Super Regiona biggest area meeting ever

SPRING 1989 Vol. LXXV No. 2 A LEADERSHIP/EDUCATION PUBLICATION %ID

--TRASH BASH

Spring semester was"conclave season" for the Fraternity with seven area meetings befit held for chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. A total of about 1,050 students and 116 chapters and colonies attended the conclaves.

The conclaves are hosted annually by different chapters within each "area" of the Fraternity. By far the largest of the 1989conclaves was held in Atlanta, Ga., for three areas - the first "combination conclave" in the history of Pi Kappa Phi. Area governors Arthur Quickenton, Ronald deValinger and Frank Havard, of Areas II,III and V,respectively, polled their chapters at Pi Kapp College and selected Atlanta as the site.

Super Regional Conclave was held at the Omni Hotel the weekend of Feb. 3-5.

More chapters from Area II, 20 of 23, than ever before attended this year's conclave.

Area III had 18 of 20, and Area V had 13 of 15 chapters in attendance. The total chapters present were 51 with about 450 students attending. In fact, more Pi Kapps attended Super Regional Conclave than Pi Kapp College.

"I thoroughly enjoyed it," deValinger said."It was a pleasure working with Art and Frank,and it was nice to get all the chapters in the Southeast together. We hope to do it again next year."

From Alpha Eta Chapter-Samford University's Adopt-a-School program to Chi Chapter-Stetson University's work with abused children,Pi Kappa Phi chapters across the county are making a difference in their communities - and bringing positive public relations to the Fraternity.

Members ofChi recently volunteered to carry a 600lb. playhouse donated to the Volusia County (Fla.) Emergency Shelter for Abused Children to the back yard of the facility. Their picture in the local paper helped publicize an afternoon's work.

The PUSH Board of Directors recently named Ken Kaiier executive director of People Understanding the Severely Handicapped,clearing the way for new and exciting opportunities for Pi Kappa Phi's national service project.

Kaiser, formerly the assistant director of PUSH and a Pi Kappa Phi leadership consultant, has made great strides in accom-

plishing one of his goals in his new position. Kaiser's"realignment of PUSH and Pi Kappa Phi"began with the inception of the PUSH Academy Leadership Institute, a national leadership conference for PUSH chairmen.The institute coincided with the Mid-Year Leadership Conferences in January.

VallIEVISSUES Briefly...

Ad hoc committee to study alternatives to 'traditional' pledging An ad hoc committee has been appointed by the National Council of Pi Kappa Phi to study the traditional pledge concept and alternatives to it.

The committee's appointment follows the Fraternity Executives Association's endorsement of the abolition of pledging and is in accordance with the National Interfraternity Conference's directive to member I raternities to study the issue.

The task force is made up of alumni members Gary Leonard, Dr. Patrick Figley, and Scott Evenbeck.

• Colonizations are scheduled this semester at the University of Washington, Alpha Delta reactivation; Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis; Albright College; North Carolina Wesleyan; University of Maryland; Queens College; and Atlantic Christian College.

• Fraternity Insurance Purchasing Group, Inc. membership is up to 27.

Six national fraternities have joined within the last three months: Alpha Gamma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Phi, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Sigma and Tau Kappa Epsilon.

FIPG President Durward Owen estimates that 60 percent of all fraternity chapters and undergraduates are now subject to the group's risk management policy.

• Alumni yearning to don the ritual robes once again and participate in a chapter initiation should contact Dr. Patrick Figley, Peninsular Counseling Center, 2819 Horatio Street, Tampa, Fla. 33609. Figley has formed an allalumni initiation team, which recently held initiations for Chi ChapterStetson University and Zeta Eta Chapter-University of South Florida.

Figley is an initiate of Chi and serves Zeta Eta as chapter advisor.

• A University of Florida life sciences building was dedicated to the late biology professor Archie Carr, Jr., an alumnus of Davidson College's Epsilon Chapter, on April 5. Carr was an internationally-celebrated conservationist and early leader of the environmental movement in Florida. Carr was on the UF faculty from 1937 till his death in 1987. He transferred as an undergraduate from Davidson to Florida where he was active in Alpha Epsilon Chapter.

• Four new chapter advisors have been appointed by the National President of Pi Kappa Phi. They are Steven L. Calton, Gamma GammaTroy State University; Doug Klunk, Epsilon Beta-Grand Valley State College; Dr. Marshall Hall, Epsilon Gamma-Longwood College and Jeffrey B. Sargent, Gamma NuLaGrange College. Sargent is an initiate of Gamma Psi ChapterAugusta College.

Fraternity values:'And the greatest of these is love' This constitutes the fifth and last in a series of articles which for the past 1 1/2 years have tried to elucidate something about fraternity values. Probably many of you reading this article don't rememberor weren't around when the series began.

The preceding four articles have by no means exhausted the issues they have raised.

But I do hope that they have served to provoke some discussion individually and corporately about the values which must act as a foundation for our Fraternity.

