AN EDUCATIONAL PUBLICATION

WINTER 1979

Ll~rOtherhood 75TH ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION AUGUST 19-23, 1979, CHARLESTON, S.C.

THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME E>C PERIENCE FOR PI KAPPA PHI , BOTH FOR ALUMNI AND ST UDENT MEMBERS. CAREFULLY REVIEW THE ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THI S EV ENT. THEN MAKE PLANS TO JOIN MANY OTHER PI KAPPS IN CHARLESTON

Unless you are in Charleston you would never really know - !

75 years of Brotherhood has produced the Pi Kappa Phi Project, PUSH. Tom Sayre, designer and developer, will be there to show you how your money is providing a significant achievement in the world of severely handicapped people. . . . You will meet the person initiated as a member the longest, and learn that he is not from Alpha Chapter. . .. You can learn how your fraternity has developed the most significant alumni program in existance among fraternities. It is our Pi Kappa Phi Continuing Alumni Relations, Inc. (CAR) .. . . All of the rules and regulations, fees, ritual, officials,

names, titles, events, etc. which constitutes Pi Kappa Phi are in the hands of the Supreme Chapter.

Only your delegates to the Supreme Chapter can change, add, delete, or alter. If you aren't here you really cannot complain, can you? ... All alumni designated as Mr. Pi Kappa Phi will be honored during the Founders Breakfast on Tuesday morning. This event, attended by all alumni is always a highlight of all Supreme Chapters. . . . The Francis Marion was the location for the 25th Anniversary and the 50th Anniversary. In other words, it is old. Some have described it as being "early archaic " . . . . Others would say older. Please expect an old,

ancient, and definitely not modern hotel. Charleston is a great place to visit. It is singularly unique. If you do not believe this, ask a Charlestonian. He will also tell you that "Charleston is where the Cooper and Ashley rivers join together to form the Atlantic Ocean" among other similar words of wisdom. However, it is also where the flower ladies will give you 13 flowers and charge you for 12. She calls this a "little broadus" 路路- something extra. And indeed Charleston is "something extra".

But you will not know this unless you are there - for the 75th Year of Brotherhood, Pi Kappa Phi.

The restored Garden Theater will be the ~ site of original meeting and ritual of initiation re-enactment Dinner and Dance on flight deck of the carrier Yorktown to honor all Pi Kappa Phi veterans 75 years of Brotherhood has coexisted with many instances of patriotic effort by members. Large numbers of Pi Kapps have served their country in many ways. Certainly our Pi Kapp veterans and not so veterans were able, under diverse circumstances, to enjoy life. They would find favor with a true Charleston Low Country dinner served on the flight deck on one of our nation's fighting vessels. Fol-

lowing fabulous foods there will be music for dancing and listening, with a band at each end of the ship - one with traditional dance music and the other with fast and hot contemporary styles.

75 years of Brotherhood all started with a meeting on December 10, 1904. The content of that meeting, in brief form, is contained in minutes of that event. Much of the actual event is subjective, however, native' : Charlestoni~s haven't changed completely; so, they will reconstruct, to the best of their native ability, this historical event on August 21st at the Garden

10,000 meter Founder's Race is to hon路or our commitment to personal and fraternity health 75 years of Brotherhood will come to life as the modem thinking and acting Pi Kappa Phi enters this first, but not to be the last, running experience. As contemporary Pi Kapps improve their physical (and mental) being, through good health habits as running, the Fraternity will recognize and encourage such. At this Anniversary time the Founders would certainly find favor with this activity. To put our words into action at 7:30 a.m. on Monday, August 20, those members (and women) present can participate in a 10,000 meter race (6.2 miles).

There is no entry fee and registration will be accomplished at the registration desk. Handsome trophies will be awarded. Now is the time to commence training. Everyone will be a winner, as is the case in all long distance finishes.

Theatre. Then, using documents in the Archives of the Administrative Office, the students and alumni of Alpha Chapter will conduct a Ritual of Initiation as it was first done in the beginning days of Pi Kappa Phi. No one is a Pi Kappa Phi until he has been initiated under the Ritual of Initiation - therefore, this will be a highly emotional moment. This will make you feel really good.

SEVENTY FIVE BEAUTIFUL RED ROSE PLANTS WILL BE PRESENTED COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON

7 5 years of Brotherhood was given Pi Kappa Phi by the College. In 1929 the Fraternity presented the College a Memorial Gateway in appreciation .

In 1954 a clock was installed in appreciation. Now both of these can be viewed as you walk the beautiful campus of the College of Charleston.

This 75th year will again find the Fraternity expressing its appreciation. A rose garden is being prepared for 75 red rose bushes. Perpetual care is 路 arranged. You will be there at this moment of dedication when the official presentation is made to officials of the College. Thereafter, one visiting the campus will always be reminded of the 75th Anniversary of Pi Kappa Phi by this event scheduled at 8:00 p.m . on August 20, 1979.

Committees Fifth Supreme Chapter Concluding Luncheon National Council Meeting

Students, Advisors, Area Governors, interested Pi Kapps, et al., can learn 7 5 years of Brotherhood has taught us that few are capable of growth and prospering without some reliance on others. Especially is this true for our chapter self-improvement.

One half day on Saturday, August 18 and all day Sunday, August 19 will be spent on individual and chapter improvement. Especially there will be instructional and learning sessions regarding recruitment (rush), moti-

vation and management. Expert 路 facilitators will be there on those days for your benefit and use. The entire effort will be designed for your growth-you and your chapter.

This you cannot afford to miss. It would be like missing Pi Kapp College, or worse. All Pi Kapps are eligible to attend, however, student delegates and alternates must be there.

ALPHA College of Charleston

IOTA Georgia Institute of Technology

Alpha returned to school this fall with 62 brothers . We have pledged 19 men to date and plan to initiate them in January.

We enjoyed a large turnout of parents and alumni at our annual Founder's Day Banquet at which we had cocktails and a sit-down dinner for 175 people. Brother Glenn McConnell, Chapter Advisor, was the featured speaker.

There has been a great deal of activity in Charleston as we make preparations to host the 37th Supreme Chapter, August 19-23, celebrating 75 years of brotherhood .

The student members and the alumni are presently involved in a major thrust as we attempt massive renovations of the chapter house. These renovations, the first in many years, are being made possible by the outstanding efforts of alumni brothers, Jim Neely, Bob Marlowe, Glenn McConnell, David Jaffee, Harry Freeman, Julius Burgess, and other contributors. These repairs are slated to be completed early in August.

Iota Chapter began the new school year by holding a very successful rush . In preparation the brotherhood renovated the dining room and rebuilt the upstairs hall . A pair of speakers were also constructed to augment our powerful sound system . Our rush effort resulted in 19 pledges .

The brotherhood was active in its support for the national project. One endeavor was th e sale of T -shirts which netted over $500 . We also have plans 'tor a road-rally and a filf'l1 festival to raise additional funds .

Iota and Beta Kappa Chapters are hosting a winter conclave . The events will be held on the weekend of February 23-24.

BETA Presbyterian Beta chapter started off the new school year with a strong determination and the desire to rebuild , our chapter. The chapter set new goals for itself and has met many of these goals. The first goal that was set was to get a minimum of ten pledges . On pledge day, ten pledges walked through our doors.

With the help of the new pledges, the brothers were able to make improvements on the inside of our house. In our alumni roam, new "paneling and carpet have been added . The carpet was donated to us by Brother Richard Norris of Greenville, SC. A color television set was donated to us by Mr. D. A. Forrest, Sr., father of Brother Andy Forrest.

Seventeen alumni brothers returned to visit us during P.C.'s Homecoming Weekend . While they were here, they formed an alumni association which they called the Beta of Pi Kappa Phi Alumni Association. Alumni Brother lrby S. Hipp, Ill of Rock Hill, SC became the associ ations President and Dan L. Kamp of Raleigh, NC is the Vice President . The major objective is to raise money to build a deck for the chapter house . Another objective is to help bring the alumni closer together and to help them to once again become a contributing factor to their chapter.

Beta Chapter initiated four new members on December 7, 1978. They were Andy Forrest, Russell Hucks, Hank Mason and David Torrey .

Beta Chapter would like to congratulate Brother Rhea Faris for getting All-District and A ll-Conference footba ll honors.

GAMMA Univ. of California - Berkeley A very successful summer rush, providing a basis for a strong fall rush, proved to be a good start for Gamma. The pledging of 36 new Associate Members more than filled the fifty-six man house capacity, making Pi Kappa Phi the largest fraternity on campus. Despite the success during rush, rushing will continue throughout the year, and it is hoped that an additional goal of 15 new members will be achieved . The new Associate Member program has encouraged Associate Members to become a working part of the chapter, and take an active role in house government.

Gamma has been busy working hard on a number of projects. The house is looking better than ever, with the exterior having been painted while new furniture has been added to the interior. Gamma is also busy working with the new colony nearby at Sacramento State University; Gamma looks foryvard to someday having Pi Kapp neighbors.

KAPPA University of North Carolina When the fall semester started in the late days of August, all of the brothers at Pi Kappa Phi were excited about the year. Brothers Bob Singletary and Steve Stephenson had kept the house physically and financially in shape during the summer months. Each brother was excited about meeting the challenge of keeping Pi Kappa Phi Number One on campus.

The fraternity's main concern was rush.

