MAN OF ACHIEVEMENT

Gerry Mossinghoff: Impact on the National Stage By Jeff Jowdy (Univ. of Georgia, ’85) | Foundation Chair The Honorable Gerald Mossinghoff is Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity’s latest Man of Achievement, the Fraternity’s highest alumni honor. The award was presented at the Fraternity’s 2019 Convention in Austin, Texas. Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity is focused on equipping servant leaders to find their passion in life and make a difference in the world around them. For some brothers, that impact may be in their local community, others statewide and for some, on a national level. Brother Mossinghoff made his mark on a national scale, serving as deputy general counsel of NASA; as Assistant Secretary of

The Temple | Fall 2019

Commerce and Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks during President Reagan’s first term; and then as president of one of the nation’s most important trade associations, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA). Gerry is one of the world's premier intellectual property specialists. He advised Reagan concerning the establishment of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which strengthened patent law in the United States, and he initiated a far-reaching automation program to computerize the Patent Office's enormous databases.

MAN OF ACHIEVEMENT

He has testified more than 75 times before Congress and now is senior counsel to Oblon, one of the nation's most prominent intellectual property law firms. He has served as a patent law expert in more than 300 cases and written more than 100 articles. Born in St. Louis, Gerry received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1957 from St. Louis University, where he began his journey as a brother of Phi Kappa Theta (then known as Theta Kappa Phi). The Fraternity was a meaningful experience, he shares, getting him really integrated into campus life.

“...if you have to choose between being smart or being lucky, choose lucky every time. It's a lot better than being smart. And I was just simply lucky. In everything I did, it all just came through.” - Gerry Mossinghoff

offered an opportunity to return to the Patent Office in Washington, D.C where he served in several positions, including director of legislative planning.

recommended to President McKinley that he close the Patent Office because “everything that can be invented had been invented.”

He then received his law degree with honors from George Washington University and worked as a patent examiner for four years before returning to St. Louis to practice law. But not before meeting and marrying his wife Jeanne, a Virginia native.

Prior to his nomination as Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks in 1981, Gerry and then Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldridge met with Reagan.

“So, President Reagan looked at me and said, ‘I'm going to send your nomination to the Senate tomorrow. But you’ve got to assure me now that you're not going to make some kind of a reservation like that gentleman did.’ And I said, ‘No, you've got my promise there!’”

Even working at the best law firm in St. Louis was “boring,” he says, compared to working in the patent office in D.C. where he led the Electronic Security Division which handles top-secret patents.

During the conversation, Reagan asked if Gerry was familiar with Charles Holland Duell, a patent commissioner at the turn of the 19th century. He told the president that he was aware of Duell, who reportedly

“Anything that came in that was marked confidential, secret or top secret from the Navy, Air Force, whatever, came to our division,” he shared when accepting his award. So, it didn’t take long for Gerry and Jeanne to agree to re-locate when he was

“He was an intellectual property president,” Gerry shares.

Despite his long list of achievements, Gerry remains humble about his success. “I have a very clever granddaughter, who asked me, ‘How did you do this? What did you have to do to get all these opportunities?’ And I said that if you have to choose between being smart or being lucky, choose lucky every time,” Gerry shared when accepting his award. “It's a lot better than being smart. And I was just simply lucky. In everything I did, it all just came through.” Gerry was an Armand and Irene Cifelli Professorial Lecturer in Law at the George Washington University Law School. He recently retired after teaching patent law for more than 20 years. He was inducted into the Intellectual Property Hall of Fame in 2007 and is a member of the Military Order of Malta (Knights of Malta). He concluded his acceptance on a note of gratitude. “Thank you very much for this opportunity to address you and for that lovely, lovely gift that will constantly remind me of this evening and your generosity to me, and the great work you do,” he said. “This connection with all of you wonderful people is something I treasure. Thank you very much.” Fall 2019 | The Temple

A Legacy of Leadership Beyond Belief, developed by the Fraternity, is another great example of Phi Kappa Theta investing in developing well-rounded, passionately driven men. I believe this dedication will allow us to truly distinguish ourselves as the premier organization for developing servant leaders who passionately serve society, Fraternity, and God.”

