Spring semester was "conclave season"for the Fraternity with seven area meetingsbefit held for chapters of Pi Kappa Phi. Atotal of about 1,050 students and 116 chap-ters and colonies attended the conclaves.

The conclaves are hosted annually bydifferent chapters within each "area" of theFraternity. By far the largest of the 1989 con-claves was held in Atlanta, Ga., for threeareas - the first "combination conclave" inthe history of Pi Kappa Phi.

Area governors Arthur Quickenton,Ronald deValinger and Frank Havard, ofAreas II, III and V, respectively, polled theirchapters at Pi Kapp College and selectedAtlanta as the site.

Super Regional Conclave was held atthe Omni Hotel the weekend of Feb. 3-5.More chapters from Area II, 20 of 23, thanever before attended this year's conclave.Area III had 18 of 20, and Area V had 13 of15 chapters in attendance. The total chapterspresent were 51 with about 450 studentsattending. In fact, more Pi Kapps attendedSuper Regional Conclave than Pi KappCollege.

"I thoroughly enjoyed it," deValingersaid. "It was a pleasure working with Art andFrank, and it was nice to get all the chaptersin the Southeast together. We hope to do itagain next year."

The PUSH Board of Directors recentlynamed Ken Kaiier executive director ofPeople Understanding the Severely Handi-capped, clearing the way for new and excit-ing opportunities for Pi Kappa Phi's nationalservice project.

Kaiser, formerly the assistant directorof PUSH and a Pi Kappa Phi leadershipconsultant, has made great strides in accom-

plishing one of hisgoals in his new posi-tion. Kaiser's "realign-ment of PUSH and PiKappa Phi" began withthe inception of thePUSH Academy Lead-ership Institute, a na-tional leadership con-ference for PUSHchairmen. The institutecoincided with the Mid-Year LeadershipConferences in January.

Other projects have included the crea-tion of the Collegiate Advisory Council, anadvisory board of undergraduate chapterrepresentatives; greater emphasis on inte-gration of PUSH into chapter operations;and the new Partnership Grant Program,which will bring placements to a greaternumber of chapters by allowing for the fund-ing of new programs and equipment at facili-ties with needs other than the traditionalPUSH units.

VallIEVISSUESBriefly...

Ad hoc committeeto study alternativesto 'traditional' pledging

An ad hoc committee has beenappointed by the National Council ofPi Kappa Phi to study the traditionalpledge concept and alternatives to it.

The committee's appointmentfollows the Fraternity ExecutivesAssociation's endorsement of theabolition of pledging and is in accor-dance with the National InterfraternityConference's directive to memberI raternities to study the issue.

The task force is made up ofalumni members Gary Leonard, Dr.Patrick Figley, and Scott Evenbeck.

•Colonizations are scheduled this

semester at the University of Wash-ington, Alpha Delta reactivation;Indiana University-Purdue Universityat Indianapolis; Albright College;North Carolina Wesleyan; Universityof Maryland; Queens College; andAtlantic Christian College.

•Fraternity Insurance Purchasing

Group, Inc. membership is up to 27.Six national fraternities have joinedwithin the last three months: AlphaGamma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Phi,Beta Theta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, PhiKappa Sigma and Tau Kappa Epsilon.FIPG President Durward Owenestimates that 60 percent of allfraternity chapters and undergraduatesare now subject to the group's riskmanagement policy.

•Alumni yearning to don the ritual

robes once again and participate in achapter initiation should contact Dr.Patrick Figley, Peninsular CounselingCenter, 2819 Horatio Street, Tampa,Fla. 33609. Figley has formed an all-alumni initiation team, which recentlyheld initiations for Chi Chapter-Stetson University and Zeta EtaChapter-University of South Florida.Figley is an initiate of Chi and servesZeta Eta as chapter advisor.

•A University of Florida life

Carr wasan internationally-celebrated conserva-tionist and early leader of the environ-mental movement in Florida. Carr wason the UF faculty from 1937 till hisdeath in 1987. He transferred as anundergraduate from Davidson toFlorida where he was active in AlphaEpsilon Chapter.

•Four new chapter advisors have

been appointed by the NationalPresident of Pi Kappa Phi. They areSteven L.

Fraternity values: 'And the greatest of these is love'This constitutes the fifth and last in a

series of articles which for the past 1 1/2years have tried to elucidate something aboutfraternity values. Probably many of youreading this article don't rememberor weren'taround when the series began.

The preceding four articles have by nomeans exhausted the issues they have raised.But I do hope that they have served to pro-voke some discussion individually and cor-porately about the values which must act asa foundation for our Fraternity.

Through these conversations, I hope atleast it has become clear that residing withinthese values is our mission, our goals, and, inthe end, our identity. We are not talkingabout some preaching morality or a pie-in-the-sky set of unreachable "ideals." Ratherwe are talking about our very reason forbeing, about why we were founded, and whywe should continue to exist.

Without a firm and continual groundingon this underpining of values, we becomewhat our detractors are quick to describe: aself-serving pack of hedonists.

I've used as a basis for these five articlesfive principles which were enumerated bythe National Interfraternity Conference'sCommission on Values and Ethnics. Theyare: loyalty, morality, responsibility, com-mitment, and love.

At first, they seemed noble enough, butwhy are these specified as fraternity values?The task was to get them out of the ether, andbring them down to earth where they can befelt, touched, smelled, and, most of all, talkedabout in the fraternity context.

