross Blood Drive held in October and April.

House improvements this semester were con· centrated in three areas; patio, office and TV room . For many years the house considered re·gravelling the terraces surrounding the patio and barbecue. Though presently incomplete, we hope to finish in the spring (can't just leave tons of rock piled on the patio!) More work has been done on the new office. The new flooring is down, the outer walls are nearly finished, and our spring officers are anxiously awaiting com· pletion this spring. The purchase of a couch, love seat, and matching coffee and end tables for the TV room was finally accomplished, too.

Last semester's attempt to create officers' manuals was quite fruitful in itself, yet this semester has seen continued improvement in these manuals. With continued revisions and updating, we believe they will provide contin· uity to and efficiency in the functioning of each officer and our chapter as a whole.

Recruitment got off to a slow start again this fall, but picked up sharply after mid-semester with a large number of prospectives being contacted. Spring and summer recruitment should be the best yet due to the creation of the Vice Archon office and definition of his duties con· corning recruitment year round. Need less to

say we expect to have a full house next fall with a few out-of-house members possible.

The Parents' Club saw its first Founder's Day Banquet this year with Area Governor Jack Casper speaking on the fraternity experience.

Parent attendance was good and the mothers made exceptional buffet dishes. This spring be· gins the first bi -annual Parent's Newsletter that is to contain member address information, a semester calendar and project information .

GAMMAMU Belmont Abbey College As the new year begins, Gamma Mu Chapter looks back on some of the highlights of the past semester. Among the improvements to the house was a new bar installed by the brothers.

These activities were financed by fund -raising events including the first annual Gong Show, an amazing success. Most of the school atended, packing the house and later bringing it down.

Unfortunately, one of our newly initiated brothers missed the first semester bacause of a serious car accident in August. However, he's on crutches and will be back with us in 1978.

Gamma Mu has had problems in the past, but we begin the new year with a new spirit and excitement with the prospect of an excellent pledge class and a great future.

GAMMA RHO Lander College As Lander College grows so does Gamma Rho Chapter. Gamma Rho has embarked on a year bigger and better than ever. We have al · ready initiated eight new men and look forward to a successful rush in the spring.

Again Pi Kapps at Lander College have taken an active leadership role in student government.

This year has seen brother Tom Gettys presid ing over the senate as Vice President, brother Bernie Pannone acting as President Pro-Tem, and brother Steve Drummond as a senator.

Brother George Young, Glen Chaney, and Devon Smith are members of the Entertainment Council. These brothers through their hard work have shown the campus the leader· ship qualities that Pi Kappa Phi has .

On November 16, 1977, the brothers of Gamma Rho had a steak supper honoring alumnus Blanford Eubanks for 50 years of being a Pi Kappa Phi. Brother Eubanks was initiated at Pi Chapter, but now resides near Lander College with his wife. Everyone who attended the supper enjoyed the food and a candid conversation with brother Eubanks.

November 4, 1977 saw the initiation of eight new brothers. lntramurals is again going strong for the Pi Kapps. At the half way mark we are fighting for first place for the Intramural All Points Trophy.

GAMMA UPSILON Oklahoma State Gamma Upsilon started the fall semester off with plans to regoranize it's housing corporation and get a stronger relationship with it's alumni. We had over twenty alumni come back and visit the house during homecoming this year and so far have received about 10 letters from alumni who are scattered over the nation.

The housing corporation elected it's new officers this fall and are in the process of setting up their program . Meeting these two goals have helped us tremendously.

For the spring semester we have planned some fund-raising projects for the National Project. We hope to double our donation of last year . Also, our Archon, Wayne Kiner, will be attending a workshop at the National Office in the spring, and Kendall Roth was elected of the Student Government Association at O.S.U . for the next year.

GAMMA PHI University of South Alabama The Gamma Phi chapter was pleased this past year to be one of the seven receipients of the Champion Master Award. Through the diligent work of many of the chapter members, the ac· cumulated efforts paid highly.

During the fall rush period the chapter pledged eleven men all of whom we feel will make excellent brothers and bring credit to Pi Kappa Phi at South Alabama.

The Pi Kappa Phi's are again strong this year on ca mpus. Our chapter members hold positions including President of the Student Body, President-Pro-Tem of the S. G. A. Senate, three Senate positions, Editor, Operations Manager and Managing Editor of the Campus News· paper, Secretary of the I FC and President of Phi Eta Sigma Honor Fraternity.