Through these conversations, I hope at least it has become clear that residing within these values is our mission,our goals,and,in the end, our identity. We are not talking about some preaching morality or a pie-inthe-sky set of unreachable "ideals." Rather we are talking about our very reason for being,about why we were founded,and why we should continue to exist.

Without a firm and continual grounding on this underpining of values, we become what our detractors are quick to describe: a self-serving pack of hedonists.

I've used as a basis for these five articles five principles which were enumerated by the National Interfraternity Conference's Commission on Values and Ethnics. They are: loyalty, morality, responsibility, commitment, and love.

At first, they seemed noble enough, but why are these specified as fraternity values?

The task was to get them out of the ether,and bring them down to earth where they can be felt,touched,smelled,and,most ofall,talked about in the fraternity context.

I have saved the most important word: love, for last, There is no question it is the most difficult word to talk about; but what is behind the word is what's behind the four preceeding words. It is the "motivation" to be responsible or committed or moral or

Fraternity is every bit as deep as the word love.., a group ofbrothers who are strong enough to care because we are big enough to let love be the basis ofour brotherhood.

- National ChaplainThomas Sayre

LAST IN A SERIES loyal. One of the problems with the word "love" is how much it has been damaged by cliched overuse of an enormous magnitude.

With every melancholy teen-idol movie script or every twangy country and western ballad, the word love retreats further into fuzzy confusion.

Partly because of all the misuse of the word love,it probably seems strangely out of place to many in a discussion of fraternity. I can hear many of you almost recoil at the mere mention of the word. We are, after all, a fraternal organization. We are men, we play football, we go cruising, we try to keep our cool, we do manly things. What's this "love" stuff?

First of all, let me define the word as what it is not. Love in the context of fraternity is not romantic love. While real love between the sexes is of utmost importance to life, my own and probably most of yours, it is but a subset ofthe kind oflove talked about for Christians in the Bible,for Muslins in the Koran, in the Upanishads for the Hindus.

In all these religions, love is the basic medium of positive interaction between humans and the world. It is divine in nature, i.e., God given, and on some level, accounts for all admirable human action.

It is what binds us together in spite of near unfathomable diversity. It is what overcomes (if we let it) the tragedy of being

human: that we hurt each other, that we are unkind to each other, that we even kill each other.

It is the motivation for the truly great art, engineering, and indeed all great human endeavors. It is what's left when you have the courage to close your eyes and feel the bond with one's parents, spouse, or best friend. It is ultimately what enables us to cut through all our tedious differences and connect with another human being - someone we might call a brother.

When I imagine how we began as a fraternity an image emergesofFogarty,Kroeg and Mixson as three young men who shared a desire for brotherhood, expressed that to others, and eventually fashioned a structure for it to live in and be propagated. At its deepest, what was ultimately shared was love. When we think of responsibility, commitment, loyalty, brotherhood, they are actually articulations or actions which flow out of love.

If these series of articles has done nothing else, I hope it has established that fraternity at its best, the fraternity that we should aspire to, is every bit as deep as the word love. Fraternity should - and I mean the judgmental tone here - fraternity should be a group of brothers who are strong enough to care because we are big enough to let love be the basis of our brotherhood.

Alumni support needed to uphold fraternity's risk management policy Continued from page I Council's action in adopting the policy by incorporating several key points of the policy into Supreme Law. Because the Supreme Chapter meets only once every two years, the National Council has the authority to act in the Fraternity's interest between Supreme Chapters. It was necessary for the National Council to adopt the purchasing group's risk management policy to guarantee that the Fraternity continue to be able to purchase liability insurance. Without FIPG membership, insurance premiums would not be affordable.

The following additions to Supreme Law are necessary to bring it in line with the Fraternity's current risk management policy under FIPG: •Appoint the social chairman to be the chapter's"risk managementspecialist."FIPG policy mandates that each chapter have a person designated to act in this capacity. The National Council resolved last June that the social chairman be that person.

•Ban the purchase of alcoholic beverages through the chapter treasury or such purchases "undertaken or coordinated by any student member in the name of or on behalf of the student chapter."

•Forbid the co-sponsorship of events "with an alcoholic distributor, charitable organization or tavern ... where alcohol is given away, sold or otherwise provided to those present," and also co-sponsorship or financing of functions in which alcohol is

purchased by "any of the host student chapters, groups or organizations."

•Prohibit the use ofalcohol at associate member/pledge functions.

Another proposed Supreme Law change related to the fraternity's insurance policy, but not necessary under FIPG's current risk management policy,is mandatory insurance for all chapters.

The proposal would require all chapters to acquire liability insurance through the National Fraternity's policy; the costs would be charged to chapters on a per capita basis.

It is expected that FIPG will soon incorporate this requirement into its risk management policy.

While these proposals may spark controversy at the 42nd Supreme Chapter, students this year have been very cooperative in abiding by Pi Kappa Phi's risk management policy, said Executive Director Durward

Owen.

"I think students have begun to realize that in today's world fraternity members must act responsibly. Society is no longer tolerant of alcohol abuse, hazing and date rape - and it shouldn't be," Owen said.