From the first week impressive young men were visiting our house, getting to know the brothers and joining us in our activities. Brothers consistently invited them to football games, dinners, and cookouts . By the time formal rush began in early October, the fraternity had pledged many outstanding men. They were followed by those pl.edged during formal rush, this rounded out the fall pledge class, one of the closest knit groups in quite awhile . Pledge education went well and all the pledges were initiated on November 30, 1978, just in time for the annual Kappa Council meeting held on December 2, 1978.

As in the past, the brothers of Pi Kappa Phi were involved in a wide variety of re~ponsi足 bilities in campus functions . They included: David McNeil - sports writer for campus newspaper "The Daily Tar Heel"; Stuart Jones President of governing council of Granville Towers, large off campus housing; Rusty Schroeder - Publicity committee chairman, Carolina Union Activities Board and Member of the Attorney General Staff; Robert Mann Member of the Undergraduate Honor Court; Robert Singletary - Member of the Undergraduate Honor Court and Secretary of the Interfraternity Council; Jack Mahler - editor of dorm newspaper (Avery Advocate); Gary Parr - President of the Undergraduate Business students committee and member on the committee in search of a dean for the Business school; and Varsity Athletes included Kevin Caddell - Baseball; Tom Killian - Fencing; and Phil Bland- Golf.

Many of the December graduates have already taken jobs with very reputab le companies: Benjamin Guion -Peat, Marwick, Mitchell Charlotte; Richard Moore - A. M. Pul len Charlotte; and James Hunt- Arthur Anderson & Company - Charlotte.

Three brothers were wed : Charles Melvin, Tracy Lee and Tony McCollum. Three brothers announced engagements : James Hunt, Haines Maxwell and Gary Parr.

Three brothers are currently enrolled in the Law school at Carolina. They are Jack Bayliss, Ed Nanney and David Allen. There are also three brothers currently enrolled in the MBA program at Carolina. They are Robert Stamper, Eric Schlotterbeck and Tripp Winn. In addition, Paul Taylor is enrolled at Catholic University in Washington , Alan Maness is at Yale Law School, and it was recently learned that former brother Tal Lassiter was president of his class at Harvard Medical School.

For the unprecedented fifth year in a row, Pi Kappa Phi won the fraternity division in Intramural football. Pi Kappa Phi is also in a hotly contended race for the intrafraternity division intramural crown.

The brothers have also shown a diversity in all interests. Many of the brothers have been involved in a house Bible study . The fraternity also organized an outreach program to underprivileged kids in a Chapel Hill neighborhood .

Twice monthly the 30-40 kids spend time at the fraternity house in activities with the brothers. Activities have ranged from games, a Halloween party, a trip to Carowinds amusement park, to a Thanksgiving dinner and tutorial help. This has been a successful venture and Pi Kappa . Phi has received a pledge of support from tw!} of the sororities at Carolina.

This coming semester it plans to continue its outreach activities with the kids and also plans to help the national fraternity in its PUSH Program.

In relation to the graduated alumni, the active chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has started a special Alumni Relations committee to strength en the relations with our great alumni . Under the direction of brother Mike Collins, Pi Kappa Phi has sent letters to all the known alumni in the area notifying them of special Open House Activities following football games, Parent's Weekend, Homecoming, and our fall pledge formal. This program will continue into the Spring . This program has been very successful as shown by our overwhelming number of visits from the Alumni. Mike Collins should be highly commended for his work I As the semester draws to a close, Rush activities are already off the ground for the Spring Rush . The brotherhood expects to have a big jump on the Spring Rush, setting as its goals a pledge class that is at least the same si ze pledge class as the fall even though Spring Rush is traditionally slower than the Fall Rush.

During the semi-annual meeting with the alumni kappa Council, we dedicated a bookcase to brothers John Coffey and Charles Hazelhurst.

These two men have shown outstanding time, love and support for Pi Kappa Phi. The bookcase contains trophies of the active chapter . In addition copies dating back as far as 1913 of the UNC Yearbook YACKETY Y ACK are included in the case .

LAMBDA University of Georgia Fall quarter of 1978 was very kind to the Lambda Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi . One of the highlights of the quarter was our parents and alumni banquet where we honored those alumni whose continuous support is so greatly appreciated . The banquet was a tremendous success with a turnout of parents and alumni beyond any of our expectations.

In intramurals our first place finish in ping-pong and second place finishes in volleyvall and tennis have placed u~ in a position to once again be in contention for the overall intramural trophy. Our philanthropy project for the quarter was a rock-a-thon in which one of our brothers rocked in a chair for fiftyfour hours raising money for the March of Dimes. Also during the quarter we initiated seven pledges who we feel are going to be great assets to us in our continuing growth on campus. We ended the quarter with the election of a new slate of officers and with an anticipation of winter and spring quarters as successful as our fall quarter.

OMICRON University of Alabama Once again Omicron Chapter has had a successful semester this Fall. Beginning the semester by initiating four new brothers, thirty -three prospective initiates were pledged for what has thus far been a productive year.

Pi Kappa Phi was once again well represented in sports as Omicron finished among the top three in all sports among large fraternities .

Volleyball played a major part of the sports program as we defeated Greeks as well as Independents to capture the campus championship. And in the Christmas basketball tournament at the University, our A -team placed second for the campus .

But while efforts were concentrated on the sports program, scholarship also played a major part of the chapter as members combined to finish second among the twenty-three major fraternities on campus . Three of Omicrons brothers were also chosen into Phi Beta Kappa and one was chosen early decision for medical school.

Homecoming was another outstanding event as we edged out the other fraternities in a close competition to capture first place in the yard decorations . Also, this year, the little sister program has been very active again . Little sister rush was held this year and thirty new little sisters were chosen out of the seventy who went out for rush, giving us a total of sixty little sisters .

New officers were recently elected and are presently taking the initiative to work on th e Pi Kappa Phi National Project . Brother Tom Sayre, who designed and built the project, came to Omicron to di scuss the project as well as consult with University officials . Presently, Omicron is working with the University to get the National Project for Bryce-Partlow in Tuscaloosa. This is the largest institution for the handicapped in the area and the securing of the project would indeed be a great benefit to the many deserving handicapped.

One of our prouder moments this semester came as many of our alumni returned for homecoming this year. It was our pleasure to dedicate, in a special ceremony, the chapter room to a distinguished initiate, Emmett Dendy, who for many years served Omicron as Chapter Advisor .

He was present to receive the dedication.

As a final note to the semester, we are presently working to establish a chapter at the University of Mississippi and are making plans for the Area Conclave for areas XX II and XV to be held at Omicron . And once again, Omicron has upheld its tradition of having the best parties on the campus.

SIGMA University of South Carolina The fall of 1978 saw Sigma Chapter continue its service to both the University and the surrounding community . Along with a fall pledge class of twenty-one outstanding young men, Sigma was recognized for academic excellence, as we placed second in a fie ld of 14 fraternities .

Service projects were highlighted by such events as "Cockfest 78" and a "Turkey Shoot", to benefit our National Project, PUSH. "Cockfest" , a giant homecoming game pep rally sponsored by Sigma, drew a record crowd of 7,000 students. Social events included our annual Alumni-Undergraduate Reception, and Founders' Day activities .

Thanks to increasing support from our alumni, Sigma was able to extend more services to its members and extensively renovate its facilities. In closing, Sigma Chapter wishes to thank once again our alumni and friends for their continuing support, making possible even greater achievements in the future.

TAU North Carolina State University Tau Chapter of Pi Kappa Ph ( has been involved in efforts to renovate and further enhance

the appearance of our house. Recently, the house has been given a new ceiling, and the downstairs recarpeted. Plans are underway for new furniture downstairs, and further facelifting in our bar.

Pi Kappa Phi captured second place last year in the Annual Intra-Fraternity Food Drive. Tau Chapter is out to be "Number One" in the project this year. The project involves collecting and distributing food to needy families in the Raleigh area.

Tau Chapter will have its Rose Ball on February 10, 1979. All alumni should make plans now for this wonderful event. Archie and Mama are fine! They say hello to you all.

Award-winning Upsilon football team shown here in action at the University of Illinois.

UPSILON University of lllinois With the 1978 fall semester at the University of Illinois coming to a close, Upsilon has had yet another successful semester to reminisce upon for years to come.

In spite of the excessive competition involved with fifty-two fraternities and numerous dormitory teams, Upsilon has again fa ired rather well in the area of intramural sports. Led by coach Dale Block and outstanding players Mike Green, Paul Kuhn, and Steve Trahey the Pi Kapp soccer team made its presence known by reaching the playoffs and asserting itself as one of the better teams on campus. Also, in keeping with past tradition, Upsilon again made a fine showing in softball by taking third place in an all campus fall softball tournament.

Perfect weather greeted Pi Kappa Phi alumni and their families as they joined us for the annual Homecoming festivities, November 4 -5.

Upsilon was proud to have, amongst others, distinguished alumni George Dowd ('47) and Milton Diedrick ('58) present.

Following a brunch at the chapter house Saturday morning, everyone attended the disappointing Illinois loss to Michigan State's powerful football team. After the game the annual alumni meeting was held, which preceded an informal social hour. After a delicious dinner, all were entertained by a singing-dancing group, "The Girls Next Door" and a rerun of the classic sla'p stick movie, "I am Curious Pi Kapp."

On Sunday the traditional Alum-Active football game was played . The alumni held back a late comeback by the active brothers in a 19-12 decisive win. The student chapter sincerely thanks the alumni for their continued advice and support and we hope to see everyone back for Homecoming '79 .

Much of Upsilon's well-being this semester can also be attributed to its fine pledge class.

