at his alma mater of the College of Charleston. In his youth, Edwards worked as a soda jerk in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., and for more than five decades, he has continued to "serve the people." During World War II, he served with the U.S. Maritime Service, becoming a licensed merchant marine at age 19. Edwards was the first Republican governor of South Carolina after Reconstruction, resigning his office as a member of the state Senate in 1975 to take the position. He chaired the subcommittee on nuclear energy in 1978, and served as Secretary of Energy from 1981-82. Initiated in 1949, the 68-year-old Edwards graduated with his bachelor's Former Carolina degree in 1950. He continued his education at the University governor receives of Louisville School of Den-

This outstanding brother has served Pi Kappa Phi in many capacities, most recently as a Foundation trustee and chairman. He was inducted into the Pi Kappa Phi Hall of Fame in 1981. Edwards' Fraternity brothers describe him as professional and positive. "Not only has he succeeded as a professional, he has embraced the true essence of what it means to be a Pi Kappa Phi," said David Simas, Old Dominion (Gamma Beta), who worked with Edwards as an intern. "Despite his considerable political and organizational power, he is a sincere and thoughtful individual. He is generous in his praise of associates and takes every opportunity to help his fellow man," Simas said.

Edwards and his wife of 44 years, Ann, live in Charleston, where he serves as president of the Medical University of South Carolina. They have two grown children. Among Edwards' many honors are the James B. Edwards Elementary School in Mt. Pleasant, dedicated in 1981; the Founders Medal of the College of Charleston, awarded in 1985; the Tree ofLife Award in 1990; the Good Citizenship Silver Medal in 1991; and the American Dental Association's Distinguished Service Award in 1994. Edwards received the Mr. Pi Kappa Phi award in the Sottile Theater to a standing ovation of Pi Kapps of all ages. He was presented with a framed document of the official resolution from the National CounciL which concluded, "Now therefore be it resolved that Brother James Burrows Edwards be extended the Fraternity's deepest appreciation for his proven caring and devotion to Pi Kappa Phi."
Owen Award was given to King, a familiar face at Pi Kapp College and at many other national Greek conventions. King plays an active role in the Greek community at Bradley University, where he serves as the advisor for the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils. He is also the executive director of housing, residential life and the student judicial system at Bradley. Within the national fraternity of Sigma Chi, he holds the position of Grand Tribune and previously has served on the executive committee and as a Province officer. As chairman of the Commission on Values and Ethics for the National Interfraternity Conference, King has given presentations to more than 30 national organizations. His essay, "Secrets Thoughts of a Rhual," has been published in the Fraternity Newsletter, the White Diamond of Pi Kappa Phi
and many other fraternity and sorority publications. Following the awards ceremony at Pi Kapp College, King presented a seminar on fraternity ritual. His presentation, which focuses on the nature of ritual and how it can be used in an informal and personal way, prepared the Pi Kapps in attendance for the model ritual of initiation that followed. "Ed King's personal analogies relating to ritual and its intended meaning are entertaining and educational," said Owen, who retired last year after 35 years of service as Pi Kappa Phi's chief executive. "He is a tremendous asset and an example for the entire Greek community." FALL 199 5 5

M.Summers Student of the Year is his proudest accomplishment. The recent Cornell University graduate is a John F. Kennedy Memorial Award recipient, a speaker for the AmeriCorps Human Needs Forum, an Excellence Award recipient for the New York Governor's Office for Voluntary Service, a Robinson-Appel Humanitarian Award recipient, and a Public Service Summer Fellowship recipient of the Echoing Green Foundation.
As a Points of Light Ambassador for the state of Maryland, Genser helped lieutenant governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend develop the nation's first statewide community service requirement for high school graduation. In this position, he had the opportunity to speak to more than 15,000 students in 18 of Maryland's 24 school districts. Townsend describes him as "energetic, imaginative and intelligent." Despite his service obligations, Genser regularly made the Dean's List. Majoring in human service studies, Genser dealt with social issues on a daily basis to gain the experience he feels is necessary to better understand their implications. He has provided home care to the terminally ill, initiated a program to match students with developmentally disabled adults, and taught classes addressing homelessness. "Bringing those experiences into an academic context has enriched my learning and has sensitized me to the complexity of many difficult issues facing our world," Genser said. Genser served Pi Kappa Phi's Alpha Kappa chapter as president of his 16-member pledge class, and he founded a PUSH America project which sent members of the chapter to the Just

