The building of bridges One of my favorite stories is a tale ca lled "The Bridge Builder". Though it has been told a thousand times by thousands of people, the morale is simple and inspiring" Build bridges so those who come after you won't need to." Ten yea rs ago, Bruce Rogers (StetsonChi) built a bridge. His decision to ride a bicycle across the country in order to raise money and awareness for PUSH America and the people it served inspired an idea - the Journey of Hope. This coming summer, PUSH America will hold, in addition to the Journey of Hope, the lOth Anniversary Ride. By retracing Rogers' route, we will honor the man who sparked the idea for the PUSH America's most notable project, as well as celebrate ten years of what is widely considered the greatest fraternal event ever. The story, on page 14, covers the events which made the Journey of Hope what it is today. Another celebration within the Fraternity took place at Pi Kapp College this summer as Pi Kappa Phi welcomed Senator Ernest "Fritz" Hollings (D-South Carolina) into its broth erhood . His story, on page 3, and his decision to join us serve as an incredible testament to th e va lues of Pi Kappa Phi . Pi Kapp Co ll ege also welcomed the comedy of brother Todd Yohn (U NC Greensboro-Epsilon Iota) . On page 16 of this issue of the Star & Lamp, featuring members in show business, we have the opportunity to meet or reacquaint ourselves with Todd and other Pi Kapps who make a living in the entertainment field. In the Pi Kapp College highlights on page 6, you will also meet our internal celebrities: Mr. Pi Kappa Phi 1997, the Phillip M.

Summers Student of the Year, and other annual award winners who have contributed greatly to Pi Kappa Phi's success. In an example of great dedication and support of Pi Kappa Phi, two generous alumni recently established the first fully-endowed Journey chapter fund for Iowa State University (page 12) . Realizing the vision we have for all chapters, they have set a standard by which we will ensure that the best fraternity experience continues with Pi Kappa Phi. Unfortunately, the recent alcohol induced death of a Sigma Alpha Epsilon member at Louisiana State University reminds us all that we need to continue to work with our students to become good decision makers. Our work as role models and "bridge builders" for our members and other Greeks must constantly reflect our values as Pi Kapps. Finally, with the coming of th e football season, it is time again for the State of the Fraternity report (page 20). Pi Kappa Phi continues into its third year on The Journey and maintains its rank among other NIC groups. As a member in Pi Kappa Phi, you have much to be proud of. In the coming year, you will see new marketing strategies for the Fraternity, new expansions at universities across the country, a record number of Level II Journey chapters and another significant portion of our "bridge" being built. As always, enjoy this issue of the Star & Lamp.

In Pi Kappa Phi,

On August 2, 1997, Adair was honored recognizing more than 60 years of service and dedication to the Fraternity. "I appreciate the honor of being named Mr. Pi Kappa Phi immensely, " said Adair. "It makes me want to continue my efforts on behalf of Pi Kappa Phi." Adair began college at West Virginia University in 1936. While standing in a registration line, Adair heard a voice behind him ask if he was Alex Adair from Vancouver, Wash. The voice was that of Vic Orler, a Pi Kapp. Orler had received a call from Ralph Snider, a Pi Kapp from the University of Washington, who told him of Adair and considered him a fine prospect for the Fraternity. Snider had attended the same high school as Adair in Vancouver, Wash. In 1939 Adair transferred to the University of Washington where, two years later, he earned a bachelor of science in Chemistry. He was also commissioned as a 2nd Lt., Infantry Reserve at that time. Two years later, he was called up for one year of active duty with the Air Corps at McChord

Field near Tacoma, Wash. He was assigned to the 12th Bombardment Group and on July 15, 1942, was ordered to Egypt. For two years Adair flew B-25's, providing air support for allied forces in Egypt, Sicily, Italy, India, and China. He returned to the United States in November 1944. One year later he was released from active duty as a captain in the Air Force Reserve and embarked upon a