In addition to storming Alpha Phi Chapter at Indiana University on walkout, the pledges also did a fine job of refinishing the living room ceiling as their pledge class project. This project greatly improved the appearance of our house and the pledges should be commended for a fine effort. Ultimately, initiation was held November 18 when five new men were welcomed into the brotherhood .

PSI Cornell University Psi Chapter began the 1978-79 school year with 28 active brothers--a 100% increase over last year's membership . The beautiful Ithaca autumn was taken advantage of as the exterior of the chapter house was completely repainted and the roof resealed by the brothers. Additional painting was done inside the house and several more maintenance jobs are being planned by the House Improvements Committee .

With the membership expanding rapidly, Psi Chapter has become more prominent among Cornell University's forty-eight active fraternities . Six brothers are on the Cornell wrestling team, including team captain and All-Ivy candidate Tim Harrison '80. Psi Chapter has also amassed a winning percentage in every intramural sport it has entered this semester (football, soccer, basketball, and polo). Academics, however, have not taken a back seat to the increased extracurricu lar activities .

An aggregate grade point average of 3.1 has been achieved by the brothers.

The brotherhood is also active in com-

munity affairs. Several of the brothers are involved in raising money for the Tompkins County Learning Disabilities Association as well as working with the Greater Ithaca Activities Center and the Ithaca Youth Bureau.

Psi Chapter is building a solid base for future development as it increases its involvement in various activities. With a renewed vigor and growing membership, the future looks bright for Pi Kappa Phi at Cornell.

OMEGA Purdue University Greetings, Brothers, from West Lafayette!

The fall semester of 1978 ended in a successful note with everyone passing their finals and an overall improvement of grades. Twenty children who might have had an unhappy Yuletide season were smiling ear-to-ear at the annual .¡• underpriviledged children's Christmas party December 10. Santa stopped by for the afternoon bringing with him lots of presents. Afterwards, a gift exchange held among the brothers provided a relaxing atmosphere before finals leaving the cheer of the season in everyone's hearts.

Growth of the chapter has been apparent within the last year. The spring pledge class consisted of eight fine men from start to finish.

They were initiated in the beginning of September. This fall's pledge class of eighteen is progressing strongly . Working well with their warden, very few mistakes have been made; many new and liked ideas such as a Sunday evening meal have been the results of the class working and getting along so well together.

The recent election of new officers was conducted last month. The new archon, senior Bill McNichols is looking forward to working with our new chapter advisor Bob Griffith, a great guy who everyone really likes. Mike Fersky, vice-archon, has formulated impressive plans for this spring's rush which will be held informally. The Interfraternity Council only runs formal rush in the fall of the year .

Dave Jarzombeck will continue as warden as will Bruce Wylam as treasurer. Jim Dinsmore, secretary, is another new member of Executive Council. Re-elected to historian was Lars Kneller and the new chaplain, Dan McHale, is breathing new li fe into an office that had been moving slowly the last semester. The workload of running the house is hardly noticed with everyone supporting their share.

Atheletics is thriving with the goal of participating in most intramurals set this fall.

The fast pitch softball team with much budding young talent ended their season with a 3-4 record. A few close matches and lots of fun gave the volleyball team a season record of 8-10 this fall. Every year towards the end of the semester the Brothers take on the men of Delta Sigma Phi in the annual "Weenie Bowl".

This year the team recaptured the impressive trophy by a devastating 6-0 vicotry . The structured practices was the key to the success.

Sports coordinator Tom Seal keeps the spirit of competition alive .

Homecoming, on November 4, was a highlight of Purdue's tremendous season. The Boilermakers were victorious over Northwestern 24-0. Alum'ni arrived from as far as Placentia, California to as close as Lafayette to help us cheer the team on. The day included a splendid brunch before the game and a dance with a live band that even ing. Everyone enjoys relating past and present experiences and the changes the house has gone through. So much is to be learned I The football pool raised an impressive amount of money for the National Project.

A traditional pie-eating contest was revived this year after being dormant for almost 13 years. Our pledges take on the pledges of Pi Kappa Alpha. The traveling \!:Ophy is a bronze pie plate which was originally bought when the contest started in 1935. The Pi Kapp pledges recaptured the plate by eating more quantity of pie than the Pike pledges. The annual Island Fling dance occurred September I. The block the house is located on is nicknamed "the island" as it mainly consists of fraternities.

Two other houses helped to sponsor an allcampus dance with two live bands. This gives all of the brothers a chance to converse with interested rush ees and get to know them a little better.

A new and more comprehensive scrapbook was created this fall while the old ones were cleaned up and now look as good as new.

Almost all of the carpet in the house has been cleaned giving the rooms and hallways a much neater appeara~'ce. The preceding, in combination with the new front yard done last spring by the spring pledges, makes the house look like new I Bernie, our mascot Saint Bernard will celebrate his 9th birthday and 7th year with the house this January. The critter doesn't show his age, though; he's as rowdy as a puppy still I The Interfraternity Council sponsored a "frat swap" recently . Three brothers of a house would spend three days at separate fraternities while three other Greek men would come

and live at our house. The brothers who parti cipated all enjoyed themselves while learning the differences and similarities among the different houses on campus. The new TV room was finished over the summer. While it was completely redone, the rustic image of the house was maintained making it fit in really nicely.

Finally , the corporation gave their annual steak dinner on November 18. This is an excellent opportunity for the brothers to meet and talk with the men who run and own the house. Everyone had a lot to talk about as dinner lasted over an houri In closing, the spring semester is rapidly arousing anticipation ..

Events such as Mothers' Weekend, University Sing, and Grand Prix are all coming soon.

Please feel free to drop in .... adios until next issue I

ALPHA GAMMA University of Oklahoma The brothers of Alpha Gamma returned enthusiastic from summer vacation and Pi Kapp College . During work week we repainted the chapter house's interior and the exterior trim. With the help of director of development, Stewart Hicks, in getting us rolling, Alpha Gamma has associated 21 men this fall. This is the largest associate class this chapter has had in many years. Due to this rush, Alpha Gamma has for the first time completely filled its chapter house.

This year's "Dad's Day" had 120 people attending. After a huge banquet, those present were entertained by a hypnotist. Many people embarrassed themselves.

Alpha Gamma's second annual Halloween Haunted House was a success, with proceeds going to UNICEF. Recently, we re-carpeted our upstairs and den. We owe many thanks to Vernon Stansell, a very special alumnus who obtained this fine carpet for us. With a low membership, the financial and spiritual support of our alumni has helped greatly this semester.

Alpha Gamma's new houseparents are Dave and Peggy Rittenhouse. Dave is a recent graduate of O.U. and Alpha Gamma alumnus, Peggy is a "Iii sis" .

University of Florida award-winning house decoration depicts a "gator" appropriately kicking the Army mule.

ALPHA EPSILON University of Florida Alpha Epsilon will be having a gala celebration February 24 to commemorate 55 years at the University of Florida. Included in the festivities are a cocktail party, guest speakers and an awards ceremony. We expect as many of the founders and old alumni to attend as possible.

The fall pledge class is very strong and unified and is currently working on their pledge project, which is putting in new front doors.

Also fall quarter saw renovations to the fraternity house. New floor tile and wall paneling highlighted the changes .

Alpha Epsilon is considered one of the top fraternities in intramurals. Recently we captured the football championship and placed second in volleyball. We are currently second in the race for the prestigous President's Cup. Brother Mark Timmes was elected to the high post of Interfraternity Council President.

The Council governs over the 30 fraternities on campus.

During homecoming PI KAPPS captured second place in house decorations and held a 50's style band party for brothers old and new.

ALPHA ZETA Oregon State University Alpha Zeta started out the 78-79 year on the right foot by pledging 18 men . These men have been working very hard together and showing this by building a homecoming sign and winning first place in the Memorial Union Halloween Decoration Contest. With these 18 men the house is filled to capacity of 46 and has 15 live-outs.

On November 17th, the chapter was honored by a surprise visit from Howard Davis, AZ 60, class of 31 . He was the man who wrote the checks that built our present home. Mr. Davis

is currently residing in the Virgin Islands as an official of the University of Saint Croix. He is also the president of the National College Bookstore of America.

Alpha Zeta is very proud to announce that our own brother, Robin Winston, will be joining the Administrative Office as a Field Secretary in December of 1980. Robin is a past Archon of the chapter, is a member of the Council of Archons, and is currently the Judicial Vice President of the Oregon State Interfraternity Council.

Have a good year, and hope to see "y'all" in Charleston this summer I

Af.,PHA ETA Samford University Alpha Eta Chapter has had an exciting and productive fall . Rush '78 culminated a summer of hard work and preparation as we led the other fraternities on campus in acquiring 23 outstanding pledges.

After winning the fraternity division of intramurals last year, Pi Kapps are once again leading Samford's fraternities and organizations in intramural points.

Alumni relations are at a high point for Alpha Eta Chapter. Our recent Founder's Day Banquet allowed the brothers to get to know or spend more time with various Alpha Eta Alumni.

These are just a few of the activities at Alpha Eta this year. The brothers here are Directing these activities towards maintaining our position as the top chapter on Samford's campus.

ALPHA THETA Michigan State University Having just completed one of the most successful quarters in Alpha Theta's history, the Pi Kapps at M.S.U. are stronger now than ever. Last summer's rush program really paid off this fall with Pi Kappa Phi having the largest pledge class at M.S .U. We pledged 15 men, and inititated 7 on November 19, and plan to have an even stronger pledge class this winter.

This fall we also acquired a new mascot, Kapp, a pure bred Dalmatian. Kapp has been learning new tricks as fast as the brothers can teach him. Without a doubt, Kapp is the smartest mascot Alpha Theta has ever had.

