LEADERSHIP/EDUCATION PUBLICATION

WINTER 1986

The Delta Sigma-Bowling Green State University delegation listened intently as legal liabilities were discussed.

A/VA/T Conference

Frank Havard, Area V Governor, made his presentation on time management to the Charlotte attendees.

Pat Danehy, Archon of Delta Zeta Chapter at Appalachian State University, found the program thought-provoking.

Art Quickenton, Area II Governor, provided leadership direction to attendees in Charlotte.

One young leader of his chapter summed up in one comment the growing popularity of leadership conferences such as this year's Archon/Vice Archon/Treasurer Conferences. "I can not believe that my chapter has never had enough brains to attend this conference before."

Held in Charlotte, North Carolina and St. Louis, Missouri on back-to-back weekends, the 1986 Archon/Vice Archon/ Treasurer Conferences saw record attendance. Ninety of the Fraternity's 103 chapters were in attendance at either the January 10-12 conference in Charlotte, or the January 17-19 conference in St. Louis.

Some of the attendees came from as far away as Oregon State, others from as close as the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Some were Archons of struggling chapters, others from traditional powerhouses. As one Vice Archon commented, "I've met so many great guys that I'll keep in touch with over the next year."

"It's always great to see Pi Kapps from other universities and truly get a feeling that we are a 'national' organization," claimed an attendee. A "feeling" for the national organization which Pi Kappa Phi represents was indeed the message being put forth by the facilitators.

The event, which is an activity of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, subjected undergraduate attendees to a rigorous seminar schedule. Facilitators spoke on subjects from personal motivation to the latest issues that face national fraternities today. From 8:00 a.m. to well into the evening, Archons, Vice Archons and Treasurers came together to share, as well as gain their fraternity experience.

The facilitators, which were made up of Pi Kappa Phi alumni near the respective areas of the conferences, provided viewpoints from different areas of business, education, and also different

eras. Administrative Staff and former staff members led discussions in the areas of chapter management, such as recruitment, finances, and member education.

Many of the members found that sharing ideas and group discussions with their fellow undergraduate members was a highlight of the program.

Another major message of the conference was concerning the professionalism with which a group of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity members can come together for three days of Fraternity business.

"The entire weekend was a class act," according to one attendee, "quality accommodations, food, and company. The speakers were all exceptional." Another young man asserted, "It was an excellent workshop overall -- fine facilities and a fine staff that was so superb that there are probably none better in the nation."

Durward Owen, Executive Director of Kappa Phi, felt that the conference was Pi very successful. He especially commented on the professionalism of the students in attendance. "I felt that this year's A/VA/T conferences provided me with some of the most positive experiences I have ever had with undergraduate members in my years with Pi Kappa Phi." Those who were representing their chapters resoundingly felt that it was a beneficial event for their chapters to have someone in attendance, but maybe even more importantly, that it was a great experience for themselves as individuals. "I learned not only about leadership in the Fraternity, but also how to relate my Fraternity experience to real life," added one leader of his A/VA/T experience. If he is indicative of all of the 170 attendees, the goal of the conference was attained and the Fraternity can hope to continue developing leadership through efforts such as A/VA/T conferences.

Donegan Root from Epsilon lota-UNC-Greensboro, and Ted Newman of Duke Associate Chapter worked together in the opening ice-breaker.

PI KAPPA PHI ISSUES

"Pit*fall, noun. 1. a lightly covered pit used as a trap for animals. 2. an unsuspected difficulty, danger, or error that one may fall into."

Today's society is in the midst of an explosion in litigation. While major industry and the health fields garner most of the public attention, no segment of our society remains unscathed by the immerging phenomena of filing a law suit to correct any injury, instead of correcting any wrong.

The Fraternity world has been hit by this litigation explosion. We can all be sure that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg, with the everchanging attitude towards alcohol use in this country, combined with the intolerance for hazing in any way, shape, or form. Fraternities and sororities are squarely in the sights of trial attorneys as targets for the recovery of damages sustained by their clients.

This article capsulizes many of the areas of exposure facing the fraternity world. Both student members and alumni must be aware of these areas and the consequences which can result from our ignorance or our ignoring potential problems.

LCOHOL

One of the earliest reported English lawsuits was filed by a tavern owner against rowdy carpenters who visited his tavern and drank until they "did hammer and saw at random!" Ever since, people have been trying to hold others accountable for the consequences of alcohol abuse. It has become the single greatest legal danger to some fraternity chapters and individual members.

There is an argument to be made that all college-age men and women have been unfairly used as scapegoats for the carnage caused by drunk drivers of all ages.

However, such arguments have not prevailed, and all states now, or will soon, have a minimum age of twenty-one for the consumption of alcohol.

Illegal possession of alcohol by a minor is a criminal misdemeanor. Serving or selling alcohol to a minor is a particularly serious offense in the eyes of a large and growing number of cities and

states. A "sale" can involve a party where there is supposedly "free" alcohol, but where there is a cover charge. In such cases, both the chapter and individual officers may be criminally prosecuted and civilly sued.

Where a minor is involved, the law presumes that he cannot hold his liquor, and anyone who contributes to his intoxication, even by providing only a small portion of the alcohol consumed, can be held liable for damages caused by the minor's drunk driving, accidental injury to himself, or violent injury to others.

The slogan that, "Brothers don't let brothers drive drunk," is a useful reminder of our moral and legal responsibilities to our members. But legal liabilities often arise where non-members or guests are involved.

In Ohio, a fraternity held a party at a local hotel and told the hotel's bartender not to check anyone for proof of age. A minor, who was a pledge, drove home intoxicated and wrecked his car, leaving his date paralyzed. The chapter paid a large settlement in the lawsuit.

The fraternity in the Ohio case knew that minors would be drinking and that they would be driving home. The fact that the bartender was not a member of the fraternity would be no defense. He was their employee or agent.

The social host could also be sued and prosecuted for serving alcohol to someone who is already obviously intoxicated.

Arranging an "open" bar, or unlimited access to alcohol which you serve yourself, or "chugging" contests and other drinking games, or pressuring others to "drink up" or "have one for the road," are all open invitations to legal liability.

However, if a person attends a "bring your own" party, at which his host does not sell, provide, or serve any alcohol, then the host is generally not responsible for checking the age or sobriety of a guest. But if any member of the host chapter promotes drunkenness, the result could be legal liability for what the intoxicated person does.

Everyone is familiar with the guest or friend who is a problem drinker. Every time he drinks, he gets drunk or gets into a fight. If his host knows his propensity for alcohol abuse and related violence, the host may be liable for injuries to a third party.

