A Foundation for

Honoring Outstanding Band Members: A Foundation for Membership Recruitment & Selection

One of the most common questions that I receive from Brothers is “How do we choose the right members?” We can find guidance on how to answer this question in a few places.

The Second Purpose provides an obvious answer: “To honor outstanding band members through privilege of membership extended as a reward for technical achievement and appreciation for the best in music.” We also have information in the National Constitution:

6.503 A band member may be offered entry into the National Membership Education Program: The Road to Wisdom of the Fraternity after the satisfactory completion of one (1) term as a member of the college or university band unless exception is made by the Chapter Sponsor. The band member shall possess unusually good character and demonstrate leadership potential.

Referenced in the 1924 Baton, our Founders also had thoughts about what to consider when we choose our members: “Kappa Kappa Psi chooses its members after careful consideration – that might be said of any Greek letter organization – but it is not so true as in this Band Fraternity because the band fellows are more closely in touch with each other and individuality has much to do with the success of the organization as well as cooperative effort – for that reason more careful selection is possible to be made and is made. The cardinal requirements for membership are: Musical Ability, Personality, and Scholarship." All of these documents have one key idea in common – that membership in Kappa Kappa Psi should be for the most outstanding band members in the band. Our membership should be selective. Considering this, then our potential members should already possess the qualities that we continue to develop as a member in Kappa Kappa Psi, and the most difficult vote to make as an active member should be the vote cast to extend an invitation for membership. Membership education provides development and direction to the qualities we desire in members of Kappa Kappa Psi that candidates already possess, while teaching candidates about the history and operations of Kappa Kappa Psi.

Thinking about what those qualities might be, the following list provides a starting point for chapters to consider:

Musicianship. Leadership. Service. Brotherhood. Honor. Integrity. Respect. Loyalty. Your chapter may have other qualities to consider, including the values found within our Ritual, but these qualities provide much of the basis of what we desire in our members. In order to fulfill the Second Purpose, we should consider the very best of the band and offer these individuals an opportunity to Strive for the Highest through their musicianship, leadership, and service to their university band program.

Using these qualities as a starting point, create a tool that the chapter can

use to guide their discussion regarding membership selection. This tool can help make conversations more constructive in nature, and allow the chapter to have an agreed upon guide to use when making decisions. Possible tools could include: 1. List of qualities to consider 2. Portrait of a Brother – outline the qualities and characteristics of a Brother of your chapter

3. Membership Selection Rubric or Checklist

4. Standards or Criteria for active members

The key is that the chapter should

come to a consensus on the content of the whatever tool is created, so that the membership selection conversation can be centered on what the chapter is looking for in potential members.

During your membership selection discussion, here are some points to consider:

1. Don’t hold potential members to a higher standard than an active Brother.

o It can be easy to put potential members on a high pedestal, forcing them to meet unrealistic expectations. Come back to the core 3 principals outlined by our founders: musical ability, personality, and scholarship. Part of membership education and post initiate education is further developing the qualities and potential of our members. One of the most critical qualities our potential members should possess should be an attitude of servant leadership – a desire to serve selflessly without recognition or reward. If potential members do not embody or embrace this quality, than Kappa Kappa Psi probably isn’t the organization for them.

2. Qualities can be developed - but it is difficult to change PEOPLE and their habits.

o If someone consistently shows up late to band or is disrespectful to the band director – is that someone that you want as a member of the chapter? Kappa Kappa Psi isn’t a magic tool that will transform someone. We can develop qualities within individuals – but the qualities need to be there in the first place. Kappa Kappa Psi isn’t for everyone – if it was, we would not have a membership education program and initiation process.

3. Our best friends may not make good Brothers.

o This is the hardest. It can be difficult to separate your personal feelings about a potential member. Utilizing a chapter membership selection tool to discuss potential members allows the chapter to have a constructive conversation, rather than an argument that could result in hurt feelings and resentment towards the chapter.

4. Be specific in your feedback.

o The conversation should be about what the chapter wants in potential members vs. what they see potential members say and do. The discussion Spring 2020

should be actionable - “They are great” or “I don’t like them” isn’t a good enough answer. Also, consider what kind of feedback you give those individuals that do not get an invitation for membership. How can your provide feedback to them in such a way that allows that individual to improve and possible be reconsidered for membership in a later semester?