Our Homecoming dance on October 14 had one of the best Alumni turnouts in recent history. It was great seeing all the Alums and brothers enjoying themselves. Everyone was fired up after the Spartans crushed the Hoosiers 52-3.

We held our second annual Parents Day at the chapter house on November 4. We had a good turnout of parents, brothers, and little sisters . As was expected, Kapp was the main attraction . It was unfortooate that our new living room furniture didn't arrive in time for Parents Day. The Alpha .; rheta Building Corp. really outdid itself by investing over $7,000 in the new furniture . The brothers are really proud of the new living room.

Plans are underway for our fund raiser for the National Project. We intend to be the largest contributor to P.U.S.H., and challenge other chapters to try to beat us . Good Luck I

ALPHA IOTA Auburn University Coming off of a successful year, Alpha Iota is striving to improve in every category for this year. We started off on the right foot as many improvements were made to the house. Thanks to the help of Alpha Iota Housing Corp., the house exterior was vastly improved through the addition of some new gutters and the repair of existing eaves. Chapter Advisor; Jack Saint, provided his services in the addition of new vinyl tile in the chapter party room and hallways.

Alpha Iota began the year on a winning note in the area of athletics. The football team, participating in the Auburn University Intramural Program, carried an undefeated (5-0) record into a game against the defending campus champions. The team also met the defending champs in the play-offs after the regular season. Unfortunately, we lost and picked up second place for the second year in a row. The chapter volleyball team also had a good season missing the play-offs by only one game.

Our pledges eagerly participated in many campus events including intramural football and the "Wreck Tech" Parade. The pledges also held a couple of fund-raising projects to raise money for house improvements.

Alpha Iota had a successful homecoming event. A number of alumni enjoyed an excellent meal, good fellowship with the brothers, and a winning football game. However, the chapter would like to see and meet more alumni .

We will welcome all alumni at our functions.

Alpha Iota is now a member of the Conti -

PAGE 7 . nuing Alumni Relations Program. This is the first year we have participated in the C.A.R. Program. The Chapter looks forward to a successful relationship with our alumni in the future and expect this program to assist路 the chapter for years to come in the area of alumni relations.

Our chapter has always been blessed with a fine Little Sister Program. This fall continued this tradition as the chapter has had many social events and participated in many projects with our little. sisters. Alpha Iota looks forward to a promising year ahead.

ALPHA LAMBDA University of Mississippi February 7, 1979 marked an important date for us at 'Ole Miss. After much discussion and meeting, the Mississippi Alpha Lambda Associate Chapter was under way . Officers were elected and some committee chairman ships were decided. One could sense the excitement in the air as the 15 members discussed and began implementation of a rush program for the remainder of the Spring semester . We felt confident that 路 we would soon gain our charter. One thing was certainly agreed upon, it would take a lot of hard work by all concerned .

ALPHAMU 路路-- Penn State -

Our chapter of Pi Kappa Phi here at Penn State has just completed twelve days of hard work collecting donations for our annual Interfraternity Council Dance Marathon, benefitting the Four Diamonds Cancer Fund for leukemic children. Brother Steve Earhart did a fine job as Marathon Chairman as we collected $4700, and Brother Bob Ryhal danced 48 straight hours . We finished with the third highest total out of 50 fraternities on campus. We are now preparing for our "Miss Penn State Scholarship Pageant" this April. Last year's winner, Charmaine Kowalski, also won the Miss Pennsylvania title and competed in the Miss America Pageant as well. We here at Alpha Mu are anxiously awaiting this year's pageant, wh en we will donate all proceeds to the Association of Handicapped Students .

ALPHA XI Polytechnic Institute of New York This year's Rose Ball was the biggest and most memorable. It was repofted that not only did it include Alpha Xi, but also The ~ew York , Alumni Association . Since this was the largest Rose Ball in our chapter's history, it gave us a chance to do something we don't do, such as getting acquainted with some of our not so recent alumni. We take this as an opportunity to strengthen alumni relations.

Alpha Xi is no. I in P.I.N.Y.'s intramural sports. Of the six fraternities on campus we captured first place in baseball, football, and hockey. We are undefeated in swimming, basketball, and wrestling this season.

We initiated 9 new members this year . We have a pledge class that is still growing for Spring 1979.

Alpha Xi raised over $1,000 for our charityPUSH . The units themselves are to be placed in Medical Centers and schools where they could be used by the many children who are in dire need of them.

Some of the major repairs on the house are : the old and worn -out tiles in the kitchen have been replaced by new and better-looking tiles; unbreakable plexiglass windows were substituted for the weak and broken glass windows in the kitchen, chapter room, and hallways; the kitchen and the two bathrooms were completely wallpapered; a new sink was installed in the third floor bathroom; every hallway and room in the house was repainted; and the second and fourth floor hallways were stuccoed. Overall, the house is in great condition now and looks superb .

Sports, however, was not the only area of concentration fall quarter -- over one-third of the members of the house attained gradepoint averages of 3.0 or better. Friendly competition is encouraged here by a quarterly steak dinner for those attaining scholastic success --everyone else being served hamburger.

Next year has big plans in store for Alpha Omicron, it being the chapter's 50th anni versary. A banquet is planned for the alumni Friday night, November 2, with an ensuing pre-game brunch Saturday morning for Homecoming. Over fifty alumni have voiced their early interest and are expected to attend.

House refurbishment has included a new carpet for the main house stairwell (donated by alumnus, Don Brandt), a rejuvenated pool table (compliments of house members Chris Sproch and Scott Meyers), a color TV for the pledge "Get together" room, a new stainless steel stove in the kitchen, and plans to install an industrial quality steam dishwasher -- now being diligently thought out by Steward, Mike Allen . The men here have their hopes high for a completely modernized kitchen in the near future if rush goes as well as projected.

ALPHA RHO West Virginia University It was a proud night for Pi Kappa Phi on November 11, 1978, when the newly initiated brothers of the Alpha Rho chapter were presented with their charter . While the presidents of nearly all the frat~r~ities and sororities on the WVU campus looked on, Pat Farley (then Archon) accepted the original cl;larter issued over forty-five years ago.

A lot of hard work went into re-establishing the Alpha Rho chapter. We are deeply indebted to Steve DePalma (Beta Alpha) and Tim Ribar (Xi) who were the re-installing officers. A particular note of thanks goes to the Gamma Zeta chapter at West Virginia Tech and Delta Upsilon chapter at the University of Pittsburgh, the initiating teams.

There are mnay others I have not mentioned who played an important part in our chartering .

Our gratitude for their help and guidance will never be forgotten .

ALPHA SIGMA University of Tennessee Alpha Sigma chapter is pleased to report a most successful rush this fall . These twelve new men compl et ed their pledge education with a trip to the Administrative Office in Charlotte, N .C. ; and we feel they will be an important addition to our chapter.

The chapter house is taking on a new look with the painting of the insides and the addi tion of new curtains thanks to generous contributions by alumni, Douglas Deaver and David Everhart.

ALPHA PHI Illinois Institute of Technology The Alpha Phi chapter had a very successful rush this fall, bringing in 18 new pledges. The pledges recently had a pie throw within the house as a fund-raiser. It was a great success, yielding $220, which was applied toward the Pledge Class Dance. The dance was also a great success, including, among other things, a lighted dance floor . Among other pledge activities have been the painting of a school and participation in a community project held on campus for some nearby orphan children .

Due to a near-capac'ty house membership, the house was able to effect two major house improvements: the installation of a new stove and many new light fixtures OSt the first floor.

Three actives Chuck March, Walter Orawczyk, and Greg Cieplucha - attended Pi Kapp College this year . Mid-shipman Orawczyk is also one of three persons in the nation to receive the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association Scholarship Award, and is a candidate for the highly selective NROTC Nuclear Propulsion Program.

ALPHA OMICRON Iowa State University

ALPHA PSI Indiana University

Alpha Omicron of Pi Kappa Phi here at Ames, Iowa has faired well in its recruitment efforts; in the last two years, chapter membership has more than doubled with the addition of 17 men in this quarter's pledge class. The pledges' community service project included a trip to the Story County Home for the Mentally Handicapped to play a rousing game of softball. Around the house, this active group has planned to completely rebuild the bell yoke in the front yard that was vandali zed

1978 has been a good year for the Pi Kapps at Indiana University. We started out the year with a near-victory in the Little 500 bike race held in April . After weeks and weeks of training, the team finished third in a "photofinish" race . The riders in the race were brothers John Leonard, John Hayden , Jim Kaufman, and Steve Pivarnik and Gary Ashton . This was the best the Pi Kapps have ever done in the Little 500 .

During the summer several of the brothers attended the Pi Kapp College, held at Roanoke College in Virginia. Alpha Psi was honored to have our own Rose Queen, Leslie Swingle, chosen as the National Rosa Queen. The

last year.

Football was the word here at Alpha Omi cron this fall as the chapter team missed the Class B Championship by a mere three points.

brothers that attended brought back much useful information that they acquired during their stay at Roanoke .

Upon returning to school in the fall, the brothers began preparations for the I.U . Homecoming festivities. Keeping in pace with the last three years, the Pi Kapps once more won the Homecoming float contest . The theme of this year's parade was "The Big Red Round-up" .

Many alumni of Alpha Psi returned to Bloom ington for the Homecoming weekend, which was enjoyed by all .

The Pi Kapps at I.U. have always been active in intramurals, and this ye r we were fortunate enough to have an excellent football t eam ..

