OF PI KAPPA PHI

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-

Fall 1990 -the star & lamp- Page 3

VallIEVISSUES Fraternity man copes with the future Probably the greatest issue the future college student will confront will be the financial environment around him. Tuition costs will continue to steadily climb. In 1990, the average annual cost for a four-year, private institution is $8,700. The average cost for a four-year, public institution is $1,700. Two-thirds ofall college students in a private school this year will receive some type offinancial aid while about 47% of those in a public institution will receive financial aid. Today,about 54% of all students work while enrolled. Only about half of all college students who enter school now will actually graduate. More students are also entering community colleges. By the year 2010, one in every five college graduates will take his first job which doesn't require a degree. He will find most of these jobs in the service sector of society. The top five employers that will be hiring our future fraternity men will be computer-related industries, engineering firms,fast food industries,employment and personnel industries, and tax preparation specialists. Analysts predict that future Greek systems will steadily return to the principles on which they were created. Fraternity men will become more career-oriented and academically conscious. Many college students recognize with the Berlin Wall down and the influx of

Message to schools: fight drugs or pay 2. A description of applicable legal sanctions under local, State or Federal law. 3. A description of health risks associated with the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol. 4. A description of available drug or alcohol counseling,treatment or rehabilitation or re-entry programs. 5. A clear statement that the higher education institution will impose disciplinary sanctions on students and employees, consistent with local, State and Federal law, up to and including expulsion or termination of employment and referral for prosecution of the standards of conduct. The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 stemmed from a governmental perception that many colleges and universities failed to enforce applicable laws relating to drugs and alcohol. Stanford University recently said the enforcement of alcohol and drug laws is the job of "local authorities" and not the university. Many other higher education institutions agree with Stanford.

The word from the Department of Education to higher education institutions is if students break the law, you pay. The Department of Education made the decision of the.Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 which became effective October 1, 1990. The new regulations require higher education institutions to adopt and implement,"...a program to prevent the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees" If higher education institutions do not adopt new programs, they risk the chance of losing its Federal funding. This marks the first time colleges and universities have had to both obey and enforce limitations on alcohol and drugs. Higher education institutions will be required to distribute annually,in writing, to each student and employee: 1. Standards of conduct that clearly prohibit, at a minimum,the unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by students and employees on its property or as part of any of its activities.

The Administrative Office has just completed its date rape program in which currently 25 chapters are participating. These chapters will critique the program. During the Mid-Year Leadership Conferences in 1991,all student chapters will receive a copy of the program. The initial feedback to the program has been a very positive one. Director of Corn-

munications Matt Basta recently addressed about 350 Greeks at Memphis State University on the program and facilitated an open discussion with fraternities and sororities on date rape. If an undergraduate chapter would like to participate in evaluating the program, please write the Administrative Office in care of the Director of Communications.

alumnicentEr ( Chapters find a new place to call home Toledo grabs 30-man house For the first time in over a decade, Beta Iota-Toledo again has a place it can call home. In August of 1990, when the on-campus Greek Village Complexwas completed, Beta Iota moved into their new chapter house. The "House Grand Opening" was a great success! Attendees included 142 Pi Kapp alumni, pledges, undergraduate members and their parents, and friends. Dr. Ralph Mueller,faculty/scholarship advisor for the chapter, presented the house with a framed picture of the founders. "This[the picture] means a lot to the chapter and shows the bond between student members and our alumni," House Manager Brendon McCaskey said. The chapter and the housing corporation prepared and presented an application to the University for one of the fourteen Greek complex units. Last spring, the chapter was notified they received a unit with a second place finish overall and ranked number one on the interview portion.

Each of the fourteen units has a basement with three upper floors and houses 30 members each. The project was financed by a bond issue from the State of Ohio and will be repaid over the next 30 years by the room rents that the students pay each quarter. This four-story unit will house 30 Pi Kapps on the second and third floors. The first floor and basement will serve as common areas for members and alumni. Furnishings for the residents' rooms are provided by the University while the Housing Corporation will be responsible for the lower two levels. Many brothers have worked on getchapter into the project since the the ting beginning of last year and recognition goes to Mark Urrutia, Pat Meehan, Eric Ramlow,Doug King, and Fred Tiller of the Housing Corporation; to Brendon McCaskey and Brad Szczecinski of the student chapter and to Area IV Governor Mark Jabobs for dropping everything and flying to Toledo on a moment's notice to help out and lend his support.

