Dr. Phillip Summers talks about chapter public relations to St. Louis AVATW attendees.

路 310 Pi Kappa Phi's from 89 Chapters benefitted from the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation's Archon I Vice Archon I Treasurer I Warden Conferences held the second and third weekends of January. The inclusion of chapter Wardens to this year's mid-year leadership events, made possible through funding from the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, brought attendance records to both the Charlotte and St. Louis conferences.

First seen as a method of providing leadership training to chapters' top officers at mid-year, when many were being elected, the conference has evolved into an intense weekend of both personal and fraternity leadership learning.

The first conference, held at the Holiday Inn-Woodlawn in Charlotte, North Carolina, January 9-11, was the most heavily attended. It brought 210 representatives from the East and Southeast into the hometown of the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office.

The Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Staff then packed their bags and took their roadshow to the St. Louis Holiday InnRiverfront where 100 Pi Kapps from the rest of the country gathered.

Many of Pi Kappa Phi's top speakers made themselves available for this year's conferences. Attendees at the Charlotte A VATW were able to share fraternity with National President David Jaffee, Past National President Phil Tappy and National Council Member-at-Large Jerry Brewer. In addition, former Pi Kappa Phi staff members Mike O'Donnell, Gary Leonard and David Vawter came back to present fraternity topics such as Rush, Finances and Ritual. Area Governors Art Quickenton, Ron De Valinger, and Jim Krucher were also in attendance as facilitators. 路 Near the Gateway Arch in St. Louis another broad slate of speakers brought their message to attendees. As they did in Charlotte, Mike O'Donnell and Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity member Ron Wilson motivated the Pi Kapps. A distinct pleasure to those in attendance was the presence of Pi Kappa Phi National Secretary, Philip Summers. Area Governor Mark Jacobs was

also in attendance.

"I am confident that the quality of the speakers and facilitators had a large impact on the success of this year's A VATW conferences," said Glenn Dickson, Assistant Executive Director of Pi Kappa Phi. "What used to be a conference heavily dependent upon staff presenting topics, has grown into a very professional series of presentations that benefit those in attendance in both a fraternity operational and personal way."

Jonathan Mailer of Lenoir-Rhyne College observed, 'The conference was a unique and informative experience," adding, 'The agenda, at frrst, appears too lengthy but it was clear that everyone wanted to stay longer. I go back to Epsilon Rho Chapter with a wealth of knowledge for my chapter brothers."

Attendees in Charlotte were given an

opportunity to be part of the videotaping of Mike O'Donnell's "Principles of Recruiting." The two and one-half hour taped presentation of Pi Kappa Phi's top "Rush guru" was made possible through a grant from the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation.

(See story below) As expected the topic of risk management and legal liabilities were covered extensively in both Charlotte and St. Louis. Ron Krebs, Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity's Insurance carrier and member of Pi Kappa Phi brought his message to attendees in St. Louis. Durward Owen, Executive Director, said, "I was surprised at the amount of insight and obvious thought that undergraduate members are of risk placing on the subject management. From the questions they were asking they are as concerned and frightened by the implications of this

problem as their Chapter Advisors and Housing Corporation officers are."

"We had more chapters present at this year's AVATW conferences than ever," said Dickson adding, 'The reputation of the conference as being a valuable experience is a factor in the growing popularity of the mid-year conference."

While there are no present plans to further broaden the mid-year leadership conference the Pi Kappa Phi National Council and Administrative Staff continues to be attentive to ways to improve upon it them for the future. 'The inclusions over the past two years were direct responses to voids we were noticing in chapter prograrrrrning," said Owen, "When there is an identified area of weakness we will always respond with programming such as this."

Stress Level

Pi Kappa Phi and Members' Lifestyles: A study funded by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation

By Dr. Perry Wayne Buffington

About the Author Dr. Perry Wayne Buffmgton, a past Pi Kappa Phi National Council member of two terms, and a member of Gamma Kappa chapter at Georgia Southern College, is now Vice-President of Research of American Wellness Systems, Inc. A noted psychologist, author, and speaker, he has discussed "stress survival" and the psychology of leadership at Pi Kappa Phi Leadership events for a munber of years.

One way a fraternity's strength can be measured is by the health of its members.

Although this sounds cliche, it's true and profoundly impacts the well-being of a fraternity. In other words, if bad habits, problem lifestyles, and negative attitudes arc prevalent, then the entire organization suffers. Based on this premise, Pi Kappa Phi chose to take an honest, straightforward look at its membership.

A survey was commissioned; and, after the results were tabulated, the fmdings were striking but not surprising. In fact, what was found in Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity likely mirrors the state of the entire fraternity world.

At its armual leadership school (held at Roanoke College in Virginia), Pi Kappa Phi's top students took a provocative, indepth look at the state of the fraternity and their own medical risks as well. At that time, over 300 of its leaders (mean age 20.9 years) representing 120+ chapters from all over the United States, completed a health risk and lifestyle questionnaire. The assessment, HEALTH PLUS, was developed by American Wellness Systems, an Atlanta based organization dedicated to corporate health.

This computerized questionnaire provided a confidential eight-page report mailed directly to the participant. The survey assessed medical risk, reviewed lifestyle factors, provided educational information on remediative areas like nutrition and exercise, and served as a general needs assessment. Designed for future plarming, American Wellness also provided a group report (divulging neither names nor specific individual irtformation) summarizing the general health, lifestyle factors, and needs of members. The results presented here are part of that summary.

As expected in most fraternities, sororities, and other organizations, no group is exempt from drug, alcohol, and other harmful lifestyle problems. What is unique is that Pi Kappa Phi chose to assess the pervasiveness of real and potential problems as a first step toward eliminating them.

Although there were numerous issues addressed, the most striking fmdings concerned tobacco use, alcohol consumption, automobile safety, general fitness, and stress level.

Tobacco Use The following information relates to the use of tobacco within Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Of those surveyed: 15.5% Smoke 7.1% Quit Smoking 77.7% Never Smoked

Of those who acknowledged smoking cigarettes: 39.1% Smoke 10 or less cigarettes a day 20.4% Smoke 11-20 cigarettes a day 13.0% Smoke 21-40 cigarettes a day 4.4% Smoke 41 or more cigarettes a day Of the total number of smokers, 47.8% stated that they would like to quit; 28.3% do not have any desire to stop; and 17.4% would like to cut down.

Compared to national figures (courtesy of the National Center for Health Statistics), the use of tobacco within Pi Kappa Phi is below the expected norm.