I have saved the most important word:love, for last, There is no question it is themost difficult word to talk about; but what isbehind the word is what's behind the fourpreceeding words. It is the "motivation" tobe responsible or committed or moral or

Fraternity is every bit as deep as the wordlove.., a group of brothers who are strongenough to care because we are big enoughto let love be the basis of our brotherhood.

loyal. One of the problems with the word"love" is how much it has been damaged bycliched overuse of an enormous magnitude.With every melancholy teen-idol movie scriptor every twangy country and western ballad,the word love retreats further into fuzzyconfusion.

Partly because of all the misuse of theword love, it probably seems strangely out ofplace to many in a discussion of fraternity. Ican hear many of you almost recoil at themere mention of the word. We are, after all,a fraternal organization. We are men, weplay football, we go cruising, we try to keepour cool, we do manly things. What's this"love" stuff?

First of all, let me define the word aswhat it is not. Love in the context of frater-nity is not romantic love. While real lovebetween the sexes is of utmost importance tolife, my own and probably most of yours, itis but a subset of the kind of love talked aboutfor Christians in the Bible, for Muslins in theKoran, in the Upanishads for the Hindus.

In all these religions, love is the basicmedium of positive interaction betweenhumans and the world. It is divine in nature,i.e., God given, and on some level, accountsfor all admirable human action.

It is what binds us together in spite ofnear unfathomable diversity. It is what over-comes (if we let it) the tragedy of being

human: that we hurt each other, that we areunkind to each other, that we even kill eachother.

It is the motivation for the truly great art,engineering, and indeed all great humanendeavors. It is what's left when you havethe courage to close your eyes and feel thebond with one's parents, spouse, or bestfriend. It is ultimately what enables us to cutthrough all our tedious differences and con-nect with another human being - someone wemight call a brother.

When I imagine how we began as afraternity an image emerges of Fogarty, Kroegand Mixson as three young men who shareda desire for brotherhood, expressed that toothers, and eventually fashioned a structurefor it to live in and be propagated. At itsdeepest, what was ultimately shared waslove. When we think of responsibility,commitment, loyalty, brotherhood, they areactually articulations or actions which flowout of love.

If these series of articles has done noth-ing else, I hope it has established that frater-nity at its best, the fraternity that we shouldaspire to, is every bit as deep as the wordlove. Fraternity should - and I mean thejudgmental tone here - fraternity should be agroup of brothers who are strong enough tocare because we are big enough to let love bethe basis of our brotherhood.

Alumni support needed to upholdfraternity's risk management policy

Continued from page I purchased by "any of the host student chap-ters, groups or organizations."• Prohibit the use of alcohol at associate

member/pledge functions.Another proposed Supreme Law change

related to the fraternity's insurance policy,but not necessary under FIPG's current riskmanagement policy, is mandatory insurancefor all chapters.

The proposal would require all chaptersto acquire liability insurance through theNational Fraternity's policy; the costs wouldbe charged to chapters on a per capita basis.It is expected that FIPG will soon incorpo-rate this requirement into its risk manage-ment policy.

While these proposals may spark con-troversy at the 42nd Supreme Chapter, stu-dents this year have been very cooperative inabiding by Pi Kappa Phi's risk managementpolicy, said Executive Director Durward

Council's action in adopting the policy by in-corporating several key points of the policyinto Supreme Law.

Because the Supreme Chapter meetsonly once every two years, the NationalCouncil has the authority to act in theFraternity's interest between Supreme Chap-ters. It was necessary for the National Coun-cil to adopt the purchasing group's riskmanagement policy to guarantee that theFraternity continue to be able to purchase lia-bility insurance. Without FIPG membership,insurance premiums would not be afford-able.

The following additions to Supreme Laware necessary to bring it in line with theFraternity's current risk management policyunder FIPG:• Appoint the social chairman to be the

chapter's "risk management specialist." FIPGpolicy mandates that each chapter have aperson designated to act in this capacity. TheNational Council resolved last June that thesocial chairman be that person.• Ban the purchase of alcoholic bever-

ages through the chapter treasury or suchpurchases "undertaken or coordinated byany student member in the name of or onbehalf of the student chapter."• Forbid the co-sponsorship of events

"with an alcoholic distributor, charitableorganization or tavern ... where alcohol isgiven away, sold or otherwise provided tothose present," and also co-sponsorship orfinancing of functions in which alcohol is

Owen."I think students have begun to realize

that in today's world fraternity membersmust act responsibly. Society is no longertolerant of alcohol abuse, hazing and daterape - and it shouldn't be," Owen said.

He said one surprising twist to theadoption of the policy has been resistancefrom alumni. In some chapters, alumnihave been the ones unwilling to changeoutdated traditions, even though the stu-dents realize the need for change.

"Alumni members have got to realizethat students are operating under a differ-ent set of circumstances than when manyof us were undergraduates," he said."Alumni who continue to perpetuate theattitude that hazing and underage drink-ing are a normal, even expected, part offraternity life are risking their chapters'existence."

Strategic plan to be voted on at conventionA committee of about 15 alumni

members of Pi Kappa Phi, with the inputof nearly 100 others, has been workingon the creation of a long-range strategicplan for the Fraternity.

After months of evaluating the 1988-89 strategic plan, alumni and under-graduate members were asked to docu-ment their suggestions for a more com-prehensive, long-term plan that wouldincorporate the diverse subsidiaries ofPi Kappa Phi into one mission.

