SPRING 2009
CEOCORNER by MARK E. TIMMES
ad astra per asperA Ad Astra Per Aspera is a Latin phrase meaning “Through difficulties to the stars.” Well, these are certainly difficult times. As we experience the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression, Americans are losing jobs and homes. Some are having difficulty providing for their families. 401Ks are being decimated and funds set aside for retirement and our children’s education are being depleted. Some students can no longer afford to return to campus. For those that do, many do not have the financial stability to remain involved in Greek organizations. Others are working part-time jobs with less time to participate in fraternity. Volunteers are stretched ever-so-thin as they work longer hours in hopes of demonstrating their value in return for job security. As volunteers are stretched, they have less time to provide guidance to volunteer-based organizations like fraternities. Yet, as bleak as the headlines have read over the past several months, I firmly believe that the “trend line” of Pi Kappa Phi certainly points upward. Ad Astra Per Aspera. Through difficulties to the stars. This phrase was used by National President A. Pelzer Wagener in the October 1932 issue of the Star & Lamp in his comments on the fraternity during the heart of the Great Depression. “How will Pi Kappa Phi come through this?” “The answer lies in our hands, active members and alumni.” “I have faith in your loyalty and devotion to our fraternity, which you have helped to build. Now is the time when you capitalize these. If we pass the test of this trying period, the future is assured.” It seems fitting that we ask the question once again: “How will Pi Kappa Phi come through this?” We remain cautiously optimistic, but we believe the answer is that we will weather this crisis well as we continue to reach for the stars. Unlike in 1932, the fraternity has built a solid base of 146 chapters—132 chartered chapters and 14 associate chapters—ranking us 10th in size among other fraternities. This base combined with an aggressive growth strategy to open new chapters has positioned us well. And despite the difficulties presented by this recession, our students have risen to the challenge in recruitment as men continue to join in record numbers and students see the value of an extended family and lifelong network of brothers in these trying times. With more than 7,000 undergraduate members, our average chapter size is back up to 50 men. Such critical mass will allow our chapters to weather the storm even if we see attrition in future numbers. One poor rush will not create a downward spiral and sound the death knell. And our chapters have been diligent in collecting dues because they recognize the urgency of each brother shouldering his share. Rest assured we too will remain vigilant as we seek to pass the test of this trying period. In this issue we recognize those alumni and friends who have shared their treasure by making a donation in support of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation. We also recognize that brothers support the fraternity through others means—through time and talent or through support at a local level. And of course, we appreciate that some who normally make a gift each year have been unable to do so. This we understand. Of special note is the effort led by Kelley Bergstrom, Alpha Omicron (Iowa State), in the vision of creating a true “leadership center.” We were pleased to formally dedicate the Kelley A. Bergstrom Leadership Center of Pi Kappa Phi over Founders’ Day. A cost-effective, state-of-the-art national headquarters building in a vibrant urban town center, the Leadership Center is already fulfilling its role as we’ve hosted several chapters and alumni groups for retreats and workshops. And our heritage is beautifully displayed in the stately Eldred J. Harman Museum. Several interfraternal leaders have commented that Pi Kappa Phi’s new home is as impressive a place as they have seen. It is certainly our hope that you will visit us soon! As always, enjoy this issue of the Star & Lamp! Mark E. Timmes Chief Executive Officer mtimmes@pikapp.org