When such fights occur, a host may say, "take it outside," believing that this absolves him of responsibility. Actually, the opposite may be true. If you served the alcohol, you must maintain control

over your function and premises, and prevent intoxicated persons from attacking others. In a Pennsylvania case, the plaintiff was assaulted by a drunk minor who was given alcohol at a fraternity function. The chapter was civilly sued and criminally prosecuted.

One of the most common examples of fraternity hazing involves pressuring pledges or associates to "get drunk."

They are usually minors and inexperienced drinkers; therefore, the chapter risks criminal and civil liability if injury or death results from: drunk driving, falling, alcohol poisoning, internal bleeding or inability to avoid dangers like balconies, swimming pools, traffic, stairways. In a recent case, in which a fraternity pledge was forced to drink so much alcohol that he strangled on his own vomit, a jury awarded $250,000 in damages against the entire chapter.

How can you reduce the risks of host liquor liability? Know the law. Ask an alumnus who is a lawyer to brief you on local laws. Utilize dry rush. Few campuses go back to alcoholic rush after trying dry rush, because it's cheaper and easier to find rushees who are more interested in brotherhood than booze. If you know a practice is wrong, stop it, and don't accept stupid excuses like, "But it's a tradition!" (So is suing people.)

Never sell alcohol. Adopt a policy to guide your social chairman and have it checked by the chapter advisor or an alumnus who is an attorney. Don't laugh off the "clumsy drunk," because if he falls, he could take your charter with him. Provide safe transportation using a buddy system, van or bus. Limit consumption and quantities served. Stop drinking games at any function. Hold private parties for members and guests only.

Get the keys, even if it means calling the police, to stop a drunk from driving.

Use the Executive Committee to discipline problem drinkers. Bar the habitually drunk or violent person altogether.

Keep the party orderly, but never use excessive or unreasonable force to do so.

If the party is "out of hand," cut off the alcohol, but don't just evict people before they have had a chance to sober up. Make sure a ranking officer or responsible alumnus is present and sober in case problems arise. Bring your own, don't serve. Last, but definitely not least, abstain. Who said you have to drink to have fun? Use your imagination and create a theme party or activity that doesn't need alcohol to be fun. Your lawyer will thank you in the morning!

H

AZING

There is ample legal authority for devastating lawsuits against a chapter, its officers, alumni, the house coarporadon, and individuals who perpetrate or condone hazing. In addition, the number of states with criminal statutes specifically against hazing continues to grow.

Imposition of either civil or criminal penalties for hazing is certain to lead to loss of your charter.

Even if a perpetrator of hazing succeeds in avoiding a jail sentence, any fines or costly attorney's fees in criminal court will not be covered by any insurance whatsoever.

Similarly, if the hazing victim sues for monetary damages in a civil court, the hazer usually discovers that liability insurance will not cover him if the injury is deemed "intentional," because the hazer knew or should have known the risk of injury he was causing by hazing someone, even though he did not want the victim to be injured.

Chapters which have lost their charters for hazing are seldom allowed to return to campus before all current members have graduated, regardless of whether they directly participated in hazing.

Definitions of "hazing," in statutes and university judicial codes typically include psychological as well as physical abuse. Pressuring younger members to consume too much alcohol, humiliation, sleep deprevation, exposure to the elements or to loud noise, pranks, theft of souvenirs, reckless endangerment, kidnaps, paddling, forced consumption of food, and calisthenics—each of these has been the basis for legal liability for chapters and individuals, regardless of whether there were physical injuries.

There is a growing consensus that, "boys will be boys," is simply no excuse for the reckless and senseless practice of hazing. Both the actual hazer and his brothers face the collective risk of destruction of their chapter and the personal individual risk of a substantial judgment for monetary damages against each member, as well as a criminal arrest record which may ruin prospects for future employment, military service, or graduate or professional school.

D RUGS & SEARCHES CP00

Po (1)P

The possession, use, distribution, and manufacture of illegal drugs are serious criminal offenses. Yet, because many students today view drugs as either more "socially acceptable" or as a purely "personal" matter, serious felonies cornmitted on chapter premises are sometimes condoned and ignored by members who are personally against drug use. Unfortunately, the member who looks the other way actually has his head buried in the sand! The user or distributor of illegal drugs endangers his roommate and his entire chapter in several ways: First, under the doctrine of "constructive possession," a person could be convictea of possessing drugs which actually belong to and are used exclusively by his roommate or a casual visitor, be"Cause the drugs are found in an area of his room, apartment or car which is accessible to and used by others. Ironically, the roommate or passenger who does not use drugs could, nevertheless, be arrested and convicted because he cannot overcome the permissible inference that he, too, possessed the drugs.

Second, under the doctrine of "plain view," a police officer who is lawfully present (e.g. the officer is answering a noise complaint) may legally seize any illegal drugs in plain view and arrest the occupants of the room or car.

Third, under the criminal nuisance laws, chapter officers and house corporation officers can be charged with maintaining a house, apartment or other building in which illegal drugs are distributed, stored, concealed or habitually used.

The label "nuisance" may suggest a minor offense. Actually, the maximum penalty may range up to twenty years imprisonment.

Fourth, some students naively assume that unless they actually allow an officer to enter the house, the police are unlikely to get enough evidence to convict. There are two flaws in this assumption: (1) Police routinely use students as informants and legally use a "controlled" purchase by a student informant to establish the distribution or use of drugs. The defendant may trust the informant as a friend or regular customer without realizing that the police can easily persuade a person to cooperate in exchange for dropping or reducing other charges against him or her. The familiar defense of drug defendants that it was "entrapment" is almost always a failure. A search warrant would be unnecessary and the police would have already made their case and need not find any more evidence to arrest and convict.

(2) Even if a legal loophole permits the accused to escape conviction, attorneys' fees in criminal cases, which insurance does not cover at all, routinely run into tens of thousands of dollars for a jury trial. You, your family, and the chapter may win the case, but go broke! In addition, the existence of an arrest record for illegal drugs is usually devastating to a student's future prospects for decent employment or graduate school. It goes almost without saying that a successful police raid on a chapter house would result in severe sanctions by both the university and the Administrative Office.

Individuals have been expelled from school and the fraternity, and charters have been revoked. Such penalties will continue to be the norm.

NEGLIGENCE In general, you owe a duty of reasonable care to your members and guests to maintain and operate your chapter house, premises, and activities in a safe manner.

The typical lawsuit involves negligent, not

intentional or deliberate, injury to others.