He said one surprising twist to the adoption ofthe policy has been resistance from alumni. In some chapters, alumni have been the ones unwilling to change outdated traditions, even though the students realize the need for change.

"Alumni members have got to realize that students are operating under a different set of circumstances than when many of us were undergraduates," he said.

"Alumni who continue to perpetuate the attitude that hazing and underage drinking are a normal, even expected, part of fraternity life are risking their chapters' existence."

Strategic plan to be voted on at convention A committee of about 15 alumni members ofPi Kappa Phi,with the input of nearly 100 others, has been working on the creation of a long-range strategic plan for the Fraternity.

After months ofevaluating the 198889 strategic plan, alumni and undergraduate members were asked to document their suggestions for a more comprehensive, long-term plan that would incorporate the diverse subsidiaries of Pi Kappa Phi into one mission.

Their work culminated in the formation of a strategic planning committee, made up of National Council members, committee chairmen and other alumni volunteers,under the chairmanship of Mike O'Donnell.

The committee met at the Administrative Office in March and came up with a rough draft of the new plan. The results of the committee's work will be presented to the Supreme Chapter meeting in Washington, D.C., Aug. 5-9.

Conclaves bring 1,050 students together for education and fun Continued from page I helped make the conclave the success that it was," Quickenton said.

Area I breaks its own records The 1989 Area I Conclave, heldJan. 2728, was one ofthe mostsuccessful conclaves ever held in Area I with new records being set for attendance.

In attendance were 194 Pi Kapps - a new record for Area I - for an average of over 11 men per chapter. That broke Area I's previous record of 132 set last year. Alpha TauRennsselaer Polytechnic Institute won the award for the highest percentage in attendance. They arrived with 23 of45 members.

Otherchapters with high attendance were Zeta Kappa-Stockton State University and Epsilon Psi-Slippery Rock University,each with 23 attending. Epsilon Theta-Seton Hall University had nearly 50 percent of its members in attendance.

Although there are only 16 chapters in Area I, 17 were represented because Alpha Rho Chapter-West Virginia University attended the conclave.

Alpha Mu-Pennsylvania State University was host chapter."I would like to thank Casey Moore,conclave chairman,Eric Soller, archon,and the brothers of Alpha Mu Chapter," said Area I Governor James Krucher, noting Beta Alpha Chapter-New Jersey Institute of Technology had the most alumni present.

Alpha Tau in New York and Zeta Kappa near Atlantic City have asked to host the Area I Conclave in 1990. A final date and place will be selected at the Supreme Chapter in August. Other chapters interested in hosting the conclave should contact Krucher at 3 Burgh Avenue, Clifton, N.J. 07011.

Area IV holds 'snowy' conclave For most people, a February weekend getaway in Ann Arbor, Mich. doesn't sound like a lot of fun. But despite the cold and snow,the trip to the Area IV Conclave at the University of Michigan proved to be enjoy-

able for Pi Kapps from all over the Midwest.

Almost 80 Pi Kapps were on hand for the conclave, representing nine of 12 area chapters. Alpha Kappa hosted the event, held Feb. 10-11.

Three staff members for People Understanding the Severely Handicapped were in attendance, Executive Director Ken Kaiser, Director of Communications T.J. Sullivan and PUSH America Project Director Jim Karlovec. All three come from chapters in Area IV. Area IV chapter advisors played a significant role in the conference with the host chapter's Carl Koch leading a session on recruitment, Beta Gamma-University of Louisville's Jerry Ford discussing leadership, and Alpha Psi-University of Indiana's Steve Sanders facilitating a member education round table.

Other speakers included National Treasurer Dr. Phillip Summers on singing and public relations,Leadership Consultant Dean Divis on risk management, and Area IV Governor Mark Jacobs on hazing and member education.

Area VI meets at new AO house Over 100 undergraduate members from eight of the nine chapters in Area VI descended on Ames, Iowa for the Feb. 11-13 conclave - a weekend ofbrotherhood,socializing and sharing of experiences.

Eleven members ofthe newest associate chapter,Colorado State University,traveled over 700 miles from Fort Collins to attend.

The colony is the only Pi Kapp group in Area VIII; therefore, it attended the Area VI Conclave.Zeta Gamma-University of North Dakota also traveled a great distance to participate in the annual regional leadership conference.

As the participants arrived on Friday evening, they were treated to a tour of the newly-completed, 72-man fraternity house of Alpha Omicron Chapter-Iowa State University.

Dr.Frank M.Parrish,acting area governor,opened the conclave with a goal-setting exercize. Jeff Caufaude, ISU's new Greek

affairs coordinator,presented a video tape of a national television program that portrayed the typical negative stereotypes of fraternity members. His concluding advise to the undergraduates was,"Don't do stupid things!"

Brian Leckrone, Alpha Omicron's livein graduate advisor, led a discussion of the questions being raised about the role of the associate member in the fraternity.

The conclave concluded with many of the participants attending an ISU hockey game.

Area VII converges on Texas capital Area VII Conclave was hosted by Zeta Theta Chapter-University of Texas-Austin.

Attendees enjoyed a schedule of excellent speakers and topics as well as early "springtime" weather in the Texas capital on Feb.24 -26.

