In 1926, he was a consensus All-American and helped the Navy squad finish the season undefeated. W.ckhc>rst was also a longtime assistant coach at Iowa and catifQ$ta and eventually went on to serve as the Golden Beata head c:oadt:in 1946. In 1970, he was elected to the National Football FQundation Hall of Fame. Another Pi Kapp who waaeasemialto his team's success was halfback Robert Lee Hamner of.t\labanut Hanmer was instrumental in helping the Crimson Tide roll to a national championship in the 1926 Rose Bowl. Georgia (Lambda) produced two All-Americans in 1927 on the way to a 9-1 record. Ivy "Chick" Shiver was team captain, a two-way end and punter who eventually bypassed pro football for major league baseball. He was elected to the State of Georgia

Sports Hall of Fame in 1966. AllSouthern guard Gene Smith was named to AP's All-American team and later played in the NFL with Frankford and Portsmouth during the 1930 season. Another Georgia player, tackle Vernon "Fats" Bryant, provided an exciting moment in the 1929 game against Georgia Tech. Late in the fourth quarter with the game tied 6-6, Bryant blocked a punt, picked up the ball and ran 50 yards on a muddy field to give the Bulldogs a 12-6 win. Clair Sloan of Nebraska was a multi-talented star of the late 1920s, excelling as quarterback, running back, punter and kicker. He was named AllBig Six in 1927 and '28, earned All-American mention both seasons and played in the East-West Shrine Game. He was later elected to the State of Nebraska Sports Hall of Fame in 1984. Teammate and chapter brother Merle Zuver was a 3 year standout at center before playing with the Green Bay Packers in 1930. Oklahoma tackle Granville Norris captained the 1927 squad, was named All-Big Six and All-American. The Fraternity's first big star of the 1930s was Georgia captain/end Herb Maffett, who was named All-Southern and All-American in 1930. He was later elected to the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. During the same period of time, Erk Taylor played guard and tackle for the Auburn (Alpha Iota) squad. He then went on to play professionally with the NFL Staten Island Stapeltons. Psi Chapter at Cornell produced the multitalented John Ferraro. Ferrard rarely left the field during a game, playing running back, punter, kicker and defensive back. He was Cornell's team captain in 1933. After graduation, he bypassed the NFL to join the CFL's Hamilton Tigers in 1934 as a player-coach.

He then went on to Montreal and starred from 1936 to 1940. Ferraro won All-Canadian honors every year he played. He is also an inductee of the Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame. In 1966, he was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. Fullback/Linebacker Paul Sulkosky was a three year star for Washington (Alpha Delta), earning AllAmerican mention, playing in the East-West Shrine Game and being named Most Inspirational Player in 1934. He was named to the all-time Washington team, selected in 1950. 1939 was a banner year for Pi Kappa Phi as quarterback Earl Crowder became the first Pi Kapp to be selected in the NFL draft. Crowder was Oklahoma's (Alpha Gamma) co-captain and All-Big Six in 1938 before playing with the Chicago Cardinals (1939) and Cleveland Rams (1940) . Also in 1939, Wally Butts (Alpha AlphaMercer) began what would turn out to be an extremely successful 22 year career as head coach of the Georgia Bulldogs. Over the course of this career, his teams would win 4 SEC titles and make 8 bowl game appearances. Counting bowl games, his career record was 140-86-9 . Butts was inducted into the State of Georgia Sports Hall of Fame in 1966. Some of the Fraternity's best players in the early 1940s came as the result of Wally Butts' recruitment and leadership. Quarterback Cliff Kimsey and tackle Greene Keltner were key players for Georgia's 1941 8-1-1 Orange Bowl champs. Kimsey, who had a 60-yard TO reception in the Orange Bowl, was an All-SEC third team selection and was drafted by the Chicago Cardinals. Center Frank Plant only lettered one year for Georgia (1945) but was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams. Three Pi Kapps at Alabama emerged as top players of the decade. Quarterback Hal Self scored 2 touchdowns in the Tide's 34-14 win over USC in the 1946 Rose Bowl. Self was later drafted by the NFL Brooklyn Dodgers. Guard Jack Green was on the All-SEC team in 1945 and was drafted by the Chicago Bears. Rounding out the Pi Kapp