Our "A" team had an undefeated season, eventually winning the All -Campus title . We also participated in basketball, swimming, cross-country, and a host of other sports.

After a retreat in the fall, th e broth ers worked hard on rush, in hopes of a large fall pledge class . During th e course of the semester, many young men became fri ends of Pi Kappa Phi.

stadium . Every fall we spend an afternoon and take off with brooms and buckets of white paint. We always have a good time whitewashing the rocks as well as each other. This annual event always prompts considerable recognition for Pi Kappa Phi.

The University of Missouri cheerleaders include these Pi Kappa Phis: Jim Henry, I; Rick Mabrey, c; and Thomas Stevens, r.

BETA BETA Florida Southern College Beta Beta Chapter has been active in sports, and our philanthropic project. We co-sponsored a haunted house for UNICEF with the Alpha Delta Pi Sorority. In intramurals we placed .. second in .116lleyball, and won wrestling. We are currently in second place in all sports .

Our cl)apter has many campus leaders . Jack McMahon is President of the Student Government Association . Chuck Vilushis is President of Men's Student Government Association, and Marc Gruber is Secretary. Mark Cook is Treasurer of I FC, and Dick Longden is on the Supreme Court and a Resident Hall Advisor.

BETA DELTA Drake University There has been a lot happening for the Beta Delta chapter this semester. We improved the appearance of the house by having it repainted over the summer; we had a beautiful pool table donated by the Lund family; graphics were added , and more .

Greek Week was a success for the Pi Kapps.

We were the winners of one of the biggest awards , the Fund-raising Award . Th e Greek honorary , Gamma Gamma, tapped three brothers - Mark Chaplick, Evan Klin e, Gary Zimmerman . Our pledges from last spring had the highest grade point average for fraternities .

As usual, social and athletics played an important role for Pi Kapps. Our football team led by coach and quarterback Dave Spewak made it into the fraternity play-offs . Two members of the team were chosen for the all-Greek team : Kraig Ausman for defense and Jeff Kimmel for both offense and defense.

Socially, our annual dacquiri party, the surgical party, and a winter formal with another frat ernity were the highlights.

Beta Delta initiated 10 pledges on Novem ber 19. These pledges are expected to add much leadership to the house . They are also hoping to buy the house a new television with the money they have raised .

The amount of involvement at Beta Delta is shown through the members who were recognized by Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. They were Mark Chaplick, Evan Kline , Joel Mosher, Ron Raskin, and Gary Zimmerman .

House elections are coming up and a transi tion will be made with younger brothers being installed into office . Already starting this transition is Andy Wasserman with his election to the position of Interfraternity Council treasurer.

Upcoming events include Bulldog Tales with the Delta Gamma's, the national project PUSH, recognition of Founder's Day, and relays float. This has been a great semester for Beta Delta and we expect the next one to be even better.

BETA EPSILON Univ. of Missouri - Columbia The Beta Epsilon Chapter has had another good semester. Strong participation by actives during rush resulted in one of the largest pledge classes on campus . These thirty-one pledges testify to the solidarity of our members.

Recently, we all dres~~d up (Ala' "Animal House") and were featured by one local humor magazine as the wildest house on campus . Out of thirty -five fraternities, that's not a bad record I Our chapter also boasts three active members of Missouri's cheerleading squad . With one of the best cheerleading squads in the nation, Jim Henry, Tom Stevens and Rick Mabrey , travel with the football team and play important roles, boosting the Tiger Spirit.

We have continued to uphold the tradition of painting the "M" on the north side of our

Our foremost interest this fall has been to cultivate needed alumni support. We have ini t iated our biannual chapter newsletter as a motivating factor . Also, we recently founded an alumni housing corporation for Beta Epsilon .

We are each paying $3 a month into a fund to be used for furniture, or a future down payment on a house of our own. Another way that we have promoted alumni relations was by spon soring a pre-football game buffet for actives, alums and their families . We got som e help from alums this year as 'car parkers' at th e foot ball games. The funds we raised by parking cars will be applied to badly needed furniture .

If any alumni are interested they could write : Phi Kappa Phi Historian, 908 Curtis, Columbia, Missouri 65201 .

BETA LAMBDA University of Tampa Beta Lambda stands as the largest fraternity on campus and has been involved with many community events. As a group we donated the largest amount of blood during the Interfraternity Council Blood Drive. The pledges and broth ers got together Halloween night and collected over $150 which was donated to UNICEF. We are al so now involved with the re novation of ou r form er fr aternity house, which was declared a historical landmar k in the city of Tampa.

The pledge period was very successful and we have initiated 13 new brothers th is se m ester, including 2 alumni brothers. Our Founders Day Banquet was very successful and held in the University Rathskeller. The brothers of Beta Lambda Chapter are looking forward to a productive Spring "79" .

BETAMU McNeese State University The broth ers of Beta Mu are proud to an nounce that they are nearly doubl e the si ze, in membership, that w e were one year ago . Much of the credit for this success goes to several Pi Kappa Phi alumni that were concerned about th e survival of th e oldest existing chapter in th e State of Louisiana .

The Beta Mu brothers have had a successful Fall in which we sponsored a Fall raffl e where we raised over $700 . We al so came in first place in the medium division in the McNeese State University Homecoming Parade, in whi ch we netted $250 .

BETA TAU Valdosta State This summer, the eighteen brothers of the Beta Tau Chapter began working toward their · goal - a successful Fall Rush . We began with some house improvements; building a sundeck, adding shutters, painting and landscaping work .

The brothers and pledges worked together everyday through to meet this goal. The work paid off when thirty-seven men accepted bids, enabling Beta Tau to move from the smallest fraternity at Valdosta State to the largest one overnight .

After taking some time to organize, the brothers and pledges have readied themselves to undertake various community projects. We raised eighty dollars for The American Diabetes Association in a Bike-A-Thon and have taken some of the local retarded children for a day at the fair.

Many brothers and pledges have become active in Campus organizations this year . Posi tions are held in the Student Government Senate . The College Union Board, and The Reserve Officers Training Corp .

S. Walter Martin, Furman , retired as President of Valdosta State College on June 30 . Mr. Martin served as President for 11 years and was a great help to us in Beta Tau . Our Alumni Speaker for Founders' Day was Fluker Stewart, Stetson, Director of Alumni Affairs at VSC . Brother Stewart also serves as the chapt;r's Alumni Advisor and is an important part of our organi· zation .

After a lackluster Football season, the brothers and pledges are looking forward to Intramural Basketball next quarter. One of Fall quarter's highlights was Beta Tau's Intramural Championship in Cross Country.

Next quarter we plan to strengthen our Alumni Chapter, so if you are an Alumnus and have not received a letter from us, please forward your address to us.

BETA PHI East Carolina Beta Phi Chapter has come back after a dismal rebuilding year to have the third largest brotherhood on campus. To our advantage it is also one of the youngest brotherhoods. The spirit of our fraternity has shot straight up because of the combined officers of the fraternity, the core of the brotherhood and the advice of the Administrative Office through its Field Secretaries such as Bill Gurney and Tom Tott.

The goal of Beta Phi Chapter is to win the President's Cup, the fraternity d ivision in the intramural program . We would also like to be able to enlarge the broth erhood to 75. Not to neglect the basic reason why we are at East Carolina, the brothers have made a conscious effort to raise their grades.

The Beta Phi Chapter opened the year by pledging and inducting 20 new members, which brought the current .membership to 42 brothers.

The 20 new members is the largest inducted class in Beta Phi history and the fraternity hopes to continue the positive growth through the entire year .

The fraternity has put a great deal of time on cosmetic improvements to the house. The pledges are about to paint the exteriors of both houses as their pledge project. They have also had several fund raising activities such as car washes and happy hours.

Kirt Edgerton (I FC President) received the Most Outstanding Greek Award. Mike Auten, Jeff Kearns and Phi l Mann were tapped into the Greek Hall of Fame for their outstanding service to the Greek system. Beta Phi also received two first place awards for various Greek Week activities.

Beta Phi won First Place in the fraternity division of intramural soccer and advanced to Third Place in All Campus Soccer.

Beta Phi had an excellent alumni turnout for Homecoming . The brothers and alumni had a brotherhood and formed a Beta Phi Alumni Association for chapter support and housing improvement. Keith Beatty, Walter Benton and Carl Darden are heading the Association. The brothers have begun a program of sending out one alumni publication each month to keep the alumni in contact with the chapter.

BETA PSI Tennessee Wesleyan It has been a busy quarter at Beta Psi. During our school's "Halloween Arts Carnival", we sponsored a haunted house which was a big success . We raised over $200 which went as a contribution to the National Project and toward the purchase of new furniture.

On the weekend of November 14, we enjoyed an alumni weekend during which a new Beta Psi Alumni Chapter was organized and chartered. Also, there was a basketball game in which the Brotherhood defeated the Alumni 69 to 67 in overtime. The Alumni Chapter is one of the greatest things that has happend to

our chapter this quarter. There was a record number of alumni present for the alumni weekend.

On the weekend of November 21, we had a chapter retreat in the mountains . The retreat was a big success as we accomplished a great deal business-wise as well as had a great time.

On Saturday, December 9, we observed Founders' Day with a program after which we exchanged Christmas gifts. Afterwards, we had our annual Christmas Party which was a joint celebration of Founders' Day. Fall Quarter has bepn a busy one in our chapter . We are looking forward to several activities and projects during Winter Quarter which will further our goals of being an "A NUMBER ONE" chapter!

BETA OMEGA East Tennessee State University This Fall at Beta Omega Chapter was a rewarding one. We had a very successful Rush and got some good associate members. They are working hard with several projects, one being a house improvement project in which they are going to landscape the house lawn.