L
ukin Murphy spent his college career taking advantage of the opportunities laid before him. As a member of Pi Kappa Phi, these opportunities were available through the programs of Push America. As an undergraduate member of the Delta Delta chapter at Truman State, Murphy participated in his first Push America event in the spring of 2003—a Push Camp at Clemson University Outdoor Laboratory in Clemson, S.C. In the fall of 2003, Murphy was elected as the Push America chairman, and in this role, he led Delta Delta to host its first AccessABILITY project. Though he didn’t know it at the time, that one event led to a chapter tradition of commitment to service through Push America. In the following years, Murphy continued to serve the disability community by participating in several other local and national Push America events, including the “six life-changing weeks” spent as a Build America crew member in 2004. Following Murphy’s graduation from Truman State in 2006, he entered the graduate program for Intercultural Youth and Family Development at the University of Montana. For his graduate work, Murphy was able to intertwine his background in the field of anthropology with his interest in people with developmental disabilities. While in graduate school, Murphy was employed at Opportunity Resources, Inc.—Montana’s largest organization serving people with disabilities—where he helped to sponsor the 2007 Journey of Hope TransAmerica team as it passed through Missoula, Mont.
B
y the time Murphy completed his graduate program, another incredible opportunity lay before him: to spend a year traveling the world to help people with disabilities. Murphy arrived in the Republic of Georgia in October 2008, just a few months after the Russian incursion. After extensive travel into the country from Turkey, he finally reached his destination: the Temi Community in a remote part of eastern Georgia. The Temi Community was founded after the break-up of the Soviet Union to provide a healthy alternative to government institutions, which were notoriously underfunded and mismanaged. Temi provides a home for 60 residents with both physical and cognitive disabilities. But it is more than just a home, it is a community for those without a community of their own. Residents grow vegetables in the large garden, care for cows which provide milk, build furniture in their workshop, and host all manner of cultural and recreational events. While in Temi, Murphy’s tasks included developing a volunteer guide, harvesting vegetables, gathering fruits and mushrooms, cutting firewood, construction, and grant research. “Life at Temi isn’t easy,” said Murphy. “There are no showers, very little hot water, sporadic electricity, no internet, and money is scarce. But the amazing people and location make up for the lack of modern amenities. And despite these difficulties, the residents are loved, well-fed and much happier than they would be at a large government-run institution.” According to Murphy, the Temi Community offers unlimited possibilities for volunteers to engage with residents. “One child in particular has affected me deeply,” said Murphy. “Datuna is an adorable 7-year-old boy who uses a wheelchair
after falling from a seventh story window. He came to Temi about three years ago in poor health and with behavioral difficulties. Since his arrival at Temi, his behavior has been very positive. He is a gifted child; he already speaks several English words just from listening to me speak.”
A
fter about four weeks at Temi, it was time to move on. Murphy’s next opportunity to volunteer was a six-week adventure in Sadhana Village, located southwest of Mumbai in western India. Sadhana Village was founded in 1993 by a man looking for care for his daughter. Doctors suggested a “rehabilitation home.” However, after learning that such “homes” were subject to neglect, malnutrition and abuse; the father established Sadhana Village as a place where people of varying abilities could live happy, healthy and fulfilling lives. “The premise is simple; people with disabilities have the same needs as everyone else: adequate food and shelter, opportunities to express themselves creatively, and to belong to a family and community,” said Murphy. “Sadhana Village meets these needs better than similar organizations in India because each resident’s individual needs and desires are emphasized, but it is also more successful than many similar organizations in the United States because familial and cultural relationships are very highly valued in Indian culture.” “When I first arrived, I thought I would be working to increase Sadhana’s organizational capacity through grantwriting, staff training, fundraising, technology acquisition, etc. I quickly learned that this was not my role,” said Murphy. “I was there to enrich the lives of the residents. After this realization, I experienced an unexpected wave of relief; I could get to know the unique and interesting residents. I taught Sarang to use my digital camera, upload photos to his personal computer, and put them into a presentation that he will show to new guests and volunteers of Sadhana. I worked with Yetin to practice his English and to compose a short biography that he read at a community meeting. These may be small contributions, but I knew my presence made a few people happy.” “As expected, I learned more from the people at Sadhana than I could have possibly hoped to teach them. The way of life in this enclave of acceptance and good-will has made an indelible impact on how I envision my future career and lifestyle. It really is the little things that make all the difference.”
W
hen his time was finished in Sadhana Village, Murphy continued traveling throughout India and into China. And although it is sometimes a daily challenge, Lukin Murphy continues to seize the opportunities laid before him. A passion for people with disabilities and self-discovery has led him on a journey across the globe in service to others. As Murphy searches for his next opportunity to serve, you can’t help but wonder what opportunities lay ahead for the young men who, like Murphy during his collegiate years, are just beginning to discover the opportunities available to them through Pi Kappa Phi and Push America.