However, given the percentage of smokers within the sample the numbers of cigarettes consumed, this lifestyle area is a health problem for the members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

One final point suggests strongly that Pi Kappa Phi's alcohol awareness program has limited effectiveness. To explain, 1% of Pi Kapps and 9% of national san1plc acknowledged they had quit drinking alcohol. The number of Pi Kapps preferring abstinence from alcohol is far below the number of people who have stopped drinking in the national sample. This point in particular, along with the facts presented above, argues strongly that more emphasis must be placed on alcohol awareness and prevention in both formal and infonnal formats.

Although not as obviously life tlrrcatening as tobacco, alcohol, and drug usage, there were other tell-tale lifestyle fmdings which concern automobile safety, general fitness, and stress level.

Alcohol Consumption

Automobile Safety

A cursory inspection of the data gathered concerning alcohol consumption suggests that this is a problem of major importance within the fraternity. Approximately 86% of the fraternity participants

First, 71% of those Pi Kapps' tested acknowledged that they drive more than 10,000 miles per year. Although this may not directly imply a lifestyle problem, motor vehicle accidents are the major

stated that they drink alcoholic beverages.

This is higher than the 72.4% national statistic. Only 12% of the sample were non-drinkers, as opposed to 18.5% within the national sample. However, a general review of the percentages, reveal a greater problem: The average number of drinks consumed per day is high.

To determine this percentage, the question asked, "How many alcoholic beverages (including beer and wine) do you consume per day?" The breakdown was as follows: 48.2% 1 Drink per day 46.6% 2-6 Drinks per day 2.4% 7-9 Drinks per day 1.2% 10+ Drinks per day Although the 46.6% figure is alarming, one reason for its elevation is the wording of the question. A better alternative would divide the interval, 2-6 drinks per day, into at least two parts. As a result of the wide interval, the 46.6% figure is inflated; however, even if the percentage were reduced by half, the potential danger from this finding is alarming and dangerous.

Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity is consistent with the expected number of individuals nationally who have alcohol problems. It is expected that 5% of the U.S. population will be diagnosed alcoholic (statistic courtesy of the South Carolina Drug and Alcohol Commission). Relying solely on the admitted number of drinks per day, approximately 4% of the participants arc consuming 7+ drinks daily. This figure is remarkably close to the 5% expected of the population diagnosed as alcoholic.

cause of death for people below the age of 35. To compound this problem, only 26% of those students assessed admitted to using their seatbelt 100% of the time.

"Pi Kappa Phi is commited to the fact that fraternities must develop those programs which will produce positive peer change within its membership."

General Fitness Another surprising finding concerned physical fitness. Approximately 38% of those Pi Kapps' completing a questionnaire were more than 10% above their ideal weight (as listed in the revised Metropolitan Weight Tables). Although the national comparison for overweight males over the age of 20 is 51% (Pi Kapp was 38%), it was surprising that a group of fraternity leaders, typically very cognizant of personal appearance, would test out with as great a percentage of overweight participants. A related fmding found that 10% of all participants were not involved in a physical exercise program; this is sightly less than the national aver-

As the number of everyday stressors are increasing, so are its effects on the college student. Based on the aggregate results of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity participants, 19% Unable to relax 20% Worry regularly 81% Regularly feel anxious 7% Stressed out No comparable national statistics were available; generally speaking, these figures are high, and could easily lead to other more severe problems. For instance, related to these findings was the fact that 9.5% of the participants tested had high blood pressure problems (as compared to approximately 13% in the national population).

"Simple awareness of the problem is insufficient to solving the problem."

As a result of str~sors and other problems placed on ilie typical fraternity leaders, only 76% of them stated that they were "happy with thejr life at the present time." However, 96% of the participants requested additional information on how they can improve their lifestyle. Specific topical requests included: Topic - Percenta~e Stress 70.6% Fitness ·-:> 75.0% Money Management 62.9% Nutrition 57.8% Recreation and Leisure 50.7% Legal Information 31.7% Sex Education 22.6% Alcohol and Drug Awareness 20.6% Based on these -:> composite fmdings, there is sufficient evidence to suggest that several serious problem areas exist. An action plan is needed to resolve these problems and to reduce their negative impact.

First, the fraternity must be willing to acknowledge the presence of these problems. Both alumni and undergraduates must take responsibility for their existence.

This is essential not only for the healili, and well-being of our own members, but necessary to facilitate change and to encourage other Greek letter societies to take a look at their own membership.

Second, specific action plans must be developed which define the problems in behavioral terms and offer techniques for remedying the problem. Simple awareness of the problem is insufficient to solving the problem. The solutions must be implemented at the undergraduate chapter level to have its fullest impact. Aliliough Pi Kappa Phi has made statements concerning hazing, sexual abuse and general alcohol awareness, intervention programs must be developed which target the specific areas indicated from this report.

Third, sufficient funds must be committed toward remedying these problems. Although, in the past, funds have been committed to generate poster and simple awareness programs, this program will be costly and time intensive. Perhaps one way to approach each issue is to fmd individual sponsors.

Finally, a method for monitoring the effectiveness of each program should be developed in order to determine individual health effectiveness and cost benefits.

There is need and obvious merit in implementing a positive lifestyle awareness program targeting ilie fraternity student.

Although the specifics will vary from fraternity to fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi could develop "Pi Kapp Plus" (Positive Lifestyle for Undergraduate Students) which would focus on understanding the impact of lifestyle on physical and mental health, relating lifestyle and the fraternity experience, and introducing specific educational intervention of problem areas like smoking cessation, alcohol awareness, stress education, and other.

The concept of "wellness" and positive lifestyle management is not a new area; however, it is a relatively unexplored field concerning the fraternity and sorority student. There is no doubt that fraternity life, either positive or negative, exerts a strong peer influence on its members. As a result, Pi Kappa Phi is committed to the fact that fraternities must develop those programs which will produce positive peer change within its membership. After all, a healthy life is a Brotherhood issue.

The men of Zeta Gamma Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity at the University of North Dakota at their chartering banquet

Next Stop: Canada!

Pi Kappa Phi Charters at University of North Dakota Located about 30 miles south of Canada, 300 miles northwest of Minneapolis, and a full day's airplane excursion from Charlotte, North Carolina, lies the University of North Dakota. Pi Kappa Phi's Zeta Gamma chapter became the first successful new group at North Dakota in 18 years on November 22, 1986.

The University was originally founded in 1883, and stands amid wheat fields by summer, and tundra by winter. It has grown over the past century to be the flagship of higher education for the state. The University ,serves more than 10,000 students, about 15 percent of whom are Greek. The University's most noteworthy subject area is aeronautics, with a large aviation research faculty having been established by several large airlines in conjunction with the FAA. The University is quite active in agricultural research, and also boasts a tradition of top honors in NCAA Division I ice hockey.