tackle Dick Flowers, a three year starter and San Francisco 49er pick. Jim Still played quarterback, defensive back and punter for Georgia Tech (Iota) before spending the 1948-49 seasons with the AAFC's Buffalo Bills. Tackle Ken Dubard was Wofford (Zeta) cocaptain and Little All-American first teamer in 194 7. Hal Saunders was a three year starter at center for North Carolina State (Tau) in the late 1940s while halfback Ron Bergmeier was Tennessee's (Alpha Sigma) fastest player in 1947, '48 and '49. Fullback Jim McGowen, initiated at Alabama, transferred to Auburn and lettered three years. He captained the 1950 Tigers squad and was their top rusher. The 1950s proved to be a very productive decade for Pi Kappa Phi players. Purdue (Omega) end Darrel "Pete" Brewster was 1951 team MVP and played in the 1952 College All -Star Game before a nine year pro career with the Cleveland Browns (1952-58) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1959-60). Against the Giants on December 6, 1953, he had one of the top games in Browns history, catching 7 passes for 182 yards and 3 touchdowns. The following year, he caught 42 passes for 676 yards and 4 touchdowns. He then led Cleveland in receptions from 1955-57. Named to the Pro Bowl twice, Darrel had 210 career catches for 3, 758 yards and 21 touchdowns. He later was an NFL assistant coach with the Vikings (1961-63) and Chiefs (1964-73) . Defensive tackle Ed Husmann was tri-captain of the 1952 Nebraska Cornhuskers squad. Husmann moved on to a 12 year professional career with the Chicago Cardinals (1953, 1956-59), Dallas Cowboys (1960) , Houston Oilers (1961 -65 ) and Edmonton Eskimos (1966). He was named Ali-AFL in 1962 and played in three AFL All-Star games. Charlie LaPradd, tri-captain and defensive tackle for Florida, earned All-SEC honors in 1950, '51

and '52, and All-American honors in 1952. He was also the defensive hero of the 1953 Gator Bowl. LaPradd was drafted by the Green Bay Packers after graduation, but his career was cut short by injuries from an auto accident. Davidson's Jim Thacker twice scored 4 touchdowns in a game (Richmond, 1952 and West Virginia Tech, 19 54) and was a top runner for three years. Tampa (Beta Lambda) Pi Kapp Dick Harte burst onto the national scene as an All-American end in 1956. Additionally, chapter brothers Bill Post and Billy Turner were captains of the Tampa football squad. Offensive tackle Gene Selawski of • • • Purdue was named All-American, All-Big Ten and Academic All-Big Ten in 1958. He also played in the College All-Star Game, Senior Bowl and Blue-Gray Game before 3 pro seasons with the Rams, Browns and Chargers. Florida State's (Beta Eta) Al Ulmer was a 3 year starter at guard despite weighing only 176 pounds. A 1959 captain, he gained All-American mention as a junior and senior, was state Lineman of the Year in 1959 and was the school's first recipient of the Bob Crenshaw Award for "The Player with the Biggest Heart." East Texas State (Beta Chi) quarterback Sam McCord earned Little All-American first team selection in 1958-59 after gaining NAJA honorable mention in 1957. He was also team MVP/co-captain in 1959 and All-Lone Star Conference for three seasons. An outstanding runner, passer and punter, Sam rushed for 2,019 career yards (including 887 yards in 1959) and threw for 1,659 career yards. Bob Powell was a stellar guard for Northwestern (La.) State (Beta Omicron) from 1957 through 1960. Tackle Ken Rice of Auburn was the SEC's best offensive lineman and an All-American pick in 1959. As as senior in 1960, he was a consensus All-American, SEC best defensive lineman, team co-captain and a College All-Star Game selection. Chosen in the first