Over 85 students, representing eight of nine chapters in Area VII,attended this year's conclave program.On Friday,attendees were greeted at the Zeta Theta chapter house in a "Welcome to Austin" kickoff party.

The next day the conclave program began with Executive Director Durward Owen's session on liability and insurance issues. Attorney Paul S. Drake, who was instrumental in Zeta Theta'schartering,spoke on housing and member education. Scott Wilder, director of the UT Interfraternity Council,spoke on the issues of hazing and its consequences, citing recent court cases as examples.

PUSH's Sullivan talked about the Fraternity's national service project. Judy O'Neill,of the UT Career Center,discussed career planning and job interviewing.

Several chapter advisors and alumni were also present, including chapter advisors Billy Jacobs, UT-Arlington associate chapter; Dave Deitzen, Zeta Theta; Bob Welsh, Epsilon Omega-Texas Tech; Bean Nichols,Gamma Upsilon-Oklahoma State's housing corporation president; and Area VII Councilor Ed Jesko.

"Mom" Fehring, Gamma Upsilon's house mother,joined the undergrads for the day's activities. Alex Kanakis served the host chapter as conclave chairman.

Chapters interested in hosting next year's Area VII Conclave should contact Area Governor Steve Smith at 1816 S. Carson #334, Tulsa, Okla. 74119.

Area IX treated to Conclave Dance About 80 undergraduate members attended Area IX Conclave, with 12 of 13 chapters in attendance. Area IX's two associate chapters, at Marshall University and Averett College, were also in attendance.

Epsilon Pi Chapter-Virginia Commonwealth University hosted the Jan. 27 event, providing a continental breakfast and formal dinner.

The event was coordinated by Michael Moates, vice archon at Epsilon Pi, who received an award for his efforts. The award was presented by Leadership Consultant Bill Maycock.

"Epsilon Pi would like to thank Bill Combs,our area governor, for his help, patience and supervision ofthis event," Moates said.

Joe Brady, former vice president of Pi Kappa Phi Properties,gave a presentation on leadership and motivation.Sullivan explained the true meaning behind the Fraternity's service project with a slide presentation.

Other guest speakers included American University's dean of students, and Old Dominion University's and VCU's greek advisors.Concurrent sessions on rush,ritual, and member education were also held.

alumniantEr Daniel Dreisbach He's an Oxford graduate, an attorney and the author of a new book He's not your "typical" lawyer. Daniel Dreisbach is a Rhodes scholar who studied at Oxford University before entering law school. Considered an expert in church-state relations, his interest in that aspect of law stems from his childhood experiences with African tribes and his missionary parents.

Dreisbach, a Pi Kapp alumnus from the University of South Carolina-Spartanburg, graduated last May from the University of Virginia Law School and is currently serving a one-year judicial clerkship with a federal court judge in South Carolina. He entered law school "fresh"from earning his doctorate in politics from Oxford.

The focus of so much of Dreisbach's work and life has been religion, and it's easy to understand why. The son of American medical missionaries, he was born in Nigeria and raised among impoverished African tribes. This early experience ultimately found shape in the crux of his studies and work: church-state relations.

"My parents were deeply religious," he says,"and in the context of my parents' work, one could see the tensions between various religious groups." Observing this conflict helped make Dreisbach aware of a similar conflict,.that between church and state.

He has recently authored a book on the subject, Real Threat and Mere Shadow: Religious Liberty and the First Amendment. The critically acclaimed book addresses religious freedom and church-state relations.

Dreisbach has been called "a leading authority" on the historical origins of the First Amendment religion clauses.

The book has been controversial in its examination of these origins. Dreisbach contends that the Supreme Court's interpretation of historical facts surrounding the drafting of the Constitution "erected an extraconstitutional wall of seperation between church and state."

"The basic premise of my book is that if the Supreme Court based seperation of church and state on history and history is wrong, we need to reexamine the laws," he said.

"I think there are different kinds of church-state seperation. I don't like the idea of a school board prescribing prayers for forced participation. On the other hand, I was involved in a case where the validictorian of a school wanted to refer to her religious beliefs in her graduation speech and was told she couldn't. I believe that the stripping of public life of all religion is a dangerous practice."

Upon completion of his clerkship, Dreisbach plans to follow his convictions to Manassas,Va.to work as a full-time attorney for the Rutherford Institute. The institute is a nonprofit, public interest legal and educational foundation,specializing in the defense of civil and religious liberties. "To me,it's a good mix ofopportunities because they're involved in litigation as well as educational functions," Dreisbach said, noting that he's worked for the institute before.

As a clerk for Judge Robert F. Chapman with the U.S.

foto His resume reads like the imaginative outline for an adventure novel. He has traveled with pilgrims to the medieval Greek Orthodox monasteries on the "sacred" and sequestered slopes of Mount Athos in northern Greece, marched alongside the Holy Week Processions in Granada, Spain, traversed the Sahara Desert with the camel caravans of Islamic nomads and witnessed

the animalistic rituals of West African medicine men as they sought to exorcise the spirits of the dead.