In the spring of 1985, Pi Kappa Phi competed against 8 other national fraternities to gain the single Interfraternity Council approved expansion slot. Mike O'Donnell, National Expansion Committee member and past Administrative Office staff member, flew from his home in Virginia Beach, Virginia, to make Pi Kappa Phi's pitch. While in Grand Forks, he met Bruce Gjovig, who directs the North Dakota Center for Innovation and Small Business Development.

As a result of that meeting Brother O'Donnell became interested in relocating to Grand Forks, and agreed to found a Pi Kapp colony at the outset of his North Dakota career. Gjovig, a Delta Tau Delta Housing Corporation Officer, helped our colony attract non Greek local business-

men, political figures, and professionals who have become the alumni advisory board and housing corporation for Zeta Gamma chapter.

In early fall of 1985, Mike O'Donnell interviewed and selected a group of thirtyfive men to build a presence for Pi Kappa Phi in North Dakota. They built a strong foundation, but suffered setbacks along the way which served to build character for the young group.

Early hopes were heavily pinned on major housing for the new group. When opportunies did not materialize, some members becams frustrated and disenchanted. From a letter to the chapter from O'Donnell, January 2, 1986: "Brothers?! This is a design.aJion that evokes respect and sentiment in a Fraternity. Our chapter is barely 3 months old, and although you are not yet initiated or recognized by National, I feel that most of you have earned the title. Most new chapters are started by an existing group of close friends, and with the support of rrumy local alumni. We did not have the benefit of either.

I am discouraged and deeply concerned about some recent developments. We got off to a strong start, with big dreams for the future. We were lead to believe that the DZ house sould be available. That did not materialize. I'm sorry, we tried. Does that mean we give up? We established committees for Rush, Service, Chartering and other important events. The committees were relatively inactive because hardly anyone showed up for meetings. Several people have already quit or dropped by the wayside -- disinterested and unwilling to give a little extra to rngg_ it happen. To me, this is selfish and demonstrates a lack

of character. We didn't need them in our Fraternity to begin with and I sure as hell wouldn't be proud to call them brothers.

I am writing this for the guys who care. For those of you who put in the effort this past semester. The end of the semester was hard. The pressures of finals, the disappointment of no house for next semester, the 路 apathetic attitudes of a few members -- all made tempers short and frustration set in. We've got to get good.

Chartering is coming up soon. We have got to come back strong and I need to know who I can count on. I care too much, and the reputation of my Fraternity is on the line.

I promise you this: Pi Kappa Phi will be the biggest and strongest Fraternity at UND. It may not be in your time, although some of you will be responsible for helping to make it happen. You will be proud to come back. And you will be honored when you do. I know you want the benefits and glory now, but truly successful people have the character and discipline to sacrifice a little now in order to benefit those to come. This is how all outstanding chapters got that way. I know it is hard for you to keep things in perspective, but realize that we are already in the top 5 of 14 fraternities and have rrumy good things going for us.

As I see it, our priorities are as follows: Rush, Chartering, and Housing!"

From that point the dedicated core of men set an April chartering date, and executed a phenomenally successful PUSH week, raising more than $2,000.00 for our national service project, and gained much local respect. Required membership goals could not be reached, however; and therefore, the brothers experienced another heartfelt setback as chartering was rescheduled for the fall of 1986.

Over the summer, the "That's the Ticket" inner chapter newsletter helped summer rush stay organized, and kept the brothers in touch. After attending Pi Kapp College, the four top officers returned to Grand Forks. There they dug in with the rest of the Brotherhood, whipping their first chapter house into shape for fall rush.

Auburn Breaks Ground on New Chapter House

"Building. for the next sixty years," is the theme for the drive to obtain funds to build a new chapter house on the Auburn campus for Alpha Iota chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. November 8, 1986, saw Alpha Iota alumni from across the country come together for the momentous occasion of groundbreaking at their homecoming cele-

bration. The date marked not only the groundbreaking, but also that of the chapter's Sixtieth Anniversary.

The Alpha Iota Club, Inc., the chapter's housing corporation, is directing the fundraising efforts for the projected $300,000 structure. Those wishing to contact the Alpha Iota Club, Inc. to lend their support to the project should contact

ing, and dedication transformed a neglected house into a prideful home.

The UND associate chapter proceeded to command respect from the established Greek system by having the best fall rush on campus, with 21 associate members swelling their size above the chartering requirement.

All other chartering requirements, letters of recommendation, written programs, grade reports, etc. were completed, and chartering was set for November 22, 1986.

David Jaffee, National President, College of Charleston, Alpha chapter, served the Fraternity as Installation Officer; and a well deserving Chapter Advisor Mike O'Donnell was his Assistant Chartering Officer. The undergraduate men performed solidly on both the written and oral examinations for membership and were then duly initiated. The University of Nebraska - Omaha, Delta Gan1ma chapter, and Kansas State University, Delta Chi chapter performed the ceremony of initiation in a marathon ritual, which ended at 5:00 a.m., Saturday, November 22. To these men we owe thanks.

The Chartering Banquet was excllmg and eventful. Many other Fraternity and Sorority Presidents attended as did most Founding Fathers' parents, as well as Bonnie Solberg, Greek Advisor. Also attending were alumni initiates Stenehjem and Holmberg, State Senators; Anbol, investment advisor and insurance executive; Monson, marketing executive; Leppo, University Union and student life leadership programs; and Larson, career services.

After dinner, both University President Tom Clifford and Vice President of Student Affairs Gordon Henry welcomed Pi Kappa Phi to the University. National President David Jaffee served admirably as keynote speaker, and also presented the charter.

Brad Emerson, chapter Archon, also Zeta Gamma's first "Brother of the Year", accepted the charter and made some emotionally charged remarks.

Pi Kappa Phi's good friend Bruce Gjovig became Zeta Gamma's first "Hall of Fame" member. He continues to serve both the Greek movement and Pi Kappa Phi at Nonh Dakota with conviction. Finally, the chapter crowned Melissa Kline, President of Delta Gamma sorority, as its first Rose Queen.

To conclude, Pi Kappa Phi has a strong and growing, motivated group of leaders in North Dakota. These men have dedicated themselves to Pi Kappa Phi, and have allowed our Fraternity an opportunity to grow in a previously unexplored area.

In the words of hall of farner Bruce Gjovig, ''Thank you for bringing the opportunity and priviledge of Pi Kappa Phi to UND, so that over a 1000 young men will benefit in our lifetime alone."

Editor's Footnote: Zeta Gamma chapter enjoyed the best second semester rush on campus, adding 13 associate members to their growing ranks!

A Great City. . .

Today's Dallas. It's far more than a world-class city- Its a dynamic mood, an expansive spirit, a unique approach to everthing ...