On December 10th, the Mobile area was honored to have Phil Tappy, National Presi dent, as the guest speaker for Founder's Day. Sponsored by the Gamma Phi Chapter, Gamma Phi Alumni and Gulf Coast Alumni Association, the 73rd birthday of the Fraternity was celebrated at the Mobile Country Club with 150 people in attendance.

Past Archon, Frank Havard recently represented the University at the National Youth Leadership Conference of the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Hollywood, Florida.

Frank, who is also Vice President of the Mobile Chapter of MD, was among the 300 people from across the country attending the event.

GAMMA PSI Augusta College The spirit of Pi Kappa Phi is alive and well

here at Gamma Psi. Needless to say, our brotherhood and togetherness was strengthened by the Supreme Chapter convention in New Orleans.

We are extremely proud of the fact that Gamma Psi was recognized as having the largest delegation attending the Supreme Chapter as over 20 brothers chartered a bus to make the trip.

Since the Supreme Chapter, Gamma Psi has become more involved in a variety of activities.

Our chapter will be hosting a conclave of Area Five. Two parties are planned along with an athletic program with the victorious chapter receiving a trophy. We are looking forward to meeting and associating with all the chapters in our area and are sure of a very Pi Kapp week · end!

As the result of a well organized and full fall Rush program, Gamma Psi has 12 new pledges.

Gamma Psi is also involved in community affairs. Pi Kappa Phi was represented as partici· pating in the annual United Way campaign in Augusta. Recently, the Boy Scouts were aided by our group as some brothers spoke to the public attending "Boy Scout School Night".

We are currently discussing becoming involved in the American Lung Association.

The brothers are taking giant steps in improving the chapter house. Recently, the entire entrance hallway was wallpapered, the floor sanded and waxed and ceiling painted. New drapes were also added. Brother's shingles and award plaques along with paddles are now attractively displayed. Work has already begun on the Chapter Room as we plan to wallpaper, paint and generally revitalize the room.

On campus, Pi Kappa Phi is very active. We are the oldest and most successful fraternity at Augusta College. We have influence in nearly every facet of college life . Pi Kappa Phi is repro· sented on the Inter-Club Council at the school.

Brothers are also on the White Columns staff, ~ which is our yearbook.

GAMMA OMEGA University of Montevallo The Gamma Omega chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is concluding a very successful fall semester., We initiated eight new members in September. In October we signed more pledges than any other fraternity in fall rush, and we are looking forward to an ever more productive spring.

The brohters have been busy this fall improv· ing the fraternity house which we purchased last spring, and we have raised funds for these improvements through weekend work projects .•· In October we had a fund-raising project with Chi Omega. The money was donated to the University Speech and Hearing Clinic. We recently played Lambda Chi Alpha in a padded football game with the proceeds going to Muscular Dystrophy.

With our successful fall and our determined attitudes we feel optimistic that we will continue to be the best fraternity on campus.

The Brothers of Delta Beta Chapter at North Georgia College collected $300 over the holidays to help purchase much needed instructional material and equipment. Here, Pi Kapp fund · raising chairman Alex Dryden (I) presents checks to alimentary school principle, Ralph McCrary, and Jaycee Tom Richardson (r).

DELTA ALPHA Virginia Tech.

This fall Delta Alpha has instituted a new pledge program and so far everyone feels it has made pledging for our associate brothers more meaningful. The house has taken on a new look this year with all the brothers lending a hand with some new additions and improvements.

As far as fund-raising is concerned the brothers have once again united with many projects from hot dog sales, to selling buttons at our football games. These projects combined have added well over $750 to our accounts.

Community service saw the teaming up of the I FC and the Montgomery County Emergency Assistance Program in a food drive that consisted of bringing two cans of food to the VPI vs. Wake Forest football game. The project netted over $500 and 200,000 cans of food for the underpriviledged of Montgomery County.

Delta Alpha has added a new wrinkle to its rush program. We have begun playing football every Friday evening in the field house at Va .

Tech. We invite as many rushees as possible and play from about 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and then we head back to the house. Turnouts have been great so far and everyone enjoys themselves.