5. Create a safe and inclusive environment for conversations. o As a chapter, create a set of norms prior to membership selection discussion. These are agreed upon rules to have the discussion that creates a safe and supportive environment to have difficult discussions. Examples could include: Listen to understand, Don’t repeat comments, and Respect one another.

6. Membership is an honor and a privilege for the outstanding.

o It is an HONOR to be SELECTED to SERVE. The individuals who are given an invitation for membership should be ones that proudly represent the very best of your band program and university. The decision should be difficult, and take time – you are choosing the future success of your chapter.

Once you have extended your invitations for membership, there may come a moment where a potential candidate is having second thoughts regarding accepting the invitation. Use that opportunity to share your own personal “why” with that individual. Why did you join Kappa Kappa Psi? What motivates you to continue to serve? Why do you give up countless hours of your time to an organization and program that may not be your chosen professional field? Share those moments with that person. We join Kappa Kappa Psi because of people. We are an organization built on people and relationships, advocating for the college band, and building better people that are centered on the 5 attributes of a successful life. That conversation could just be the moment that person says “yes” – which can change their life.

CHRIS HAUGHEE GAMMA NU (ΚΚΨ) FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY November 10, 2019

Christopher Robin Haughee, Brother of Kappa Kappa Psi, who was initiated into the Gamma Nu Chapter at Florida State University on January 17, 1971, passed away on November 10, 2019. Brother Haughee received the Bachelor of Arts in Government from Florida State University and the Juris Doctorate from the School of Law at Florida State University. He was an Honorary member of the Kappa Kappa Psi National Chapter, North Central District, Midwest District, Northeast District, Nu Chapter, and Zeta Chi Chapter, and an Honorary member of the Tau Beta Sigma Alpha Omega chapter. He served as a Colony Advisor or Installation Officer for the Delta Omega, Mu Delta, Lambda Gamma, Lambda Omircon, Lambda Zeta, Theta Theta, and Iota Theta chapters.

Brother Haughee was appointed Southeast District Governor in 1989, served as Southeast District Governor for sixteen years until 2005, and served for four years as a member of the Kappa Kappa Psi Board of Trustees. He drafted a major revision to the National Constitution which was adopted in 1987, served as convention parliamentarian during the 1991, 1995 and 2007 national conventions, and his presentation, Lessons of the Ritual, served as the backbone to the work of the Ritual Performance and Education Committee. The work of the Ritual Performance and Education Committee, of which he was a member, resulted in the development of The Inner Circle, a guide to the performance of our Ritual and education of our members about its meaning and values. For over thirty years Brother Haughee has been a chapter sponsor, district governor, board member, advisor, facilitator, presenter and legal counsel providing advice and direction to countless active and alumni Brothers.

Brother Haughee has been a confidant, mentor, advisor, Brother, and friend to all National Presidents starting in 1977. He received the A. Frank Martin Award from Kappa Kappa Psi in 1991 and was awarded the Fraternity highest recognition, the Distinguished Service to Music Medal for Fraternity Service in 2003.

Christopher Robin Haughee, in recognition of his service and the incredible impact he had throughout his life on Kappa Kappa Psi, our mission, and our values, was honored on December 5, 2019, by the Kappa Kappa Psi National Council as NATIONAL PARLIAMENTARIAN EMERITUS, and a special dedication has been permanently added to The Inner Circle to highlight his contribution to the Performance and Education of our Ritual and Values.

The first time I met Chris Haughee was an intended mistake. It was at my first National Convention, and I was talking to then NED Governor Marie Burleigh about my concerns about a candidate for national office when Chris walked up to talk with Marie. I'd never met Chris, but I knew enough to know he was important, and moved to walk away once I saw him so that the "big people" could talk. Except Marie wouldn't let me. She stopped me and said "tell him what you just told me." I do my best to sputter my way through whatever critique I had and Chris told me I was wrong, which may have been so. Later, Marie told me the reason she had wanted me to stay and tell Chris myself: it was so that, even if he didn't agree with me, he could at least hear what was being said, because, beneath the crusty exterior, Chris was the type to listen.