Their work culminated in the for-mation of a strategic planning commit-tee, made up of National Council mem-bers, committee chairmen and otheralumni volunteers, under the chairman-ship of Mike O'Donnell.

The committee met at the Adminis-trative Office in March and came upwith a rough draft of the new plan. Theresults of the committee's work will bepresented to the Supreme Chaptermeeting in Washington, D.C., Aug. 5-9.

Area I breaks its own records

The 1989 Area I Conclave, heldJan. 27-28, was one of the most successful conclavesever held in Area I with new records beingset for attendance.

In attendance were 194 Pi Kapps - a newrecord for Area I - for an average of over 11men per chapter. That broke Area I's previ-ous record of 132 set last year. Alpha Tau-Rennsselaer Polytechnic Institute won theaward for the highest percentage in atten-dance. They arrived with 23 of 45 members.

Other chapters with high attendance wereZeta Kappa-Stockton State University andEpsilon Psi-Slippery Rock University, eachwith 23 attending. Epsilon Theta-Seton HallUniversity had nearly 50 percent of itsmembers in attendance.

Although there are only 16 chapters inArea I, 17 were represented because AlphaRho Chapter-West Virginia University at-tended the conclave.

Alpha Mu-Pennsylvania State Univer-sity was host chapter. "I would like to thankCasey Moore, conclave chairman, Eric Soller,archon, and the brothers of Alpha Mu Chap-ter," said Area I Governor James Krucher,noting Beta Alpha Chapter-New Jersey In-stitute of Technology had the most alumnipresent.

Alpha Tau in New York and Zeta Kappanear Atlantic City have asked to host theArea I Conclave in 1990. A final date andplace will be selected at the Supreme Chap-ter in August. Other chapters interested inhosting the conclave should contact Krucherat 3 Burgh Avenue, Clifton, N.J. 07011.

Area IV holds 'snowy' conclave

For most people, a February weekendgetaway in Ann Arbor, Mich. doesn't soundlike a lot of fun. But despite the cold and

snow, the trip to the Area IV Conclave at the

University of Michigan proved to be enjoy-

able for Pi Kapps from all over the Midwest.Almost 80 Pi Kapps were on hand for

the conclave, representing nine of 12 areachapters. Alpha Kappa hosted the event,held Feb. 10-11.

Three staff members for People Under-standing the Severely Handicapped were inattendance, Executive Director Ken Kaiser,Director of Communications T.J. Sullivanand PUSH America Project Director JimKarlovec. All three come from chapters inArea IV.

Area IV chapter advisors played a sig-nificant role in the conference with the hostchapter's Carl Koch leading a session onrecruitment, Beta Gamma-University ofLouisville's Jerry Ford discussing leader-ship, and Alpha Psi-University of Indiana'sSteve Sanders facilitating a member educa-tion round table.

Other speakers included National Treas-urer Dr. Phillip Summers on singing andpublic relations, Leadership Consultant DeanDivis on risk management, and Area IVGovernor Mark Jacobs on hazing and mem-ber education.

Area VI meets at new AO house

Over 100 undergraduate members fromeight of the nine chapters in Area VI de-scended on Ames, Iowa for the Feb. 11-13conclave - a weekend of brotherhood, social-izing and sharing of experiences.

Eleven members of the newest associatechapter, Colorado State University, traveledover 700 miles from Fort Collins to attend.The colony is the only Pi Kapp group in AreaVIII; therefore, it attended the Area VIConclave. Zeta Gamma-University of NorthDakota also traveled a great distance to par-ticipate in the annual regional leadershipconference.

As the participants arrived on Fridayevening, they were treated to a tour of thenewly-completed, 72-man fraternity houseof Alpha Omicron Chapter-Iowa State Uni-

versity.Dr. Frank M. Parrish, acting area gover-

nor, opened the conclave with a goal-setting

exercize. Jeff Caufaude, ISU's new Greek

affairs coordinator, presented a video tape ofa national television program that portrayedthe typical negative stereotypes of fraternitymembers. His concluding advise to the un-dergraduates was, "Don't do stupid things!"

Brian Leckrone, Alpha Omicron's live-in graduate advisor, led a discussion of thequestions being raised about the role of theassociate member in the fraternity.

The conclave concluded with many ofthe participants attending an ISU hockeygame.

Area VII converges on Texas capital

Area VII Conclave was hosted by ZetaTheta Chapter-University of Texas-Austin.Attendees enjoyed a schedule of excellentspeakers and topics as well as early "spring-time" weather in the Texas capital on Feb. 24-26.

Over 85 students, representing eight ofnine chapters in Area VII, attended this year'sconclave program. On Friday, attendees weregreeted at the Zeta Theta chapter house in a"Welcome to Austin" kickoff party.

alumni antErDaniel DreisbachHe's an Oxford graduate, an attorney and the author of a new book

He's not your "typical" lawyer. Daniel Dreisbach is a

Rhodes scholar who studied at Oxford University before

entering law school. Considered an expert in church-state re-

lations, his interest in that aspect of law stems from his

childhood experiences with African tribes and his mission-

ary parents.Dreisbach, a Pi Kapp alumnus from the University of

South Carolina-Spartanburg, graduated last May from the

University of Virginia Law School and is currently serving

a one-year judicial clerkship with a federal court judge in

South Carolina. He entered law school "fresh" from earning

his doctorate in politics from Oxford.