The job of an area governor would seem insurmountable to many Pi Kapps. Developing goals, and the plans to obtain those goals, for 13 undergraduate chapters of Pi Kappa Phi spread out over 3 states takes a special kind of care and motivation. An area governor must be ready at a moment's

notice to serve his fraternity. Ralph Foster, an alumnus initiate of Auburn (Alpha Iota), has surpassed all those expectations during his three years as Area VIII Governor. In addition to his duties as the Director of the Office of Outreach Information at Auburn University, Foster also serves as chapter advisor for the Alpha Iota Chapter at Auburn, and serves on the Alpha Iota Housing Corporation Board. He is also the president of the International Board of Directors for the Society for Advancement of Management. In 1993, he received the International Human Relations Award from the Society for the Advancement of Management. Foster has also published numerous books, papers, and periodicals. Somehow, amidst all this activity, he finds time to visit the chapters in his area personally, always encouraging them to use him as a resource. He also found time to set up one of the first Career Conclaves for the chapters in his area, further increasing communication between the chapters and alumni. Quite humbly, Foster said he was "surprised" to receive the award. "There are so many others that have done more over a longer period of time. It means a lot to me that the Fraternity chose to recognize me and I am very proud of the honor," he said. "The award, I feel, is a credit to the chapters in Area VIII. They all work extremely hard to excel in every aspect of the Fraternity." *

CHAPTER ADVISOR OF THE YEAR

''Buzz'' Holdorf To his list of personal awards - the Bronze Star, the Navy Commendation Medal, and the Navy Achievement Medal - Lieutenant Colonel William E. "Buzz" Holdorf (Florida State-Beta Eta) will now add 1996 Pi Kappa Phi Chapter Advisor of the Year. As chapter advisor for Zeta Beta at UC San Diego, Holdorf has been essential to the continual growth of the group during the past two years. Although serving as chapter advisor for only a short time, he has made a difference for Pi Kappa Phi on the chapter and alumni level, almost singlehandedly starting the San Diego alumni association of which he has served as president. The honor of Chapter Advisor of the Year is not new to Holdorf. He was recognized with the same honor by UC San Diego. Holdorfs lifetime commitment to Pi Kappa Phi began in 1974 when he rushed Beta Eta at Florida State. Initiated in 1975 then graduating from Florida State in 1978 with a Bachelors Degree in Business Management, he was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. He has obtained the military designations of naval aviator, logistics officer, and Inspector-Instructor. His training in amphibious warfare placed him in Operation Desert Storm with the amphibious landing force. "I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to work with the men of路Zeta Beta, and grateful for the many friendships I developed among the alumni of San Diego," Holdorf said. "My selection as Pi Kappa Phi's Chapter Advisor of the Year is a reflection of the determination and cooperation of the chapter and alumni." Holdorf is now leaving the San Diego area to fulfill his position as a Logistics Staff Officer, Policy and Requirements Division, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe in Mons, Belgium. * 20

Dear Dedicated Pi Kappa Phi Alumnus, Recently, I received an e-mail inquiry from a young alumnus who wanted "some information on different areas in which the Foundation accepts donations." As you might imagine, I very quickly responded to this question. In order for the Foundation to be successful. it is important that all Pi Kapps know the answer to this question, so I will take this opportunity to give you a brief description of the areas where alumni financial support is most needed. The most pressing needs are for unrestricted contributions and gifts to support implementation ofThe Journey. Unrestricted contributions include those received through the Annual Appeal and other gifts given without specific instructions for their use. Unrestricted funds support operation of the Foundation, alumni programming. educational programming. Pi Kapp College. Pi Kapp Scholars, and other programs. Implementation of The Journey is proceeding ahead of schedule. A major priority for the Foundation is to provide adequate funding for The Journey, allowing implementation of the program without causing a dangerous escalation of student dues and fees. Basically, funding of The Journey will be accomplished two ways. For established chapters with alumni, we will seek to establish Chapter Journey Funds, which will support The Journey in a specific chapter. For newer chapters who do not have access to alumni support, we have established a general Journey fund, which will provide initial support for their Journey programs. In addition to Chapter Journey Funds, many alumni want to make tax deductible contributions which will benefit their chapter. For that purpose. we have established the Chapter Investment Funds (CIF). These are endowment funds established for each chapter, funded by donations from the chapter, alumni and friends. When the balance in the CIF reaches $5,000, a percentage of the fund balance is available for distribution for qualified purposes to the chapter. Qualified purposes include scholarship grants and loans, chapter educational programs, and grants for other educational purposes. With the formation of the new development department. the Foundation also solicits and receives contributions on behalf of PUSH America, Pi Kappa Phi's own national philanthropy. PUSH America has long been a philanthropy priority for our undergraduate chapters, and is now a priority for alumni support as well. Donors to PUSH America will be recognized in the Foundation's Annual Report each year. Contributions for any of the areas described here, and for other areas not mentioned, may be made with gifts of cash or appreciated securities, or by credit card. For these gifts and for large gifts which require sophisticated gift planning. including wills and bequests, charitable trusts, etc., call me at (704) 523-6000, ext. 119 for more information. Your membership in Pi Kappa Phi is a lifelong commitment. These are some of the many ways in which you can demonstrate your commitment. Yours in Pi Kappa Phi,