the kelley a. bergstrom leadership center of
Pi Kappa Phi
The Kelley A. Bergstrom Leadership Center is an efficient and dynamic home for the National Fraternity. Like the Roman God Janus who possessed the ability to view the past and the future, the Leadership Center not only captures and displays our rich heritage and history—the exterior façade is a replica of 90 Broad Street, the birthplace of Pi Kappa Phi—but also brings into focus Pi Kappa Phi’s vision and aspiration for the future: to redefine fraternity as a lifelong brotherhood of leaders. named for former foundation chairman and mr. pi kappa phi 1987 kelley a. bergstrom, alpha omicron (iowa state), the fraternity’s new office is more than just the administrative home to the greater fraternity, it’s a place that welcomes students and alumni, educates them on the remarkable story of our history, and serves as a place where leaders gather to sharpen their skills and to reaffirm their commitment to building a better fraternity. the Founders In 1904 seven students at the College of Charleston created what well over 100,000 men have experienced since: brotherhood in Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. Pieces of the personal narratives of Andrew Alexander Kroeg Jr., Simon Fogarty Jr., Lawrence Harry Mixson, A. Pelzer Wagener, Tom Mosimann, James Fogarty and Theodore ‘Teddy’ Kelly are captured in the Founders’ Display. Visitors to the museum will learn about our founders’ contribution to Pi Kappa Phi as students and as alumni, but will also gain insight into who they were as individuals and their complex relationship with one another throughout their years. Photos of all seven founders anchor the display, which includes such items as Founder Kroeg’s obituary written by Teddy Kelly and published in the 1922 Star & Lamp; Founder Fogarty’s diploma from the College of Charleston; and Founder Mixson’s original initiation shingle.

the Keystone One of the architectural elements used throughout the building is a keystone containing the Starshield emblem. Its use connects directly to a Founders’ Day address made by Founder Mixson in 1961. This display, which hangs near the front door of the building, serves as a ‘Rosetta stone’ of sorts, unlocking the meaning and use of the keystone throughout the space.
eldred j. harman Museum The Eldred J. Harman Museum is named for former Foundation Trustee and Mr. Pi Kappa Phi 1998 Eldred J. Harman, Alpha Omicron (Iowa State). Through Brother Harman’s generous leadership, visitors to the Kelley A. Bergstrom Leadership Center can learn about our fraternity’s rich history—from its provincial beginnings in Charleston, South Carolina, to its nationwide reach today. Visitors will find inspiration in the personal stories of those who have lived a life of service in advancing the values of Pi Kappa Phi. Nine separate display areas convey Pi Kappa Phi’s history while the museum incorporates architectural elements to create the feel of Charleston at the turn of the century.
porterfield - tirado Education
& Seminar Room
This conference center is poignantly named in memory of the two students who have made the ultimate sacrifice in their service to Pi Kappa Phi’s philanthropy, Push America—Todd Porterfield, Alpha Delta (Washington), and Jason Tirado, Zeta Epsilon (George Mason). These two men both lost their life in the summer of 2000 while volunteering for the greater fraternity. The Porterfield – Tirado Education & Seminar Room honors the legacy of these two men and provides a space to further the goals and aspirations of Pi Kappa Phi. Used for chapter retreats, volunteer training and member education, this state-of-the-art conference facility, which can accommodate up to 70 people, is the heart of the Leadership Center. The room was generously donated by former Push America President and Mr. Pi Kappa Phi 2008 Bruce L. Rogers, Chi (Stetson).