The focus of so much of Dreisbach's work and life has

been religion, and it's easy to understand why. The son of

American medical missionaries, he was born in Nigeria and

raised among impoverished African tribes. This early expe-

rience ultimately found shape in the crux of his studies and

work: church-state relations.

"My parents were deeply religious," he says, "and in the

context of my parents' work, one could see the tensions

between various religious groups." Observing this conflict

helped make Dreisbach aware of a similar conflict,. that

between church and state.He has recently authored a book on the subject, Real

Threat and Mere Shadow: Religious Liberty and the First

Amendment. The critically acclaimed book addresses reli-

gious freedom and church-state relations.

Dreisbach has been called "a leading authority" on the

historical origins of the First Amendment religion clauses.

The book has been controversial in its examination of these

origins. Dreisbach contends that the Supreme Court's inter-

pretation of historical facts surrounding the drafting of the

Constitution "erected an extraconstitutional wall of sepera-

tion between church and state."

"The basic premise of my book is that if the Supreme

Court based seperation of church and state on history and

history is wrong, we need to reexamine the laws," he said.

"I think there are different kinds of church-state sepera-

tion. I don't like the idea of a school board prescribing

prayers for forced participation. On the other hand, I was

involved in a case where the validictorian of a school wanted

to refer to her religious beliefs in her graduation speech and

was told she couldn't. I believe that the stripping of public life

of all religion is a dangerous practice."

Upon completion of his clerkship, Dreisbach plans to

follow his convictions to Manassas, Va. to work as a full-time

attorney for the Rutherford Institute. The institute is a non-

profit, public interest legal and educational foundation, spe-

cializing in the defense of civil and religious liberties. "To

me, it's a good mix of opportunities because they're involved

in litigation as well as educational functions," Dreisbach

said, noting that he's worked for the institute before.

As a clerk for Judge Robert F. Chapman with the U.S.

foto His resume reads like the imaginative

outline for an adventure novel. He has

traveled with pilgrims to the medieval Greek

Orthodox monasteries on the "sacred" and

sequestered slopes of Mount Athos in

northern Greece, marched alongside the

Holy Week Processions in Granada, Spain,

traversed the Sahara Desert with the camel

caravans of Islamic nomads and witnessed

the animalistic rituals of West African

medicine men as they sought to exorcise the

spirits of the dead.- Excerpt from the Virginia Law Weekly

Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Dreis-

bach researches cases up for review. "Working

on the Court of Appeals is an academic pursuit,"

he says, "sort of an ivory-tower type of experience."

A founding father of the now-dormant Epsilon

Lambda Chapter, Dreisbach received his bachelor's

degree in government and international studies from

USCS in 1981. In his senior year there he was

awarded a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship - the first

from the University of South Carolina system in half

a century. The next fall he enrolled at the Lady

Margaret Hall college of Oxford University.

"The University, in essence, is a loose and anar-

chic federation of 35 autononious colleges," Dreis-

bach writes in an article for On Target. "Each college

is a self-governing academic and social community....

Every student is, first, a member of a college and, then,

a member of the University. The collegiate system Dreisbach in

combines the advantages of membership in a large, prestig-

ious university with the intimacy characteristic of a small

college."He was Oxford basketball team's starting guard and was

able to travel all over Europe as a result; although, Dreisbach

jokes, "playing varsity basketball at Oxford is about as

noteworthy as playing varsity cricket at Spartanburg."

Oxford students are tutored on a one-on-one basis in

weekly or bi-weekly sessions that last one or two hours, in

which a one- to two-thousand word essay is read and dis-

cussed, accompained by a suggested reading list "usually

longer than a Christmas wish list." One's final grade is based

on a written, and sometimes oral, series of comprehensive

exams that can last up to weeks.

Dreisbach recalls: "The culmination of my Oxford years,

in August 1985, was the oral defense of my dissertation. For

three hours my examiners, erudite scholars far more knowl-

edgeable in my subject than I, probed my 500-page thesis for

weaknesses and flaws."The examiners and I sat on hard wooden benches, in the

Member Recommendation Form

For a quarter you can help give a young man a lifetime experience

- and make your fraternity stronger.

A valuable source of new undergraduate members of Pi Kappa Phi comes from alumni recommending young

men for membership. An alumni recommendation may be a son, a neighbor, a colleague's son, or any young man that

is entering college this fall or has recently entered college.

Upon receiving a member recommendation from an alumnus, the Administrative Office writes a letter to the

chapter at the young man's college or university requesting the chapter to contact the person recommended. The chapter

also is requested to inform both the Administrative Office and the alumnus of the outcome of this contact.

If you know of someone you would like to recommend for membership in Pi Kappa Phi, please fill in as much

of the following information as you are able:

of law school. His second book, on politically active Chris-

tians in comtemporary American life, is in manuscript form

and also has been accepted for publication by Oxford Press.

While enrolled at USCS, Dreisbach was honored by a

South Carolina congressman with a bill in the legislature

applauding his efforts as a drought relief volunteer in West

Africa. He has also spent time in the Sahara Desert, living in

an adobe with no running water or electricity. His father, an

expert on leprosy, had insisted that the family live as close to

the indigenous people as possible.

Dreisbach grew up in Africa with the girl who would

later become his wife, Joyce. Her parents were missionaries

too.