"Strong Enough to Care"

ATTENTION:Young Alumni(and those who wish they were!) As you return to your campus and your Fraternity chapter, there are some changes which you may not be aware of. Please recognize those changes and conduct yourself accordingly when you visit. The student chapters have a rather strict risk management policy which they must adhere to, regardless of third party involvement. Several of these constitute a significant change, in some instances, from what you are accustomed to,especially in the area of social activities. The following are some of the most significant expectations of which you should be aware. Your Fraternity anticipates that you will honor these and appreciates your understanding and support: The possession, use and/or consumption of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES,while on chapter premises, during an official fraternity event, or in any situation sponsored or endorsed by the chapter, must be in compliance with any and all applicable laws of the state, province,county,city and university.

No alcoholic beverages may be purchased through the chapter treasury nor may the purchase ofsame for members or guests be undertaken or coordinated by any member in the name oforon behalfofthe chapter. The purchase and/or use of bulk quantity of such alcoholic beverage,i.e. kegs,is prohibited. No chapter members, collectively or individually, shall purchase for, serve to, or sell alcoholic beverages to any minor (i.e. those under legal "drinking age"). No chapter may co-sponsor an event with an alcohol distributor, charitable organization or tavern (tavern defined as an establishment generating more than half of annual gross sales from alcohol) where alcohol is given away,sold or otherwise provided to those present. No member shall permit, tolerate, encourage or participate in "drinking games." No alcohol shall be present at any pledge/associate member program or activity of the chapter.

What can you do as an alumnus of Pi Kappa Phi? Ode to the Alma Mater Sometimes the most important help an alumnus can give is the assistance he gives the insitution to which the chapter owes its existence. An Alumni IFC An alumnus can participate or support an alumni interfraternity council which can only strengthen his own chapter. Sharing your Knowledge An alumnus can share his knowledge and the skills of his profession which shows his loyalty to the chapter.

Bradley moves into 35-man home After years of supporting a chapter in a house which only three brothers could live in,Epsilon Mu-Bradley dreams of a bigger house came true as well. On September 8, 1990, the chapter conducted its housebreaking ceremonies. Last year,Bradley University began constructing more student housing on campus. The Epsilon Mu Housing Corporation negotiated with the University to allow the Fraternity to rent an entire unit. The University agreed. The new structure will now house 35 members which is quite a change from Epsilon Mu's old days of a small three-man house.

In attendance at the housebreaking ceremony were Pi Kappa Phi Executive Director Durward Owen,Chapter Advisor Dr. Doan Modianos,founding father and Beta Epsilon Chapter Advisor Jason McDowell,fellow Greek associates and past and present members. "I think a new spirit has been born as the brothers are now finally able to live together under one roof," McDowell said. Epsilon Mu was founded at Bradley on February 26, 1982. The chapter has overcome many obstacles and address changes to get where they presently reside.

Playing it Cool An alumnus can remain patient and understanding with his chapter knowing that they are "learning the ropes"just like he did once. Promote Programming An alumnus can make a financial contribution to the chapter to help fund better chapter programs or to meet the physical needs of the chapter. Time Well Spent An alumnus can give his personal service to the chapter which expresses another way to show loyalty. What's Going On? An alumnus tries to stay informed of chapter activites by contacting the chapter with his current address and activities. Encouragement by Attendance An alumnus attends alumni affairs sponsored by the undergraduates and other alumni and offer encouragement in planning more activities in the future. Continuing Tradition An alumnus can insure the chapter's existence continues by recommending desirable men as prospective members. Personal Interest An alumnus should express his personal interest in current activities of the chapter.

New Area Governor appointed Another Jacobs brother has joined the Area Governor family. The National Council appointed Billy Jacobs as the new Area VII Governor on August 13, 1990. He is the brother of Area IV Governor Mark Jacobs. Jacobs was an undergraduate member of Delta Psi Chapter at the of University ton. Texas-Arling He then became Chapter Advisor for Delta Psi before accepting the position as Area Governor. "I look forward to being a part ofthe growth of Pi Kappa Phi in the Southwest area," Jacobs said. "This opportunity allows me to give something back to the Fraternity I hold dear." Jacobs believes that fraternities can make a positive impact on men whojoin Pi Kappa Phi. "Fraternities enhance the education

process by allowing students to experience real life situations before they graduate," he said. Jacobs has been vice president and controller of Zale Insurance Group Arlington, in Texas, for the last five and a half years. His duties include finance and accounting. He is also a certified public accountant. He chief interests are business and sports which include golf, jogging and reading ity).