~


career as a civilian. "Having forgotten all of the chemistry I learned in college, I took a job with United Airlines in Boise, Idaho," recalled Adair. He transferred to Seattle, Wash. one year later and worked there until 1953, taking time out for two years of active duty with the Air Force during the Korean War. Adair retired from the Air Force in 1979 as a Lt. Colonel. In Seattle, he met Janet Hadden, a young lady who had come west to work for the National Park Service in the Olympic Mountains. Adair and Hadden were married in September 1950. With the rare distinction of having been an archon at two different chapters, Adair kept especially dose ties with the chapter at Washington. His role was important after the Alpha Delta Chapter closed in the late 60s due to lack of membership. Adair kept the Alpha Delta alumni group alive and active even though no active chapter existed. When Alpha Delta was recolonized in 1989, Adair was there to support and assist the chapter whenever possible. To this day, it is not uncommon for Adair to drop by the chapter house or chapter meeting to inspire and assist the chapter. For Adair, his reward is seeing the continual growth of the Fraternity. "[Pi Kappa Phi] has helped make my retirement years enjoyable," said Adair. "My faith in our younger generation is restored when I visit the chapter and see such a fine group of clean cut, hard working, enthusiastic young men working for their common good." According to Mark Timmes, Pi Kappa Phi's CEO, Adair is "all that every Pi Kapp should strive to be. We are proud to honor Alex Adair with this well-deserved recognition ." Adair currently lives in the Seattle area. He and his wife Jan have three children and six grandchildren.

AREA GOVERNOR OF THEYEARAWARD

Bob Langbein The job of Area Governor isn't just setting chapter goals or solving financial problems. For the Area Governor of Area 13 on the west coast, the responsibilities include a constant stream of expansions. Compound the responsibility of guiding six new chapters and maintaining eight established chapters by stretching them over a five state area, from Tucson, Ariz., to Seattle, Wash. During his term, the 1997 Area Governor of the Year, Bob Langbein (Cal State-Sacramento- Epsilon Nu), assisted in more than six charterings and expansions. His efforts reflect an area growth of nearly 75 percent. And, his area conclaves were known to bring together more than 200 Pi Kapps from every corner of Area 13. Initiated into Pi Kappa Phi in 1979, Langbein is a charter member of Epsilon Nu. He served his chapter as archon, vice archon, historian, and chaplain. He left the post of chapter advisor at Cal State-Fullerton (Zeta Rho) in 1993 to become Area Governor for the west coast. Langbein lives by the principle that you get out of your experience what you put into it. With a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a concentration in marketing, he worked in Los Angeles for 13 years with Sherwin-Williams. For the last six years at Sherwin-Williams, he held the position of District Sales Manager. He has since moved on to East Bay Paint Center in Albany, Calif. Since he purchased the paint distribution center in 1995, sales have increased 40 percent to $1.1 million. His dedication to Pi Kappa Phi and to his career are second only to his wife, Maria, and two children, Holly and Caroline. Langbein believes that fraternity membership is a lifetime affiliation for all members to enjoy. "I am ecstatic about winning this award, and even more excited by what the Area 13 chapters have been able to accomplish during my time as Area Governor. This is another rewarding moment in my Pi Kappa Phi experience."

Anthony J. Mazzarelli (Rho), there was no doubt that "Mazz" qualified for the Phillip M. Summers Student of the Year Award. As this year's Pi Kappa Phi student of the year, Mazzarelli has been described as "a scholar, an athlete, and a gentleman." He graduated with a GPA of 3.862 and membership in Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Eta Sigma, Omicron Delta Kappa, and the Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll. He has served Rho chapter as vice archon and scholarship chairman. He accompanied Pi Kapp delegates to Mid-Year Leadership Conference 1997 and the Undergraduate Interfraternity Institute.

his senior year. Exemplifying Pi Kappa Phi's effort to maintain a balanced life, Mazz served his community as an emergency room volunteer at the local hospital, as a peer counselor for other Washington and Lee students, and as chairman of the Minority Students Relations Committee.


In his busy schedule, Mazz also found time to serve as the Interfraternity Council president. His efforts with IFC garnered a cover shot on the university's magazine. Inside he was referred to as "Renaissance Mazz", meeting the challenges of an important position during a time of "faculty discontent 路 and student unrest." The Greek system at Washington & Lee was faced this year with the administration's decision to move to a deferred rush. In a time when it might have been easier to sit around and complain about the school's decision, Mazz led the charge to make winter rush work. W&L Magazine reported that Mazz had already become an important part of the IFC by the time of the faculty vote to defer rush. As an IFC junior justice, he and fellow IFC members were selected to chair the committee that formulated the winter rush rules and regulations. The committee eliminated most formal contact rules and established new pledgeship guidelines. The result: 96 percent of freshmen men signed up for rush and 81 percent pledged a fraternity. Within Rho chapter itself, Mazz established the Standards Board to deal with conflicts in the chapter. As vice archon, during his junior year, Mazz energized the brothers and got them interested in the affairs of the National Fraternity, according to Chapter Advisor Brian Shaw. "He embodies all the best characteristics to which Washington and Lee University students are expected to aspire and which this institution treasures in common with Pi Kappa Phi," Dean Atkins said of Mazzarelli. Mazz has been accepted for admission to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. *