Pi Kappa Phi FoundationWills and Bequests

ThepiKeppe Phi Foundation offers alumnimany different ways to give to help keep

Pi Kapp strong. One of these ways is

through the wills and bequests program.

If you don't have a will in many states thegovernment will absorb your estate. You cangive to the Foundation through making it abeneficiary of your will. You can even name

the Foundation as a 'contingent' beneficiary.

That means the Foundation will receive other

funds if one or more of your heirs don'tsurvive you.

Recent bequests to the Pi Kappa Phi

Foundation were received from the estate of

Steven Thatcher of Beta Xi, Central

Michigan; and the will of Ladd Prucha of

Upsilon, Illinois. Other contributions include

gifts in honor of Art Quickenton of Delta

chaptEr spotlightPi Kappa Phi chartersfour more campusesZeta-Wofford

The Zeta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, oneof the Fraternity's oldest chapters, was re-cently rechartered on the campus of WoffordCollege in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The chapter's original charter was sus-pended in 1987, at the request of Zeta alumnimembers. Weak leadership and organizationhad resulted in a gradual membership de-cline which left the chapter uncompetitive.

The Administrative Office sent Jeff Mi-chael to solicit interest in restarting ZetaChapter last spring. The initial recruits cameprimarily from varsity sports teams, so themen already shared a friendship and a desireto perpetuate and deepen their friendship.

Following a successful fall rush, thegroup of 50 was gradually pared down to 34genuinely dedicated men, plus three mem-bers from the chapter before reorganization.

On Feb. 6, the men took their writtennational test and then spent the night togetherat the house, working out new goals, sincethe primary goal of "winning back the char-ter" was about to be realized. And indeed, onFeb. 7, after an oral exam, the men wereinitiated as brothers of Pi Kappa Phi.

Beta Chapter-Presbyterian College,Delta Chapter-Furman University, and SigmaChapter-University of South Carolina-Co-lumbia performed the initiation at First Pres-byterian Church.

Pi Kappa Phi officials in attendancewere National Secretary Jerry Brewer, As-sistant Executive Director Glenn Dickson,and Leadership Consultant Bill Maycockand Michael.

"I feel honored to have helped these'guys from the beginning (of the reorganiza-tion) to brotherhood," Michael said.

The following evening, Executive Di-rector Durward Owen was the head speakerat a banquet for the new initiates. ConnieSnipes and Jim Switzer, two alumni whosehelp was fundamental in guiding the neo-phytes to brotherhood, were both honored atthe banquet.

"The best thing about rechartering isthat no one believed it could be done," saidAnthony Wise, one of the three remainingoriginal brothers. "We couldn't have done itwithout the support of our national office,our alumni and the Wofford College com-munity."

Beta Epsilon-MissouriIn the fall of 1987, 15 young men were

chosen to restart on old organization. Theywere "in the dark" as to what lay ahead. Theygroped along the uncertain tunnel as theybumped into misfortunes and were reassuredby their triumphs. Soon, they accumulatednew members and new ideas. They began tobelieve they could be the best fraternity on anhistoric campus. Finally, they crossed overinto a new dimension.

They were the 53 chartering members ofthe newly-reorganized Beta Epsilon Chap-ter-University of Missouri-Columbia. All thehardships ended with the chartering banquetat the Capitol City Plaza in Jefferson City,Mo., held Feb. 25.

During the black-tie affair, charteringofficers Clay Edmonds and John Andrews,and Assistant Executive Director GlennDickson presented the charter to ArchonChris Wilson. Edmonds, of Epsilon Sigma-Christian Brothers, is a chapter advisor andnational committee chairman for Expansion.Andrews is governor of Area VI. LeadershipConsultant Rob Sheets organized the ritual.

Gamma Lambda Chapter-University ofMissouri-Rolla and Epsilon Mu Chapter-Bradley University performed the ritual andgave the new members a sound foundation tostart its own rituals.

Beta Epsilon is proud to be a part of theUniversity of Missouri. This year, "Mizzou"celebrates its 150th birthday - it is the firstland-grant university west of the MississippiRiver. Beta Epsilon will be the only chapteron campus to charter during this sesquicen-tennial year.

The chapter has chartered and rechar-tered many times since it first became achapter in 1949. This year marks the 40thanniversary of Beta Epsilon. It also marks arenewed vigor and pride found in every newmember who has pledged himself to excel-lence.

During the rechartering process, thechapter regained its house. Since then, thehouse has undergone many improvements;renovated bathrooms, repainted walls, a re-furnished stairway and a deck are just a fewof the initial projects the members havecompleted. The chapter will paint the outsidethis summer and eventually will build atelevision room and more bedrooms in thebasement.

Many feared Beta Epsilon would suffer"post-chartering blues." However, the chap-ter rebounded by participating in Greek Weekwith Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority. During theweek of April 2-9, Beta Epsilon presented itsversion of Peter Pan, complete with acting,singing and dancing. The event provided thechapter with positive publicity.

The chapter hopes to pledge 20 newassociates during formal rush, and BetaEpsilon members place PUSH high on theirlist of priorities. The local Pizza Hut hasbecome a sponsor for the chapter's "PUSHOlympics," to be held in the fall of 1989. Thechapter hopes to raise $15,000 during thisevent.

Beta Epsilon Chapter has exited the"dark tunnel" they traveled for 15 months.All they can see now is a bright light thatguides them every day, that light being broth-erhood.