Legacies bring new twist A tale of three brothers Jim O'Donnell was initiated into the Zeta Delta Chapter at Shippensburg University in the spring of 1990. What's all the commotion over this particular initiation? The story begins in the spring of 1987 when Robert O'Donnell pledged and was initiated into the Zeta Delta Chapter. Five semesters later in the fall of I 989,.O'Donnell's younger brother John pledged and was initiated into the same chapter. And in the spring of 1990, their younger brother Jim was initiated. Jim's initiation put three O'Donnell brothers being active in the Fraternity in the same chapter at the same time! "John and Jim were not given bids simply because they are legacies!" Brother Tim Carnevale said. "Our chapter immediately recognized that these two men would be valuable assets to our chapter just as their older brother Robert was and is." Robert graduated this past spring Cum Laude this past spring and is attending graduate school at Drexel. Alpha UpsilonDrexel along with St. Joseph's initiated Shippensburg in 1986. John is now a junior while Jim is sophomore.

Hawthorne: Mr. Pi Kappa Phi Hawthorne also served our country in the Air Force during World War II as a navigator and during the Korean War in the Startegic Air Command. Born in 1923 in Hope Hull, Alabama, Hawthorne eventually married Esther Rae Wille from Shreveport, Louisiana. They have three children - Frank, Jr., Raymond and Mary. Hawthorne now completes another chapter in his great novel that is filled with every ideal and principle of what a true Pi Kapp should be. Only time will write the next chapter.

Washington undertakes a new approach to acquire an annex In an unusual effort to buy an annex for the Alpha Delta Chapter at the University of Washington, ten people participated in a private investor pilot program this fall. The goal of the program was to raise $55,000 to purchase an annex for the chapter. Because the chapter has beenjust rechartered and it's fairly new on the campus,some alumni knew it would be difficult to raise the funds necessary to make the purchase. Foundation Executive Vice President Ted Scharfenstein spearheaded the project and brought together five Alpha Delta alumni as well as five other people to help raise the revenues needed. Each participant contrib-

uted $2,500 to $10,000. The unsecured note will be paid off in five years at an interest rate of 12%. Money from the chapter will be deposited in an escrow account with quarterly payments being made to the investors to reduce interest and principle. Alpha Delta Alumni gave $20,000 of the $55,000 needed. "Timing is a real concern while trying to do a private placement like this one," Scharfenstein said. "In my opinion, private investors can play a significant role in financing chapter houses in the future for the Pi Kappa Phi Fraterntiy."

The father-son connection O.K., read this story very slowly. Paul Lavery is Archon at the Delta Alpha Chapter at Virginia Tech. His little brother is Jim Hess,Jr. What makes this situation so unique? Their fathers were pledge class brothers at Beta Alpha Chapter at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. John Lavery(BA #258)and his son Paul (DA #247) were both Archons at their respective chapters. Jim Hess, Sr., and his son Jim Hess, Jr.

r

â– Top to bottom: Bob, John and Jim both have the same initiation numbers (different chapters, of course). Jim, Sr. was BA #262 while Jim, Jr., was DA #262. The chapter did initiate Jim out-of-order so the father-son team could have the same initiation number. "This is just another example of the lifetime friends born in Pi Kappa Phi," Paul Lavery said.

"Strong Enough to Care"