The last time I ever talked to Chris was during a Ritual rehearsal, and Chris was passionate about the Ritual; if you sat next to him during a Ritual that he thought wasn't being done correctly, you could hear in his breathing his displeasure. And it wasn't because he was just being critical; it was because he cared that the Ritual be presented correctly and well so that its meaning could be made known. So, in that last interaction, while we were rehearsing, he said to me "you have a tendency to trail off with your volume at the end of phrases; make sure you watch for that in the performance." It was a small, but important point because, for Chris, the most important thing was that the Ritual be heard, because, if it could be heard, it could be lived. - Edward Savoy

How do you honor a man who was truly the embodiment of the word Brother?

The first time I met Chris, I was a district president at the 2007 National Convention in Orlando, Florida. He told me to sit down during delegate seating and I remember thinking - who is this cranky old man? (He laughed when I told him that story.)

Over the last 12 years, we have debated, collaborated, and laughed as he mentored me as a national leader. Chris was the foremost authority on the Ritual of Kappa Kappa Psi. He was the person I turned to for constitutional questions. He gave the best - and most honest - advice. If he praised you - you knew he truly meant it, because he was always thoughtful with his words. He was the J. Lee Burke of our generation, and the fraternity will feel his loss in the years to come. I am the leader that I am because of Chris Haughee. He made me better, and I hope to pass on his legacy by sharing his ritual workshop with future generations of Brothers. He was truly the best of us and I will miss him dearly. - Jessica Lee

Chris was a mentor at several points during my KKPsi career. He was my first champion when I was appointed a district governor. As my fellow district governor, he mentored me and helped me learn so many ropes of how to support and challenge a district of students and alumni.

Later in our Fraternity work, Chris joined the University of Michigan's Fraternity and Sorority Life office. Being on campus while I was serving as VPCM and National President was a gift to me. He was there to listen to challenging issues, as well as to bring me soup when I was recovering from surgery. He had a tough exterior, but limitless care for so many people in his life. I felt that care, and that challenge, so often. His approach often helped me consider my own approach.

We were very different in our leadership styles, but Chris, even during this past National Convention, would be first to say "don't get in the way of something that is working." Much of the reason it worked was because of the foundation Chris created. - Malinda Matney

I met Chris Haughee for the first time at Winter Meeting in 2010 when we were both appointed to the Hazing & Values Committee by Brother President Derrick Mills. I was immediately struck by his wisdom and candor, and knew he was someone to learn from as I began my journey on the National Leadership team. I got to know him even better as by chance we shared a lunch at the airport awaiting our flights. Chris was the kind of leader I aspire to be: wise, quiet and with a sense of humor. He didn’t inject himself into proceedings often, but when he did speak up, it was always exactly what needed to be heard at that time. You could tell by the sparkle in his eyes though, that his mind was far from quiet. He was the person in the room everyone turned to when we got stuck, and more often than not, he had the answer. We’re going to miss him as a sage, a friend and a Brother. - Anthony M. Falcone

THE CHRISTOPHER ROBIN HAUGHEE RITUAL PERFORMANCE AND EDUCATION FUND

Thanks to a generous and significant donation, a fund has been created in honor of Brother Christopher Haughee's memory, the Christopher Robin Haughee Ritual Performance and Education Fund. The fund, when endowed, will help support new chapters in purchasing materials for the performance of the Ritual and support our efforts to educate members on the performance and values of our Ritual. Thanks to the generosity and love of donors like this one, future chapters and brothers will have the resources necessary to properly perform our Ritual and understand its deeper meaning. We hope you will join this donor in donating in honor of Brother Haughee and in support of this important cause.

Online donations are available using our giving website: www.kkpsi.org/give-to-kappa-kappa-psi

I first met Chris in 1980, 39 years ago when the University of South Carolina was hosting the Kappa Kappa Psi Southeast District Convention. I was 22 years old, yet I knew he was someone I could learn a lot from. He had a full beard and wearing his trademark jeans and fraternity hat. Sitting in the back of the room, he would call point of order a lot since as students many of us had little knowledge of Robert’s Rules of Order.