Much like Pi Kappa Phi You and 500 of your Pi Kappa Phi Brothers will love Dallas' unequalled entertainment, spectacular attractions and excellent activities planned for your stay at the 41st Supreme Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi.

During the early part of the fall semester, the associate members raised $333.00 for PUSH, served as attendants at the campus non-alcoholic pub, and raked leaves for their neighboring church. The group finished the spring semester with the second highest GPA on campus with a 2.59.

The chartering date was set for December 6, 1986, and the chapter worked diligently to complete the extensive chartering requirements. From colony to chapter in 9 months! Dean Dolbin, in his welcome address at the chartering banquet said, "I

have no doubt that Pi Kappa Phi will have a positive jnfluence upon the Shippensburg Community and it's members." He continues, "The men of Pi Kappa Phi speak for themselves. They display social awareness and will have a positive impact on society."

Present at the chartering banquet on December 7, were many dignitaries from Shippensburg University, as well as alumni and family of the new initiates.

Dean Dolbin represented the administration and Father Mike Allwein, the Campus Minister, said the benediction. The Charter-

ing Officer over the event was Area Governor Jim Krurcher, a Beta Alpha alumnus, along with the Assistant Chartering Officer Mike Imms, Chapter Advisor at Alpha Upsilon chapter, Drexel University.

The chartering ¡ team was also from Alpha Upsilon Chapter, Drexel University; initiating all 40 men in one evening. A job well down by the brothers from Drexel University.

Zeta Delta is unique in that James Ramsey, who is a Founding Father from Epsilon Psi, Slippery Rock, is also a Founding Father and Archon at Shippensburg. Because James has worked with two colonies, and has seen both chartered, he advised other colonies to , "... work hard because in the long run, your work will be well worth it. Pi Kappa Phi provides excellent opportunities and I have benefited greatly."

Things are going well for the new Zeta Della chapter. The chapter advisor, Jeff Cohick, lends his financial expertise to the chapter, and the men have the complete support from the University. With all of this support, Zeta Delta can only grow stronger.

nity system.

Pi Kappa Phi appeared on campus in the late fall of 1985, as Leadership Consultants Ashley Boling and Bernie Magoon came to George Mason University for an expansion survey. Boling remained and spoke with many individuals about Pi Kappa Phi. The response was positive, and an interest group of ten men was formed .

"We owe Ashley so much," remarked Eric Lindenberg, Chapter Archon and initiate # 1. "He gave us a great deal of help and support."

The spring semester saw steady growth and improvement for the group. The colony grew to nineteen men and became actively involved on campus and in the community with their efforts in "Mason Day", Greek Week, and helping out at a retirement home. In March, the chapter was visited by Leadership Consultant Rich Pope and organizational and recruitment topics were discussed. The chapter was heading in a positive direction at this

time, and sights turned toward a possible fall chartering. Late spring saw Ed Hook, Alpha Upsilon, Drexel, appointed as Chapter Advisor. Hook had previously been working with area alumni in forming the Washington, D.C. Area Alumni Association, and is known for his efforts in helping organize the 38th Supreme Chapter in Philadelphia.

Instead of taking the summer months off, the Pi Kapps participated in fundraisers and recruitment retreats anticipating a productive fall semester. Efforts paid off as fourteen new men were recruited. At this time, the go ahead was given by the National Council for a December chartering. The colony spent the fall months meeting chartering requirements as well as conducting a major PUSH effort netting over $1,100.00 for our national service project.

Alumni played a major role in the formation of Zeta Epsilon Chapter. It was the development of the Washington, D.C.

Alumni Association that brought the Northem Virginia area to the forefront of Pi Kappa Phi expansion possibilities.

After the formation of the George Mason colony, many of these alumni became involved with the undergraduates, including Bill Newell and Ken Kelley, both from Psi Chapter at Cornell. Brother Kelley is currently the Associate Dean of Student Services at George Mason University and serves as the groups Faculty Advisor.

On Friday, December 5th, initiation ceremonies were held for the group, and they were officially installed as the Zeta Epsilon chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. The chartering banquet was held at the prestigious "National Democratic Club" in downtown Washington, D.C. the following evening. Present were many distinguished area alumni, parents and guests. Highlights included a welcome to the University and the charter presentation by Ed Bennett, Chartering Officer.

Shippensburg University becomes horlle of Zeta Delta Chapter -

By: Joseph A. Brady Situated among the Amish communitics of South-Central Pennsylvania is the tree- lined campus of Shippensburg University. Just 30 miles from the Maryland border, and 54 miles from Harrisburg, PA, one can still sec a Pennsylvania-Dutch family traveling down the modem, paved roads.

The community is now home to one of the newest chapters of Pi Kappa Phi, Zeta Delta chapter at Shippensburg University.

Shippensburg University is a member of the extensive and established state universi ty system of Pennsylvania. With an pnrollmcnt of 6,500 students and very modem academic and athletic facilities, the university is presently home to 10 national fraternities and 8 sororities, 3 of which arc nationally afliliated.

Zeta Delta Chapter- the Beginning Shortly after being contacted in early March, 1986, by James Ramsey, a found ing father at Slippery Rock, the Administrative Office sent Leadership consultant Asl~ l r: Boling to Shippensburg Universi ty . .. ~amsey rcpo. .'. •'-,at a 62-man interest group had formetl, a:a d they wanted to be Pi Kapps. The Dean of Students, Dave Dolbin, recognized this desire in the group and was very impressed and very responsive to having Pi Kappa Phi on campus.

After two days on campus, Pi Kappa Phi had already established itself as a strong force. Before Ashley left the campus on Tuesday, he fonnally pledged 37 men. The remaining six were pledged by Brother Ramsey, who was elected Archon of the associate chapter.

Following an early April visit by leaders hip consul tant Richard Pope, the group was reported as progressing very well. By this time, the associate chapter had developed a healthy rapport with the sororities on campus, and the administration was willing to help them in any way possible.

The associate chapter, under the direction of Brother Ramsey, set their sights on a December. 1986 chartering.

Zeta Epsilon Chartered at George Mason A year of hard work paid off as the associate chapter at George Mason University became a chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. On December 5, 1986, an eager group of twenty eight men were initiated as charter members of Zeta Epsilon, capping off what proved to be a productive semester for the one year old colony.

National PUSH Chairman Ed Bennett, Xi Chapter, Roanoke College, was Chartering Officer, while Area Governor Glen Aspinwall, Garnrna Kappa, Georgia Southern, was the Assistant Chartering Officer. The millallon ceremony was performed by members of Delta Tau chapter, James Madison University.

George Mason University is located in Fairfax, Virginia, roughly fifteen miles west of Washington, D.C. It is a predominantly commuter oriented school, with an enrollment of just over 17,000 students.