STAR & LAMP / SPRING 2009
Shortly after the chartering of Eta (Emory)—the fraternity’s eighth chapter—Eminent Supreme Archon L. Harry Mixson, with the intentions of promoting a greater connection between brothers of Pi Kappa Phi, commissioned the publishing of a comprehensive catalogue that listed the names and cities of residence for all members of the fraternity. The catalogue was to include a “banner” for each chapter. Compiled by Simon Fogarty and illustrated by James Fogarty, this catalogue contains two details of note. First, the the chapter designation then was preceded by the state in which it was located. Second, the chapter banners as illustrated by James Fogarty are the first known attempt to visually “brand” student chapters as independent entities under the umbrella of Pi Kappa Phi. Beta (Presbyterian) is the only chapter that continues to regularly use the banner designed by Fogarty. Each banner was initialed with “J.F.” enclosed in a diamond.
the original Minutes Prominently displayed in the museum are the original minutes of Pi Kappa Phi’s founding. Included in this display are the minutes from November 19, 1904, that document the creation of Nu Phi. Also included are the minutes from the Chrestomatic Literary Society meeting on November 21, which confirm that the Nu Phi plan to seize control of the Soceity was enacted.
chapter Newsletters
Chapter newsletters have played an important role in keeping alumni connected to their fraternity and to the friends they’ve found through fraternity for many decades. Arguably, there has been no greater outreach tool that student chapters and alumni organizations have historically employed than the periodic publication of a newsletter.
executive Directors
Since 1924 when Pi Kappa Phi hired George Sheetz, Alpha (Charleston), as the first paid chief administrator, a total of eight men, including current CEO Mark E. Timmes, have served Pi Kappa Phi in this role. Charged with the day-to-day management of the fraternity and its affiliated entities, each administrator and their respective staffs have left a lasting impact on the greater fraternity.

Annual Report 2008
As I write to you today, I’m watching the stock market on my computer, and it’s been another one of those rollercoaster performances where the market opens lower, breaks into positive territory and then sinks again as the clock ticks toward the closing bell. Financial experts refer to this as ‘volatility,’ though we know it on a much more personal and guttural level. Days like today and indeed the last several months, force you to reconsider things that you used to take for granted; things that once seemed sure. Certainly, the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation has not been immune to market forces, but the news isn’t entirely bad either. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Foundation’s portfolio, which is currently invested using Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) purchased through Charles Schwab and overseen by the Foundation’s Investment Committee, had posted a loss of 23.79 percent. While any loss can be painful, we know things could have been much worse. Many of us have certainly seen, heard or personally felt the pain of larger declines in our own portfolios. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 33.8 percent of its value during the same time, so if there’s any silver lining in this otherwise clouded horizon, it is the fact that we have been able to avoid—through thoughtful management and good fortune—some of the headline losses that have touched other foundations. But rest assured, Investment Committee Chairman Pat Danehy, Delta Zeta (Appalachian State), and company continue to keep a watchful eye over the Foundation’s portfolio as we chart our course through these turbulent waters. I am very happy to report that last year the Foundation completed its largest-ever capital campaign, securing gifts and pledges totaling $1.61 million. The Foundation’s “Preserving the Past, Realizing the Future” campaign, a multi-year effort that began in 2005, effectively secured funding for a new national headquarters (see page 7 for a list of donors). Among the many things we’re proud of with this campaign is the fact that no student dollars were solicited in the effort, nor was there any lapse in annual funding to the fraternity as a result of raising the restricted dollars. In essence, we were able to raise these funds while preserving the Foundation’s core mission— to support the educational programs of Pi Kappa Phi—without interruption. Tying into that campaign, the dedication of the Kelley A. Bergstrom Leadership Center of Pi Kappa Phi last December was an unparalleled success for the greater fraternity. The Bergstrom Leadership Center is a remarkable facility,

complete with a state-of-the-art conference facility (The Porterfield – Tirado Education & Seminar Room), which is already seeing considerable traffic from both student and alumni groups, and an impressive museum (The Eldred J. Harman Museum), which beautifully captures and displays the rich history of our fraternity. Meanwhile, the core mission of the Foundation has remained consistent, and the Foundation continued its support of fraternity programs such as Life 401, Pi Kapp College, Mid Year Leadership Conferences, and our Alcohol Education Initiatives like Alcohol Skills Training Program (ASTP), Ladder of Risk and GreekLifeEdu. All remain strong and well-attended. In fact, our three Mid Year Leadership Conferences this year alone exceeded more than 1100 attendees for the first time in history. And later this summer, Pi Kapp College will celebrate its 50th Anniversary by returning to the College of Charleston. Lastly and in terms of total gifts received, I’m happy to report that in 2008 the Foundation received $744,615 in charitable gifts from alumni and friends. This compares to $1,015,987 in 2007 and $632,339 in 2006. This, of course, is only made possible by you, and we are grateful for your trust and support. I’m looking at the ticker again, and the green arrow is pointed up–the market just closed today with a gain of a little over 100 points. This is the third day in a row, and there’s a growing sense of confidence and surety. I believe in my heart that the arrow also points upward for Pi Kappa Phi. I know this because of the indomitable spirit that you and thousands of others have shown through your generosity over the last year. And while we rest for a brief moment, there is much work to be done as the Foundation furthers its planning for a future campaign to endow the important educational programs of Pi Kappa Phi.