If you know or should know of unsafe conditions and ignore them, you can hardly blame an innocent victim of your negligence for wanting you to pay through the nose!

Your chapter's insurance will not cover claims made by members against the Fraternity. If you think your chapter and personal budgets are "too tight" now to fix that faulty wiring, defective furnace, or broken stairstep, where are you going to get the money to pay for a lawsuit naming the chapter and individual members? You cannot afford to put it off. Fix it, or risk the consequences.

NEIGHBORHOOD RELATIONS The most underrated risk of legal liability for fraternities with off-campus housing is in the area of local laws and regulations. The problem arises from chapters which become bad neighbors by throwing noisy parties until the early morning hours; littering their grounds and surrounding properties; using rude or obscene language with neighbors; letting their houses deteriorate into eyesores; causing parking problems in the area; or responding to complaints with verbal abuse, retaliation, or indifference.

What can your neighbors possibly do about it? Plenty! They can put you out of business, in any one of several ways: First, the zoning laws can be changed to make a fraternity house a "nonconforming use." This means you could not renovate, improve, repair, or expand any part of your house, from the front steps to the chimney, without asking for a permit, which the city can freely deny you. This restriction was recently enacted in the county in which dozens of fraternities at the University of Maryland at College Park are located. The neighbors were fed up and they fought back.

"There is a growing consensus that,'Boys will be boys,' is simply no excuse for reckless and senseless behavior..."

Second, "the power to tax is the power to destroy." If a local government is tired of fraternity misconduct, it can adopt special property, excise, or income taxes, as well as heavy licensing and inspection fees, intended to ruin you financially. Berkeley, California, has already started doing it.

Third, it is likely that every fraternity has some violations, however technical, of local building codes. If municipal officials think you have worn out your welcome in their town, they can send the building inspector or fire marshal to your house and present you with a list of mandatory house improvements with a staggering price tag.

Finally, strict enforcement of local laws dealing with parking, noise, or serving alcohol can be used to continually harass you.

If your chapter is a good neighbor, does that make you feel smugly secure?

What about the other fraternities? If the city enacts punitive laws, all chapters will be affected. Next time another fraternity gets the neighborhood in an uproar, you cannot afford to laugh it off. Raise your concerns with the IFC or the university.

Otherwise, the last laugh could be on you!

FOR ISCIPLINEOFFENSE DSTATUS Our fundamental freedom of association affords the chapter great leeway in determining who shall become or remain a member. However, there are limits to this valuable right where disciplinary proceedings are involved.

A useful analogy is provided by criminal cases. No state may constitutionally enact a criminal statute which punishes a man for the "status crime" of being a thief, a drug addict, or a homosexual. It would be cruel and unusual punishment of a person for what he is, as opposed to what he does. At the same time, there are constitutionally. valid criminal statutes punishing theft; possession, distribution, or manufacture of illegal drugs and related paraphernalia; and the commission of homosexual acts, even between consenting adults.

In the Fraternity, a chapter may not lawfully punish a member for the "status" of being a thief, a drug addict, or a homosexual. Nevertheless, the commission of the related criminal acts, on fraternity premises or at any function connected with the Fraternity, is a basis for any lawful penalty, up to and including expulsion. In addition, a criminal conviction in a court of law usually can be a valid basis for discipline by the chapter, even if the crime was totally unrelated to the Fraternity. Obviously, the potential for legal complications arises from wrongful discipline; therefore, any chapter should consult the Administrative Office whenever such a difficult problem arises, before the disciplinary hearing takes place.

& THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY DEFAMATION There are many types of misconduct by an individual member which may cause the chapter to intervene and try to have a constructive influence on his behavior. Drinking or drug problems, sexual misconduct, psychological disorders, academic failure, financial problems, criminal conduct, and a wide range of other serious problems may come to the chapter's attention.

For example, a few brothers become concerned that an associate member has a serious drinking or other drug problem which he refuses to admit. Instead of confidentially taking the matter to the Executive Committee or chapter advisor, the concerned brothers try to force the issue by telling the associate's parents, friends, or university officials.

That action could be the basis of a lawsuit for invasion of privacy, even though the remarks made about the associate were completely true and they were made with the best of intentions.

A related problem is that of defamation: the making or repetition of false accusations against another person.

For example, at a private chapter meeting held to vote on association or initiation, a member recklessly states an unfounded rumor about the candidate's character which causes the candidate to be voted down, and results in the spreading of the rumor by other members.

These parallel issues, invasion of privacy and defamation, highlight the need for every member to treat the reputations and personal problems of other members or rushees with confidentiality.

A member's personal problems should not be ignored! Instead, members must make certain that their legitimate concerns are privately expressed to the big brother, Executive Cornmittee or alumni advisors, and that no public discussion or breach of confidentiality is tolerated.

F ILING REQUIREMENTS Too often a chapter officer receives forms from a governmental agency and simply postpones doing anything about them. The Internal Revenue Service can impose a fine of $10 a day, up to a total of $5,000, for late or incomplete filing of Form 990. Similar penalties may apply to forms required under local corporation laws.

If those forms are languishing in a desk drawer instead of being completed or referred to the appropriate alumni officer, the problem will not simply go away. Often the form is not a very complex one, just a nuisance. The failure to file, however, may be very costly.

WHEN LEGAL CLAIMS ARISE It is an understandable response for an individual to be reluctant to tell others that a legal claim or charge has been, or may about to be, made against him or the chapter. This can be a disatrous mistake, permanently prejudicing your legal rights. If a criminal or civil claim arises, whether or not it is legitimate in your eyes, you must overcome any apprehensions about what others will think of you, and immediately enlist the aid of your chapter advisor, house corporation, other alumni officers, the Administrative Office and your insurance company. If you fail to tell them, they cannot possibly help you protect your rights.

After an incident occurs which might lead to a criminal charge or a civil lawsuit, designate only one responsible spokesman, preferably a lawyer, to speak for the chapter. Inform your members that absolutely no one else may discuss the incident with any non-member, whatsoever. Belligerent denials, by misinformed and unauthorized spokesmen, often aggravate the situation and lead to greater penalties.

F

REEDOM OF ASSOCIATION_

Some very good news concerning fraternities came from the recent ruling of the United States Supreme Court in a case challenging the policy of the Jaycees that only men could become voting members or officers; women could become associate members and attend all functions. The Jaycees were forced to change that policy because they are an otherwise non-selective organization, open to the general public. However, fraternities neatly fit into the category of groups which the court said have a constitutionally protected "freedom of association" because such groups are relatively small, are highly selective in membership policies, and conduct important functions in privacy.