continued from page 15 relations. These standards go beyond the Minimum Chapter Standards as defined by Supreme Law. Participation by chapters is voluntary: To be considered, at least 90% of the chapter must vote to become a Journey Chapter. And the individuals within that chapter also must qualify by meeting and adhering to higher standards. Journey Chapters will receive enhanced benefits and programming through a three step program for chapter members. The Journey is a planned, four-year program to lead and develop students in three critical areas: collegiate success and service, leadership and personal development, and career and life planning. Collegiate Success and Service
The first step on The Journey focuses on scholarship and service. Using a model called the "Collegiate Success Program," designed by Dr. Richard Voorneveld, Charleston (Alpha), each Journey Chapter entering class will participate in a planned curriculum imple-
the perfect time to start. Through hands-on projects, Journey Chapter members will learn the value of service beyond self through required participation in PUSH America events. Pi Kappa Phi is unique among Greek letter organizations for having created its own national outreach project. PUSH America provides service and education to promote a greater understanding of people with disabilities. Since its creation in 1977, PUSH America has raised more than $3 million and has enabled thousands of Pi Kapps to participate in service projects. Leadership and Personal Development
For years Pi Kappa Phi has been an innovator in leadership training with such institutions as Pi Kapp College and regional Mid-Year Leadership Conferences. Now Journey Chapter members will have the opportunity to attend a new leadership initiative offered by no other fraternity--the Sophomore Leadership Institute. Working with the renowned Covey Insti-
mented by a faculty advisor to help maximize academic performance. "This is much more than a 'how to study'
tute for Leadership, qualifying Journey Chapter members will attend a Covey seminar on leadership and personal development--based
course," explains National Scholarship Committee chairman Steve Sanders, Indiana (Alpha Psi), "It includes time management concepts and emphasizes the scheme of balance--mental,

it's a chance to learn principles of motivation and leadership from the best known, most respected source in the nation," said Jerry
Brewer, national president. "Personal leadership is about putting individual principles in line with personal actions. As a result, the leaders of Pi Kappa Phi today will be the leaders of America and our communities tomorrow." Career and Life Planning

Join Us on The Journey
Journey Chapter members who have completed the Collegiate Success Curriculum and attended both the Sophomore Leadership and Career Development institutes will be designated as "Journeymen." Journeymen will be recognized with a badge, and the chapter having the most Journeymen joining alumni ranks each year will be awarded special recognition at Pi Kapp College or Supreme Chapter. Participating alumni also will be recognized. The Journey represents the future of
of brotherhood. As our students and alumni begin this lifelong
journey of brotherhood, Pi Kappa Phi will foster the development of scholarship, service, and values, as well as leadership and personal development, while providing a network of opportunity for career and life planning. Pi Kappa Phi will kindle alumni involvement

1994-95 was a challenging year for Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, and for me personally, as I began a new career as chief executive officer of your national Fraternity. Assuming the position that Durward Owen had served since 19 59 was no easy task particularly given the current environment surrounding today's educational institutions. Fortunately, Durward left the cupboard well-stocked so that we could build on his past successes.

ternities (with 39 groups reporting) to achieve an increase in associate members in 1994-95, compared to 1993-94. Our chapters pledged 8% more men than the year before. And Pi Kappa Phi was one of 15 national fraternities (with 48 groups reporting) which achieved an increase in members initiated in 1994-95, compared to the previous academic year. Your Fraternity's 127 chapters increased that number by 3%, ineluding alumni initiates. MMES This national recruitment recession is due in part to a new campus atmosphere where "po litical correctness" is the watchword and where Greek life is becoming increasingly under attack. Universities and colleges nationwide are placing greater restrictions on fraternities and sororities. They are limiting when and how we can recruit, imposing shorter pledge peri-

During 1994-95 it conducted a comprehensive review of the greater Fraternity's development efforts and recommended sweeping changes in the staffing and organizational structure. Implementing their suggestions in 1995-96 will take our development efforts to the next level and provide a synergistic fit among the National Headquarters, PUSH America, the Foundation and Pi Kappa Phi Properties. Another staffing issue is our leadership consultant program, which provides face-to-face training at the chapter level. Due to budgetary constraints, the national staff was down by one consultant last year. However, to increase the support provided to the five consultants, each was provided with a lap-top computer and printer. This year we will restore the program to six fulltime traveling consultants, creating a ratio of one consultant for every 21.2 chapters. The program content and structure also have been retooled to better serve our chapters. Our objectives for 1995-96 are simple: .... Build better Fraternity men through The Journey, .... Help our chapters become the best on their respective campuses, .... Expand Pi Kappa Phi to quality institutions across the nation, and .... Uphold our high standards of membership based on our founding principles of scholarship and values. Working together, our students, alumni and National Headquarters can accomplish these objectives in the coming year. Fraternally,

As the national president's badge was placed over my heart at the 44th Supreme Chapter, I knew that the Fraternity was about to undergo many exciting changes. The most visible change was that the National Council was employing a new chief executive officer for the first time in 35 years. The 44th Supreme Chapter also mandated many changes, including an invigorated emphasis on alumni relations, and the passage of the Vision Statement

(page 17). This statement defines what kind of organization Pi Kappa Phi seeks to become by 2004, the lOOth anniversary of our founding. The Vision Statement calls for Pi Kappa Phi to become "America's leading Fraternity-- augmenting the education of America's finest men at campuses across the nation, through its uncompromising passion to maintain the lofty standards which teach all members the true meaning of brotherhood." The National Council implements the Supreme Chapter's directives through the professional staff at the National Headquarters in Charlotte, N.C. In turn, the staff coordinates the efforts of alumni volunteers across the nation. During this past year, Pi Kappa Phi has begun a Journey to make this vision a reality. The Journey clearly defines a vision of the ideal chapter of Pi Kappa Phi by concentrating on the betterment of each brother. For decades our Student Creed has affirmed our belief in the concept of an ideal chapter. For too long, however, this has