Delta Alpha is looking forward to a great year and the strengthening of our membership, brotherhood, and our status on campus.

Several weeks ago there was a terrible flood near hear in Toccoa, Georgia. The members of Pi Kappa Phi, along with a few volunteers and a lot of help from Phi Mu Fraternity, collected food and clothing for all these people in Toccoa.

We have been very busy this quarter as you can see and even our Red Dog Saloon at Gold

PAGE 9 Rush did very well this year. Thanks to all our outside help.

Initiations were held this quarter for two new brothers. Our brotherhood is looking for路 ward to next quarter and our annual run for the Georgia Heart Association.

And don't forget that Rose Ball is coming up, so start planning.

DELTA DELTA Northeast Missouri State Our fall semester has gone very well up to this point. Our Homecoming celebration was enjoyed by all and we also had one of three first place floats in the Homecoming parade.

We had a visit the 22nd and 23rd of October from the Ames, Iowa Chapter, who were on their pledge skip. We tried our best to show them our great Missourian hospitality.

Our volleyball team made it to the finals in intramural competition and now we are participating in waterpolo competition.

We're always looking forward to seeing the brot'1ers whenever they can drop by the house.

DELTA EPSILON Jacksonville State University Rush this fall yeilded twenty-three excellent pledges. We were very proud when our chapter advisor, Clyde J . McSpadden, was appointed Area Governor for Area XX II . This year we had to replace both our television set and our chapter sign which was stolen last spring. Also last spring we won the All-Sprats Trophy for the second consecutive year. Recently we went to Troy State for a football game and we would like to recognize our chapter at Troy State, Gamma Gamma, for the warm brotherhood they demonstrated toward us.

DELTA ZETA Appalachian State University On the eve of our fifth anniversary Delta Zeta has strengthened its position on the A.S. U. campus as being one of the best fraternities, by having the most successful rush we or any of the other fraternities have ever had at Appalachian. We initiated sixteen associate members and two alumni this past December 9 .

At the first rush party of the year we had over 100 prospective pledges to give us their names .

Some of the highlights for Delta Zeta occured when past National Rose Queen Kathy Fleming representing A.S.U. was crowned Miss North Carolina. Other activities include the collecting of food and money for needy families of Boone, and the staffing of the first Grandfather Mountain Music Festival. We are also proud that Brother Mark Christopher was elected president of the I FC at Appalachian .

With strong backing from our alumni, we are moving closer to finding a "home" as plans include the buying of property in Boone as an investment for future development.

DELTA ETA Morehead State University The Brothers 'of Delta Ela Chapter have seen the passing of another school term. This semester has not been particularly eventful one.

Brother Robert M. Wells, one of our Chapter Advisors, received the Kellogg's Collegiate Women's Basketball Coach of the Year Award for Kentucky. Also, Jim Wells. Area Councelor XXIII, another advisor, has been appointed Men's Sports Information Director at Morehead State University.

At the present time our chapter is exerting a great deal of effort to improve alumni relations.

The chapter sponsored a chapter conclave this past summer to which all alumni were encouraged to attend, and the turnout was quite good.

Also, we are updating our mailing files and sending more communications about personal happenings out to our alumni to keep them as close as possible with the chapter.

The Brothers were proud to complete the move to our new house , which is larger, better located and is a big improvement over our previous house. We are also proud to welcome to our ranks our three newly initiated Brothers.

DELTA THETA Mars Hill College First semester was a very active one for Delta Theta Chapter this year . The most inspiring event of the semester was homecoming, when Delta Theta had more alumni brothers and little sisters return than ever before. This brought somewhat of a lift to the active brothers as they got to meet and mingle with some of the original Delta Theta brothers, among others.

Another special event of the chapter was the initiation of six new brothers into the chapter who have already proved to be assets to the chapter. The chapter was very pleased to have alumni brothers Greg Clark, Doug Hill, Dennis Hyatt, and field secretary Tom Tott participate in this event.

In the area of service, Delta Theta continued to support Jerry Stevens, a handicapped teen ager from Morganton, this semester and we also worked with the Bloodmobile to collect over 100 pints of blood for the red cross. In upcom ing service will be the sponsoring of a Valentine dance for the entire school.