- Excerpt from the Virginia Law Weekly Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Dreisbach researches cases up for review. "Working on the Court of Appeals is an academic pursuit," he says,"sort of an ivory-tower type of experience."

A founding father of the now-dormant Epsilon Lambda Chapter, Dreisbach received his bachelor's degree in government and international studies from USCS in 1981. In his senior year there he was awarded a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship - the first from the University ofSouth Carolina system in half a century. The next fall he enrolled at the Lady Margaret Hall college of Oxford University.

"The University,in essence, is a loose and anarchic federation of 35 autononious colleges," Dreisbach writes in an article for On Target. "Each college is a self-governing academic and social community....

Member Recommendation Form For a quarter you can help give a young man a lifetime experience - and make your fraternity stronger.

A valuable source of new undergraduate members of Pi Kappa Phi comes from alumni recommending young men for membership. An alumni recommendation may be a son,a neighbor,a colleague's son,or any young man that is entering college this fall or has recently entered college.

Upon receiving a member recommendation from an alumnus,the Administrative Office writes a letter to the chapter at the young man's college or university requesting the chapter to contact the person recommended.The chapter also is requested to inform both the Administrative Office and the alumnus of the outcome of this contact.

If you know ofsomeone you would like to recommend for membership in Pi Kappa Phi,please fill in as much of the following information as you are able:

Your Name School you attended Your Address Name of Recommendation His Address

His Phone School he plans to attend Send to: Administrative Office, Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, P.O. Box 240526, Charlotte, NC 28224

Pi Kappa Phi Foundation Wills and Bequests ThepiKeppe Phi Foundation offers alumni many different ways to give to help keep Pi Kapp strong. One of these ways is through the wills and bequests program.

If you don't have a will in many states the government will absorb your estate. You can give to the Foundation through making it a beneficiary of your will. You can even name the Foundation as a 'contingent' beneficiary.

That means the Foundation will receive other funds if one or more of your heirs don't survive you.

Recent bequests to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation were received from the estate of Steven Thatcher of Beta Xi, Central Michigan; and the will of Ladd Prucha of Upsilon, Illinois. Other contributions include gifts in honor of Art Quickenton of Delta Zeta, Appalachian State, and James Turk of Xi, Roanoke; and gifts in memory of Jabe Hardee, Ill of Delta Zeta, Appalachian State, and Jack Snider of Alpha Delta , Washington.

The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation provides financial assistance to deserving students.

Through alumni donations to the Foundation, Pi Kappa Phi is able to award numerous scholarships and loans.

chaptEr spotlight Pi Kappa Phi charters four more campuses Zeta-Wofford

Gamma Lambda Chapter-University of Missouri-Rolla and Epsilon Mu ChapterBradley University performed the ritual and gave the new members a sound foundation to start its own rituals.

Beta Epsilon is proud to be a part of the University of Missouri. This year,"Mizzou" celebrates its 150th birthday - it is the first land-grant university west of the Mississippi River. Beta Epsilon will be the only chapter on campus to charter during this sesquicentennial year.

Zeta rechartering founders The chapter has chartered and rechartered many times since it first became a chapter in 1949. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Beta Epsilon. It also marks a renewed vigor and pride found in every new member who has pledged himself to excellence.

During the rechartering process, the chapter regained its house. Since then, the house has undergone many improvements; renovated bathrooms, repainted walls, a refurnished stairway and a deck are just a few of the initial projects the members have completed.The chapter will paint the outside this summer and eventually will build a television room and more bedrooms in the basement.

Members of Beta Epsilon at the rechartering banquet Many feared Beta Epsilon would suffer "post-chartering blues." However,the chapter rebounded by participating in Greek Week with Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority. During the week of April 2-9,Beta Epsilon presented its version of Peter Pan, complete with acting, singing and dancing. The event provided the chapter with positive publicity.

The chapter hopes to pledge 20 new associates during formal rush, and Beta Epsilon members place PUSH high on their list of priorities. The local Pizza Hut has become a sponsor for the chapter's "PUSH Olympics,"to be held in the fall of 1989.The chapter hopes to raise $15,000 during this event.

Beta Epsilon Chapter has exited the CSUN's chapter of Pi Kappa Phi "dark tunnel" they traveled for 15 months.

All they can see now is a bright light that guides them every day,that light being brotherhood.

The Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, one of the Fraternity's oldest chapters, was recently rechartered on the campus of Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The chapter's original charter was suspended in 1987,at the request ofZeta alumni members. Weak leadership and organization had resulted in a gradual membership decline which left the chapter uncompetitive.

The Administrative Office sent Jeff Michael to solicit interest in restarting Zeta Chapter last spring. The initial recruits came primarily from varsity sports teams, so the men already shared a friendship and a desire to perpetuate and deepen their friendship.

Following a successful fall rush, the group of 50 was gradually pared down to 34 genuinely dedicated men, plus three members from the chapter before reorganization.