Jeff Boggan (Zeta-Wofford) Director of Advancement

or nearly 15 years, Jeffrey E. Lewis (Duke - Mu) has been working behind the scenes and on the front lines to advance legal education at the University of Florida College of Law. Students, alumni faculty and other colleagues say he has done just that during eight years as dean and nearly seven as associate dean. Characterized as an insightful and supportive administrator, Lewis combined personal interaction and strategic planning to facilitate strides in national recognition,

international involvement, faculty and student diversity, student services, curricular breadth and quality, scholarly productivity, and private giving. June 30 marked the end of Lewis' administrative career at Florida, and a return to doing what he likes best. After a sabbatical that will include several months of teaching at

Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, one of Florida's exchange schools, he will return to fulltime teaching at Florida. Lewis has taught evidence every year except one since becoming dean. "As I walked in the classroom last fall, I was really excited about my decision to step down as dean," Lewis said. "I realized how much I enjoy being in the classroom and talking with students. It's a challenging, fun and very positive experience. " As he returns to the classroom, Lewis'

fingerprints are on changes and improvements throughout the law school. A statement by Dean Lewis early in his deanship provides an appropriate closing to this chapter of his career: "When you're in a position like this, it is through others and their successes that you can feel good because you know in some small way either by providing resources or encouragement - you played a role in the overall success of the institution.

"It was the best of times... it was the worst of times." --Charles Dickens n retrospect, the 1995-96 school year was one of the most exciting, while at the same time challenging years for the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. It started with the debut of the Journey project and expansion efforts to new campuses unparalleled since the 1920s. At the same time, several risk management incidents led to the closure of several chapters. The following is a summary of some of the major accomplishments or events which took place this past year.

percent, the actual number of initiates increased 6 percent as compared to the same time period for the previous year. As a result, our average pre-initiation class ranked fourth nationally and our average initiation class ranked third nationally. Our average chapter size ranks lOth nationally. Recruitment and retention maintain a top priority.

Journey Project

Expansion & Closures

Billed by Mark Hollis (Stetson - Chi), former CEO of Publix Supermarkets, as the "renaissance of the fraternal movement," the Journey Project was formally announced at Pi Kapp College 1995 . It offers broad Level One support for all chapters, and in addition,

Pi Kappa Phi continues to receive numerous invitations from quality institutions around the United States to expand to their campuses. This past year witnessed the recolonization of the University of Arizona (Beta Theta), the University of Mississippi (Alpha Lambda) and Stetson University (Chi) . In addition, the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, was recertified as an associate chapter after a brief hiatus. Six chapters were chartered, including Morehead State (Delta Eta), Coastal Carolina (Zeta Pi),

created the Journey Chapter for those chapters seeking enhanced benefits and willing to subscribe to increased standards. We are pleased that 34 chapters have accepted the challenge by voting to become Journey Chapters. Recruitment Success

Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity continues to weather the storm of declining fraternity membership for all fraternities. While this past year the number of pre-initiates declined 4

In conjunction with the debut of the Journey Project, increased chapter services were provided as part of the Level One programming, including the increase. in the number of Leadership Conferences from 2 to 4. This allows more students and alumni advisors to participate at geographically convenient locations. The Leadership Consultant Visitation Program was adjusted, adding the concept of "focus topics, " allowing chapters to select from a menu of topics in order to tailor consultant visits to their specific needs. The Fraternity's comprehensive system of educational and chapter management manuals were edited and supplemented. In addition, free recruitment materials were provided to each chapter to provide support in this very vital area. Finally, a director of chapter services was employed to further improve the services provided to our chapters and advisors.