Similarly, Congress enacted a federal statute against sex discrimination in education, popularly known as "Title IX," which specifically states that its provisions not apply to the activities of fraternities and sororities.

It is apparent that the Supreme Court and Congress agree that members of fraternities and sororities have a fundamental legal right to freedom of association. Such organizations are formed for the mutual benefit of members of one sex and are not intended to prejudice the rights of the other sex. They do not practice "invidious" or unfair discrimination.

THE PI KAPPA PHI FOUNDATION)

Foundation as a vehicle for fundraising.

John D. Carroll, who lived in Lexington, South Carolina, was the chairman of the Foundation. I asked John early in 1960 if the Foundation was a non-profit organization. He said it was.

I called a local IRS agent and asked him if he could give me the status of the Devereaux D. Rice Memorial Foundation (that was the name of the Foundation at that time). He indicated no such organization existed.

I then went to see John D. Carroll and he presented me a letter from W. Bernard Jones, Jr., an earlier Executive Secretary of the Fraternity, indicating that indeed the Foundation was a non-profit taxexempt organization. However, it gave no indication that an IRS ruling had ever been sought or obtained.

I went to Columbia, South Carolina and met with the district IRS people, who assured me that a thorough search of their records indicated also that this particular foundation did not exist as an approved exempt organization. A few months later, while in Washington, DC, I checked with Senator Olin Johnson's office and Brother Johnson agreed to further explore this with the IRS and report back to me. Very quickly he reported that we had a problem. The Foundation

How the Foundation got its tax exemption

By Durward W. Owen Shortly after becoming Executive Director of the Fraternity, I made an analysis of the Fraternity and determined, among other things, two important facts. The first was that the alumni of the Fraternity were its most important asset. A few years latp. I still have not changed that opinion.

The second observation made was that the Foundation was the Fraternity's most important vehicle for the involvement of its most important asset, its alumni. Likewise, nothing has happened to change that observation.

The fact that the Foundation has not realized that full actuality continues to be perhaps my major concern for Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

This early observation caused me to quickly determine the status of the

had never filed for exemption, and therefore had been operating illegally.

I went again to Columbia, South Carolina and secured from the IRS the necessary forms for filing. I did this having waited for several months for the trustees themselves to proceed.

Lacking their activity, I knew that sooner or later the issue had to be forced.

I employed a lady in Sumter, South Carolina, who for $50.00, did the typing.

Without legal training, and actually not knowing at all what I was doing, I proceeded to fill in the various forms and to prepare in typewritten format the documents requested by the IRS. I filed this in the name of the Foundation as Secretary to the Foundation. Very quickly the IRS responded, indicating that we had been operating illegally and we must have a review of the organization. This we did, and the IRS did indeed fine the Devereaux D. Rice Foundation $3,600 for having operated illegally for the length of its existence.

However, they did also at the same time give us information needed to proceed for renting and for the securing of a 501(c)(3) exemption. This was done; however, the second filing was rejected by the IRS for various minor and technical reasons. I again went to Washington,

DC, where Senator Olin Johnson and Congressman George Grant and I went to the Director of the non-profit sector of the 'Internal Revenue Services office, and met with him personally. Following that brief meeting we were given information as to what needed to be done to comply.

I returned to Sumter and again prepared the necessary documentation. The Foundation had to change its name from the Devereaux D. Rice Memorial Foundation to more fully identify its relationship to the Fraternity. It then became the Pi Kappa Phi Memorial Foundation.

Among other requirements of the IRS was that the Foundation stop extending loans to a local alumni housing corporation for the purpose of housing. The indication was that this was a "father/son" relationship, and was not sufficiently at arms length to satisfy the various tax requirements. (This led to the creation of Pi Kappa Phi Properties.)

On March 13, 1964 the Foundation was finally recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization, fully eligible for receiving donations, which were in turn deductable on the tax filings of the person or organization making the contribution.

Now is the time to begin to search for sources to pay for your education, or if you have a college student of your own, their education.

How to contribute $100,000 to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation for only a few hundred dollars It costs very little to make a meaningful and substantial gift to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation through life insurance. A new policy providing many thousands of dollars in benefits can often be acquired for only a few hundred dollars a year in premium payments.

It may not be necessary to purchase a new policy. Almost everyone has some amount of insurance coverage already in effect. Often the coverage is in the form of a policy acquired to meet needs which no longer exist.

Perhaps you purchased a life insurance policy when your children were younger to provide for their education.

Now, years later, you find that your children are educated and financially independent. Or, you may have purchased a policy to assist you in retirement. But your financial situation is now such that you no longer need it. It could be that your employer has provided you with an adequate retirement plan, or simply that your financial circumstances have changed.

You may be among those who purchased an insurance policy to pay off the mortgage on the family home in the event of premature death. Or, you may have purchased a policy to pay estate taxes, or for a business purpose, or for a multitude of other needs which no longer exist. Any one of these situations may provide an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful and substantial gift to Pi Kappa Phi with little or no actual out-of-pocket expense.

A gift to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation in the form of life insurance is made even easier through the charitable income tax deduction. For example, if you name the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation as the owner and beneficiary of an existing policy, you will receive a charitable income tax deduction approximately equal to the cash value of the policy contributed. In ad-

dition, you will receive a charitable deduction each year for the continued payment of premiums, should you wish to continue paying the premiums.

There are numerous ways of making gifts through life insurance. What is discussed here is only an introduction.

For information on how you might apply this general information to your specific situation, contact your life insurance agent or other estate planning professional, or call Durward Owen, Executive Director, at 704-523-6000.

We would be pleased to provide you, your life insurance agent, your attorney, or other advisor with additional information and be of assistance in any way possible. 67

How big and good it is!

By Scott E. Evans Often, moments when one actually feels how big and how good this thing we call Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity really is, are allowed to slip by as a result of the immediacies of the day.

The drive to Charlotte, North Carolina's Douglas Municipal Airport is a short one of only ten minutes from the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office. On the weekend of National Council meetings, it is a drive that is made frequently by administrative staff members as they pick up the incoming Council members arriving from different parts of the country — and a drive made again as each of them departs.

On that road, when you are chauffering the big blue station wagon with license tag "PI KAPP", and the sounds of Pi Kapp Randy Owen and his band "Alabama" come on the radio; and you are about to pick up, National Council member and President of Vincennes University, Dr. Phil Summers — that's when you feel "how big" and "how good" this thing we call Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity is.