An open fetter to the Ti Kappa Phi Fraternity Dear Brothers, As we approach the holiday season, I want to acknowledge the welcome offered to me during the past year. As you may know,I have been involved with Pi Kappa Phi, in one way or another, since my graduation from Florida Southern College in 1961. On December 1, 1989, I assumed the position of Executive Vice President of the Foundation, and thereby became reinvolved with the day-by-day acitivities of the Foundation and the Fraternity. 41104. Pi Kappa Phi, as well as the fraternity world, have dramatically changed since I finished my earlier tour of duty as Assistant Executive Secretary in 1965. Let me share some of my thoughts about Pi Kappa Phi with you. The fraternity world has always been complex and difficult to manage because of the geographic dispersion of the chapters and alumni. Turnover of membership every three or four years in each chapter is a reality that would test the mettle of any executive. Problems of declining enrollment, risk management issues, substance abuse, the cost of higher education, date rape, exposure to AIDS are challenges (threats)that students endure each day. Not only has the Fraternity coped with these dramatic issues, but it has taken them in stride and is prospering. The reason goes back to something I heard Founder Harry Mixson say at the second Pi Kapp College in 1961. Harry spoke eloquently of the character of men invited to join this great Fraternity. Taking all manner of adversity as a fact of life, the Founders took the challenges one by one and built this Fraternity of the thousands of Pi Kappa Phi Brothers. And had a lot offun in the process. Harry spoke of the never ending stream of qualified men who followed those in Old Charleston. And, so it is today. As we approach Founders Day 1990, my respect for the men of Pi Kappa Phi grows even brighter each day. High principles, sound ethics and a willingness to extend oneself on behalf of those less fortunate mark the Fraternity Brother of the Nineties. Old Harry would have been proud of what "his" Fraternity has become. It's been a geniune pleasure to work with the volunteer leaders,students,alumni and administrators of Pi Kappa Phi. All in all, it's been a fine year for Pi Kappa Phi,and I thank you once again for your continued interest and support.

New logo adopted The Trustees ofthe Foundation have adopted the design of the Memorial Gateway at the College of Charleston as its official logo. The logo represents the gateway to higher education. Generations ofcollege students have passed through this gateway on their way to class at this venerable institution of higher education. The Gateway symbolizes the rites of passage that members ofPi Kappa Phi experience in growing from his youth to adulthood. The Trustees of the Foundation be-

Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, T.A. Scharfenstien Executive Vice President

Fraternity gets $4 million gift Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity has announced the receipt of a four million dollar unrestricted bequest. The gift, believed to the largest single donation in the history of the American fraternity system, was made by Howard Kleinoeder of Seattle, Washington. Mr. Kleinoeder left a similar amount to the University ofWashington and the STARR Foundation of New York. In announcing the gift, John Chaney, President of Alpha Sigma Phi, writes: "This opens the door of opportunity for each and every one of us. No longer should alumni nor our own imagination be restricted by the

thought of a $1 million gifts of bequests. Fraternities and sororities have long been partners with higher education and it is our hope that college and university administrators,and the public in general, will recognize this is a sign of our worth, value, and legitimacy, and be more accepting of our organizations on their campus." We congratulate Alpha Sigma Phi on receiving the gift and on their plans to create a collection of programs in leadership,scholarship and character enhancement. Alpha Sigma Phi has 57 collegiate chapters with 35,000 alumni.

Chapters pave the road to academic excellence Sixteen chapters have a leg up on the 112 other chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. These chapters have individual scholarship funds within the Foundation. Chapter scholarship funds support specific educational programs and grant scholarships to deserving students. The amount in the funds range from a few hundred dollars to over $160,000 for Alpha Epsilon at the University of Florida. The funds are established by each chapter's alumni corporation and become operational when the balance reaches $10,000. An example of an educational program is the in-house computer facility placed at Alpha Epsilon a few years ago. It was so successful the chapter and alumni corpora-

tion have submitted a proposal to the Foundation to upgrade the equipment and facility. Scholarship funds may start with any contribution to the Foundation designated for a scholarship fund.

push Students complete third "Give-a-PUSH" Weekend On September 28-30, 1990,60Pi Kapps representing 18 universities and eight states volunteered their time and energy to build an adaptive playground for the children of the UPARC Center in Clearwater, Florida. "This weekend gave the collegiate chapters attending a true sense of'sweatequity' as they traveled long distances to work together to construct a playground that was built from hard work,sweat and brotherhood," Executive Director Ken Kaiser said. Pi Kappa Phi brothers and associate members traveled from as far as Orange, New Jersey, and Columbia, Missouri, to the UPARC (Upper Pinellas Association for Retarded Citizens) Center in Clearwater for what turned out to be a weekend of building, painting, landscaping and brotherhood. In addition to the adaptive playground that was built at the UPARC Center, three group homes were painted and landscaped. The weekend was highlighted by an appearance by Marion Mixson,son offounder L. Harry Mixson,at the unveiling of"PUSH Place." "I think that my father would be proud of what you have done this weekend and proud of the things that you are doing through PUSH," Mixson said. Pi Kappa Phi's National Chaplain Dr. Pat Figley and National Secretary Nathan Hightower also visited the construction site. Zeta Kappa-Stockton State (New Jersey) received the mileage award traveling the most distance. They also participated in their third consecutive "Give-a-PUSH" weekend. Only moments after the ribbon was cut, many of the UPARC children began to play and try out their new playground. For everyone involved in this Give-a-PUSH weekend, this was instant gratification for a weekend of hard work and brotherhood.