The school dates its beginning in 1957, when the University of Virginia established a two year branch college in Northern Virginia. In 1966, George Mason College became a four year degree institution. With the addition of graduate programs in 1970, the college was able to achieve university status by 1972. George Mason's 582 acres contain very modem classrooms and dormitories set in a wooded surrounding. Pi Kappa Phi becomes the sixth national fraternity chartered at George Mason University, with two colonies and three interest groups also present in the frater-

Change comes to Alpha Upsilon

By Robert ?~:.mag an, Alpha Upsilon Chapter The Alpha Upsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi has been a leader of fraternity life at Drexel University since its chartering 53 years ago. The chapter is the oldest house on campus, and its position is enhanced by the presence of a strong and active alumni chapter. Alpha Upsilon's status has been reinforced in the recent past by the winning of numerous athletic and Greek Week championships, and by maintaining close to one-hundred undergraduate members. For instance, in 1985-86, Alpha Upsilon was a Pi Kappa Phi Master Chapter, won the Drexel IFA Football Championship, and made the finals of the IFA Basketball and Softball Tournaments. The chapter also won Greek Week for a five year period from 1980 through 1984. By any objective criteria, Alpha Upsilon was a thriving chapter.

It carne, therefore, as a complete surprise to many of the brothers when .Drexel University put the chapter on social' and athletic suspension and its charter was placed in escrow with the Alpha Upsilon Alumni Chapter in June of 1986.

So, what happened? How could a chapter with so much going for it get in so much trouble? And, how did Alpha Upsilon handle the situation?

The answers to questions one and two arc actually very simple. Fraternity and university life has experienced massive changes in the last decade. The stereotype of the fraternity man as irresponsible and thoughtless is dead. Chapters have been forced to accept complete responsibility for both their behavior and the actions of individual brothers, and universities are far more likely to intervene when chapters do not accept this responsibility.

Changes like these, however, had not reached the Greek system at Drexel. Its large and active Greek system was in many ways an anachronism-living in the past and partying like nothing had really chang-

ed.

So for years the fraternities on campus at Drexel had gone unchecked. In 1984, however, a new unlversity administration began to institute changes in the Greek system. The changes proposed by the university were designed to move the Drexel fraternities away from their preoccupation with large and frequently riotous social functions to a more balanced conception of Greek life. Initially these changes were met with great resistance by many of the houses on campus and by the Interfraternity Council. The university responded to the resistance first by persuasion, then by threats followed by mild sanctions, and fmally by drastic action.

"The Chapter has learned how to change and to improve its image by cooperating with people and by recognizing that influences outside the chapter could be used to the chapter's benefit."

As a result of a series of small offenses, Pi Kappa Phi, the largest and most powerful house on campus, was placed on social and athletic suspension at the end of the spring quarter.

At first, the brothers of Alpha Upsilon were angry and confused by the suspension, but very quickly they began to respond maturely and positively. The , chapter agreed that change was necessary, inevitable, and even desirable. The undergraduate Executive Committee met in early June with representatives of the Alumni Chapter, the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Oflicc, and Drexel University to formulate a set of goals for the chapter to achieve.

Topics that were covered by these goals included: public relations, academic development, house development, leadership and morale, pledge and rush programs, chapter finances, and career development. the goals were then presented to the brothers of Alpha Upsilon and unanimously accepted.

At this stage Alpha Upsilon went into high gear and got to work on their chapter goals during the summer, the chapter assisted the March of Dimes Phon-a-Thon project and raised over $1000 to help wipe out birth defects. This event carne less than two months after the armual Pi Kapp Show, a talent show held on campus during which the chapter raised $1000 for PUSH and $4000 for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

In July, the brothers sponsored speakers form the Woodside Hall Addiction and Treatment Center in Philadelphia for an open presentation on drug abuse in a residence hall lounge. The program dealt with marijuana, the deceiving primary stages of alcoholism, the gravity of pathological gambling, and the addictive properties of cocaine. Under the pressure of modem society, students can be engulfed in an addiction before they have a chance to seck help. The outdated stereotype of social fraternities seems to encourage excessive parting. As leaders on campus, its important that fraternities sponsor more events to counter this stereotype for the good of student life.

In order to promote academic development Alpha Upsilon has formed a scholarship committee. The immediate goal of this committee is to make freshmen aware that enjoying the benefits of fraternal life doesn't mean they have to fail out of school. Rewarding good scholarship in the house through financial incentives is also being considered.

"How could a chapter with so much going for it get in so much trouble?"

The key to implementing all of Alpha Upsilon's goals was in sending seven brothers to Pi Kapp College in August.

Upon their return, Alpha Upsilon added fighting "date rape" to its list of goals.

The chapter used part of its social budget to put the new Pi Kappa Phi poster,

"Today's Greeks Call It Date Rape," in the centerfold of the school newspaper The Triangle. A subsequent article explained the poster and discussed a number of topics covered at the College.

During the summer and going into the fall term at Alpha Upsilon has received a lot r:[ positive feedback and encouragement fmm Drexel 'Jr,jversity, the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative office, and its Alumni Corporation. The chapter has learned how

change and to improve its image by cooperating with people and by recognizing that influences outside the chapter could be used to Alpha Upsilon's benefit.

On September 24th, Drexel University removed the sanctions it had placed on the Alpha Upsilon chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. On December 7th, at its Founder's Day Breakfast the Alumni Corporation will return the chapter charter to the undergraduate brothers.

Editor's Note

U.S . .Business in Partnership with Pi Kappa Phi

By Stuart Hicks There may be no better example of U.S. business invesunent into the Jives of a group of members of Pi Kappa Phi, and the great contribution by these men into a business, than the example set by one of America's leading real estate firms, JMB Realty Corporation.

JMB, Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, a real estate investment, development and management corporation has grown from its 1968 inception to a 2,400 employee frrm monitoring a $13-billion portfolio of office buildings, shopping center, and aparunent properties. JMB, in recent years, has raised $1-billion annually in equity capital invesunents from individual, pension endowment and foundation sources, making it one of the nation's leaders in conservative real estate imvestment programs.

JMB Realty's wholely-owncd property management subsidiary, JMB Property Management Company, has also become one of the nation's most innovative organizations in improving the return on investment of real estate assets acquired through its parent company. ln total, eleven Pi Kappa Phi alumni work for JMB entities, with eight of those men initiating their contact with JMB through working on the full-time professional staff of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Leading JMB's relationship with Pi Kappa Phi is Kelley A. Bergstrom, President of JMB Property Management Company, and a 1961 initiate of Alpha Omicron Chapter at Iowa State University.

