Who is the Fraternity Man of the Future? In the year 2008, today's first-graders will be entering their freshmen year in college. Their college experience,however, will be greatly different than that of today's college students and those of the past. By the year 2008,issues such as multicultural programming, the demographics of the college student and the financial environment will have an impact on who will be attending institutions of higher education. The survival of the Greek system will depend on its ability to adapt to these changes. "We are entering an era where the traditional, white student will no longer dominate our universities and colleges," Vic Boschini, Dean of Students at Indiana University, said. Boschini has been studying birth rates and deomographics for years. So,what does the fraternity man of the future have forward to? look to Multicultural environments will become a norm in our society. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts by the year 2020, whites will be a minority in the United States. If trends continue within the American society at its current pace, by the year 2008, one of every three Americans will be non-white. Among the birth rates, Hispanics will have the biggest growth rate. Mormons, Asians and Native Americans will also lead this birth rate charge. The U.S. Census Bureau predicts 47 million Hispanics will constitute part of the projected 90

Charter Nu Phi member captures highest award Frank Hawthorne's Pi Kapp career reads like a good novel you just don't want to put down. But, by the time you finish this great book, you read in the closing chapters he is the recipient of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity's highest award Mr. Pi Kappa Phi for 1990. On September 16, 1990, Foundation Executive Vice President Ted Scharfenstein presented Frank Howard Hawthorne with the Fraternity's most prestigious award in Montgomery, Alabama. The day also marked Hawthorne's 67th birthday. "I am just so honored to receive this great award," Hawthorne said. "It really did come as a surprise to me." Hawthorne discovered Pi Kappa Phi when he attended Auburn University (then Alabama Polytechnic Institute) in 1941. He was initiated on January 23, 1943 into Alpha Iota Chapter #262. After serving as secretary, Hawthorne left school to attend Vanderbilt University, but quickly returned to Auburn after a year. He served as archon and graduated in 1946 with a bachelor's of science degree. Hawthorne continued his education at the University of Alabama and found a home with the Omicron Chapter. He was an active brother with Omicron and completed his law degree in 1949. His service to the National Council includes National Historian from 1954-56, National Chancellor from 1956-62,

and National Treasurer from 1962-64. Hawthorne became the first president of Pi Kappa Phi Properties 1966-70. He also served as chartering officer for several chapters over the years. However,the most amazing accomplishment by Hawthorne is his love for Supreme Chapters. Since the 2Ist Supreme Chapter in 1946 in Birmingham, Alabama, Hawthorne has attended every Supreme Chapter since except for the 35th convention in San Francisco in 1977 and the 38th gathering in Valley Forge in 1981. He also holds the distinct honor of being a charter member of the Nu Phi Society for brothers who have attended more than five Supreme Chapters. Hawthorne's law career reads just like his Fraternity career. After serving as an instructor at Auburn and Alabama,Hawthorne landed a partnership in the law firm Balch & Bingham in Birmingham and Montgomery. He is a member of the American Bar Association, Alabama State Bar Association and the American Judicature Society. Last year, Hawthorne wrote his first book titled Kissin' Kin & Lost Cousins. His undying love for community service includes President, Vice President and member of Board of Di-