On Feb. 6, the men took their written national test and then spent the night together at the house, working out new goals, since the primary goal of"winning back the charter" was about to be realized. And indeed,on Feb. 7, after an oral exam, the men were initiated as brothers of Pi Kappa Phi. Beta Chapter-Presbyterian College, Delta Chapter-Furman University,and Sigma Chapter-University of South Carolina-Columbia performed the initiation at First Presbyterian Church.

Pi Kappa Phi officials in attendance were National Secretary Jerry Brewer, Assistant Executive Director Glenn Dickson, and Leadership Consultant Bill Maycock and Michael.

"I feel honored to have helped these 'guys from the beginning (of the reorganization) to brotherhood," Michael said.

The following evening, Executive Director Durward Owen was the head speaker at a banquet for the new initiates. Connie Snipes and Jim Switzer, two alumni whose help was fundamental in guiding the neophytes to brotherhood, were both honored at the banquet.

"The best thing about rechartering is that no one believed it could be done," said Anthony Wise, one of the three remaining original brothers."We couldn't have done it without the support of our national office, Zeta Mu-Northridge California State University at Northridge our alumni and the Wofford College com(CSUN), one of the largest of the California munity."

Zeta Nu Chapter at chartering A house was leased for the fraternity by four members of the colony. This house was no ordinary fraternity house at CSUN.It was soon to be known as the "Pi Kapp Estate."

Situated on nearly one and one-half acres of land, this California ranch style house has provided the location for many social events, including exchanges with two of the top sororities.

The chartering weekend began when West Coast Coordinator Keith Rundle and Green arrived on Thursday, Jan. 19. The 55 associate members were given written examinations that evening. The next day a

four-hour oral examination was given by chartering officers Gunner Schalin and Bob Langbien.

After successful completion of these examinations, the dedicated men realized that they had finally accomplished their three immediate goals. The 55 associate members and two alumni candidates were now ready to be initiated as brothers of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Performing the ritual of initiation were Gamma Chapter-University ofCalifornia-Berkeley and Zeta Beta Chapter-Univer-

as that financing was lost. The chapter was now entering its second non-housed year, and spirits were low. New housing corporation leadership, Frank Lane, Leroy Langston, Walter Pickens and Marty Jones, took over and put the project back on track.

New financing was arranged, and construction finally began in January of 1988.

The architecture is of the mostdurable"dormitory"variety.The most notable of these features are the cinderblock interior walls and the steel superstructure of the house. This type of construction proceeds slowly, and delays are frequent. The house has eight bedrooms, with separate baths, that sleep three to four men each. The lower level has a large open meeting/dining area,a TV lounge,a formal "trophy room," kitchen, and rest rooms.

The red brick exterior and large columned porch give the house a classic Greek revival appearance. While this look is almost the norm at UGA,the Pi Kappa Phi house is most commanding in its setting, scale, height and detail.

The process of constructing a fraternity house is difficult, not always pleasant; but the end result makes it all worthwhile.

Lambda finally moves in!

Alpha wins award from society for house renovations The Preservation Society of Charleston (S.C.) awarded Alpha Chapter-College of Charleston the Carolopolis Condita A.D. Award for the restoration of an historic landmark - Alpha's chapter house.

The chapter began restoration of the house last May and moved into the house in August, while renovations were still being completed. Alpha's housing corporation, Low Country Alumni Association,purchased the house from the college and invested over $20,000 in the restoration.

The Carolopolis Award is given out each year. This year nine were given out.

Campaign for Omega seeks to pay for fire damage On June 17, 1987, the alumni members of Omega Chapter-Purdue University received the devastating news that their chapter house had been destroyed by fire two days earlier. While being grateful that none of the eight persons living in the house that summer were injured, memories of life at 330 N. Grant Street were in the minds of many,if not most, of the members.

The housing corporation, headed by Chapter Advisor Pat Kuhnle, began an immediate successful search for substitute housing and arrangements were made to protectfrom further damage what was left of the house. Negotiations with the insurance carriers were prolonged and an equitable settlement was reached only after an adjuster was hired to represent the house.

Months after the fire, the first attempt to involve the alumni members in the cost of reconstruction was undertaken. By letter it was suggested that if 400, or half of the identifiable alumni,would contribute $1,000 each, reconstruction of the house could be completed with a manageable mortgage.

The house could not be reconstructed as it was before the fire because it no longer met existing building codes, making the insurance settlement insufficient tocoverthe costs.

The need to add two exterior stairways to replace a center staircase and fire escape offered an opportunity to expand the capacity of the house by enclosing the areas between the stairs.

The total cost of the project was estimated at about$950,000 with approximately $3.5 million as the replacement cost; $200,000 already determined to be needed to meet the building code and make some renovations and approximately $400,000 for expansion. Insurance was to cover the replacement cost, while fund-raising and a new mortgage would cover the remainder.

Unfortunately, the alumni did not respond as anticipated. A successful campaign depends on generous support from a rela-

The Omega Chapter-Purdue University house after renovations tively small number of dedicated members.

In fund-raising "average gift" campaigns generally are unsuccessful.