Chris was initiated as a Brother of the Gamma Nu Chapter at Florida State University on January 17, 1971 and seven years later I was initiated as a Brother of the Zeta Chi Chapter at the University of South Carolina on May 2, 1978. Both of us starting a long love of college bands and Kappa Kappa Psi.

Our friendship with Chris and Nancy grew over the years not only thru Fraternity but also when South Carolina Football was independent and playing Florida State in 1983, 1984, 1989, we would visit with Chris and Nancy on the Florida State practice field and in their Tallahassee home. I got to know Chris even more when I was elected as National President of Kappa Kappa Psi Fraternity in 1989. One of my first acts was to appoint Chris as a District Governor. The fraternity’s first non-band director District Governor. Chris was my advisor and confidante. I called him many times over those 2 years for his input and advice on a range of fraternity issues at the time – especially membership education, hazing and women in the fraternity. I had an ambitious agenda of programs that I wanted to get approved and Chris was my sounding board and challenged me every step of the way. Chris served at District Governor until 2005, sixteen years, the longest serving governor at the time.

Chris was a student of the fraternity Ritual. He created a Lessons of the Ritual presentation which proved very popular and presented it across the country for many years.

Chris’ service and accomplishment was not just recognized by me but others. Chris received the regional based A. Frank Martin Award from Kappa Kappa Psi and I was honored to be able to help present that award to Chris at the Southeast District Convention in 1991. Chris was also awarded the Fraternity’s highest recognition, the Distinguished Service to Music Medal for Fraternity Service in 2003 at the National Convention in Norfolk, VA and again I was able to help present this award and in my presentation comments I compared Chris to J. Lee Burke, a Past National President in 1926-27 who passed away in 1989. Chris thought I was blaspheming. We consider J. Lee Burke one of the sacred Brothers of Kappa Kappa Psi. I consider Chris Haughee the J. Lee Burke of our time.

When it was time for me to retire from the Kappa Kappa Psi Board of Trustees in 2009, I knew the best person to take my place and help continue to take the fraternity to the next level was Chris. He was elected and made his mark as a board member the next four years.

Chris attended National Conventions of Kappa Kappa Psi starting in 1976 and ending with the 2019 National Convention celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Fraternity. That’s’ over 44 years and 22 National Conventions. I was honored to be with him for 19 of those National Conventions, many times being his roommate where we would often talk til the wee hours of the night ‘solving’ Fraternity issues.

Chris once said that he doesn’t consider himself to be special. Rather he has been lucky. Well he was wrong. He was very special to Kappa Kappa Psi and especially to me, inspiring me to be a better brother in everything I did. I was lucky and fortunate to have him in my life as my advisor, Brother and mostly my friend! I can tell you I will miss him greatly and he will be missed by Brothers all across the nation. - Kenneth Corbett

ZACHARY TAYLOR STODDARD NU ALPHA (ΚΚΨ) GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY January 2, 2020

Zach was the most wholesome, pure, loving, caring, and genuine soul. He touched the lives of so many. He was a warm hug (as we all know), a shoulder to cry on, a sounding board for ideas, and most of all, a brother. He was love, duty, fellowship, and everything that we all strive to become. I never told him enough that I loved him, and I will miss him always. - Brittany Woodruff

Zachary was a shining example of what a brother should be: compassionate, excited, and always a constant pillar of support for those around him. His message of, “love you lots brother. Always have and always will,” would always come at a time where you needed it most to sustain you through life’s arduous passages. He was a true friend and a light among our fraternity. - Katie Lynn Waters

Zach exemplified what it means to be a brother. At SED Convention in 2017 Frank Marzen (then SED President) came to me as Programs Committee chair and charged the committee with creating an award in his honor. I, like many others, had been touched by Zach’s warm heart and friendship and knew that an award like the one that was proposed and passed should be honored to have the name Zachary Stoddard attached to it. His warm messages were constant reminders that love surpasses any struggle. Those messages were just one of the many things that made Zach an exemplary Brother and friend. In Striving for the Highest we should always strive to live like Zach. He will be missed dearly. - Samantha Verdonck