Tim Lindemuth Tim Lindemuth has been a communicator throughout his professional life. He graduated from Potsda路m College in New York with a B.A. in Mathematics and Secondary Education in 1972 and went on to earn his M.S. in Journalism from Kansas State University in 1977. He was a military journalist for three years, taught English in Korea for a semester and taught journalism for two years. On Aug. 5, however, Lindemuth was struck speechless. "I got the call at 11:00 p.m.," he said. "After hearing the news, I couldn't say anything but, 'no - really!?"' The call was from Scott Kelley, Vice-Archon of Delta Chi Chapter. He had called from Charleston, S.C., where he was attending Pi Kapp College. Lindemuth had just been named Chapter Advisor of the Year. Lindemuth currently serves as the Director of Alumni Publications at Kansas State University and editor of the K-Stater alumni magazine. His work with Pi Kappa Phi began unintentionally in 1978, when Lindemuth, working with the News Services at Kansas State, was assigned to cover a developing campus story: the colonization and chartering of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. In 1991, Lindemuth found himself chatting with Pi Kapps again --this time as a neighbor. He bought a house half a block away from the chapter house. Lindemuth would later serve as spokesperson for the neighborhood association that supported Pi Kappa Phi's petition to rebuild their house. "The archon, vice-archon and treasurer took me out to dinner to thank me for helping get the petition," remembered Lindemuth. "That night, they asked me to be their advisor." Lindemuth agreed to become faculty advisor in January 1992. He was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi in September. Although he worked very closely with the chapter in all matters, it wasn't until the 1996 Supreme Chapter that Lindemuth agreed to assume the additional duties of chapter advisor. Through his six years as advisor to the chapter, Lindemuth has aided the Pi Kapps in weathering a three-year term without a house; the purchase of a new chapter house; and the establishment of an Alumni Advisory Board. "I always said that I wanted to be the advisor to the best chapter on campus," said Lindemuth. "I really feel I am." * -JRS FALL 1997

Funding The Journey ith the announcement of the first Chapter Journey Fund, it is appropri-

W

ate to explain some facts about how

The Journey is funded. This is important to understand, since this award-winning educational program is provided for chapters at significant cost to the national organization. To date, The Journey has been provided without a corresponding increase in membership dues or fees. So, where does the money come from? The Journey currently receives

funding from three primary sources. First, the national Fraternity provides funding from operating budget allocations. The second source is a one-time Journey Chapter fee of $500 and student "user fees" paid at training seminars. Students pay $10 - $20 fees to cover the cost of lunch and materials for the Covey Leadership Seminars and Career & Life Planning Conclaves. The third source of funding is educational grants from the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation. This year, primarily from funds generated in the Owen Initiative, the Foundation has provided $80,000 in grants to support The Journey. Foundation trustees have established Journey funding as a priority to provide relief to the Fraternity and the student members. Foundation funding of The Journey will be accomplished through three major initiatives. First is the Owen Initiative, which is a fund created to recognize Durward Owen's 35 years of service as Executive Director. The Owen Initiative has allowed early support for The Journey while additional funding sources are secured. Many

thanks to the loyal alumni who made contributions to the Owen Initiative. The second source of Foundation funding for The Journey is Chapter Journey Funds, like the one recently established for Alpha Omicron Chapter at Iowa State. Depending on the size of the chapter, chapter funds are required in amounts ranging from $60,000 to $90,000 or more to provide adequate support for a chapter's participation. Foundation volunteers and staff will contact chapter alumni, parents and friends to establish these chapter educational funds for each Journey chapter. The third major source of Foundation funding for The Journey is the National Journey Fund, which is established to provide support for those chapters who are building their chapter fund, and to provide program support which is not chapter-specific. Major gifts will be solicited from corporations, foundations, and significant individuals to establish this fund. Major gift opportunities have been identified for gifts ranging from $5,000 to $1 million. Contact the Foundation staff at (704 )523-6000 for more information concerning these opportunities to support this national award-winning educational program! -JSB