Improved Administrative Operations

This past year many of the internal operating systems were "re-engineered" including the _creation of a Communications Department and the implementation of an affiliate wide Accounting Department. The combined financial operations of the Greater Fraternity approach $4 million per year. At the same time, the Communications Department has enhanced the overall image of our publications with many accolades and awards received to date. Housing The Fraternity continues to provide

More importantly, one of our brothers died at the University of Virginia in an alcohol-related incident and a young co-ed died of alcohol intoxication at Radford University after attending an alleged Pi Kappa Phi event and subsequently

Membership in the Fraternity means personal responsibility and unfortunately some of our members and chapters have forgotten their obligations. Pi Kappa Phi will continue to diligently work with our members to ensure that Pi Kappa Phi is truly a Fraternity and not a social club. As a Fraternity, we have standards and will continue to enforce them.

Unfortunately, the national attitude toward fraternities continues to remain negative as both the national press and college administrators assail us for incidents involving

interest and negative perception about fraternities is further compounded by the panacea of second semester deferred rush as a solution for the ills of the fraternity system. Furthermore, many fraternities and colleges are reviewing substance free living environments (see page 42) as a solution to the alcohol abuse taking place in fraternity houses on the colleges' campuses. On a local level we continue to receive complaints from alu mni about the lack of "friendliness and cleanliness" at the chapter houses.

He played offensive tackle for two seasons with the USFL Tampa Bay Bandits before joining the Cleveland Browns in 1985. Fike started regularly at guard for six years before a knee injury cut his playing time. Prior to the injury, Fike had gained notoriety for AII-NFL second team honors in 1986 and a Pro Bowl selection in 1987. He continued with the Browns through 1992 and then joined the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1993. Throughout his career, Fike had appeared in 151 professional games. Punter-kicker Mickey Stinnett of James Madison (Delta Tau) earned All-American honorable mention in 1984 and was signed by the New England

Patriots as a free agent. As a punter, his career average was 40.3 yards. As placekicker, he amassed 163 career points including a career best 53-yard field goal. Even in the 1990s, the Fraternity's influence is still a dominant factor on the squads at several schools. Wofford defensive back Sean McGinley gained All-American honorable mention in 1992 . Terrier nose tackle Chad Gabrich is the school's leader for sacks in a single season ( 17 in 1994) and career tackles for a loss (27) . Linebacker Tripp Weed had 40 tackles, including a team high 5 sacks, last fall after 41 stops as a defensive end in 1994. Pi Kapps have dominated the SUNY-Albany (Eta Xi) football squad the last three years. Wide receiver Andy Shein was a 1994 GTE Academic All American. He also won the ECAC Merit Medal and was on the Football Gazette All-East Region second team. He led the '94 team in scoring ( 60 points), receiving (53 catches for 976 yards, 9 TDs) and punt returns (28 for a 10.2 average). Tri-captain Chris Locci was an ECAC Upstate New York Jtll-Star and led the '94 team with 112 tackles. Also a tri-captain was Christopher Krafchek who ranked third with 65 stops. The 1995 season was also a big one for SUNYAlbany Pi Kapps. Chapter president and offensive guard Rich Tallarico was named to the GTE Academic All-American team and was a Division II Scholar Athlete of the Year. Tri-captain and center Nick Cremona was named to the Football Gazette Division II Non-Scholarship All-American first team and the ECAC-IFC Division II All-Star team. Fullback Jeremy Kachejian was voted as top offensive back after rushing for 724 yards on 147 carries. Quarterback Joe Savino started for the second consecutive year and set school records for completions (115) and attempts (244) while throwing for 1,402 yards and 11 TDs. Also