When gathered in the conference room (which was dedicated in memory of Elmer Jost, a great Pi Kapp of Chi Chap-

ter at Stetson University), the table surrounded by the whole National Council — this is also when you feel "how big" and "how good" Pi Kappa Phi is.

It is not the fact, that as you look around the table you see a successful real estate principal from the beautiful home of our founders, Charleston, South Carolina; a president of a large civil engineering firm in New Jersey; the president of a large midwestern university; a dean of students from an even larger southeastern university; a Phi Beta Kappa graduate sculpture and architect; a fine lawyer; a federal judge; a CEO of a large northeastern hospital; and the Executive Director of Pi Kappa Phi for 26 years. It is what you hear as they weigh the issues at hand with as much vigor and concern as would the undergraduates they represent. It is the meshing together of these different men, with their diverse talents, that makes one realize how big and how good this thing we call Pi Kappa Phi is.

Men like Steve DePalma, National Treasurer, with his adept business mind and knowledge of what goes into the "bottom line," working side-by-side with Thomas Sayre, National Chaplain, an architect and a great thinker of our

Pat Swindall, US Congressman from Lambda Chapter

By Charlie Rowland The week before he was elected to the US Congress, Lambda brother Pat Swindall came from Atlanta, in the rain, to talk with his local chapter. The event was the Homecoming banquet for Lambda in the fall of 1984.

One might have recalled an election a quarter of a century earlier — a handsome young man with a pregnant wife, running against a shoe-in, and defeating him by a very few votes. Not only is there a generational gap, but in addition, there is a party difference. The earlier young man was John Kennedy, Democrat, who won in 1960.

The second young man is as staunchly Republican as Kennedy was Democratic.

But there are similarities and kinship beyond the good looks and pregnant wives.

Both of the men had early successes and an early determination to succeed.

Pat Swindall, for example, was educated in the public schools of DeKalb County.

He graduated in 1972 from the University of Georgia with a degree in political science, and in 1975 earned a law degree

from the University of Georgia School of Law. While attending the University, Pat served as Archon of Lambda Chapter. He was also Student Body President and the only student named to the Georgia Athletic Board. He was also named Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities and selected for membership in the Sphinx Honor Society, Order of Greek Horsemen, Omicron Delta Kappa, Blue Key, Gridiron Secret Society and other campus honor societies.

His law career began with the Atlanta firm of Heyman and Sizemore, where he has been a partner since 1979. He also owns a retail furniture store which he established in 1978.

Pat ran as a Republican against fiveterm incumbent Elliott Levitas, defeating him in a close race on November 6, 1984.

As a Representative from Georgia's Fourth District, Pat now serves on the Committee on Government Operations and on the House Judiciary Committee.

Pat is a member and Sunday school teacher at Dunwoody Community

Flying Pi Kapps

The flying Pi Kapps from left to right are: Lt. William B. Russell, Lt. Laurence S. Turrin, and Capt. Gerry Wegendt.

They came from very different chapters and backgrounds. One from Alpha Epsilon Chapter at the University of Florida; one from Gamma Chapter at Troy State; and another from Alpha Rho Chapter at West Virginia University.

Three Pi Kapps flying high for the United

States Air Force, while they provided service for their Fraternity.

Lt. Laurence S. Turrin, an alumnus of Gamma Gamma; Lt. William B. Russell, an alumnus of Alpha Rho; and Capt.

Gerry Wegendt of Alpha Epsilon banded together and played a key role in the sur-

Present at the January 23 meeting of the National Council (from left to right): PUSH Board Chairman Ed Bennett; National President David Jaffee; National Treasurer Steve DePalma; National Secretary Dr. Phillip Summers; National Member-at-Large Jerry Brewer; Executive Director Durward Owen; National Chaplain Thomas Sayre; Foundation Chairman Ted Scharfenstein; National Vice-President Judge James Turk. (Not pictured, National Chancellor Nathan Hightower.)

Fraternity.

Men like Dr. Phil Summers, National Secretary, with his insight into university administration and what makes undergraduates "tick," working and creating with Jerry Brewer, National Member-atLarge, sharing his views as a fellow university administrator.

Men like Judge James Turk, National Vice-President, who can provide the type of legal background with the help of

National Chancellor Nathan Hightower, that the Fraternity needs in these times of litigation.

It is just watching men like David Jaffee, and men like Ted Scharfenstein, Chairman of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, sharing years of friendship and brotherhood with Executive Director Durward Owen, that make you realize how big and how good this thing we call Pi Kappa Phi can be.

Church, and is also active in many local organizations. He and his wife Kim have one child, Kelley, and live in Dunwoody, Georgia.

Pat's success has been consistent throughout his career. His humor must be seen to be appreciated. "They remember my name," says the candidate with the name Swindall. A politician who can overcome the connotations, indicates a man who can take a joke. He not only overcomes it, he capitalizes on it with his newsletter, The Swindall Sheet. That publication furthermore demonstrates not only his beliefs and actions, but also his human nature and humor. Photographs show him with his daughter, both smeared with shaving cream. Another shows both of them tired after an active day, asleep at last, with tired daughter on top of tired and sleeping daddy.

Pat is a point of pride for the Fraternity and his home chapter at Lambda. His record of success was perhaps encouraged by the opportunities for leadership he found in the Fraternity. The fact that he took time from his busy and close campaign to come "home" to Lambda just days before the election shows his continuing interest. We look forward to more great things from this remarkable Pi Kapp alumnus.

vival of the Texas Tech Associate Chapter. "We were informed that Texas Tech had an associate chapter. Upon contacting the chapter, we were told that there were only three members left of an original 35. We immediately took an active role in getting this neophyte chapter on its feet," said Lt. Turrin.

Lt. Turrin graduated in 1984 from Troy State after four years as a Pi Kapp there. A member of the Air Force ROTC and the Arnold Air Society, Lt. Turrin said he still remained active with the Fraternity. "One thing can be said, and that is sooner or later Pi Kapp Phi will need you," he added, "it may be taking an executive officer position or helping out as an alumnus."

Lt. William B. Russell, also a 1984 graduate, but of West Virginia University, came in contact with Pi Kappa Phi through the WVU Air Force ROTC after transferring there from the University of Delaware. "When I graduated I received a commission as a Second Lieutenant and started undergraduate pilot training at Reese A.F.B. in 1984. That's when I met Larry, and he told me of the opportunity to get involved with the Texas Tech Associate Chapter."