Zach was hands down the kindest person I had ever met. He always made sure you knew he was thinking of you - even if you hadn’t spoken in forever. He never met a stranger. - Cheyenne Skye Keyser

The second time I met Zach I didn’t remember who he was. Still, after only meeting once he gave me a huge smile and hug and sat next to me during an SED workshop where I knew no one. He always made me feel loved and special in a way very few people know how. I was flattered and honored when he asked me to take a picture with him at NatCon and every interaction we had always made my day. - Kassie Cowles

I was initiated at SED in 2015, and I will never forget the love that radiated from Zach for every moment of that experience. He gave me the warmest welcome EVERY time he saw me, from the first moment we met and every time we crossed paths after. He was always there to welcome you with a hug, and he never missed an opportunity to tell you he loved you. He was the kindest, most supportive brother (and honestly person in general) I have ever met. I am so lucky to have known him and been loved by him. - Jamie Radicioni

These are all the pictures I have with Zach. I only got to meet up with him a few times over the handful of years I knew him, either at conventions or during rehearsals as part of a community band called the Atlanta Wind Project. Though even then, it was obvious as to the kind of person he was. He loved band, and he loved people. And he would always make it a point to let you know that he loved you too. We lost someone who truly embodied the values of Kappa Kappa Psi. It's hard to hear that he's gone. Valeus, Frater. You will be missed, and your memory will be cherished by us all. AEA. - Jonathan Michael Swann

I just moved to Georgia in 2006. I was a New York girl, so everything in the south was a whole new world for me. I didn't know anyone or anything. Because of this,coming in as a brand new senior, it was hard to make friends. Circles were already established. People had known each other for years. I was just the weird one out, with my old slang and such-I felt like I couldn't fit in anywhere.

When I first met Zach, we were actually passing each other in the hallway. I think I was on my way to band. I was wearing some tshirt of a show that I didn't think ANYBODY watched, but lo and behold, he paused me, and was like, "Oh!!! That's so-and-so from _____, oh hey!! You're the new girl!! Welcome!!"

And just like that, it was so easy. Zachary never made me feel left out. We could talk about anything. After talking to him maybe 3 times, I felt like I'd known him all of my life. We shared many of the same quirks, and of course, band brought us together. It didn't matter that technically, woodwinds and brass aren't supposed to get along, but we did. He was so kind, and just so open. I felt so at peace whenever we spoke, and he was always excited about something. He literally lit up the room every time he walked in, and his concern for his fellow man was always so genuine.

Even after we all graduated, he kept in touch. Messages on facebook, comments here and there, always checking on someone's mental health and how they were dealing with the struggles in life-and his dance moves. His dancing was legendary. I'm rambling here, but I never got the chance to say thank you. He was my friend. You will never be forgotten, ZachAttack. Prayers to the family. Thank you. - Jileesha Shamiqua Campbell

Zachary was the absolute sweetest and most genuine brother I have ever came across knowing. Although we never actually got a chance to meet in person he immediately added me on social media once I joined the Kappa Kappa Psi chapter and their page. He never failed to check up on me or any other brother and never failed to send a positive message on our birthdays. When my grandmother passed he was the first person to check up on me and my mental health. I will forever miss your wonderful and day brightening posts. He will be missed and I will miss his vibe and overall love for life. AEA my dear brother, rest in paradise. Love you lots and may God always bless you. - Joahna Lamboy

PODIUM & BATON INDEXING PROJECT

The Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma history and archives teams are excited to announce a project to index the joint publication of our organizations, The Podium. The Baton is the early year’s publication for Kappa Kappa Psi and is included in this indexing project.

The history of our organizations comes alive when you look back at older editions of the publications. As part of the process to document the history of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, we are embarking on this project now so that by 2019 we will be in the position to provide a documented history of our organizations.

If you would like to assist in this project, please contact Aaron Moore at hqacc@kkytbs.org. You will be able to do this indexing on your on time and schedule.

You will be asked what edition of the Podium or Baton you would like to index (possibly the years you were an active member). We will send you that edition as a PDF document, along with an Excel file to document the issue, instructions, and an example issue.

Thank you for supporting Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma. We hope you will see the value in this project and commit to indexing one or more issues.