Excellence has its ripple effects. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Jeb Vavak’s dedication to excellence is echoing in the lives of the chapter brothers to whom he’s passed the baton of leadership. This past spring, as president, Brother Vavak accepted the Founder’s Cup for Phi Kappa Theta’s most outstanding chapter. He credits others with helping him bring Nebraska Pi to new heights. Specifically, he points to Dr. Michael Brown's guidance during the IMPACT18 Conference, along with his chapter's campus chaplain. “I think we’ve been a good, strong chapter as far as programming. But a couple years ago we were struggling with members not living in the house in their junior and senior years. That hurt us financially.” Jeb had been attending the Regional Leadership Conferences, and says that since the introduction of curriculum by DMB Coaching, it’s become transformational. “I got really excited after IMPACT 18 to take on more leadership roles. It is evident to me that the national fraternity really does care about our development.”

Coupled with suggestions from the Nebraska Pi chaplain, Jeb introduced changes to inspire more brothers to live in the house. A spring “Signing Day” ceremony, coupled with discussions about the importance of sustaining their in-person daily bond, made a big difference. “Last fall, we filled the house to capacity. And that allowed us to finally start focusing on more of our goals – the pillars that matter most.” For Brother Vavak, chief among the fraternity’s pillars is the SPIRITUAL. “I am proud to be part of an organization that embraces and values spiritual development. A new curriculum called

Brother Vavak commends alumni for their generous support of the Phi Kappa Theta Foundation’s educational initiatives that promote and encourage excellence at every level. Jeb Vavak graduated in 2019 after serving Nebraska Pi Chapter as President, Philanthropy Chairman and Recruitment Assistant. He has accepted a missionary role with Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) beginning this fall at the University of Washington-Seattle. Brother Vavak was involved with FOCUS at Nebraska. He looks forward to hosting Bible studies, forming committed disciples, leading mission trips, and engaging with students by inviting them into a community of people who share similar values.

OUTSTANDING YOUNG ALUMNUS

A Testament to Resilience By Jeff Jowdy (Univ. of Georgia, ’85) | Foundation Chair The 2019 Outstanding Young Alumnus, Cody Barbo, has known great success, but he also has dealt with the adversity of failure. The 30-year-old entrepreneur who graduated from San Diego State University co-founded Industry, a LinkedIn-type platform for the service and hospitality sector, only to lose control to outside investors. Cody learned from that experience to create a new start-up and is now the co-founder and CEO of Trust & Will, an estate planning software. Cody is the fifth recipient of the Outstanding Young Alumnus Award and the third from San Diego State

The Temple | Fall 2019

University joining Brothers Sean Guardian and Paul Goodman as honorees. Accepting the award, Cody talked about the importance of resilience. “Failure in business, it's inevitable, especially going down the path of entrepreneurship,” he shared. “For three and a half years, we built [Industry], we won a ton of pitch competitions, we raised this money and helped thousands of people get jobs. “But the realities of business sometimes are that when you raise outside capital, you give up board

OUTSTANDING YOUNG ALUMNUS

seats, you give up this equity, you lose control as a founder, and even as founder and CEO,” he said. Cody considers his separation from Industry “one of the better things that could happen to me from a career standpoint.” Within a year he and a new partner had raised another $2 million and formed Trust & Will. “I wanted to be an entrepreneur, a want-repreneur, more so than really embodying what it means to be an entrepreneur, which is rolling up your sleeves and doing the heavy work,” he shared. “We arguably have had more success at Trust & Will now in a year and a half than we did in three and a half years of Industry,” Cody said. “I'm very much taking a unique, more leadership-driven approach, a values-driven approach, to how we build a company, how I spend time with my co-founders, with my team, with our investors, and more importantly, with our customers.” He also spoke of inspiring the next generation of leaders and aiming to “replace yourself with somebody who's better, that strives for more greatness.” In presenting the 2019 Outstanding Young Alumnus Award, Raymond Wu called Cody “a visionary.” “Cody Barbo likes to try to make life easier for everyone,” Wu said. “He's always finding the next best thing. And with

Phi Kap, his vision was a better college experience for our SDSU chapter.” Cody served as SDSU chapter president, then InterFraternity Council president and, in his senior year, was student body president. He also serves on the San Diego State University Alumni Board of Advisors as vice president of partnerships. Cody and his wife, Mystique, are expecting a baby girl and are already the parents of a pup named Scooter.