Pierce joins PUSH staff After a long baseball season with the Atlanta Braves as a marketing representative, John Pierce moved to Charlotte to become the new DirectorofChapter Services on September 27,1990. His first assignment was to help coordinate the third "Givea-PUSH" weekend the next day. Pierce's responsibili tes include coordinating chapter and PUSH America fundraising efforts and helping chapters • form volunteer relationships with local centers. "I think the toughest part of this job will be to convince chapter members that they can make a difference,"Pierce said. "Through

their efforts,they can truly help those with disabilities and can help other collegiates to become people understanding the serverely handicapped." Pierce hopes to top last year's fundraising campaign and see more chapters establish volunteer relationships. Pierce graduated from Florida State University where he was PUSH Chairman and Archon for Beta Eta Chapter. He says PUSH has changed dramatically over the years. "All we did back then was raise money," he said. "Now,the focus is on volunteerism and fundraising."

E Chapter adopts summer

camp for disabled children Do you remember going to summer camp when you were a child? For children with disabilities, there is a camp in Sumter,South Carolina, that offers a positive "summer camp" experience. While many chapters have established relationships with centers or schools that serve the disabled, Sigma Chapter at the University of South Carolina has adopted Camp Burnt Gin. On November 9, 1990, the men of Sigma Chapter visited the camp for the first time. As an introduction to their new campaign, an "empathy training" dinner was served. Chapter members were blindfolded and given limited use of their hands as they took on some type of disability. "It really made us think about some of the abilities we have, but often take for

granted," Archon Joel Borellis said. The brothers traveled back to Columbia that night and returned Sunday morning to Camp Burnt Gin. They worked all day clearing a wheelchairaccessible trail, painting the bath houses and general pick-up around the camp. "There are always many things that are needed at the camp, but many of the smaller projects often get pushed down the priority list," Marie Ireland, coordinator of Camp Burnt Gin, said. "If it were not for the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at the University of South Carolina, these projects would not get done!" Ireland added. Through their hard work,the Sigma Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi is helping this special camp meet the needs of handicapped children!

"Strong Enough to Care"

Washington welcomes back a new "old" chapter On April 7, 1990, Alpha Delta of University of Washington saw its rechartering efforts come to fruition. They chartered with 44 ambitious young men with the help of Leadership Consultant Joel Allen (Gamma Beta-Old Dominion) and Chapter Advisor Jeff Egilsrude(Omega-Purdue). They acquired a house in the heart of campus Greek Row in early September of last year. With their chapter growing at such an extensive rate, an annex was purchased in May. House membership now stands at 62 brothers strong. Just a little over a year since the Administrative Office approached the men for rechartering, Alpha Delta has already gained a strong reputation on the U of W campus. Their efforts last year included the winning of the Mr. Greek competition, taking fifth out of 33 fraternities in their Greek Week events, election of a member to the University's Board of Control and placing in the top three in several intramural sports. They are also gaining prominence by

trying to dispel many myths that are associated with general greek fraternities. Frank Parrish, Executive Vice President for Properties, and John Puckett, Area VIII Governor, served as the chartering officers. Assistant Executive Director Glenn Dickson and Senior Leadership Consultant Joel Allen also assisted with the chartering process. Gamma Chapter from University of California-Berkeley and Alpha Zeta Chapter from Oregon State served as the initiating teams. Alpha Delta was chartered in 1924 and folded in the early seventies due to the antiestablishment values that were expressed on campus at the time. The current men of Alpha Delta look forward to a prosperous and successful year. They hope to carry themselves with dignity as they carry on the traditions and ideals of Pi Kappa Phi on the University of Washington campus.