Homecoming this year had a good turn out.

Saturday, October 14, we had a pig roast with a party following that night . Many of the Alumni were there and everyone seemed to have a good time . Also we would like to extend thanks to Ed Fitzgerald and Larry Henderson for be· coming members of the 50's Club. Their donations of $50 were really helpful and appreciated. We would also like to thank the Alumni Advisory Board for putting Beta Omega in great shape. With much of their time and effort we got a new housing contract and are in good financial shape . We are aiming for the Houser Award, and with a little more work we can achieve our goal.

Rose Ball is scheduled for May 11 and 12.

The location has not been decided . Alumni are requested to reply on attendance and we hope to see everyone there .

GAMMA ALPHA Livingston University The Gamma Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has had an outstanding fall. Presently we have nine associate members who are anxiously waiting to join our brotherhood .

Many civic projects have highlighted our fall, including delivering turkeys to a local nursing home for Thanksgiving and putting up a Christ· mas tree at the nursing home. We delivered fruit baskets to needy families during the Christmas holidays . We have sponsored a party in which everyone brought a toy which will go to the "Toys for Tots" campaign. We are proud of the Chapter Service Award we received last year and are looking forward to conducting many more service projects.

Pi Kappa Phi is well represented on campus .

The President and Secretary of the Student Government Association are brothers . We also have a brother and an associate brother playing baseball, and one who is a football trainer . We have a brother in graduate school who is the University's I nttramural Director.

In lntramurals we are currently in First Place for the All Sports Award which we have won seven out of the last eight years. We re· cent ly went undefeated in intramural vol ley· ba ll, and claimed Second Place in the Cross Country Run. During Homecoming weekend we had many alumni returning for our annual brunswick stew supper the night before Homecoming.

GAMMA GAMMA Troy State On June 11, 1978 the Gamma Gamma Chapter house was destroyed by fire. Many valuables were lost, but memories of past days will forever remain in the hearts of Gam· ma Gamma members.

The chapter started the year with its head high. Rush went on as usual and the Brotherhood was fortunate to pledge twenty· eight fine young men . Initiation for these pledges is scheduled for the last of December.

The highlight of Fall Quarter was Homecoming . The Brotherhood would like to thank all the Alumni that turned out and invite them to return real soon. Homecoming entertainment was provided by "Hotel". Everyone had a great time. The fo ll owing Sunday the A lumni soundly beat the Brotherhood in the annual football game, but wait until next year.

Plans are now being completed to have the Chapter in a new house by Fall of 1979.

The Brotherhood would like also to thank two of our Chapter Advisors, Dr. Doug Hawkins and Benny Pinckard, for their helping support and guidance .

We have rented our house out to the Bel· mont Jaycees for $100 to be used as a haunted house. We have also donated to the Roteract, a club here at the Abbey , in their efforts to help UNICEF.

GAMMANU LaGrange College

·'Best Float" was awarded Gamma Epsilon for this entry at Western Carolina.

GAMMA EPSILON Western Carolina University Gamma Epsilon has gotten off to a great start this fall semester. With a strong brotherhood the chapter has produced 13 pledges and the initiation of two new brothers .

Many of the brothers and pledges hold offices within the Student Government Associ· ation : Vice-President, Director of Student Productions, Chief Justice Traffic Court, Student Senators and Comptroller.

Gamma Epsilon is working on many fund· raising projects. Much of the money going towards Homecoming and future housing.

Homecoming this year was held at the Great Smokies Hilton in Asheville, N .C. at which many of the alumni attended. The game between Furman and WCU was all Furman and little Western . For the first time in the history of Gamma Epsilon the fraternity won the Homecoming float for the best fraternity float.

GAMMA KAPPA Georgia Southern Gamma Kappa chapter pledged eight men and with 35 active brothers this gives Gamma Kappa 43 members, making this chapter as large as in recent memory.

Pi Kappa Phi at Georgia Southern is in the process of purchasing a section of land on the site of GSC's future fraternity row. The land won't be completed until Spring. Hope· fully, there will be a Pi Kapp house on fraternity row in the near future.

Gamma Kappa chapter collected almost $350 for UNICEF, which was more than half of the total collection. Pi Kappa Phi worked with Statesboro's Park and Recreation Dept. on their Punt, Pass and Kick. Twenty -s ix brothers and pledges ran in Statesboro's First Annual Great American Smoke-Out Road Race . The 3 .1 mile race aided the Cancer Society. Georgia Southern's I FC awarded Pi Kappa Phi with a trophy for the most parti· cipants finishing the race.

The flag football team had a winning season with a six and five record. Injuries and inex· perience hurt the team badly. Volleyball was added to the intramural program this year .

With little experience and practice, the team made semi-finals of the playoffs.

GAMMA LAMBDA University of Missouri - Rolla During the fall semester the Gamma Lambda Chapter placed new emphasis on recruitment and scholastic achievement. The need to increase our membership wi ll be met through persona l contact with prospective members.

We have six new members living in the house at the start of the spring semester. Much has been done in planning for new members in addition to the recently associated members.

In addition to vastly improved recruitment functions, the member education program has been greatly improved for both newly associ· ated and presently inititated members.

Our housing cooperation has taken a flying leap from a "paper organization" to a func· tiona! program. This accomplishment is mainly due to the care and work of a recent alumni, Eric Harris.

This semester marked the tenth anniversary since our chartering. Much support from alumni ranging from the most recent to the oldest was received . An interesting comparison of our chapter past to present goals was presented by our alumni guest speakers.

GAMMAMU Belmont Abbey College Everything has been going well here at the Abbey. We are in t he process of fixing up the house: a stereo, new door, and repair of the balcony are in order. Some Abbey students are doing paintings for the house. They are very good. Recreationally, we are in the process of purchasing a pool table and a fooze ball game.

We have already had several parties this year. At one of the parties, an Abbey student played the guitar and harmonica. We have also had a "P I G ROAST", which was a success.

The Gamma Nu chapter of LaGrange Col lege is proud to announce the initiation of 16 new pledges. The chapter is considering having conclave activities Spring of 1979 . We are very happy to announce that this year we will be celebrating our 10-year anniversary as a national organization . The fraternity has just recent ly finished first in the campus blood drive.

GAMMA XI Georgia Southwestern The men of Gamma Xi are proud to an· nounce that we have gotten a new house.

Since purchasing it last April, much hard work has gone into it including central heating, to make it a truly beautiful home. We invite all alumni who have not seen it to drop in any time and see their new house, 321 Barlow St. Rush looks promising for next quarter.

Several sharp guys have shown interest in our chapter and hopefully will accept our wildcat bids.

Congratulations goes to our brother, Mark Fuller, who is engaged to be married to Presi· dent Carter's niece, Kim Carter. Brother Fuller and Little Sis' Kim are to exchange vows in July.

Climaxing this school year will be Rose Ball '79, to be held in May. It will be our 1Oth anniversary and we are sure it will be our best Rose Ball ever. We hope to have Durward Owen and Phi l Tappy join in on the festi· vities. It will be a perfect start to our next 10 years of brotherhood.

GAMMA RHO Lander College As in the past, Pi Kapps have taken an active role in student government. Several Brothers have taken on various positions in student government act1v1t1es, with each showing the true leadership of Pi Kappa Phi at Lander College.

On December 11, 1978 Founder's Day was celebrated honoring the founding of Pi Kappa Phi. On this night, we presented Brother Howard T . Steffenson with his certificate for 50 years of loyality to Pi Kappa Phi . Everyone who attended enjoyed the reunion of all the older and younger brothers.

The intramural program is again going strong. After a slow start in the Fall, we are very optimistic about the upcomtng Spring.

GAMMA SIGMA Armstrong State College The brothers of Gamma Sigma would like to open this letter to the Star and Lamp by ex· pressing their most heartfelt congratulations to the chapter's most recent graduates. Brother Bob Torrescano, Brother Richard Chambless, and Brother Thomas Long all graduated with a Bachelor's Degree at the end of the summer q uarter in August. Brothers Torrescano and Chablesss received their degrees in Political Science and Brother Long in Crimina l Justice.

It is with deepest sincerity that the chapter wishes these brothers the best of luck in all of their future endeavors.

In addition to congratualting the chapter's newest graduates, the brothers of Gamma Sigma would also like to take this opportu· nity to recognize the achievements of two undergraduate brothers. Brother Brian Bacon has been selected for membership in Pi Mu Epsilon Mathematics Honor Society and Brother David Dorondo has been chosen for Who's Who in American Colleges and Uni· vers1t1es. To these outstanding Pi Kapps, Gamma Sigma says congratualtions for a job we ll done I Gamma Sigma of late involved the brothers in the 1978 United Way Fund Raising Drive and the local edition of the Jerry Lewis Museu· lar Dystrophy Telethon. Gamma Sigma realizes that chapter involvement in these and similar undertakings is essential for the involvement of Pi Kappa Phi in the community apart from that of the school. The brothers of Gamma Sigma will continue to work for t he realization of this goal .

at OSU. Roth has had a wide range of involvement on the OSU campus. He has been a member and served as president of numerous organizations including I FC, Blue Key, Campus Action Council, Institute in Christian Acade· mics, and Student Cabinet of University Heights Baptist Church. Directly proceeding his presidency, he served as Attorney General of the SGA and worked for Senator Henry Bellmen of Oklahoma in Washington, D.C. This groundwork and background led Roth and his Pi Kappa Phi brothers into an intensive, all-out campaign effort that led to Roth's election in the campus-wide balloting with 70% student body support.