Capt. Gerry Wegendt, an Alpha Epsilon alumnus of 1979, entered the

United States Air Force and was stationed at the Pentagon. He then entered pilot training in 1981. He is currently an instructor pilot, flying the high altitude, speed of sound,T-38.

Of their effort at Texas Tech, Lt. Turrin says, "Throughout the first year we recruited 14 more members and started such things as a Big Brother program, active rush seminars, area conclave attendance and had a rush retreat, which proved to be a deciding factor. The chapter picked up 25 more members."

Lt. Turin is now stationed at McGuire A.F.B. in New Jersey. Lt. Russell is stationed at Dover A.F.B. in Delaware; and Capt. Wegendt is currently an instructor at Reese A.F.B. in Texas. For a brief time these three men from different chapters came together when the Fraternity called.

The time they devoted, and the example they chose to set for the Texas Tech Associate Chapter will long be remembered.

Lt. Turrin said, when referring to the Fraternity, that sooner or later Pi Kappa Phi will need you. "My time to help Pi Kappa Phi came," he directed towards alumni. "Remember that when your name is called on, and answer it with great enthusiasm because the rewards are great."

PUSH MAMA NANNER'S CHILDREN

A portrait of a PICS family Ricky was in his boots and braces and, like most days, was spending a little time strapped in a standing position to help strengthen legs twisted by cerebral palsy.

Suddenly, the autistic child let out a primitive wail.

"Stand tall, Ricky, stand tall," urged Mama Nanner, and Ricky stopped his wailing, retreated back into his reality.

"He was being kept in a wheelchair in a home for the aged before he came to live with me," said Mama Nanner. "Now he can walk and feed himself with a little help from his friends."

Again, Ricky let out a cry of pain or confusion. Somewhere inside that body a little boy seemed to be lost. Mama Nanner went to him and took him in her arms and with her love cut through what-

ever chemical or physical barriers separate the autistic from the rest of us.

"He was put up for adoption the day he was born," said Mama Nanner.

Paul, Mama Nanner's own 16-year-old son who suffers from severe cerebral palsy, lay on the floor watching, occasionally lifting up to smile and talk with his eyes.

In the kitchen, Patsy, a hydrocephalic teen-age girl, and Patti Sue, a 46-year-old retarded woman, were having an extra cup of coffee, looking over a collection of photographs of places they'd been, things they'd seen, people they knew.

Daryl, a teen-age boy with cerebral palsy, was looking for a can of WD-40 to use to lubricate his leg braces before he went outside to push his firetruck across the yard with one of his crutches.

And Jamie, a deaf and autistic boy, walked up and gingerly felt our hair, before stepping back, tilting his head to the side and making a "W00000-W00000" sound as if a train of thought was passing through.

"This is a real interesting home because of the variety of functionings," said Jack White. "All these children have made very good progress, and Mama Nanner does this as a single parent."

White is the director of PUSH Individualized Care Services, a foster care agency licensed in 1981 to find homes for physically and mentally challenged children and adults who would otherwise be languishing in institutions.

The organization has licensed 15 homes within a 50-mile radius of Morganton, North Carolina to care for 30 children and adults.

"The trend is toward getting people out of institutions, and there is funding now—several ways to get a child or adult out of an institution and into foster

care," said White.

Mama Nanner, also known as Nina Davis, was licensed in 1983, after a long battle to assert the rights of her own son through some very active, difficult times.

After his birth in Tennessee, the failure of doctors to diagnose Paul's condition dragged on for eight months.

"They'd say 'He's just a little slow' or something like that," said Ms. Davis.

"Living in a dream world like that is ridiculous."

Finally, a doctor sat her down and told her the best thing she could do "is keep him home and love him."

But she had to work, which meant special education and institutionalization for Paul.

"I found out that services for the handicapped are non-existent in Tennessee," she said. "Paul was not getting the individualized care he needed and everyday I'd come home just torn to pieces."

When she moved to North Carolina, she began to educate herself on the facts.

Like the fact that it costs the state $45,000 a year to institutionalize a resident.

"And the more I thought about it, the madder I got," she said. "It made no sense to me that the state would pay out $45,000 to keep a child in an institution where they got very little, if any loving care, and not just give the parent $20,000 to keep him at home."

She became an activist and quit her job at Western Carolina Center.

I went to the Department of Human Resources and I filed for everything I could—food stamps, welfare, you name it," she said. "I filed a class action suit contending that the situation was not fair for parents who keep their children at home—I couldn't get a penny and I was never able to spend any time with Paul."

Soon, shove came to PUSH and Ms. Davis applied as a foster parent, received training from visiting experts, then was licensed as a foster home parent.

Patti Sue was the first to arrive. She had been institutionalized for 39 years.

"When Patti Sue came out of Western Carolina Center she could not see or walk—she thought and acted like an institutionalized person," said Ms. Davis.

A much-needed eye operation restored some of Patti Sue's vision.

"If she hadn't come she'd still be blind," said Ms. Davis.

Patti Sue dubbed Ms. Davis as "Mama Nanner" and the name has stuck.

Then came Ricky, Daryl, Patsy and Jamie, all referred from various institutional settings. Foster parents receive a tax-free stipend of $800 per month per child or adult.

"So far, we've had a lot of success stories from people who have been taken out of the warehouses and put into foster homes," said White.

Examples include children who are now being mainstreamed in public school

classrooms, and a former Broughton Hospital patient who will soon graduate from high school, he said.

"And in the last two years we've had only two kids who could not make it in foster care."

Foster parents are just about selfselecting, he said.

"First come the applications, then an orientation meeting when foster parents tell applicants what their lives are like," said White. "The field begins to narrow as people decide what they're capable of."

Next come visits to the homes to see if they will pass safety, fire health and sanitation requirements.

"If so, the paperwork goes to Raleigh and we invite the foster parents for training, specific training where they learn how to deal with the individuals they'll be caring for," he said.

Goals for each child or adult are set once they're living in their foster home.

In Mama Nanner's household, the goal is self-sufficiency. To get the job done she sometimes has to bark like a top sergeant, often coaxes like a good coach and always loves like a mother.

"Most of these children have, or can learn the skills they need to get along, and the more these kids can do for themselves, the better," she said. "The first thing you do is write down everything you have to do for them, then start working the list down."

Mama Nanner's day begins at 6 a.m., when she rises, has a cup of coffee and gets her mind together for the day.

First up is Patsy, who gets her insulin shot for diabetes. Then Daryl, Ricky, Jamie, and Pattie Sue rise, eat breakfast and take care of morning hygiene matters like brushing their teeth and combing their hair.

