DARE TO PREPARE FOR
THE
FUTURE Roanoke College hosts its final Pi Kapp College Pi Kapps41Roanoke College adieu after it held its last Pi Kapp College after 23 years. The college has hosted the event 13 times. But, before students and alumni departed,they were challenged to dare to prepare for the future. Nearly 400 students made their pilgrimage east to Salem, Va., on August 1, 1990, to learn the latest developments in the fraternity world, to honor those students who excelled and to share new ideas. The first evening kicked off with the opening celebration featuring the arrival of the PUSH America '90 Team. They made a quick stop en route to their final destination in Washington,D.C.three days later. The auditorium filled with brotherhood as the team received an electrifying standing ovation. The evening concluded with Will Keim's entertaining address on leadership in the 21st century. The topic of rush highlighted August 2 as well as sessions on risk management and alcohol awareness. Will Keim amused the audience again with his infamous speech on "Demythologizing Animal House." The
evening concluded with University of South Carolina's "RisQue Business" educating students on social issues facing today's college student and Hypnotist Dan Lepore sending students into deep thought with a comic twist. August 3 welcomed discussion on-member education, leadership breakout sessions and Dr. Perry Buffington. "Dr. Buff'explained the psychology of leadership. Students also had the opportunity to meet with their respective Area Governors and Leadership Consultant. The evening came to an end with the Pi Kapp Talent and Skit Night. Students began August 4 with various team building games which culminated in an earth ball rugby tournament (the "South" topped the "North" 1-0). National President
Stephen DePalma and National Vice President Phil Summers gave the annual State of Pi Kappa Phi Address stressing scholarship and involvement within the Fraternity. Pi Kapp College ended with the initiation of Comedian Todd Yohn on August 5 and the National Council's presentation of the major awards(see page 6). Actor and alumnus Maury Covington gave a dramatic portrayal of L. Harry Mixson looking on the Fraternity in the past, present and future to bring the ceremonies to a close. Pi Kapps can look forward to another exciting Pi Kapp College next year in Charleston in preparation for the 43rd Supreme Chapter in Florida in 1992.
A "funny" thing happened on the way to initiation Voted "Best Young Comedian" last year, Todd Yohn traveled to Pi Kapp College for the first time. He left as a new brother of Pi Kappa Phi. Performing for Epsilon Iota-UNC-Greensboro's annual party for eight years now,Yohn was invited by the chapter to become an alumnus initiate. He was to be initiated in December of 1989, but scheduling conflicts pushed the event to Pi Kapp College. On August 5, Yohn was the model initiate during the model ritual. Nearly 250 Pi Kapps watched the ceremony. "I had been associated with Pi Kapps for so long," Yohn said."It was something that needed to be done." Yohn performed the night before for 90 minutes leaving the brothers in cramps from laughter. Yohn said his performance for Pi Kapp College was like "icing on the cake" for him. "It was the thrill of a lifetime," he added. "I felt like 1 was 17 again. I will take this with me for the rest of my life." Yohn resides in Rural Hall, N.C., with his wife who is expecting a baby around New Year's Eve.