A member-associate workshop was held here at the house by an alum ni brother, Steve Spradling, Pastor of Waukomis Methodist Church. The workshop concerned itself with our fee lings toward alumni, Pi Kappa Phi National, one another, and Gamma Upsilon chapter. Responsibi I ities of each and the intercooperation needed to solve chapter problems was discussed. The result produced a re-evaluation of ourselves and the setting of new goals.

The workshop was well received, and thanks goes to Steve for his taking time out to help.

Kendall Roth, Gamma Upsilon, Student Government President of Ok lahoma State University.

GAMMA PHI University of South Alabama Gamma Phi chapter, through outstanding work in Public Service, Scholarship, and Athletics, captured the Dean's Trophy for best all -around fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi is mak ing an effort to retain the trophy again this year and in years to come.

SGA elections were held at South Alabama and Pi Kappa Phi managed to continue its dominance. The chapter recaptured the Presi· dent's office as well as taking the Vice-President's office, five Senator slots, and one Justice on the Supreme Court.

The chapter held their. Founder's Day banquet on ~unday, December 10, at Constantines. Tom Johnston was the speaker and everyone involved had an excellent time.

Gamma Phi is planning a big Rose Ball for this Spring. The chapter is planning to spend a weekend at Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

Gamma Phi has formed a new committee in hopes of improving future chapter plans in all areas. This p lanning committee has officers as wel l as pledges and members participating.

The comm ittee will discuss plans for the next two years covering the areas from Chapter Budget to Rush.

The chapter is honored to have one of its members to serve on the Council of Archons.

Steve Sisk from Huntsville, Alabama began serving on the Council at the beginning of Pi Kapp College and will serve until Supreme Chapter.

GAMMA PSI Augusta College During spring and fall quarters, the brothers have been busy with both the remodeling of the house and the p lanning of fa ll and winter rush. With our fal l rush, we received a promising class of eleven pledges. Our house is currently acquiring a new coat of paint along with some carpentry work. Plans are in the making to rebuild our cottage. The upstairs floor has recently received central heat and soon both the downstairs and the basement will be centrally heated. Thanks to our A lumni's Furniture Drive, the Chapter Room shall soon Once again, the receive new furnishings. brothers, the alumni, and the pledges in a fraternally effort, have successfully restored both the house and spirit of Gamma Psi.

DELTA ALPHA Virginia Polytechnic Institute This fall quarter at VA Tech has seen the brotherhood of Delta Alpha Chapter uniting in many projects from food drives to house re· pairs. Our fraternity house has just been painted on the outside and has had many repairs on the inside of which we are very proud. Before the Kentucky vs VA Tech football game, our chapter collected many cans of food for

the needy people in and around Montgomery County, which is near our university. Also some money was raised for the poor of this area. Our treasury has been greatly increased by the various hot dog sales we have had in the dorms of VA Tech. Car washes have also been big here, especially because of the hot, dry, and dusty conditions of Blacksburg this fal l .

Our chapter has also been active in the academic field. Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity at VA Tech was ranked in the top ten fraternities for high grades on this campus.

Our chapter also put in quite a few man hours during Homecoming working on the only float to pass over our football turf this year .

Delta Zeta has been very fortunate this year to obtain one of the newest night spots in Boone · Shenanigans. There is a great emphasis on this project as it will help strengthen many aspects of our fraternity. Our Housing Committee has been fully activated.

DELTA DELTA Northeast Missouri State

The most impressive event of the semester was Homecoming, when Delta Theta had the largest number of alumni brothers ever recorded. Another special event of the chapter was the initiation of a new advisor into the chapter.

In the area of service, Delta Theta worked to collect over 100 pints of blood for the Red Cross. Upcoming services include the sponsoring of a Valentine Dance for the entire co ll ege campus, raising money for the American Cancer Society and an Easter party for the Mars Hi ll Baptist Church Handi-School .

Delta Theta Chapter has recently set up a Greg Goodwin Scholarship of $200, which will be given to a student in the spring semester.

This semester's been one of change for Delta Delta. We started this semester with a new house, and maki ng improvements on it has been a continuous project for us. The first week of school found us painting the exterior of the house with the help of alumnus, Don Wyngarden and potentia l members who enjoyed house painting .

Some of the improvements we've made have included remodel ing our unfinished basement; having a mural painted on one wall

by Brother Rich Sturgeuss; and removing the old, worn carpet from our living room floor and then refinishing the wopd floor. We are also pane ling our living room. Most of these projects have been done with materials donated by active btothers. With these improvements and others we have planned, we feel we have a house as good as any o n campus.

Delta Delta had a successful NMSU Homecoming this fall. We had more alumni return than we have had in a long time. Alumni interest is running high and our communications with them is increasing.

One of our brothers works for the local M.F .A. co-op; through him, we have arranged several work projects including constructing hog feeders this semester. We had several teams working at the same time and enjoyed a good feeling of accomplishing something that we worked on together.

Delta Delta threw its support behind Brother David Ewigman this sem.ester when he danced in a Muscular Dystrophy Dance-a-thon. David and his partner danced 28 hours and then col lected the most money in pledges to first out of 25 couples who also finished.

Delta Delta initiated seven new brothers this fall; this included our advisor Zelwin B. Eaton. We plan on initiating many more next semester and wish to thank both Robert Mitchell and Tom Tott for their rush seminars and the tips they passed on to us when they each visited. We have already put some of them irito · effect and plan to put them all into use • next semester.

DELTA EPSILON Jacksonville State University The brothers of Delta Epsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi returned to Jacksonville State this fall with the idea of proving that we are the best fraternity on campus.

Rush yielded Delta Epsilon twenty-seven hard working young men. These men already have the incentive of keeping Delta Epsilon as the "friendliest fraternity on campus".

Homecoming proved to be a great success with many of our alumni attending the festi· vities. Old acquaintances were renewed and new friendships were established during this weekend.

We were very proud when chartering member, Mike Wamsley, was awarded "chapter advisor of the year" at Pi Kapp College for his work at Kansas State University . This same honor went to our Delta Epsilon faculty advisor, Clyde J. McSpadden, in 1977.

Mr. McSpadden was awarded the "area governor of the year" award at Pi KapR, Co llege th is summer, also. We are very proud of Clyde McSpadden and Mike Wamsley.

The football season at Jacksonville State University was very rewarding to the brothers of Delta Epsilon. We were able to fellowship with our brothers of different schools such as Troy State University and Livingston State University.

Our chapter had a good start in intramural sports at Jacksonville State with getting second place in football. For Thanksgiving this year the brothers of our chapter fed one of the underprivileged families of our community. We plan to do the same for two families this Christmas.

DELTA ZETA Appalachian State University We were proud to hold the largest rush party ever on our campus which resulted in a very active group of associate members. As Pi Kapps, we are continuing our work within the community, as well as the university, to remain an asset and promote the ideals of our fraternity.

DELTA THETA Mars Hill College

DELTA J.;A..MBDA University of North Carolina This was the f irst semester in the last two years that we haven't had some form of housing.

This made rush even harder for us. But a lot of time and effort went into rush, and also a record amount of cash. The Administrative Office also played a big part in helping us plan our rush and were instrumental in many other ways.

On December 8 we initiated 14 fine men into Pi Kappa Phi brotherhood. This initiation marked the first semester in many years that we initiated 100% of a pledge class, something we are very proud of. We wou ld like to thank Brother Henry Groves for all the help he has given to us this semester.

DELTAMU Methodist College The annual Miss Methodist College pagent is sponsored by the brotherhood, being produced and funded by the chapter. The pagent is traditionally the big spring happening for the Pi Kapp's and the rest of the student body.

Last fall, Delta Mu won the Fraternity Bowl football game rather impressively for the third year in a row. This year saw the defeat of Lambda Chi Alpha · 36-6.

A special word of thanks to the brothers of Delta Lambda Chapter who stopped and helped our brothers who were stranded on the side of the highway on the way to Roanoke last summer.

DELTANU Western Kentucky University The Delta Nu Chapter had a very successful rush this semester with the help of the Admini· strative Office and initiated 10 new brothers on December 3.

The members have been kept busy washing cars, hauling hay, selling posters, and helping the Larry Davis fami ly move. The total amount of money raised was matched by Larry Davis.

The money raised by the Associate Member class was used to purchase foods that were donated to the Newman Center where it was distributed to needy families. The chapter is still looking for a suitable house; however, they are optimistic that one wi ll be secured soon.

Social activities inc luded the annual Home· coming dance attended by the fol lowing alum· ni Fred Price, Larry Davis, Mike Meffert, Dave Madison, Tom Sebetta, Dave Harp, Mark Vanderheyden, Bruce Masden, Benny Johnson, and Bill Shouse. Paul Stamp, Galen "Butch" Freeman, Dave Hogan, and Dennis Parker have also visited throughout the sem· ester. The chapter celebrated Founder's Day on December 9 with a dinner at the Holiday Inn and a Christmas party afterward.

The chapter participated in the Kappa Delta sorority's annual Kappa Delta Washboard Jamboree and the campus bowling tournament.

Representing Pi Kappa Phi ~ Carl Tatum placed third in the campus chess tournament.

Other activities included participation in the area conclave held in Memphis, Tennessee, a Big Brother/Little Brother retreat, a football game matching the brothers against the associate members, and a rush conference which was held at the Alumni Center on October 10.