Some go off to school. Pattie Sue goes to the Sheltered Workshop three days a week.

Mama Nanner then feeds Paul and cranks up the washing machine to do the laundry, plans supper, and takes care of the infinite other details to keep seven lives running as smoothly as possible.

On weekends and holidays, there are treks out to eat, the movies, the Highland Games. Whatever's going on at the time, Mama Nanner and her children want to be a part of it.

Sometimes, the public reaction can be less than embracing or too patronizing, said Mama Nanner. She understands it's just an expression of inexperience being with or around children and adults who have always been locked out of sight behind institutional walls.

"I love to take the children out," she said. "Sometimes, when we all come marching into a place, you can hear the girdles tightening up, but we always have a good time."

SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA TRAINING CENTER, located in Chesapeake, Virginia, received donated PUSH equipment in April as a result of the efforts of Gamma Beta Chapter at Old Dominion. PUSH donated television/stereo consoles to help furnish two living units at the facility.

WOODWARD STATE SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL, located in Woodward,Iowa, received another PUSH donation in early May. In this case the donation was sponsored by Alpha Omicron Chapter at Iowa State. PUSH will be furnishing a training room for Woodward, to include television and stereo consoles, a slide show, and teaching tables.

CHAPTER CONTRIBUTIONS as of the end of March amounted to $21,795.02, as contributed by a total of 35 chapters. At the same time last year, contributions of $37,282.61 had been received, so we have some catching up to do.

Several chapters have informed us that funds have already been raised, but have not yet been submitted. Please make every effort to get those contributions in to the Administrative Office as soon as possible.

A JUNE 30 DEADLINE exists for all contributions since this marks the end of the fiscal year for PUSH. Funds received after that date cannot be counted, either for awards or the creation of escrow accounts for individual chapters.

PI KAPP COLLEGE will be your first opportunity to see several new PUSH promotional items, including the updated slide show, an attractive PUSH poster featuring Randy Owens, our new Honorary Chairman, and a radio public service announcement by Randy, which will be available to chapters to support fundraising activities.

Nu Chapter chartered In 1915 Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity had chapters in only the southeast, and one in California. A goal of the Fraternity was to bridge the gap between brothers on opposite sides of the country. On October 20, 1915, Nu Chapter at the University of Nebraska was chartered as the first chapter to help bridge that gap.

Starting with seven men, the young group continued to grow, and less than ten years later was described in the 1924 "Cornhusker" yearbook as a group that "have distinguished themselves in practically every branch of university activity."

Times changed and world events closed the chapter during World War II. But a strong return following the war once again brought a Pi Kappa Phi presence to the University of NebraskaLincoln. Turmoil on campuses saw Nu Chapter fall as a victim in 1972 when the chapter was closed again.

In the fall of 1984, after a 12 year absence at UNL, Lincoln area alumni met

with students interested in bringing Nu Chapter back to UNL. Soon Leadership Consultants Pete Duguid and Jay Stuckel were pounding the pavement of Lincoln in what would soon be a very successful recolonization effort.

One year later, on September 27, 1985, National President David Jaffee served as the Chartering Officer along with Assistant Chartering Officer Michael O'Donnell, who presented the Nu Chapter of 42 men with their charter.

The success of the group of young men can be attributed to their hard work, as well as the hard work and continual care of alumni in the Lincoln area. Loy Todd, a Nu member when the group disbanded in 1972, served as the Nu Housing Corporation president throughout the recolonization. He deserves a tremendous amount of credit for his contribution, as well as Chapter Advisor Ken Johnson, also a Nu member in 1972.

Nu Chapter renovates house and tradition House improvements at the Nu Chapter at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln speak for themselves. After beginning unfurnished, with a rubble-filled, on-campus house the first year following their recolonization, renovations are being completed this spring. "The place is a knock-out," says Chapter Advisor Ken Johnson. "Just the little things remain to be done, like painting the trim, putting in light switches--the finishing touches."

With each improvement to the chapter house comes further improvement to the chapter as a whole. Archon Kyle Engle, whose father was a UN-L Pi Kapp, said, "It's -like new life blood being pumped into the chapter with each improve-

Delta Zeta: Facing the challenges

The men of Delta Zeta Chapter at Appalachian State University.

Scholarship, for many years, was not one of the chapter's strong points, rating somewhere near the bottom of the fraternity GPA's. Five years ago, under the supervision of the new Chapter Advisor, Art Quickenton, grades became a focal point. The scholarship committee developed a program to help the brothers become more aware of how they stood academically.

Before mid-terms and finals, letters were sent out on a voluntary basis for brothers, and on a required basis for associate members. These letters requested each instructor to state the current grade, number of absences, a projected final grade and other comments

Leadership is the key word in Pi Kappa Phi, on a personal level as well as a group level. The Delta Zeta Chapter at Appalachian State University is a leader on its campus and prides itself not only in being the first fraternity chartered at ASU, but also the first to pioneer new areas in fraternity life. This attitude stems in most part from the pioneering spirit of the Fraternity's national organization. Pi Kapp College, PUSH, and the addressing of new social issues are examples of this spirit.

It has been said that "the keen spirit seizes the prompt occasion, makes the thought, starts into action, plans, resolves, performs and executes." This is the philosophy by which Delta Zeta operates. It sees a problem, an opportunity or a need, examines it and acts upon it, rather than reacts. It is because of this philosophy that Delta Zeta is first in the fraternity race at ASU.

A primary example of Delta Zeta overcoming a new and uncertain situation was demonstrated in the spring of 1984 when the Interfraternity Council considered a mandatory dry rush. By the end of the semester the IFC had decided that beginning in the spring of 1985 all fraternity rush functions had to be dry.

Delta Zeta's response was to be the first fraternity at ASU to hold a dry rush.

The results were much better than expected. Seventeen men accepted bids from the chapter, and thus created the largest pledge class on campus. Many of the prospective members attending the party were surprised to find there were no kegs behind the bar. The main purpose emphasized during the rush party was that Pi Kapps were recruiting top quality men, and not top quality beer drinkers.

Dry rush is not the only area where new ideas have worked for the better.

The Omicron tradition

Brothers at Omicron raise the Pi Kapp flag on the flagpole dedicated to the memory of Omicron brothers S. Frank Fleming, William A. Ware, B.D. Calhoun, and Gregory L. Frazier. The pole was donated by brothers John and Tracy McGuire.

that would help the member determine how he stood in that class. Dr. Quickenton then counseled each member on ways to raise their GPA's.