Fraternity returns to the state of Colorado In November of 1988, seven men contacted Pi Kappa Phi about forming a chapter at Colorado State University. Now, two years later to the day, with only one of those original seven men remaining, the chapter received its charter as Zeta Phi with 54 initiates. The building process was slow, but steady, with scholarship having presented an early formidable challenge. The men ofZeta Phi now rank third out of 18 chapters in grades! They also boast a strong intramural program having reached the playoffs in baseball, softball and soccer. This fall, they acquired a beautiful chapter house through the generous support of Bill Cochran, who became an alumnus member of the chapter at their chartering initiation. The renovated Victorian-style home sleeps 40 men and has a great location near

campus. The Zeta Phi men enjoy a reputation as "gentlemen." All their hard work paid off as National Chaplain Pat Figley, Chi-Stetson, and Area Governor VIII John Puckett, Iota-Georgia Tech,came to Ft. Collins to serve as chartering officers. Zeta Phi also enjoyed the outstanding talents of the Delta Chi Chapter from Kansas State and Alpha Omicron from Iowa State who served as initiating teams. Special guests in attendance at the chartering banquet included the Vice President of Student Affairs Keith Miser, Greek Life Coordinator Sonia Immache and Director of Greek Life Dave Burfind. Senior Leadership Consultant Alan Duesterhaus and Assistant Executive Director Glenn Dickson assisted from the Administrative Office. The chapter has been led by Chapter Advisor Chris Coley from Texas Tech.

Albright becomes the newest Pi Kapp Chapter It was in the Spring of 1989 that 11 freshmen at Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania, set out to join a fraternity. After contacting numerous national Greek organizations, the group found Pi Kappa Phi most attractive. During the first week of April of 1989, the Adminstrative Office sent Leadership Consultant Dean Div is to evaluate this young group of men. Now, nearly 17 months later, the 11 men eventually grew to 31 brothers and became Pi Kappa Phi's newest chapter - Zeta Chi Chapter. The initiation activities began on November 8, 1990, and culminated on November 10 with a chartering banquet which over 100 people attended including brothers, parents and college administrators. During the banquet, Archon Sean Moulton accepted the charter from Edward Hook, Chapter Advisor for Zeta EpsilonGeorge Mason, brother at Alpha UpsilonDrexel, and Assistant Chartering Officer. Area Governor I Jim Krucher gave the keynote speech. Krucher,Beta Alpha-NJIT, also served as the chartering officer for the weekend. Also in attendance at the banquet were Director of Greek Services Walter "Pete"

Glass,the chapter's Scholarship Advisor Dr. Katherine Greenfield and Chapter Advisor James Marasco,Zeta Delta-Shippensburg. Past Leadership Consultant Dean Divis even attended the banquet which concluded with Zeta Chi's Chaplain Carl Perino giving the benediction. The initiation week included taking the written national test, goal-setting sessions, oral tests, the initiation and the banquet. The chapter invited two alumnus initiates to join their brotherhood as well. Zeta Delta-Shippensburg traveled to Reading to initiate the new brothers. Director of Programs Elliot Curtis and Leadership Consultant Greg Brown represented the Administrative Office during the ceremonies. During their young chapterhood, Zeta Chi has already experienced great successes. In their first PUSH fundraiser last spring, they collected over $2,700. They are now the second largest fraternity on the Albright campus. In September of 1990, they gained voting rights within the IFC. During their road to chartering,the group took time out to go camping to Hawk Mountain for a chapter retreat. Albright continues to make a name for itself on the Albright campus by participat-

ing in intramurals and mixing with other Greek organizations. Albright also becomes the twelfth chap-

ter to find a home in the state of Pennsylvania and becomes Pi Kappa Phi's 129th active chapter.

Should Pi Kappa Phi return to Charleston? In the Summer 1990 issue of the Star & Lamp, we introduced a new section of the magazine. A question was posed in which we asked you the reader to write in your opinion. Last month's question was:

Does Ti Kappa Phi offer today's member a sense oftradition (i.e. ritual, history, alumni)? Because the Administrative Office is not located in Charleston, the city of ourfountling, does this affect our tradition?

I would like to offer my opinion for what it's worth on the question as to whether the Administrative Office ofPi Kappa Phi should be moved to Charleston,South Carolina,our Fraternity's original home. I am, of course, biased in my feelings, being a nephew of Founder Simon Fogarty and having lived for many years at 90 Broad Street in Charleston, where Pi Kappa Phi was founded, where Si grew up and where my parents were married. I. graduated from the College of Charleston where I was initiated into Alpha Chapter 27 October 1928. So, I would most dearly love to see the Fraternity purchase from its present owner the building,90 Broad Street, and make it into our national headquarters,bringing to Charleston the Administrative office and focusing the attention of all Pi Kapps on the real home of our great Fraternity. Having Charleston as the location ofour national headquarters would be a tribute to Founders Fogarty, Kroeg and Mixson and to the charter members of Pi Kappa Phi. I sincerely hope that I shall see in my lifetime the return of the central office to its original home.