p In the beginning

The 1988 inaugural ride of "P.U.S.H. America" was inspired by Bruce Rogers' individual ride across the country in 1987. The trek's purpose was to raise funds and awareness for Pi Kappa Phi's service project, P.U.S.H. Fourteen cycl ists and five crew answered the call that went out to Pi Kapps nationwide. "Most of us had no路 Almquist did kno positive, ol 路 rse , this group of pioneers made the trek from San Diego, Calif. to Washington, D.C., following what was to become a large portion of the southern route. The 1988 team cycled more than 3,700 miles and raised approximately $75,000. Making a move

After 63,000 miles and $2 million raised for PUSH America, the Journey of Hope celebrates ten years of cycling and service. Combine the miles ridden by the 395 Pi Kapps who have made the trek and the Journey of Hope has traveled the equivalent of2.5 times around the world. 1998 marks the IOthAnniversary ofPUSHAmerica's oldest and most pro/i~c service project It also serves as a sign on the side of a very long but successful road, somewhere between San Francisco and Washington, D.C. 14

With one trip down, it was determined that a slight logistical change should be made. The 1989 team moved north, starting instead in San Francisco at the Golden Gate Bridge. The ride has begun there ever since. The '89 arrival was held in conjunction with the 42nd Supreme Chapter in Washington, D.C.

Not just another funny face When asked about his hopes and aspirations, he replied "I hope to clear all of my credit card debt. I'm aspiring to own a motorcycle and pay for my three daughters' weddings in cash." Todd Yohn (UNC Greensboro Epsilon Iota) makes a living by making people laugh. Currently one of the nation's top comedians, Yohn turned a seven minute standup routine into an 11 year career. Originally a full-time musician, Yohn worked solely in the music industry for 12 years. During that time he enjoyed a fair amount of success, even playing with blues guitarist Roy Buchanan. However, Yohn found himself continually drawn toward comedy. "There were too many egos to deal with, " said Yohn. "I had always headed up the bands, so I already had enough material for a segment. I just thought I'd give it a shot." His first performance was a seven minute stand-up act at a small club in Raleigh, N.C. The crowd loved him. After that successful first night, Yohn began to work full-time as a comedian. Since then he has played almost every comedy club in the United States. He has also appeared on 1V several times, including performances on the Showtime Comedy Club Network, Comedy 6n the Road with John Byner, MlV's Half Hour Comedy Hour, VH-l's Short Attention Span Theater, The Comedy ChanneL and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. He has also worked with celebrities such as Joan Rivers, The Charlie Daniels Band, Vic Damone, Bobcat Goldthwaite, The Monkees, Glenn CampbelL and Jeff Foxworthy. Yohn still finds time for the Fraternity while on the road and often encounters other Continued next page FALL 199 7

Wild Country Pi Kappa Phi's most recognizable entertainer is Alabama guitarist, Randy Owen

IF I

(Jacksonville State- Delta Epsilon) . Owen founded the band, originally named Wild Country, along with two of his cousins in his hometown, Fort Payne, Ala. From these humble beginnings, Owen and Alabama grew to become the most popular country music band of all time. The road was not a straight shot to the top for Alabama. In 1973, the band relocated to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to become the house band for a club called The Bowery. Working for tips, they played six nights a week, honing the

harmonies that would later became the Alabama trademark They stayed seven summers at The Bowery and gained a huge local following . After a series of independent label releases, the band finally landed the backing of a major label at the New Faces Show during the Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, Tenn. RCA loved their sound. In 1980, they released their debut album, My Home's In Alabama. Every song released from that album became a #1 hit. That was only the beginning.

Some of the band's accomplishments are as follows: 14 platinum albums (two quadruple, three triple, two double), four gold albums, and dozens of hit singles of which 41 reached #1 on the charts. Alabama annually wins several music awards. Some of these include Country Music Group of the Year, Album of the Year, Single of the Year, and Billboard's Country Artist of the Decade (1980s) . Overall, more than 55 million Alabama albums have been sold . Owen has always kept in touch with Pi Kappa Phi . Several signed album covers are on display at the National Headquarters including the cover of the 1987 album "Just Us" which features a set of Pi Kappa Phi letters draped over the back of a chair in which Owen is seated .