Effective leadership, good planning, goal setting and looking ahead are the principal reasons why Delta Zeta has succeded in these areas. The search for new ideas and the desire to improve have lead the chapter to new heights. The rush program, as described by Glenn Dickson, has become a "model" and is one of the chapter's strongest points, thus helping to make it the largest fraternity at Appalachian State.

Delta Zeta has steadily progressed from its early beginnings in 1973, but on occasions stagnated at various levels.

The chapter's first goal was to become a better chapter on campus, and once this was accomplished, realized that it had the potential to become one of the top chapters in the country.

men such as baseball's Hall of Famer, as well as Pi Kappa Phi's Hall of Famer, Joe Sewell. Men who have served and continue to serve Pi Kappa Phi like past National President Lonnie Strickland, current National Chancellor Nathan Hightower, and President of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc., Travis Julian.

What do all these men have in common? They are all initiates of a chapter with a tradition, a tradition of strength and leadership. Omicron Chapter at the University of Alabama can claim each of these men and many others (too many to mention) as their chapter brothers.

Is it tough to live up to such a longstanding Pi Kappa Phi tradition? You bet!

Omicron continually strives to be the best, not only in Pi Kappa Phi, but in a continuing position of dominance on the University of Alabama campus.

By stressing a winning tradition and good fraternity values, Omicron Chapter today is in the top one-fourth of the 27 fraternities, academically, at Alabama.

The Alabama campus has a very influential student government. As a leader

ment." Recent initiate Tim Rezac agrees, "You just walk around and you can see the guys getting more motivated as the house looks nicer."

In its first year back on campus Nu Chapter is making many strides. Chapter intramural teams made league finals in both basketball and softball. A contingent of seven Nu members row on the UN-L crew team. PUSH projects have brought favorable publicity as well as having two Pi Kapps elected to the Daily Nebraskan Publications Board, the governing body of the student newspaper.

In addition, Nu Chapter has grown considerably from the 42-man rechartering group. The total at the end of spring is expected to be over 70, with their sights set even higher, as the group is well into planning for a full-scale summer rush program targeting high schoolers across Nebraska.

A new era emerged when mmbers recognized a need to progress to new heights. In the past these stagnant periods were due in most part, not to the lack of abilities or desires of the officers or brothers, but rather through a lack of awareness of new ideas in fraternity operations--new ideas that could lead the chapter to the new heights it sought.

With this new era came the avid participation in area conclaves, Pi Kapp College, AVA meetings and Supreme Chapters. Through this participation the chapter found a vast amount of resources to aid in reaching the newly set goals.

The chapter learned more about the national organization, the benefits of attending the various meetings, and became close friends with other chapters and exchanged ideas.

Delta Zeta is facing these issues by developing policies and programs to better enable the chapter to cope with these added responsibilities and to stay ahead. Mr. Dino DiBernardi, the Interfraternity Council Advisor at Appalachian State, says of the chapter: "Pi Kappa Phi has excelled on our campus as a result of strong leadership, good advisement, and a membership which has challenged itself to be receptive to change. While understanding the importance of tradition in fraternity life, the chapter has recognized that today's new ideas are tomorrow's traditions. They have, therefore, been a leader in our Greek system in addressing new present day challenges of Greek life."

among fraternities, Omicron is also chocked with campus leaders. Among Omicron's undergraduate brothers are the vice president of the school of communications and several student government senators. Pi Kapps hold a seat on the IFC's judicial board and serve as the IFC rush chairman. The tradition is likely to continue, as many of Omicron's new initiates are active on campus.

In addition to Omicron's strength in leadership and academics, dominance in the University's intramural sports program is also a tradition. Already on display is the Alabama "All Sports" trophy, and this year promises the continued possession of the fraternity sports prize.

All of the elements of fraternity cornbine at Omicron to make it the special chapter that it is. A diverse group, all contribute to the whole. From members of the "Crimson Tide" football team to student government officers, the members of Omicron unite in a common bond. One thing is assured — they will continue to faithfully uphold the Omicron tradition at the University of Alabama.

EDITORIAL

"Lifelong" Pi Kappa Phi Mike O'Donnell Alpha Epsilon 1085 The Star and Lamp is to be commended for its recent series on career development. Brother Stump provided valuable tips on resume writing and interview preparation. I think our junior and senior members can benefit greatly from this type of information. It is important that Pi Kappa Phi do more to promote practical career development services for our undergraduates.

A man's plans and dreams for the future usually take on greater significance as -he progresses through college. What he hopes to become, and what he hopes to contribute, begin to take shape and solidify his character. The size of his goals are determined, to a large extent, on his past successes and on the way in which he sees the world. Unfortunately, many students have a distorted view of the world. Their priorities may be misaligned. They may eventually find they hate the career they studied so hard to get into (fact is, few people stay in the same field they originally studied in

college). Most of all, their expectations of success, and life in general, are not met. Many promising careers end in disillusionment and even bitterness.

The Fraternity is an excellent vehicle (but, as yet unused) for our members to develop realistic career goals and life expectations. More importantly, for those who feel their talents are wasted in dead end jobs, the Fraternity can help them regroup and find a more rewarding direction. All the resources are at our disposal.

The alumni have the knowledge, experience and contacts. The students have the energy, desire and need to prove themselves. Each can benefit through a coordinated effort of networking. Tying it all together are the bonds of ritual and the implicit trust developed from shared experiences. There are several things students and alumni can do now to accomplish better career direction: —Students can develop mentor relationships with local chapter alumni.

—Alumni can help members moving to their area get adjusted, find needed ser-

vices and make community contacts.

—Students can contact alumni in their planned career field (refer to the Alumni Directory) for advice about the industry and feedback on their resumes.

—Alumni can make internships available to students wanting to "test" the field and gain experience.

'If fraternity is really to be 'for life,' it needs to be an integral and ongoing influence in the lives of its members."

The Administrative Office could serve as a clearinghouse for these services: —Critique and professionally typeset resumes.

—Provide a "career development kit" to all members, offering interview techniques, self-analysis tests (strengths and weaknesses), information on particular career fields, suggestions on how to network, etc.

—Forward student and alumni resumes on to alumni in key decision making positions.

—Sponsor two full-day workshops in conjunction with Pi Kapp College — one for

seniors on career development, and one on career re-development for alumni wanting to change jobs (or looking for work).

If fraternity is really to be "for life," it needs to be an integral and ongoing influence in the lives of its members. I sincerely hope the National Council will address this issue, and I hope our student and alumni members alike, will voice their support for such a program.