Bergstrom served Pi Kappa Phi as President of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc. from 1972-1981, where he began to touch the lives of a stream of younger maturing fra ternity men and college graduates, some of whom eventually joined JMB Property Management Company: Travis P. Julian (Omicron Chapter, University of Alabama) Julian is Senior Vice President and Regional Manager responsible for all property management operations of JMB's office building portfolio in the Northcentral and Northeastern USA. Julian served Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity as a Chapter Consultant, and Director of Development of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc., from 1973 to 1976. Julian has been with JMB for 10 years and has served on the Executive Committee of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc., for 8 years, currently as its President.

W. Stuart Hicks (Kappa Chapter, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill) Like Julian, Hicks also served as Director of Development for Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc. (1978-1980) before joining JMB. Following three years with real estate development firm Spaulding & Slye in Charlotte, North Carolina he moved to

Travis P. Julian

JMB and is now Senior Vice President responsible for office building marketing and leasing activities in the Eastern U.S. Hicks has been an Executive Committee member of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, Inc., for the past three years.

Sonny O'Droblnak (Omega Chapter, Purdue University) O'Drobinak joined JMB in 1977 after serving Pi Kappa Phi as a leadership consultant for three years.

Following a four year hiatus from JMB to pursue private business interests he returned in 1983 and is now Vice President responsible for property management activities in JMB's office building portfolio in the San Francisco Bay area.

J, Ernest Johnson (Alpha Iota Chapter, Auburn University) Johnson served Pi Kappa Phi as Chapter Consultant and Director of Development from 1980 to 1984 and following a year with real estate developer J.D. Sims & Co. in Charlotte, North Carolina he joined JMB in Chicago in 1985. Johnson has recently been named Vice President in Orlando, Florida and is responsible for office building marketing and leasing functions in the Southeastern

u.s.

David Long (Alpha Iota Chapter, Auburn University) Following a stint with the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office as a Leadership Consultant in 1978 and 1979, Long entered JMB's Management Training Program. He has worked with JMB in several states and now is Building Manager of Permian Mall (Odessa, Texas) responsible for overall management, maintenance, security, marketing and accounting functions of the regional shopping mall.

Jeff Luebker (Epsilon Mu Chapter, Bradley University) Upon graduation from Bradley, in 1985, Luebker entered 1MB's Management Training Program. He has been the Office Leasing Representative responsible for all marketing & leasing activities of a 200,000 square foot suburban office property in Omaha, Nebraska; soon to be relocating to a suburban Chicago office building.

Barry Howell (Gamma Upsilon Chapter, Oklahoma State University) Howell has been with JMB for two years, first as a management associate and now as a Building Manager at a 250,000 square foot downtown office tower in Orlando, Florida.

Like the others, Howell began his contact with JMB through his serving the Fraternity as a Leadership Consultant during 1983.

Glenn Aspinwall (Gamma Kappa Chapter, Georgia Southern College) Joining JMB in August 1986 as an Office Leasing Representative in Cheasapeake, Virginia, responsible for a 220,000 square foot office distribution center, Aspinwall also served the professional staff of Pi Kappa Phi as Leadership Consultant.

Following his 1981 to 1984 Leadership Consultant position he then was a representative for accounting software for

Stuart Hicks

Barry Howell

Control Data in Atlanta, Georgia for 2 years. "Being a newcomer to a company could be a strange feeling," says Aspinwall, "but working for JMB has been like coming back home. There's a reunion, of sorts, here at JMB everytime you tum around."

Steve Smith (Alpha Psi Chapter, Indiana University) A recent entrant into JMB's Management Training Program, Smith is a Management Associate at a 650,000 square foot downtown office tower in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. His fraternity contact came as he served the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office as Director of Communications from 1980 to 1983.

Raymond Brown (Gamma Kappa Chapter, Georgia Southern College) A Building Engineer at a JMB location in Chesapeake, Virginia, Brown was initiated as an alumni initiate at Pi Kapp College in 1986. Brown claims that the influence of the men he has met in Pi Kappa Phi through his professional environment at JMB and through Pi Kapp College has impressed upon him the need to complete his degree. Thus he has now left JMB and returned to school to do so.

Travis Julian has seen many of these Pi Kappa Phi members join JMB and grow with the organization, having been responsible for the corporate recruiting of several of the group. He points out that the shared cornraderie of these fraternity men at JMB is not often a verbalized relationship but instead a quiet trust and commiunent to one another towards hard work to attain excellence for both their employer and themselves.

Bergstrom agrees and smiles when reminded of the personal and professional growth of these fraternity men as they contribute to JMB's broader success.

"These men have become very good at what they do. Our business requires accurate identification of a set of circumstances that a large real estate asset presents (like vacancies or extraordinary expenses), establishing a creative plan to solve the problems or create opportunities, and the energetic, personable effort to get the job accomplished. It seems that these fraternity men we've hired possess the intelligence, team commitment and drive necessary to make good invesunents better invesunents. Much of this ability can be attributed to their experiences from managing their undergraduate chapters and alumni as the National Fraternity's professional traveling staff."

"It has certainly become a productive and meaningful partnership between JMB and our employees the Fraternity has sent us. Both organizations and the individual men have been able to give and receive," Bergstrom adds," and I look forward to continuing this relationship for many years to come."

Sonny O'Drobinak

Glenn Aspinwall

In symbolic recognition of this mutually valuable relationship, JMB Property ManagemenJ has rruul.e a corporate donation for two years to the PI KAPPA PHI FOUNDATION in support of the Foundation's Administrative Office !nJernship Program. This enables the Fraternity to have studenJ members spend one week in on-the-job work experience at the Administrative Office in Charlotte, North Carolina. This program has exposed undergraduates to their National Fraternity 路as well as cemenJing importanl relationships with many chapters. The Foundalion's Administrative Office /nJernship Program is also frequenlly a source of future Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Staff members.

-Durward W. Owen-

JMB Executives Attribute Pi Kappa Phi for Success When asked, former Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Staff members路 will tell you, 'There is no experience that is greater than traveling as a leadership consultant for Pi Kappa Phi right out of school."

Leadership Consultants are.-:> consistently recruited for positions of great responsibility directly from the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office. We asked three JMB Property Management Executives why they felt this was the case.

Travis Julian, Senior Vice Pres-:> Ident-Chicago: "Working for Pi Kappa Phi gave me a chance to make contacts as well as a chance to apply skills and demonstrate an ability to produce. Through the improved skills of persuasion and leadership I was able to get results through other people.

In addition to working with the team you are also forced to work very independently as to your schedule, time and travel and still be productive. This was of ultimate importance."