Zeta Mu-NorthridgeCalifornia State University at Northridge

(CSUN), one of the largest of the CaliforniaState University campuses, is home of one ofPi Kappa Phi's newest chapters, Zeta Mu.

Before Pi Kappa Phi came onto CSUN'scampus, 16 fraternities and eight sororitiesprovided Greek life for nearly 1,500 stu-dents. Three years had passed since a frater-nity had been chartered on campus.

Early in the spring semester of 1988,Paul Green, who was Director of WesternExpansion for the Administrative Office,interviewed over 300 prospective foundingfathers and selected 25 associate members tobuild a strong foundation for the Fraternity'snewest colony.

Within a month the colony had grown toa size of 33 associate members and suddenlythe gold and white Greek letters were all overcampus. The group began paving the way forthe future of Zeta Mu by setting three imme-diate goals: recruit new members, obtain afraternity house, and meet Pi Kappa Phi'sminimum standards of operation and strictchartering requirements.

The members spent the next few weeksgetting to know each other and preparing forrush. That fall the chapter pledged 22 new as-sociate members, one of the largest classes atCSUN.

A house was leased for the fraternity byfour members of the colony. This house wasno ordinary fraternity house at CSUN. It wassoon to be known as the "Pi Kapp Estate."Situated on nearly one and one-half acres ofland, this California ranch style house hasprovided the location for many social events,including exchanges with two of the topsororities.

The chartering weekend began whenWest Coast Coordinator Keith Rundle andGreen arrived on Thursday, Jan. 19. The 55associate members were given written ex-aminations that evening. The next day a

four-hour oral examination was given bychartering officers Gunner Schalin and BobLangbien.

After successful completion of theseexaminations, the dedicated men realizedthat they had finally accomplished their threeimmediate goals. The 55 associate membersand two alumni candidates were now readyto be initiated as brothers of Pi Kappa PhiFraternity.

L ambdaChapter-Univer-sity of Georgiaformally dedi-cated its newchapter houseApril 29, culmi-nating years ofplanning andhard work.

During thepast 70-plusyears sinceLambda's char-tering, the chap-ter has beenhoused in at leastsix differentstructures. Thethird structurewas a gracioussouthern mansion on Prince Avenue. Thishouse was occupied by the chapter until thelate 1950s.

Several other Greek organizations hadhouses in that area of Prince Avenue, but bythis time many were moving to areas closerto campus, notably Milledge Avenue. ThePrince Avenue house was sold and subse-quently demolished. The chapter firstmoved to a small house on Milledge, andthen in 1962 to the present site at 930 S.Milledge. The house was occupied until1986 when it was demolished to make wayfor the new house which opened in Septem-ber 1988.

The construction and fund-raisingprocess for Lambda has been an extremelylong one. For over 20 years the need for anew house was discussed, but no progress

Lambda finally moves in!was made. The existing structure was in-adequate in size and was becoming ex-tremely costly to maintain. Restoring thehouse was not an option as the size andsleeping capacity would not have beenincreased. A near crisis occurred in 1981 asthe chapter's membership shrank signifi-cantly. Thankfully, the chapter reboundedin the 1981-82 school year and continued togrow steadily. In 1984 talk of a new struc-ture began to coalesce into a reality. Fund-raising was begun, and by Spring of 1986architectural plans had been drawn.

When the existing house was demol-ished in September 1986, the chapter suc-cessfully rushed in a large tent on the lawn.Some months later a contractor was se-lected, and tentative financing was arranged.It was at this point that the bottom fell out

as that financingwas lost. Thechapter was nowentering its sec-ond non-housedyear, and spiritswere low. Newhousing corpo-ration leader-ship, FrankLane, LeroyLangston, Wal-ter Pickens andMarty Jones,took over andput the projectback on track.New financingwas arranged,and constructionfinally began inJanuary of 1988.The architec-

ture is of themost durable "dormitory" variety. The mostnotable of these features are the cinder-block interior walls and the steel super-structure of the house. This type of con-struction proceeds slowly, and delays arefrequent. The house has eight bedrooms,with separate baths, that sleep three to fourmen each. The lower level has a large openmeeting/dining area, a TV lounge, a formal"trophy room," kitchen, and rest rooms.The red brick exterior and large columnedporch give the house a classic Greek re-vival appearance. While this look is almostthe norm at UGA, the Pi Kappa Phi houseis most commanding in its setting, scale,height and detail.

The process of constructing a frater-nity house is difficult, not always pleasant;but the end result makes it all worthwhile.

Campaign for Omega seeks to pay for fire damageOn June 17, 1987, the alumni members

of Omega Chapter-Purdue University re-ceived the devastating news that their chap-ter house had been destroyed by fire two daysearlier. While being grateful that none of theeight persons living in the house that summerwere injured, memories of life at 330 N.Grant Street were in the minds of many, if notmost, of the members.

The housing corporation, headed byChapter Advisor Pat Kuhnle, began animmediate successful search for substitutehousing and arrangements were made toprotect from further damage what was left ofthe house. Negotiations with the insurancecarriers were prolonged and an equitablesettlement was reached only after an adjusterwas hired to represent the house.

Months after the fire, the first attempt toinvolve the alumni members in the cost ofreconstruction was undertaken. By letter itwas suggested that if 400, or half of theidentifiable alumni, would contribute $1,000each, reconstruction of the house could becompleted with a manageable mortgage.