Pi Kappa Phi will becomÂŁ America's leading fraternity - augmÂŁRting the education of America's finest men on campuses across the nation, through its uncompromising passion to maintain the lofty standards which teach all members the true meaning of brotherhood... Pi Kappa P!Ji Vision Statement

In 1996-97 Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity continued on its journey to become America's leading fraternity. Through the hard work of our staff and many volunteers, as well as the neverending stream of new men, Pi Kappa Phi continues to attain new levels of excellence.

Expansion This past year Pi Kappa Phi chartered chapters at the University of Kentucky, University of Arizona, Miami University of Ohio, Stockton State, and the University of Maryland-Baltimore County. In addition, we opened new associate chapters at New Mexico State University, University of Oregon, Texas Christian University and the University of Southern California. In the fall of 1997 plans are underway to expand to Texas Tech University, University of Southern Mississippi and Jacksonville State University. Because of Pi Kappa Phi's leadership in the interfraternity world with PUSH America, our national philanthropy, and the award winning Journey Project numerous opportunities are available for continued growth throughout the United States. Unfortunately, several chapters and associate chapters were closed due to failure to meet the standards of the fraternity, including San Francisco State, Indiana State, Villanova University, Sacramento State Associate Chapter, and the University of Minnesota Associate Chapter. We are hopeful that we will one day be able to return to those institutions. Journey Project

Chapter Statistics As the side bar indicates, Pi Kappa Phi ranked very favorably in comparison to our interfraternal peers. We currently have 129 chartered chapters, which is 13th in size nationally among the NIC fraternities reporting information. This year Pi Kappa Phi initiated its 75,000 member. We continue to rank in the top ten in most of the pertinent statistics, including eighth in average number of pre-initiates and 20

THE STAR & LAMP

We have completed the second year of the Journey Project and continue to be gratified by the outpouring of support from the students, alumni, and college administrators for the program. Currently, 53 chapters have voted to become Level II Journey chapters and 22 chapters have been fully implemented under Level II of the project. We have 30 Academic Coaches in place executing the highly successful Collegiate Success Program developed by Dr. Chip


Voorneveld from the College of Charleston. As a result of a chapters' participation in Level II of the Journey Project, we have already seen increases in recruitment and scholarship performance. Most importantly, the Journey Project received the AFA Educational Programming Award at the AFA conference in Orlando this past December. The Journey Project, along with PUSH America, continues to be two of the outstanding jewels in our crown. Leadership Events

Pi Kappa Phi continues to provide unparalleled leadership training to our undergraduates. More than 700 students attended one of our four Mid-Year Leadership Conferences held in Charlotte, N.C.; St. Louis, Mo.; Philadelphia, Penn.; and San Jose, Calif. in January of 1997. Additionally, more than 400 Pi Kapps received intensive leadership and chapter management training at Pi Kapp College in Charleston, S.C., this past August. Pi Kappa Phi remains committed to providing the highest quality of educational support to enable our young men to become more successful as individuals and as a chapter. Leadership Consultants

This past year, six Leadership Consultants traveled throughout the United States to provide leadership and chapter management education in the chapters. Every chapter of the fraternity was visited at least once this past school year, with the super majority receiving a visit each semester. Risk Management

Under Durward Owen's leadership, Pi Kappa Phi pioneered the interfraternal FIPG risk management policy in the late 1980s. As the alcohol culture continues to dominate the college campus in the 1990s, Pi Kappa Phi continues its efforts to provide educational support to our students in order to help them be more effective decision makers.

Unfortunately, some of our chapters made poor decisions in this area and the charters of Omicron Chapter at the University of Alabama, Alpha Epsilon Chapter at the University of Florida, and Alpha Theta Chapter at Michigan State University were escrowed with their alumni, pending compliance with disciplinary sanctions. In addition, other incidents have led to the filing of several lawsuits against the Fraternity at Oregon State University and the University of South Carolina. In order to provide liabi lity insurance coverage to our students, chapters and volunteers Pi Kappa Phi, in conjunction with 11 other fraternities, has formed a captive insurance company in Bermuda called FRMT, Ltd. This captive provides $5,000,000 of liability insurance with plans to increase the coverage to $11,000,000 this coming school year. The participation in the captive has enabled us to provide comprehensive liability insurance at a reasonable cost through the sharing of risk and pooling of resources. The creation of FRMT, Ltd. is unprecedented in the fraternity world. A significant trend in the interfraternity world is the announcement of alcohol-free chapter houses by Sigma Nu and Phi Delta Theta fraternities . Pi Kappa Phi is intensively studying the issue and is participating in a Total Membership pilot program of the National 75,675 Interfraternity Conference (NIC) ilK(]) ranked 21 among 43 groups called Select 2000, which includes alcohol-free chapter houses as part of its agenda. Interfraternity