Our chapter was recently saddened by the death of Brother Greg Goodwin, who died December 4 from injuries received in an automobile accident. We hope that you, our alumni, will remember the Goodwin family in your prayers as they face this sorrow.

DELTA KAPPA Pembroke State University Delta Kappa Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is now approaching 5 years as a chapter. The brothers believe that our chapter is on a solid foundation.

Upon the start of this fall semester, the brot hers found themselves driven by a new sense of enthusiasm and optimism.

The chapter is proud to announce that its membership has risen over 50% this semester.

As usual, this semester found various brothers actively involved in campus activities.

Brother Mike Mciver is a senator in the Student Government Association. Brother Hayden Shackelford is President of the local I FC. Brother Greg Tedder and Randy Coppedge as well as Hayden Shackelford have represented our chapter in varsity athletics. Brother Fred Wilkinson was selected to Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities as well as selection as a charter member in Pi Sigma Alpha, a national honor fraternity for political science students. Various other facultystudent committees are staffed by Delta Kapps brothers.

Finally, we would like to thank our alumni brothers, especially Mike Calk, for their active participation this semester. Without you guys we would not be enjoying such success.

It is our desire tl)at as a student chapter we can continue to make improvements and continue to keep our present status.

DELTA LAMBDA University of North Carolina As the fall term draws to a close, we here at UNCC can look back on a full and eventful semester. Our Fall Rush program has broupht tpirteen new initiates into our chapter thus increasing our ranks to forty-eight brothers.

Delta Lambda is currently ranked first' in intramural sports . . . 250 points ahead of the nearest competition. We had a good two-day retreat which brought brothers and pledges closer together in the bonds of fraternity. The highlight of the retreat was the annual Football Toilet Bowl in which the brothers, once again, beat the pledges 20-7. We had the privilege of having the Executive Director, Durward Owen, speak at our Founder's Day Celebration . This year's recepient of the Charles N. Gulledge Memorial Football Award was Terry Reed.

Bruce Emmons won the Scholarship Award with a perfect 4.0 average.

DELTA NU Western Kentucky University The coveted scholarship trophy for the high est grade point average in the spring of '77 went to the Delta Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. The grades of the brothers and associate mem bers combined to beat the average of fifteen other fraternities on campus. A plaque for the highest grade point average for brothers only was also received. This is the second consecu tive semester for this award.

This past May the chapter acquired a 路 new home. The house is close to the campus and is helping our rush program. Much appreciation goes to every member because now their dream and goals they strived for are fulfilled. Every member from the start has worked odd jobs trying to raise money for the house. The house was not in perfect condition when it was acquired in May and the active brothers and a few alumni have worked this summer and fall to improve it.

Since the beginning of Kappa Phi colony at Western Kentucky University (April, 1972), through its chartering as Delta Nu in April of '74, and the present day a certain man has been very in its continuation and growth. He has been chapter advisor for the past five years and has given more time and love to this chapter that can be expected of a common man.

This fall, in pursuit of his own life's goals outside of the chapter, he took a job with the state government. We were pleased when he announced he would travel back to his real home and 'brothers' everyweekend and give what assistance he can in the short hours of the weekend. In appreciation for all his work the National Council sent Charter Member, Larry L. Davis a Certificate of Appreciation. This is a small but valued token for a man who had done and given so much .

Another very active alumnus is Thomas Sabetta. Tom has been by many times since he graduated and has given what assistance he could when possible. In keeping involved with Pi Kappa Phi, he applied for the position of Area Governor and was appointed Area Governor is area 24.

appreciation for our having been awarded the title of Master Chapter. We will strive to maintain enthusiasm and initiative of this past semester in the future and we will be most grateful for any support we may receive in our efforts to improve ourselves.

DELTA PI Wright State University The Delta Pi Chapter has been rapidly growing since our chartering on July 27, 1975, and is currently the largest fraternity on campus.

During July we started our version of a "Superstars" contest for athletic recreation.

Awards were given for winners of ten selected sporting events.

Delta Pi participated in the building of a float for the Holiday at Home Parade. This parade is held annually for the citizens of the Dayton Met~opolitan area. Our efforts won the "Princess Award".

In September we sponsored an all-campus dance with a rock group as a means of increasing our financial status. It was the most successful dance ever held at Wright State.

DELTA RHO University of Southern Calif.