The house could not be reconstructed asit was before the fire because it no longer metexisting building codes, making the insur-ance settlement insufficient to cover the costs.The need to add two exterior stairways toreplace a center staircase and fire escapeoffered an opportunity to expand the capac-ity of the house by enclosing the areas be-tween the stairs.

The total cost of the project was esti-mated at about $950,000 with approximately

$3.5 million as the replacement cost;$200,000 already determined to be needed tomeet the building code and make some reno-vations and approximately $400,000 forexpansion. Insurance was to cover the re-placement cost, while fund-raising and anew mortgage would cover the remainder.

Unfortunately, the alumni did not re-spond as anticipated. A successful campaigndepends on generous support from a rela-

The Omega Chapter-Purdue University house after renovationstively small number of dedicated members.In fund-raising "average gift" campaignsgenerally are unsuccessful.

With construction nearing completion,it was decided in August 1988 - a year afterthe fire - to undertake a more organizedcapital campaign. David Lane, a 1968 initi-ate and former archon, accepted the positionof national campaign director and appointedHerbert Meyer, a 1925 initiate and long-timeadvisor to the chapter, and Paul Swafford,'25 as honorary cochairmen. The latter twowere recognizable leaders because of theirdevotion to the Fraternity over the years, andLane had served both the local chapter andthe National Fraternity.

The campaign was planned as a per-sonal, peer-group solicitation effort. Decadechairmen or cochairmen were recruited andeach was responsible for the selection ofinitiation class chairmen. Prior to the kickoff

in October, several major gift prospects weresolicited and two cultivation mailings weresent to all members.

Brothers were to be given the option ofa single gift, but were to be encouraged toconsider a more significant three-year pledge.Opportunities were available to name indi-vidual rooms, and gift clubs were organized.

Making the fund-raising more difficultwas the fact that many alumni had not up-dated their addresses with the Administra-tive Office or Purdue University in years.

Another difficulty was that the officialkickoff of the Campaign occurred 15 monthsafter the fire, rather than immediately there-after. By that time the shock had worn off andthe need to give appeared less pressing sincethe house was now back in operation.

A third complication resulted from thefact that several individuals capable of pro-viding major gift support felt they had done

their part when they responded with $1,000gifts to the earlier solicitation.

Now, just six months after the kickoffevent, nearly $300,000 has been pledgedfrom less that 40 percent of the alumni. It isanticipated that the goal will be reached priorto Homecoming '89. A special event isplanned for that day so that those who madethe renovation possible can return to 330 N.Grant and enjoy once again the fellowshipthat is an Omega tradition.

The dollars that have been pledged haveconformed with traditional fund-raising stan-dards. Thus the top 15 gifts account for athird of the dollars pledged and the next 84,the second third. The largest single gift todate was considerably less than might havebeen expected based on similar campaigns atother fraternities at Purdue. However, thegoal can be reached if others who are stilluncommitted will support the campaign.

Supreme Chapterwill consider changesto Supreme Law

Continued from page 1

• Once-a-year elections for all chap-ters. Supreme Law currently allows for chap-ter officer elections to be held "once or twicea year."• Elimination of little sister groups.

The intent of this proposal is to protect thesingle-sex status of the Fraternity.• Allowance for exceptions to be made

to Supreme Law. This would allow chaptersto petition the National Council for exemp-tion from any Supreme Law due to "unusualand extenuating circumstances."• Increased flexibility of the role of the

immediate Past National President. Underthe proposal, this person would serve in anycapacity seen fit by the National Council;currently he is required to serve as the chair-man of the nominating committee.• Elimination of the word "pledge" or

"pledgeship" from Supreme Law. SupremeLaw currently uses the phrases "associatemember(s)/pledge(s)" and "pledgeship/as-sociate membership."

Another topic to be considered at the42nd Supreme Chapter is the status of the in-frastructure loan fund adopted at the 41stSupreme Chapter. The program is designedto provide loans to chapters, alumni associa-tions and housing corporations for housingacquisition, renovation, funiture and ritualequipment.

forumDuke student saddened by brother's death; 'moved' by Reep story

I was greatly moved by your articlecommemorating the loss of Dean Reep ofDelta Lambda Chapter-University of NorthCarolina-Charlotte.

Just recently, Mu Associate Chapter-Duke Ur' ersity suffered a similar loss asour warden. Lars Lyon, passed away on Oct.18, 1988, from complications associated witha bone marrow transplant. Brother Lyon hadbeen suffering from prostrate cancer forapproximately 15 months.

Lars was my first contact with Pi KappaPhi, and it was he that eventually drew me topledge Mu Chapter. Under increasinglyhostile university administration (DukeUniversity withdrew recognition of Mu Chap-

ter several yearsago), he workedhard and com-pletely devoted histime and life to strive for the growth of our PiKappa Phi. Only the sudden onset of cancerforced him to leave the university and thechapter. But his efforts finally came to frui-tion this year.

Although he left Mu Chapter at a lowpoint, his spirit carried on in our hearts and hewitnessed the beginnings of our new bur-geoning life which eventually enabled us tonearly triple our size this year.

Road sign for Texas A&M chapter with the state's anti-litter slogan

Adopt-a-Highway projectsenhance chapters' images

Continued from page 1

Gamma Beta-Old Dominion Universityare just two of a handful of chapters whichhave found that "adopting" a highway isa simple, visible way of showing thecommunity that fraternities do more thanjust party.