Schools Pi Kappa Phi’s Leadership Schools—Pi Kapp College and Mid Year Leadership Conference— are designed to support the mission of the fraternity by providing leading-edge education, training and personal development to the emerging leaders of Pi Kappa Phi. Through the Pi Kappa Phi Educational Grant, the Foundation provides funding each year to offset the costs of the leadership schools.
“Mid Year was a wonderful experience, and I am so fortunate to have been given the chance to go. I learned a lot to use within my chapter that will hopefully help the chapter grow and be successful on campus and in the community.”
Pi Kapp College brings students leaders from across the country together each summer for advanced leadership training based on the values of Pi Kappa Phi. To mark the its 50th anniversary, Pi Kapp College will be held at the College of Charleston in 2009.

Mid Year Leadership Conference is held regionally each January to provide newly elected chapter officers with training unique to their specific position. Pi Kappa Phi is the only national fraternity that offers training to 100 percent of its undergraduate officers. In 2009, Mid Year attendance hit record levels with 988 students participating. In a survey of those students, 95 percent rated their conference experience as “excellent” or “good.”

life 401 with
John Spence
“Life 401 with John Spence was very motivating and influential. It opened my eyes to how success is achieved, and it has changed my life already. Every brother should have the opportunity to experience it.”
LIFE 401 is a powerful “advanced life skills” workshop that prepares undergraduates for life after college. Developed by Pi Kappa Phi alumnus and Fortune 100 consultant John Spence, LIFE 401 is based on more than 20 years of research and personal experience on what it takes to build a happy, successful, balanced and joyful life. Spence regularly facilitates the same session for executives at companies like GE, IBM, Microsoft, State Farm and the U.S. Navy. Supported through the Foundation’s annual Educational Grant, LIFE 401 is presented exclusively within the collegiate world to Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

LIFELONG GAMMA KAPPA CELEBRATES 40 YEARS pi kappa phi’s chapter at georgia southern recognizes its first initiate
On November 2, 1968, then-Area Governor Phil Tappy, and Don Dalton—both of Lambda chapter at the University of Georgia—met with 16 undergraduates in Statesboro, Georgia, to begin the chartering process for what would become the 62nd chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. That evening, 17 young men (including a faculty advisor) were initiated as the “charter brothers” of Gamma Kappa chapter at Georgia Southern University. The following night, a banquet was held at the Statesboro Holiday Inn. The guest speaker was the Valdosta State’s Director of Public Relations, Brother Fluker Stewart, Chi (Stetson). Also in attendance was Georgia Southern President Dr. John O. Eidson and Pi Kappa Phi National President Charles Tom Henderson, Chi (Stetson), as well as representatives from the other campus fraternities and sororities. Four decades later, over the weekend of November 7, 2008, Gamma Kappa celebrated its 40th anniversary. The event was attended by nearly 50 Gamma Kappa alumni, 34 of whom were among the first 84 initiated into the chapter and 10 of the 13 living founding fathers. Overall, there were nearly 100 alumni, undergraduate members and guests in attendance. At the banquet, Gamma Kappa’s first initiate, John Riggs, shared his experience with the chapter’s founding. Riggs was first exposed to Pi Kappa Phi while being recruited to join the Alpha Alpha chapter as a student at Mercer. However, he transferred to Georgia Southern and was never initiated at Mercer. At Georgia Southern, Riggs worked with Pi Kappa Phi’s national staff to help start the Gamma Kappa chapter. His work led him to become the chapter’s first initiate. Forty years later, the chapter honored Riggs’ efforts in establishing the chapter by recognizing him as the first “Mr. Gamma Kappa.” In his acceptance speech, Riggs said he considered the founding of Gamma Kappa chapter to be one of his proudest accomplishments in both his personal and professional life, and that he was honored to carry the mantel of being the first initiate of such a quality group of men. To commemorate the anniversary, Riggs gave each student and alumni a written history of Gamma Kappa, which he had originally written for the chapter’s 25th anniversary and updated for the 40th. The following is an excerpt:

STAR & LAMP / SPRING 2009
Since that memorable day 40 years ago, Gamma Kappa has grown to one of the best fraternities at Georgia Southern University. Through the hard work of the undergraduates and the advice and financial support of many alumni, the chapter built the first Greek house on fraternity row in 1986—a remarkable achievement. Such an achievement was beyond the founding members’ wildest imaginations in 1968. Over the past 40 years, the chapter has now initiated more than 900 members. On behalf of all Gamma Kappa brothers, the initial 16 members would like to thank Durward Owen, former Executive Director, for his foresight in 1968. Durward saw in 16 young men what someone else might not have seen—a burning desire to be a part of history and a love of Pi Kappa Phi. It is hard to imagine that the chapter we see today was started by 16 young men and one alumni advisor. However, the quality of our chapter is not due exclusively to the 16 charter brothers. The many brothers who followed us, especially in the first few years, deserve so much of the credit for what the fraternity has become today. They worked tirelessly to establish Gamma Kappa’s reputation on campus. With the chartering brothers graduating and difficulties in recruiting against many larger fraternities, it would have been extremely easy to fold. And these were the late 60s and early 70s—turbulent times on college campuses. The Vietnam conflict was on-going; the first military draft lottery was initiated; the peace and ecology movements were in full swing; drugs were prevalent on campuses; and individuals were seeking their own identities. Recruiting was very difficult. Yet, these young men who followed the charter members persevered and made Gamma Kappa stronger. They are truly deserving of recognition for their dedication to chapter. With Durward Owen’s help, the charter brothers simply planted the Gamma Kappa seeds. The tremendous success we experience today is due to the 900-plus brothers who followed us. Keep up the good work. You continue to make us proud to be Pi Kapps.

Theta Delta
This April, Omicron chapter hosted an event to celebrate the 92nd anniversary of the chapter’s local founding at the University of Alabama. The event was the first Omicron Founders’ Day event in at least a decade. Over the past year, Omicron chapter planned a “day of service” event, during which the chapter teamed up with other local organizations to help restore the Black Warrior River Basin, which is one of the largest river systems in the state of Alabama. This summer, the chapter will again host the Journey of Hope South team as it passes through Tuscaloosa. The team will enjoy a barbecue at the chapter house and spend the evening visiting with the chapter. Chapter Advisor Jeff Cull helps arrange the event each year.
Last fall, Zeta Rho received a 5-Star Award by the university—one of the highest honors a chapter can achieve on campus, which recognizes excellence in areas such as philanthropy, recruitment, community outreach, and leadership on campus. The chapter also held its 3rd annual Push America Pageant, which raised $6,000 for Push America. In terms of campus leadership, the chapter holds four positions on the IFC including president, Greek judicial board, secretary and Greek Week co-chair. Five members also hold positions on the university’s Board of Directors. The men of Zeta Rho initiated 19 new members in the fall and have recruited 13 new associate members this spring. Zeta Rho continues to follow the ideals and principles of Pi Kappa Phi as leaders by choice.
Theta Delta chapter hosted several successful events during the spring 2009 semester including its annual Miss Push America Pageant. This event raised more than $2,000 for Push America this year. Theta Delta also collected a total of six awards at FIU’s annual Greek Awards Banquet including Outstanding Alumni Relations, Outstanding Chapter Management, Outstanding Campus Involvement, Outstanding Community Service, Outstanding Philanthropy and Outstanding Member Education. In addition, Brother Vignesh Doraiswamy was recognized as New Member of the Year. Theta Delta continues to excel at FIU as it continues to uphold the traditions and values that makes Pi Kappa Phi great!