With construction nearing completion, it was decided in August 1988 - a year after the fire - to undertake a more organized capital campaign. David Lane,a 1968 initiate and former archon,accepted the position of national campaign director and appointed Herbert Meyer,a 1925 initiate and long-time advisor to the chapter, and Paul Swafford, '25 as honorary cochairmen. The latter two were recognizable leaders because of their devotion to the Fraternity over the years,and Lane had served both the local chapter and the National Fraternity.

The campaign was planned as a personal, peer-group solicitation effort. Decade chairmen or cochairmen were recruited and each was responsible for the selection of initiation class chairmen.Prior to the kickoff

in October,several major gift prospects were solicited and two cultivation mailings were sent to all members.

Brothers were to be given the option of a single gift, but were to be encouraged to consider a more significant three-year pledge.

Opportunities were available to name individual rooms,and gift clubs were organized.

Making the fund-raising more difficult was the fact that many alumni had not updated their addresses with the Administrative Office or Purdue University in years.

Another difficulty was that the official kickoffofthe Campaign occurred 15 months after the fire, rather than immediately thereafter.By that time the shock had worn offand the need to give appeared less pressing since the house was now back in operation.

A third complication resulted from the fact that several individuals capable of providing major gift support felt they had done

their part when they responded with $1,000 gifts to the earlier solicitation.

Now,just six months after the kickoff event, nearly $300,000 has been pledged from less that 40 percent of the alumni. It is anticipated that the goal will be reached prior to Homecoming '89. A special event is planned for that day so that those who made the renovation possible can return to 330 N. Grant and enjoy once again the fellowship that is an Omega tradition.

The dollars that have been pledged have conformed with traditional fund-raising standards. Thus the top 15 gifts account for a third of the dollars pledged and the next 84, the second third. The largest single gift to date was considerably less than might have been expected based on similarcampaigns at other fraternities at Purdue. However, the goal can be reached if others who are still uncommitted will support the campaign.

Bringing PUSH back around to the chapter level is paying off well for the organization.This year,the one-millionth dollar Pi Kappa Phi has donated to PUSH will roll in with another record fund-raising year.

More chapters than ever are forming volunteer relationships with local mental retardation facilities.

PUSH America, a project which perhaps best signifies the dual benefit ofPUSH to the handicapped and the Fraternity, will have another blockbuster year with its trip this summer.

Supreme Chapter will consider changes to Supreme Law Continued from page 1 •Once-a-year elections for all chapters. Supreme Law currently allowsfor chapter officer elections to be held "once or twice a year."

•Elimination of little sister groups.

The intent of this proposal is to protect the single-sex status of the Fraternity.

•Allowance for exceptions to be made to Supreme Law.This would allow chapters to petition the National Council for exemption from any Supreme Law due to"unusual and extenuating circumstances."

•Increased flexibility ofthe role ofthe immediate Past National President. Under the proposal, this person would serve in any capacity seen fit by the National Council; currently he is required to serve as the chairman of the nominating committee.

•Elimination of the word "pledge" or "pledgeship" from Supreme Law. Supreme Law currently uses the phrases "associate member(s)/pledge(s)" and "pledgeship/associate membership."

Another topic to be considered at the 42nd Supreme Chapter is the status ofthe infrastructure loan fund adopted at the 41st Supreme Chapter. The program is designed to provide loans to chapters,alumni associations and housing corporations for housing acquisition, renovation, funiture and ritual equipment.

forum Duke student saddened by brother's death;'moved' by Reep story I was greatly moved by your article commemorating the loss of Dean Reep of Delta Lambda Chapter-University of North Carolina-Charlotte.

Just recently, Mu Associate ChapterDuke Ur' ersity suffered a similar loss as our warden. Lars Lyon, passed away on Oct. 18,1988,from complications associated with a bone marrow transplant. Brother Lyon had been suffering from prostrate cancer for approximately 15 months.

Lars was my first contact with Pi Kappa Phi,and it was he that eventually drew me to pledge Mu Chapter. Under increasingly hostile university administration (Duke University withdrew recognition ofMu Chap-

ter several years ago), he worked hard and com- Letters pletely devoted his time and life to strive for the growth of our Pi Kappa Phi. Only the sudden onset of cancer forced him to leave the university and the chapter. But his efforts finally came to fruition this year.

Although he left Mu Chapter at a low point,his spirit carried on in our hearts and he witnessed the beginnings of our new burgeoning life which eventually enabled us to nearly triple our size this year.

Mu Chapter hopes that by sharing our story about Brother Lyon, Pi Kapps every-

where will realize that the strength of our brotherhood cannot be severed by death.

Indeed, our pledge to help brothers in need

persists even through death and into the Chapter Eternal.

Stephen Hsieh

Alcohol and narcotics equally harmful I have observed for more than threefourths ofa century the effects ofalcohol and other narcotics.There is very little difference in the effect of both of these. I wrote the Surgeon General over 20 years ago and urged him to have a label placced on alcoholic beverages,similar to the one placed on cigarPtes, that alcohol is harmful to your health. i never received the courtesy of a reply from

him.

Alcohol, in my opinion, is mainly responsible for the slaughter on the highways.