Pi Kappa Phi's involvement at the interfraternity level remains very high. In

BY STEPHEN WHITBY DIRECI'OR OF ED UCATIONAL PROGRAMMING


TheJourney Labor Day weekend is a time to sit back, relax, and take some time off from work or school. Labor Day weekend is a vacation for most of our members; spent with family, working around the house and celebrating the short respite from the same old grind. Eta Upsilon chapter (Miami, OH) had a different idea of what to do this past Labor Day. Sixty-five members of one of our fraternity's newest chapters gathered at a campground outside of Oxford, Ohio, for a retreat. These men would spend the next two days learning about Pi Kappa Phi and each other while participating in their final step of Journey Implementation. Friday, 7:05pm It was a crisp late-summer night. Greg Grilliot, the chapter's founding Archon, assembled the men on the grass courtyard at Camp America, a rustic cabin facility built for group retreats. Steve Whitby, Pi Kappa Phi's Director of Educational Programming; kicked off the retreat with two hours of team building projects, aimed at tying the chapter together. Seven group challenges faced the brothers as they sweat together. Obstacles large and small were placed in the path of the brotherhood, and the men soon learned that in order to accomplish their objectives true teamwork would have to prevail. Friday, 9:15pm After bringing the chapter together, it was time to get down to the work of the weekend. Goal-setting was the theme of the evening. Two hours later, the result


was simple. One goal. One theme. One job. Eta Upsilon had

dissected their chapter and analyzed the strengths and challenges of every aspect of their brotherhood. By the time they were done, the goal was simple and clear: Pi Kappa Phi Will Be The Best Fraternity At Miami University. The task at hand for Saturday's discussion was simple as well: How do we get there? Friday, 11:20 pm Chaplain Mike McKernan handed each man a candle, asking for silence. He then led the chapter, single file, a few hundred yards into the pitch-black night forest. For the next thirty minutes, he helped the chapter facilitate a subordinate ritual focusing on the incredible power each member possesses within himself when he works as a part of 30

the greater Brotherhood. All sixty-five brothers left the woods that night gripping a lit candle, and fighting back tears of Brotherhood. Friday, 11:50 pm The bonfire was lit and the brothers gathered. For the rest of the night, the chapter sat around a blazing fire and talked about the great days they've had together as Pi Kapps. Every man got his chance to sign the retreat journal started almost three years earlier. After a few hours of stories, jokes and fraternity memories, everyone started

off to the cabins for a good night's sleep. Saturday, 7:00am The coffee was brewing early as the guys rolled out of bed, ready for a long day. By eight o'clock everyone had assembled in the retreat room fired up for the morning's

work. For the next four hours, the chapter discussed The Journey and all of its components. They wrestled with higher standards and expectations for their membership. They planned how they could use The

Journey in rush. The morning went by quickly as they constructed a composite of the perfect chapter, to use as a guide on their journey. Saturday, 2:00pm After lunch and a game of intense 12on-12 flag football, everyone gathered for a chapter meeting and closing session. The chapter celebrated the great weekend they had just completed by undertaking one final teambuilder. The forty remaining brothers pushed, pulled, carried and threw each other through the holes in a twenty foot-by-twenty foot "spider web" of twine. After forty

minutes of hard work, everyone was through the web, and the weekend was over. A chapter full of recommitted Pi Kapps went home to classes, girlfriends and dormrooms with a new energy about what it means to be a brother of Pi Kappa Phi. A chapter's Journey implementation retreat is the final step in the process of becoming a Journey Level II chapter. The intent of the retreat weekend is to teach the full meaning of the Journey, and to help the chapter understand its role in building its members into men. Eta Upsilon chapter took the challenge of the weekend head-on and used the time to grow together and realize how far they can go as a group. The Journey's purpose is building better men, and at retreats like this one, it's easy to see how great the men are that Pi Kappa Phi is building. To date, 53 chapters have accepted the challenge.