The brothers of Delta Rho having finished up a successful Fall pledge program, have been engaged in many interesting activities.

Our pledges completed their project of remodeling our dining room in time for a great Founder's Day celebration on December 10.

Our new officers led a retreat at one of our Brother's ranch. The retreat helped our future goals, as well as instill a greater feeling of unity among the Brothers.

Our new Vice Archon has stressed continous rush and we already forsee a very good pledge class in the Spring.

DELTA TAU James Madison University The fall semester this year was our first full semester on campus since chartering. During this time we met our goals of increased membership, increased financial stability, campus recognition, and meeting the requirements for university next fall.

Rush for Pi Kappa Phi at James Madison University was a great success. Through the I FC we were able to convince the other fraternities on campus to adopt a rush program that was more open. All fraternities benefited and had a good rush, with the Delta Tau Chapter having the second largest pledge class on campus.

The air at Madison is filled with construction dust as progress continues on the University housing being built for the Greeks on campus.

Vacancies in the housing will be filled with a competitive basis with the criteria being sufficient membership to fill the house, financial stability, scholastic excellence, and service to the community and the student body.

Although our chapter does not have a house, we have formed a housing corporation in anticipation of next semester. Among the fund raising projects we have engaged in is the selling of programs at the home basketball and football games.

In service, several brothers donate blood on a regular basis at the local hospital. In addition, we raffled off a semester's tuition.

Scholastically, we are leading all men's fraternities on campus.

Among the student body Pi Kappa Phi's presence is being felt. In basketball intramurals we had a winning season and made the playoffs.

Homecoming was another success with a float that reflected the creativity in our chapter.

As we enter the spring semester we are anticipating another successful rush and all our effort to meet the criteria for the university housing.

With an extremely experienced Executive Council for next semester we fully expect to meet the standards we have imposed on ourselves to be a strong chapter of Pi Kappa Phi.

KAPPA PHI Kansas State University Fall 1977 has been a busy semester for the Kansas State Associate Chapter. The semester began early for many men in the Associate Chapter who came to school early to begin work on the newly acquired chapter house. The home of several fraternities over the years, the house had in recent years been used as apart-

ments. Much work was needed to bring it up to acceptable standards, but the house now stands as the center of Pi Kappa Phi activities at Kansas State. It has been a valuable asset in the organization of the colony and its preparation for chartering.

Community service projects have been an important part of our activities this semester.

Several projects were undertaken the first of which being participation in Environmental Awareness Week sponosred by the Kansas State Student Governing Association. Among other activities, a tree was donated to the cam pus, and several Pi Kapps participated in a treeplanting ceremony.

Pi Kapps "trick-or-treated" for U.N.I.C.E.F. the week before Halloween. A large area of town was covered by the group to raise money for this worthy cause.

The men also participated in an all-campus blood drive. Pi Kappa Phi, in fact, was the third largest relative contributor on campus, with 97 percent of the members participating. ' The largest project of the semester was the "Aggieville Merchants Support the Band" day .

Designed and implemented by Pi Kappa Phi, the project was undertaken to raise money to buy new uniforms for the Kansas State March ing Band. Preparation for the event included talking with nearly 90 Aggieville merchants (Aggieville is a six-block area containing a vari ety of shops) ask them to donate a dollaramount or a percentage of their sales to the band. Advertising was arranged through the local and campus newspapers and radio stations.

The result of the nearly four weeks of work on the project was a $560 donation to the March ing Band.

With the semester coming to a close, the men of the associate chapter are beginning to organize for next semester's activities. Preparations are being made for an outs anding semester of community service, intramural and social activity, academic improvement and the goal of a charter from the Nation al Fraternity.

KAPPA PHI University of AL - Birmingham The Kappa Phi Associate Chapter at the Uni versity of Alabama in Birmingham proudly wishes to inform you of our progress and future plans.

We have been officially recognized on cam pus and received much help and encouragement from the Greek Council.

Our chapter was represented in majority last month at the University of Alabama in Birmingham Police Flea Market for charity and Red Cross Blood Drive held on campus.

Earlier this month we had an informal party at one of the brother's residence for the purpose of fellowship and to discuss ideas for future activities. In this it was a success.

Lastly, but not least in importance, we have designed a recruitment program for the winter quarter that we are very optimistic about.