Our youth and others are entitled to know the truth, and if the publication of this letter saves at least 1 percent of the people from the addiction, I will consider it worthwhile.

Charterings held for 4 colonies Continued from page 1 sity of California-San Diego.

That Saturday the chartering banquet was held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, a famous southern California area landmark.

In attendance were Area X Governor Steve Ryder,Chapter Advisor Dana Taylor,Housing Corporation President Bob Pastirjak, advisory committee members Ken Pollock and Bryan Edwards, several campus Greek advisors, faculty members, and the Interfraternity Council president and Panhellenic president.

ADOPT A HIGHWAY LITTER CONTROL NEXT 2 MILES PI KAPPA PHI FRATERNITY DELTA OMEGA CHAPTER

Road sign for Texas A&M chapter with the state's anti-litter slogan

Adopt-a-Highway projects enhance chapters' images Continued from page 1 Gamma Beta-Old Dominion University arejust two ofa handful ofchapters which have found that "adopting" a highway is a simple, visible way of showing the community that fraternities do more than just party.

Both chapters have signed two-year contracts with their states' DOT's, obligating them to four cleanups per year. In return, the state posts roadside markers listing Pi Kappa Phi's and the universities' names.

Darrell Janezic, archon of Gamma Beta, said he got the idea from the Virginia public works magazine. He then contacted the DOT, which gave him all the paperwork he needed to get the ball rolling.

On the first Saturday afternoon they did the project, chapter members were met by a state engineer, who issued them orange construction vests to make them more visible to oncoming traffic. In two and a half hours they had collected about 100 bags of trash - containing everything from a dog carcass to empty McDonalds containers to a box of used condoms.

Participation that afternoon was high - about 50 of 65 brothers showed up partly because "we like to do community service projects" and partly because anyone who missed the cleanup without a valid excuse could not attend the next week's party, Janezic said.

"I didn't really want to do it at first, said Gamma Beta member Mike Minrichs."It didn't sound like a lot offun. But when you get down to it, it's a chance for us all' to get together and do something worthwhile. Society sees fraternities as

being kind of bad. We still have the 'Animal House' image, which is really outdated. This is what we're really all about."

For Gamma Beta the project has been a huge public relations success both the local and campus papers have featured them in articles - partly because they are the only group in Norfolk or Virginia Beach to adopt a highway.

While Delta Omega's project has not received as much campus attention the chapter is only one of about 10 fraternities to adopt a highway - it's been a big community-p.r. booster.

"It's a big boost for community relations," said Alan Brevard, the chapter's committee chairman for the project. The chapter is listed with the other participating groups in a community flyer.

Brevard went through the maintenance division of the DOT to set things up."They furnish the bags and vests, so it's not costing us anything. We go out on a Saturday afternoon and in two hours we're done." Members are not required to attend, but"we go play baseball afterwards,so we have a good time doing it," he said.

In addition to improving the looks of the highways, these chapters' efforts eventually will help save part of the millions tax-payers shell out to clean up others' messes.

Both chapters are involved in other community projects as well,such as Delta Omega's participation in a community sponsored "Big Event," in which they painted houses and did yard work in a seniorcitizens district,and Gamma Beta's work with the handicapped, building ramps for wheelchairs.

Zeta Nu-West Chester On Jan. 28 the West Chester University colony became the Zeta Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. The date marked the end ofthe chapter's 14-month journey which began Nov. 4, 1987 - Zeta Nu's founding date.

The charter was accepted by Archon John Twohig in the Devon Room at the West Chester Inn at the chartering banquet. Jeff Cohick, chartering officer, presented him with the charter. Area I Councilor and West Chester Greek Advisor Pat Farley gave the key-note speech and served as assistant chartering officer. Other officials in attendance were the Administrative Office's Jon Scott and Scott Smith;Chapter Advisor Maj. Richard Moultrie, and West Chester's drug and alcohol counselor Jackie Hodes.

The chartering process began Thursday

evening, Jan. 26, when the associates were administered their written tests. Friday afternoon the associates took their oral boards, after which the members were informed that they would become the 37 founding fathers of Zeta Nu Chapter.

That evening initiation was held in the Newman Center where ritual teams from Epsilon Tau Chapter-St. Joseph's University and Zeta Delta Chapter-Shippensburg University were preparing for the founding fathers.Two alumni initiates and 37 brothers were initiated.

Saturday night the chartering banquet was held. From the opening welcome by Smith to the closing benediction,there was a feeling of relief mixed with a hint of nostalgia. The emotional highlight was Twohig's playing ofthe Hollies song,"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother."

The closing benediction was the end of the beginning, and each brother could feel the excitement. The evening concluded with a celebration at the Zeta Nu chapter house near campus.

Pi Kappa Phi became the eighth fraternity on West Chester's campus. The university, located in West Chester, Pa., has been recognized by the National Register of Historic Places.

The idea of colonizing at West Chester began when Twohig visited his brother at Shippensburg. His brother, Bill,is a member of Zeta Delta. Bill and their father, who is also a Pi Kapp, attended the chartering.