Both chapters have signed two-yearcontracts with their states' DOT's, obli-gating them to four cleanups per year. Inreturn, the state posts roadside markerslisting Pi Kappa Phi's and the universi-ties' names.

Darrell Janezic, archon of GammaBeta, said he got the idea from the Vir-ginia public works magazine. He thencontacted the DOT, which gave him allthe paperwork he needed to get the ballrolling.

On the first Saturday afternoon theydid the project, chapter members weremet by a state engineer, who issued themorange construction vests to make themmore visible to oncoming traffic. In twoand a half hours they had collected about100 bags of trash - containing everythingfrom a dog carcass to empty McDonaldscontainers to a box of used condoms.

Participation that afternoon was high- about 50 of 65 brothers showed up -partly because "we like to do communityservice projects" and partly because any-one who missed the cleanup without avalid excuse could not attend the nextweek's party, Janezic said.

"I didn't really want to do it at first,said Gamma Beta member Mike Min-richs. "It didn't sound like a lot of fun. Butwhen you get down to it, it's a chance forus all' to get together and do somethingworthwhile. Society sees fraternities as

being kind of bad. We still have the'Animal House' image, which is reallyoutdated. This is what we're really allabout."

For Gamma Beta the project hasbeen a huge public relations success -both the local and campus papers havefeatured them in articles - partly becausethey are the only group in Norfolk orVirginia Beach to adopt a highway.

While Delta Omega's project hasnot received as much campus attention -the chapter is only one of about 10 frater-nities to adopt a highway - it's been a bigcommunity-p.r. booster.

"It's a big boost for community rela-tions," said Alan Brevard, the chapter'scommittee chairman for the project. Thechapter is listed with the other participat-ing groups in a community flyer.

Brevard went through the mainte-nance division of the DOT to set thingsup. "They furnish the bags and vests, soit's not costing us anything. We go out ona Saturday afternoon and in two hourswe're done." Members are not requiredto attend, but "we go play baseball after-wards, so we have a good time doing it,"he said.

In addition to improving the looks ofthe highways, these chapters' effortseventually will help save part of the mil-lions tax-payers shell out to clean upothers' messes.

Both chapters are involved in othercommunity projects as well, such as DeltaOmega's participation in a communitysponsored "Big Event," in which theypainted houses and did yard work in asenior citizens district, and Gamma Beta'swork with the handicapped, buildingramps for wheelchairs.

where will realize that the strength of ourbrotherhood cannot be severed by death.Indeed, our pledge to help brothers in need

persists even through death and into theChapter Eternal.

Alcohol and narcotics equally harmfulI have observed for more than three-

fourths of a century the effects of alcohol andother narcotics. There is very little differencein the effect of both of these. I wrote theSurgeon General over 20 years ago and urgedhim to have a label placced on alcoholicbeverages, similar to the one placed on ciga-rPtes, that alcohol is harmful to your health.i never received the courtesy of a reply from

him.Alcohol, in my opinion, is mainly re-

sponsible for the slaughter on the highways.Our youth and others are entitled to know thetruth, and if the publication of this lettersaves at least 1 percent of the people from theaddiction, I will consider it worthwhile.

Charterings held for 4 coloniesContinued from page 1

sity of California-San Diego.That Saturday the chartering banquet

was held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, afamous southern California area landmark.In attendance were Area X Governor SteveRyder, Chapter Advisor Dana Taylor, Hous-ing Corporation President Bob Pastirjak,advisory committee members Ken Pollockand Bryan Edwards, several campus Greekadvisors, faculty members, and the Inter-fraternity Council president and Panhellenicpresident.

Zeta Nu-West ChesterOn Jan. 28 the West Chester University

colony became the Zeta Nu Chapter ofPi Kappa Phi. The date marked the end of thechapter's 14-month journey which beganNov. 4, 1987 - Zeta Nu's founding date.

The charter was accepted by ArchonJohn Twohig in the Devon Room at the WestChester Inn at the chartering banquet. JeffCohick, chartering officer, presented himwith the charter. Area I Councilor and WestChester Greek Advisor Pat Farley gave thekey-note speech and served as assistantchartering officer. Other officials in atten-dance were the Administrative Office's JonScott and Scott Smith; Chapter Advisor Maj.Richard Moultrie, and West Chester's drugand alcohol counselor Jackie Hodes.

The chartering process began Thursday

evening, Jan. 26, when the associates wereadministered their written tests. Friday after-noon the associates took their oral boards,after which the members were informed thatthey would become the 37 founding fathersof Zeta Nu Chapter.

That evening initiation was held in theNewman Center where ritual teams fromEpsilon Tau Chapter-St. Joseph's Univer-sity and Zeta Delta Chapter-ShippensburgUniversity were preparing for the foundingfathers. Two alumni initiates and 37 brotherswere initiated.

Saturday night the chartering banquetwas held. From the opening welcome bySmith to the closing benediction, there was afeeling of relief mixed with a hint of nostal-gia. The emotional highlight was Twohig'splaying of the Hollies song, "He Ain't Heavy,He's My Brother."

The closing benediction was the end ofthe beginning, and each brother could feelthe excitement. The evening concluded witha celebration at the Zeta Nu chapter housenear campus.

Pi Kappa Phi became the eighth frater-nity on West Chester's campus. The univer-sity, located in West Chester, Pa., has beenrecognized by the National Register of His-toric Places.