Our enthusiasm is high and we feel that in subsequent reports each will be better than the last.

KAPPA PHI University of Pittsburgh We at Pittsburgh are very excited at the prospect of our upcoming chartering. Two of our brothers are members of the S. G. B. We are looking forward to attending the area conclave at Drexel. We are moving towards establishing relations with other chapters. Brother Gary Ludin finished 2nd in the all campus master mind tournament. We would like to say hello to our old chapter advisor Tom Hartwell now hard at work in Evansville.

ALPHA RHO West Virginia University Greetings from Alpha Rhol Our first full semester at West Virginia University is now behind us. The associate chapter has been steadily growing since our reforming in the spring of '77.

The active membership in the fraternity is now 21 and this semester we plan to add at least 10 new members.

This semester our main goals are new mem bership and then get chartered along with seeking new members, we plan to rent a house for a central gathering place for the brothers.

The brotherhood would like to thank all of the alumni in the area for the help they have given us in our early days. We know that they will keep on supporting us and we thank them.

DELTA OMICRON Nicholls State University This has been a most productive semester for Delta Omicron. We were pleased to serve as hosts for Supreme Chapter held in New Orleans.

With this event behind us, we began the semester here at NSU with an enthusiastic rush program which paid off quite well. Twelve of these pledges will soon be undergoing initiation into the active chapter.

Also of great importance to us here at Delta Omicron was the creation of our Alumni Asssociation. Under the direction of Karl Hebert and Kirk Defelice, the alumni association was created at the beginning of this semester with the primary aim of supporting our chapter. We at Delta Omicron are certainly looking forward to their help in bettering our chapter in the future.

In closing, we would like to express our deep

Members of Kansas State University Associate Chapter pose with Executive Director Owen during his January visit.

Upon request by the Pi Kappa Phi Scholarship Foundation, former member Jerry T. Hodge, Kappa 206, was expelled by the National Council at its November meeting.

Mr. Hodge was two years delinquent in the repayment of his loan to the Foundation, and not only refused to make payments, but to even acknowledge indebtedness.

Funds for National Project secured in many ways A brief survey of chapters raising funds for the Pi Kappa Phi National Project, indicated a great variety in methods used to raise funds. Most frequently used was direct solicitation from individual and local civic clubs, especially at luncheon meetings. Street corner solicitation paid off well for many.

Of course, some tried a car wash as well as bake sales from goodies produced by mothers and little sisters.

A local radio station assisted one chapter in a benefit basketball game while another rented their members to the college for needed camp~s labor.

Some chapter members became parking attendants at several sporting events as one chapter's members ushered at a concert. Bike marathons, dance marathons, and bed rolling marathons provided exercise

collected, as well as the names and addresses of non responding alumni have been forwarded to the Bernard C. Harris Publishing Company of White Planes, NY.

and funds for several.

One chapter passed the hat at a basketball game. Another sold roses on a street comer. (Selling roses on Valentines Day is to be remembered for all chapters as one great day of sharing in this national effort.) One chapter sold news.papers and ask for a donation along with the paper purchase.

The company will be calling all alumni to verify information recorded, and to obtain new material. In addition the publisher is authorized by the Pi Kappa Phi National Council to invite alumni to place an order to purchase, as well as seek alumni interest in placing advertising in the directory. In this way the cost of the directory is self-liquidating.

Hard to believe but a chapter gave up an evening meal and donated the cost savings. Several chapters added to the money raised by a contribution from their operating budget.

Gifts from parents were solicited by one chapter. These and other unnamed vehicles were used by 51 chapters. Perhaps next year all 86 chapters will have participated.

The updating and improving of Administrative Office records has been significant. In addition, alumni will have access to a new and more complete directory of membership, both hard bound and soft bound copies being available.

Directory telephone calls are next step For the last several months, members of Pi Kappa Phi have been requested to complete questionnaire cards. Thousands have respon(ied 'and even now, cards continue to flow into the Administrative Office.

It stands for more enduring principles than destruction. Our Fraternity is not yet three generations old. Will it last to the third or thirty third generation? It will only on the commitment to the excellence carried by the present members. The Fraternity and its principles of Love, Charity, Work, and Obedience, survive only from one generation to the next. My commitment is to have my son carry on the work of Pi Kappa Phi into the 21st century.