I believe Pi Kappa Phi does offer its members a sense of tradition, both as a national organization,and through the heritage of individual chapters. As a pledge of 1977 my awareness of the history of the Fraternity was mainly learned through study of the pledge manual. I was so impressed that I made several trips to Charleston over the next several years. I believe that the national office should be relocated to Charleston as close to the College to Charleston as possible. This would give all of the visitors to the national office a better appreciation for the atmosphere and culture which gave birth to the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. If the national office were located in Charleston perhaps a museum of fraternity history could establish which would be open to the public. Hopefully such a museum would include historic memorabilia from various chapters. This museum could be opened to other fraternities to establish their own exhibits on either a rotational or permanent basis to promote awareness of the history and contributions of the entire fraternity system.

Fraternally,

The importance of ritual and history of Pi Kappa Phi is demonstrated by the brothers and not by the location of the Administrative Office. Charlotte has served the Fraternity well and should only become a stronger city entering the 90's. The city's success as a center for finance and transportation and success in sports, entertainment and the arts has been unprecidented (sic). With regard to alumni suppok, only one state (Florida) had more alumni donations in 1989. If the office to move in Charlotte, I would suggest a more prominent/visable location. Fraternally yours, David Higgins Delta Lambda 200 Mint Hill, N.C. Of course, the Fraternity offers a sense of tradition. A more important question is whether or not fraternity members choose to be a part of that tradition. As with so many things, a fraternity can only mean something to an individual if that person exercises the opportunity to be involved. The old saying,"You have to put something into it before you can get something out of it," applies to a fraternity. A common bond of brotherhood can only be formed if actions and events within a fraternity promote brotherhood. Those who have experience true brotherhood realize it has nothing to do with parties, rituals or odd rites of

Those may be a means to the end product. That end product is friendship. In the final analysis, it is friendship that forms the base for a sense of loyalty and tradition. It's a shame so few realize this. Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, James P. Peterson Alpha Iota 1095

Fraternities are designed to help a collegiate prepare to tackle a job upon completion of college. Fraternities are supposed to build leadership skills and communication skills. This issue's question asks:

Brother begins his Foundation career Please accept my donation to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation. I realize that the stronger the contribution, the more impactful it can be. As I become more established, it is my expectation to continue to increase my donation to the greatest fraternity in the world. Nothing will ever match the experiences that I had, and continue to have through my connection with Pi Kappa Phi. Each time I return to campus,be it for recruiting, homecoming or Founder's Day,I find that the Fraternity continues to strive to uphold the same morals and values as when I was an undergraduate. Further, my experiences as Warden and Archon have been very valuable to becoming a success in the business world. Thank you. Sincerely,

The Star & Lamp deeply regrets reporting in the Summer 1990 issue that Brother Maynard Pennell joined the Chapter Eternal. Brother Pennell is alive. Due to a miscommunication of information, The Star & Lamp sends our deepest apology to Brother Pennell and to all of his brothers. We thank Brother Willard B. Vadman of Alpha Delta Chapter for bringing this grave error to our attention.

Alumnus takes four years to write this letter As a Brother in Pi Kappa Phi at Gamma Gamma Chapter, Troy State University, and Graduate and now Alumni, I would like to share my views and feelings on what it has meant for me to be a part of Pi Kappa Phi from 1983-1986. When I was a pledge,my pledge Warden Gerard Holtzman told our Class that everything we were about to confront and participate in had a soul purpose. That we may not understand in the beginning, but would realize its importance when and if we became a Brother. Our pledgeship during the fall of 1983 was strenuous mentally and physically. Although all 32 men did not make it through,the ones that did were Pi Kapps that I was proud to call my pledge Brothers and Brother. Pi Kappa Phi and the Brothers during the time I was a student Pi Kapp taught me many wonderful experiences. But the most important to me was that we all cared for one another and when we played our Fraternity song,"He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother," we felt the unity and bonding between us. Thanks to Pi Kappa Phi, it's made a difference in my life. I hope that past, present and future Brothers of Pi Kappa Phi experience the Brotherhood that I have had and continue the Ideals and Principles in which Pi Kappa Phi represents. Yours in Pi Kappa Phi, Cary T. Wilson