DELTA XI University of North Alabama Fall rush was the most successful in our

chapter's short history. Twenty-one men chose to pledge Pi Kappa Phi this semester. Our program of continuous rush has made Pi Kappa Phi the fastest growing Greek organization at the University of North Alabama for the second semester in a row. Motivation from the Executive Council has kept the chapter busy and successful with its service projects - the biggest of which was a recruitment campaign focused on the Cub Scouts of America .

We were able to help start several new packs in the Quad-Cities and surrounding area. This project was very special to us because Victor Gray, an alumnus of Delta Xi, is currently this region's Boy Scouts of America Organizing ececutive. Our Founder's Day banquet went over quite well and acted as another integral part of our alumni •relations program which is constantly increasing in intensity.

Currently one brother is the president of the Inter-Hall Council and drum major of the University band; one is treasurer of the I FC and . others are working on various school publica· tions and in clubs. Delta Xi took second place in the first annual GUNA Bash (Greeks of UNA), and plans for Spring Fling and Step Sing are in the first stages of planning.

There are two people whom we wish to recognize. They are Melissa Long, who is our sweetheart and has just been named Miss UNA, and Jud Driver, who has been appointed as Advisor to Dee Outlaw, Area Governor of Area XV.

DELTA OMICRON Nicholls State University Our Alumni Association is starting to really come together. Both the undergraduate chapter and the alumni have hopes of the alumni be· coming a chartered chapter by the end of the next spring semester.

We have been fortunate to be able to have our house lease renewed for another two years.

We take much pride in our house since it is one of our most valuable assets, especially since so many other fraternities on campus lost their houses last semester. Delta Omicron had a successful work day to upgrade our house.

Led by Kris St. Pierre we were able to replace the old porch rai ling, give the house a good scrubdown, and build a more effective filing system.

Last semester Delta Omicron became a three-time first · place winner in the Miller Beers reclaimation program for collecting the most empty bottles and cans. We however, are especially proud to have been awarded with the Master Chapter Award.

DELTA PI Wright State University The Delta Pi Chapter at Wright State has made major improvements in the summer and fall quarters of 1978. Our rush program this fall has resulted in the largest pledge class ever for a WSU fraternity with fifteen extremely enthusiastic associate members. We are looking forward to their initiation in December.

Summer of 1978 saw the first graduation class of the Delta Pi Chapter. This event was met with mixed emotion by many, but we congratualte and wish the best for our new alumni. Later in the summer we helped build an all-Greek float for the Kettering Holiday at Home Parade. The float won the President's Award making the second year in a row that the Wright State Greek float captured a trophy. The summer ended with the first initiation of our little sisters program. These girls have really added "a touch of class". to our chapter.

Fall quarter started with our second annual "Everything Goes" dance. While not as successfu l as the first, the ladies of Zeta Tau A lpha Sorority, co-sponsors of the dance, helped make it a truly memorable evening. At the annual Wright State October Daze Festival, we once again sold ponzos ·a pizza-like snack that has become a tradition at October Daze.

DELTA SIGMA Bowling Green State University After this year all of the charter members will have graduated leaving Delta Sigma's destiny in the hands of all those later initiated.

Our future looks very promising; we had our largest pledge class since chartering with eight new pledges and our prospectives for next quarter look even more promising.

This quarter Delta Sigma sponsored an all-campus toga party from which we raised $100 for the National Play Environment Project. Also our Archon, Kevin Lotosky, was elected to the Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Our Vice· Archon, Craig Anderson, was elected to the Vice-Presidency of IFC.

DELTA TAU James Madison University The Delta Tau Chapter here at JMU is entering a new era in fraternal growth. After two years of hard work, the brothers were able to move into our new house. Once in, we immediately began work on the house which has resulted in a panelled bar, mirrowed tile, and we have plans for carpeting our chapter room and a special painting design for the walls. We also are refinishing a piano that was donated to us ; this will be used for our upcoming Greek Sing practices.

Our pledge class this year is the largest of any fraternity on campus. With 18 members, the Associate Members have staged 3 car washes resulting in over $250, a service project dealing with Co-hope, and a social for the brothers.

All of their activities have been great successes.

Delta Tau has won the scholarship trophy for the fifth straight semester, and we hope to win it again this semester in order to retire the tropjy to our name. In athletics, our basketball team again went undefeated and made it to the quarterfinals before losing a close game by 3 points.

This has been our best year for service projects. The brothers are involved in working every week with hospitalized patients - all of the brothers find this to be most rewarding.

We also held a concert-dance for our National Service Project in which we raised over $700.

DELTA lJPSILON University of Pittsburgh The Delta Upsilon Chapter at the University of Pittsburgh is off to a good start for the 1978-1979 school year. Our Founder's Day banquet, held at Del's in Bloomfield, was very successful, and both the members and alumni had a very good time. New officers have also been elected, and a variety of events have already been planned for the upcoming year.

DELTA CHI Kansas State It has been a very interesting semester here at Delta Chi Chapter. Our house, which was acquired during the summer, has gone through numerous stages of renovation . It's come a long way since the summer and can rightfully be called "home" by the chapter.

Our first initiation was held during October. It was a very exciting evening for all of the brothers as well as for the initiates. Except for a few first time jitters, everything went smoothly. The memories of chartering and our own initiation were so vividly remembered.

Two money-making projects were organized during the fall semester by the chapter. One was the second annual Manhattan Merchants Day which raised several hundred dollars for the University band. The other was a wood cutting project from which proceeds went to improvement to the house and to the national project.

The brothers at Delta Chi Chapter would like to recognize and congratulate our Chapter Advisor, Mike Wamsley, on receiving the Chapter Advisor of the year Award at Pi Kapp College . We are all very proud of him.

U.C.A. ASSOCIATE CHAPTER University of Central Arkansas Our chapter here at the University of Central Arkansas is clearing up technicalities and finalizing plans in anticipation of a February

chartering date. We are giving the Greek system a much needed "kick in the pants" and, with the help of others, will hopefully restore the Greek system to one of the dominate forces on the campus. We are writing recruitment and pledge programs and have finished our Constitution.

Recemtly a few of the brothers traveled to Memphis and attended the area conclave held at the Gamma Delta house at Memphis State University . We received beneficial help and suggestions for the development of our chapter and really enjoyed meeting brothers from Gamma Delta and Delta Nu at Western Kentucky University .

LONGWOOD COLLEGE Farmville, Virginia On September 6, 1978, the Longwood College campus in Farmville, VA ., welcomed their second male fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi. Twelve young men then began to shape and mold a new organization which now has 24 members and growing each week. The fraternity has been busy this semester with fundraisers, our Constitution, and with plans for next semester.

During Oktoberfest, the fraternity sold silk screen posters that were made by some of the members of the fraternity. The sale was a success and all of the posters were sold .

Keith Moore, Archon, was commended by Longwood's highest honorary group, Chi, for his work with the fraternity and Oktoberfest.

For Founder's Day, the fraternity will be going to church that morning and will be eating lunch together . For dinner a beer and pizza party is schedulted at the Cabin for the fraternity brothers and their guests .

We are well represented in campus activities by Brian Cochran, T.C. Jones, Jr., and Penn Gorman on the varsity soccer team; Scott Lyle on the baseball team; Keith Moore in Student Government.

SACRAMENTO CHAPTER California State University Our activities have just been getting off the ground. We participated in the University "Greek Bowl", a round-robin flag football tournament and in our first game we were matched against SAE . After a hard and bloody battle, the two-week old colony of young Pi Kapps emerged as the victor by a score of 7-4 .

The touchdown was scored in traditional NFL fashion, a two yard run and a pile of dust, but the Pi Kapp running back scampered into the end zone for six points. The win was held up by a last second goal line stand which kept the opponents out of the end zone and preserved the victory. A loss in the semi-finals stopped our progress but we left the field satisfied with our performance.

We have been progressing along at a fairly good pace. We are becoming active in the IFC as of this moment and are joining committees in the I FC. We hope to continue our success, especially with our first chance to speak with prospective new members next semester. We are all looking forward to the continuing challenge and enjoyment of the Pi Kappa Phi life.

Participation and involvement in activities outside of the fraternity chapter is a growing and learning experience. All across the country Pi Kapps are involved in both student government and interfraternity activities. We praise these individuals for their political contributions on their respective campuses.

Deep in .Arlington, Texas lies Delta Psi Chapter A small, but impressive group of officers from the Pi Kapp National Office arrived in Arlington, Texas Nov. 16 to make final preparation for the installation of a new chapter at the University of Texas at Arlington.

The installation, which took place Friday, Nov. 17, was conducted by Fred Diulus, National Secretary as chartering officer; Mike Wamsley, Kansas State Advisor, his assistant; Durward W. Owen, Executive Director and Tom Tott, a Field Secretary.

The installing officers were assisted by initiating teams from Beta Chi (East Texas State University) and Alpha Gamma (Oklahoma University).

By combining their numbers, the two chapters formed two initiation teams.

Twenty-three pledges became members that night, and the new chapter was chartered as Delta Psi. "We all had a real good time, and you could feel the brotherhood around you," said Chris Norman, Archon, Beta Chi. "We also noticed the fervent spirit of the new Pi Kapps. They seemed to be ready to conquer the world."

A banquet was held at 6: 30 p.m. Saturday in the Hereford Student Center at UTA. Dinner dates were provided for Beta Chi and Alpha Gamma by Delta Zeta Sorority in cooperation with Delta Psi Chapter.

After dinner, the new chapter was presented with its charter, and it also received a commemorative plaque from Beta Chi, its big brother chapter.

The banquet was followed by a champagne reception at the Pi Kapp House at 503 South Oak in Arlington.