Saving the Greek System al Christensen knew it was time for change if the fraternity system at Utah State University had any hope of surviving. Christensen, vice president for student services at USU, saw a dying fraternity system that was a mere shell of what he had experienced as a college undergraduate member of Pi Kappa Alpha. "I was looking for an idea we could use anything we could do to save the system," Christensen says ofthe seemingly insurmountable problems he faced in the spring of 1995. "We had tried everything. Carding at the door. Requiring invitations. Nothing worked. Alcohol abuse was killing us." The once-proud Greek system at USU had deteriorated to the brink of extinction. USU was experiencing incident after incident, and alcohol was involved in almost every case. "We simply weren't getting the best students," Christensen says. "The best ones don't want to live in an unsafe place where they cannot study. They weren't joining fraternities." Christensen wasn't the first to recognize the problem. Nor was Utah State the first

delight, it worked. The chapter rebound~d, and three years later it is quite successful. A Sigma Chi now heads the Interfraternity Council at Maine. In an effort to stem the deterioration of the Greek system nationwide, NIC offered a trial program based on some of the concepts used at Maine. The result was a substance-free living program, and NIC floated the idea in one of its publications in the spring of 1995 . "I'd looked for years for an idea we could use," says Christensen. "When I saw that newsletter, I called NIC and asked if I could implement the program. They agreed, and we imposed it as our policy, word for word, for the fall of 1995. Needless to say, I wasn't a very popular guy around here." At first, undergraduate men balked at the idea of ridding fraternity houses of alcohol. So did members of women's groups who were accustomed to using the fraternity houses as convenient places to drink. Today, many in the Utah State system have become converts. "Things have gone really well," says David Dyer, president ofUSU's Delta Sigma Phi

campus to experience it. Leaders of the National Interfraternity Conference had seen the same pattern repeated nationwide, and a major turnaround had caught their eye. The Sigma Chi chapter at the University of Maine had been on the brink of extinction, and in desperation alumni there imposed a substance-free living environment. It was a lastchance effort to save the chapter. To their

chapter. "Oh sure, we had some things to struggle with, like alumni who didn't understand what we had done. And as far as activities go, you have to be creative." "Still, on balance it's been good. The problems we used to have with the surrounding community have disappeared, and we have a much better atmosphere in the house." One year later, Christensen considers the

program a resounding success. So does the NIC, which has partnered with the National Panhellenic Conference to create a Joint Task Force on Substance-Free Housing. Together, NIC and NPC intend to implement the program on several test campuses for the 1996-97 academic year. "Men's groups cannot solve this problem by themselves," says Jean Scott of Pi Beta Phi, who chairs NPC. "On campuses where there is a system-wide effort to pursue substance-free housing, members of women's fraternitites should encourage fraternity men to give it a try, and help them to successfully reach this meaningful goal." Christensen agrees. "We had only one bad incident last year in which a fraternity decided to violate our policy," he says. "They brought alcohol into the house. The women not only refused to participate, they turned them in. " It hasn't happened again. "Participation of the women's groups is essential," Christensen says. "We have to change the drinking culture on campus, and without the women's participation, it won't happen." Christensen hastens to add that the situation at Utah State is far from perfect. Still,

has increased sharply. "It's definitely possible to change the culture," says Christensen, "but it takes support from every alumni group as well as the undergraduates. We're recruiting higherquality members who are more academically oriented . Those people didn't join before." Those very attributes are the things that persuaded Brad Dove to join the reborn Alpha Tau Omega chapter at Purdue University. After closing its chapter 2 years ago, ATO recolonized at Purdue last year and enlisted 36 new members. Dove was one of them . "I had looked at other fraternities on campus," he says. "Some of the images I didn't care for. I thought that with a substance-free house, there would be more brotherhood. The chapter would be more committed to academ. " ICS.

Fraternities have succeeded as part of the college scene for more than 200 years, largely due to members' ability to adapt to the changing needs of students and society. Today, it is clear that campuses and communities will no longer tolerate underage drinking as acceptable behavior. Can fraternities adapt to this changing expectation? "Sure, they can adapt," says Christensen.