J, Ernest Johnson, Vice PresidentOrlando: 'The job working with Pi Kappa路 Phi illustrated the need for and results of goals. You could never lose sight of your objectives to maintain a high-level of excellence and perpetuate a pride, a sense of belonging and maybe most importantly, a sense of accomplishment.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that everything I do from this day forward in business (and personally) has been substantially shaped and attributed to the challenges and opportunities presented me through my experience while working with our fraternity."

Stuart Hicks, Senior Vice W. President-Chicago: "In my opinion there was no better place at so early an age to learn that hard and smart work pays off, to learn to lead, motivate, and to influence others, and be exposed to such excellent role models."

Pi Kapp Adventurer On His WayThanks To His Brothers "It is truly an honor for me to be a Brother in Pi Kappa Phi. The strength in the bonds of Brotherhood has been shown to me as never before when I recently reached out to my Fraternity for help.

This began when I decided to undertake a major project in my life as a participant in "Operation Raleigh" - a round-the-world expedition involved with scientific research, community service and high adventure assignments. My expedition will tab~ me from Osaka, Japan to Australia aboard a 75-foot sailboat. As you ct.., imagine, it is an in:::rdL'.~ opportunity for me, and I was determined to make this dream a reality, but there was a major obstacle in my path.

The task before me was to raise $5,500.00 (each Venturer must secure) before the departure date of my expedition. Immediately, I began to spread the word about my financial need to family, friends and community members. Within a few weeks, contributions began to make their way to Operation Raleigh, USA Headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina. I phoned the office weekly to check on the status of my fundraising efforts and I found that something quite exciting was happening. My list of contributions was being dominated by Brothers, alumni and little sisters of Pi Kappa Phi! I received several contributions from individuals whose names did not sound familiar to me, but the three Greek letters written as a memo on their checks caused me to realize that the bonds of my Fraternity run deeper than I ever imagined they could.

I have now met my goal and raised all of the necessary funds, over hl!.)f of the total amount raised came from supporters associated with Pi Kappa Phi! This has made such a profound statement to me, particularly since it has been several years since I graduated from my alma mater, Stetson University, and I thought the meaningful days of my involvement with Pi Kappa Phi were over. Indeed, I have found that I have never been prouder and more excited about being a Pi Kapp."

Sincerely Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, Tim Bailey

Fraternity Singing "Comeback Prompts New Songbook" A revival of Fraternity singing across the country has prompted the need to publish a new Pi Kappa Phi songbook. A committee has been formed and organizers arc requesting that those in possession of music and lyrics for Fraternity songs submit them to the Pi Kappa Phi Administrative Office.

Fraternity singing and "serenading", a long-time Fraternity tradition has seen a comeback as a result of successful chap-

ter's efforts to return it. Pi Kappa Phi chapters such as Florida State's Beta Eta chapter and Samford University's Alpha Eta chapter have found singing to be a positive part of Fraternity.

"Singing is the singlemost symbolic way a chapter can illustrate that working together, 'in harmony', is the way toward success," says Dr. Philip Summers, National Council Secretary, ..in addition to being

a very constructive enjoyable Brotherhood activity."

Alumni and undergraduates are asked to submit sheet music of Pi Kappa Phi songs from the past and present along with a demonstration tape to; "Pi Kappa Phi Songs, P.O. Box 240526, Charlotte, NC 28224." Published copies of the Pi Kappa Phi songbook are expected to be available by late fall 1987.

The Guest Program ...

Dallas has something for everyone including parents, wives, children, and any other guests you may bring along.

A full lady's program will provide trips to the biggest names in retail and excursions to some of the worlds most luxurious malls. Galleries, gardens and other sights to see will compliment relaxation by the pool or the simmering nightlife in Dallas.

Make Dallas a stop on your family vacation. The southwest has plenty to offer for continuing a journey beyond the 41st Supreme Chapter.

An Interview with Jim Firster, new Executive Director of PUSH Q.

1

In assuming the position of Executive Director of PUSH, what experiences do you bring with you that may benefit the organization?

A. In coming to PUSH, I bring with me over six years of administrative experience in various corporate settings. I like to think that I have developed some organizational skills during that period. I also think that my knowledge of health care systems and adaptive environments for special populations will be of assistance.

Too, I have been involved in coordinating volunteers and working with young people. My experience in program development and staff training range from directing teachers in curriculum changes to writing policies and procedures in a large corporate structure.

Q. What have you found to be the most pressing needs at PUSH? A. Fundamentally PUSH is a healthy and prospering corporation with a very bright future. Although, we have identified several areas that we would like to improve upon.

First, as in any relationship, communication is a key. I want to increase communications and the collaborative efforts among various segments of our staff as well as between Pi Kappa Phi and PUSH .

There is tremendous potential within and immediately surrounding PUSH . The ties between PUSH and Pi Kappa Phi have

An Afternoon at Holy Angels: new home to the latest PUSH unit

by Scott E. Evans 'Tm kind of busy," I remembered saying when asked to drive over to nearby Belmont, North Carolina for a showing of the newest PUSH Unit in the Holy Angels Handicap Facility. The PUSH office needed someone from the National Office to attend and my card was up.

I didn't need to be there until 1:30 p.m., so I worked all morning at the Admmmrative Office. It was the peak busy time of the year for the Director of Communications position and any involuntary realignment of my priorities was looked at with disdain. I packed up my camera case and off I went to Holy Angels, a little weary and slightly irritable.

Upon entering Holy Angels, self described as a "community-based, developmental, residential center for the multihandicapped children", one is immediately greeted by a kind elderly woman behind the reception desk. The reception area is not unlike that of my old pediatrician's office. I was soon taken by the classroom director, named Ann, to the area where the PUSH unit was placed.

The room was full of people; there were Pi Kappa Phi sweatshirts, blueblasers and ties, and regular campus-wear.

They were gatl1ered around one side of the PUSH unit with its different modules rising from the floor Like giant building blocks.

They were talking to new PUSH Executive Director Jim Firster and Holy Angels Executive Director, Regina Moody. I saw faces from N.C. State, Appalachian State, UNC-Charlotte and Lenoir-Rhyne; schools as different as night and day but joined together to see their fraternity's service project.

Sneaking around the huddle of Pi Kapps, I joined the other group in the room. With my camera perched, I decided to play with the kids on the PUSH unit.

With the help of two of the Holy Angels staff I was introduced to Pi Kappa Phi's latest friends. While I was introduced I was told, by Nancy and Kim of the Holy Angels, about the excitement surrounding tl1e PUSH unit and how the kids were responding to it after only one day.

I was introduced to David, who enjoyed the waterbed module expccially as it made his bouncing motion fun as he played with the bells that hung from the ceiling. On the other side of tl1e unit was Sharon who was "into" the slideshow module which featured pictures of her and her classmates around Holy Angels. Like any teenage girl she was very shy but unlike most she was a special child also.

traditionally been the foundation of PUSH. While PUSH continues to grow and trans form we cannot take those ties for granted and, in fact, should actively be doing everything we can to strengthen and expand them.

I am also very conscious of our risk of liability, particularly with our PUSH Individualized Care Services (PICS). We must continue to be diligent in our monitoring of the foster children, their families, and the total environments for which we are responsible. Risk management seems to be a parlnership between agressive training and the constant monitoring of cases by professionals.

There is also the uncertainty concerning the economic future of foster care. For the most part, this is an issue which remains out of our hands unless we arc willing to lobby the state legislature, something I do not think we should rule out.

Last, yet equally important, I see a need to develop a coherent marketing strategy. Except for Pi Kappa Phi and professionals in the field of severely handicap care, PUSH has never been a recognizable household word. There are lots of things we should be doing to expose ourselves in the public forum. One place to start will be with a battery of marketing materials and articulate, who we are and what we do. We would also like to see more advantage taken of all the special events which are held on our behalf by Pi Kappa Phi. For every PUSH-A-THON,

Watching over Sharon's shoulder at the slides was Forrest who was strapped into a child safety seal. With a smile as wide as his whole face he turned toward my camera. Forrest was the "ham" of the group.

The spiritual leader of the group was young Trey. He was everywhere you turned, laughing, smiling, mugging toward the camera. Nancy told me that he was extremely special to the group; a class clown of sorts you might say.

As I snapped each picture my irritability and stress from the week drained from my neck. As I looked around I spotted, sitting next to Sharon, a little girl introduced as Elizabeth. Elizabeth didn't really focus on any portion of the unit in particular and seemed content to just sit next to Sharon. As I crouched down to take a picture of Elizabeth, Nancy told her to smile. Without further prompting she rose from her seated position and, arms outstretched, kissed me on the forehead and gave me a hug that I will not soon forget. She held on as she sat upon my knee and was happy there.

I thartk Pi Kappa Phi's all over the country who, arms outstretched, raise money for PUSH and the great things it docs, allowing these beautiful special children a place to grow. I thartk every Pi Kapp for the hug and kiss from 11-year-old Elizabeth at Holy Angels.

As I drove back to Charlotte I felt a lot different than when I had arrived as I suspected all the Pi Kapps in attendance that afternoon felL A pride, a relaxation, a spirit that we at the Administrative Office commonly refer to as the "old natty fratty chill". Thartk you Forest, Trey, Sharon, David and Elizabeth.

Trey

MARATHON, DANCE-A-THON, POLE SITTING, etc... chapters should be getting local proclamations signed and their story in the media. By doing some very simple things we can vastly increase our exposure and money raised.

Q. What will be your agenda for the next six months?

A. There are a number of things whiclf I will be working on in the upcoming weeks and months.

I will be seeing my first unit installed at Holy Angels in Belmont, North Carolina the first week in March. After that we will be working with the local chapters to come up with money to pay for it.

I am also very excited about the design and development of the PICS bedroom. We will be adapting traditional PUSH designs which have been used in institutions to a home setting for one of our 32 foster children. We hope to see it complete and installed by May !st.

Of course, a project which will remain in the forefront will be "PUSH Place", our first outdoor environment, at t11e Murdoch Center in Bumer, North Carolina. This is the largest project ever undertaken by PUSH and will require the ongoing support of both students and alumni of Pi Kappa Phi. In addition to monitoring several other facilites and chapters throughout the country that would like to acquire some type of PUSH environment, I will be involved in following up on all of the

New PUSH Executive Director Jim Firster at the Holy Angels Center discussing the recently placed PUSH unit. units which have been placed.

I will also be in the process of defining the responsibilities of tl1e new Assistant Director's position. The board just approved this position of a one year trial period. Ken Kaiser, Pi Kappa Phi Leadership Consultant, has been asked to fill this position and will begin June 1st.

We will also be advertising for a summer internship. The Intern will work out of Morganton and assist with grant writing, PUSH Individualized Care Services (PICS), and various other administrative work.

I think that the various projects as well as generally investigating and organizing the future directions of PUSH should sufficiently keep myself and others busy for the next six months.

Forrest If you have never had the opportunity to see the fruits of your FraJernity's national service efforts I would strongly recommend it. There are a number of locations thaJ would be more that glad to show you, as a Pi Kappa Phi, their PUSH unit. These locaJions are:

Anna Mental Health & Development Center Anna, IL Laurelton Center Laurelton, PA Sunland Center Gainesville, FL Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters Norfolk, VA Partlow State School & Hospital Tuscaloosa, AL Oover Bottom Devlopmcnt Center Nashville, TN Georgia Retardation Center Atlanta, GA Woodhaven Ccnter{femple University Philadelphia, PA Sunshine Children's Home Maumee, OH Woodw~~~:d State School & Hospital Woodward, IO Holy Angels Belmont, NC

PUSH Surmner Internship Applications Being Taken Beginning in the summer of 1987, PUSH will fund one ten-week internship for undergraduate members of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. The intern, who will be selected on a competitive basis, will join tl1e staff of PUSH in Morganton, North Carolina for a full time work/study experience. The intern will receive a stipend of $2000, plus free housing .

In addition to monetary rewards, the PUSH intern will be granted three hours of course credit through Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.

Credit will be given for independent study in the area of special education, but the intern will be responsible for negotiating tlte transfer of credits back to his college or university.

The intern will be provided with a variety of challenging and, hopefully, enriching experiences. This opportunity will be particularly beneficial to men considering careers in the areas of special education, psychology, or other human services fields. A thorough and personal knowledge of PUSH is another anticipated outcome of tlte experience.

Strong writing and communication ski lls are necessary as the PUSH intern will play an active role in writing grant proposals. In addition the intern will, based on his strengths and background, become involved with case management, working with public and private agencies and design of both equipment and

marketing materials. To the extent possible, every effort will be made to customdesign t11e internship experience so as to provide maximum benefit to the man selected.

Only sophomore and junior members of the Fratemrity are invited to apply. Applications must be received no later than April 30, 1987, in order to be considered.

Those wishing to apply should submit the following information to Jim Firster, PUSH, Inc., P.O. Box 1972 Morgantion, NC 28655:

1. A brief resume contammg vital statistics, including name, date of birth, mailing address, telephone number, school, chapter, class, major, grade point average, previous employment and voluntary activities, extra-curricular activities, honors or offices awarded or held, and previous involvement in PUSH. 2. A certified copy of all courses and grades.

3. A typed justification, of no more than two pages in length, of why you think you should be selected as the intern. This document may include previous interest in or activities on behalf of the handicapped, current interest both inside and outside of the classroom, future career and service goals, and a statement of what you would hope to accomplish through an internship experience.