Dedicating his award to Ben Safara, a brother of the Phi Iota chapter who passed away this year, Cody said, “He was a standout brother who showed up to everything, always had a positive attitude and was willing to roll up his sleeves and help when anything was asked of him.” “If you think of where you're at today, in your life, where you're going in the next five to 10 years, you'd be surprised how willing people are to help,” Cody concluded. “The Brotherhood is strong, and I'm proud to be a brother of Phi Kappa Theta.”

"Cody Barbo likes to try to make life easier for everyone. He's always finding the next best thing. And with Phi Kap, his vision was a better college experience for our SDSU chapter." Raymond Wu

2018-2019 Chapter Awards & Recognition Phi Kappa Theta continues to evolve how we honor those chapters and brothers who are living our mission. Historically the Founders Cup and Chapter Awards where given to chapters for submitting awards packets. Over the last few years, those chapters who have earned recognition did so based on a balance of their mission alignment and their strength as an operationally sound chapter. In the last fiscal year, Phi Kappa Theta developed a points system which allows chapters to earn points based on their mission-alignment and operational efficiency. This system has allowed us to recognize chapters for different levels of achievement. More importantly, it has created a vehicle to allow chapters to redeem these points towards continued programs, workshops and services. In addition to these levels of achievement chapters who demonstrated an intentional plan to improve their ability to provide positive developmental cultures also submitted their programs, events and activities through our Achieve Program. Those chapters were also recognized for excellence across all five areas of development with our Nebraska Pi chapter earning the top award, the prestigious Founders Cup, for the 2018-2019 academic year. Congratulations to all of our brothers who put in so much work over the last year to develop cultures at their chapters aligned with Phi Kappa Theta's mission to actively development men to be effective leaders who passionately serve society, Fraternity, and God.

In the spring of 2019, the chapter created a unified vision for its future. Brothers discovered what gives life in the fraternity and recognized the good and bad of the chapter's current state. From this, they have created a strategic action plan which will drive leadership towards the chapter's 2024 vision. The chapter also received high honors from the university in leadership, citizenship, scholarship, and ritual; all four pillars of CWRU greek life. The chapter’s strategic action plan has also renewed good standing with the university. LF

Recently the Michigan Omega chapter has been taking steps to improve its internal process and outward appearance on campus. In the spring of 2019, the chapter organized a charity car smash for Children’s Miracle Network raising $500.

PRESIDENTIAL ACCEPTANCE REMARKS

If Not Us, Who? If Not Now, When? Doug Dilling (Kansas State Univ., ’84) | Incoming President Phi Kappa Theta National Convention, 2019 I am simultaneously humbled and thrilled at this opportunity. President Adrian Gonzalez, please accept my personal thanks for your outstanding leadership for the past biennium. You have provided innovative and steady guidance to our Fraternity. And my appreciation wouldn’t be complete without a heartfelt thanks to the first lady of Phi Kappa Theta, your amazing wife, Monica! I want to start by telling you my Phi Kappa Theta story because I think it’s important that you know a little about me. It was 1983 when I had the eye-opening experience of attending the Phi Kappa Theta national convention held over the Thanksgiving weekend in Indianapolis. As the new Chapter President at Kansas Iota, I was taken aback at the convention

The Temple | Fall 2019

experience. It was amazing to meet and engage with brothers from all over the country and actually participate in the official business of our fraternity. It was at this convention 36 years ago where I truly experienced what Benjamin Franklin meant when he said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” It was there I was elected to one of the then two collegiate board positions – incidentally, that was changed around 1990 to the current UGAC model – tripling the board representation from collegiate members. That engagement led to a job as a field consultant with the Fraternity – then located in Worcester, MA. I helped move the Fraternity’s executive office to Indianapolis, and I, along with two collegiate brothers of the Mass Lambda chapter, literally loaded and drove the twenty foot Rider

PRESIDENTIAL ACCEPTANCE REMARKS

“We don’t even have to look outside our fraternity for inspiration! How about one of our own Phi Kappa Theta Brothers, John F. Kennedy – the 35th President - who said many things that inspire us today like: 'If not us who? If not now, when?' or 'Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.'” - Doug Dilling PKT President

Mentors contributed greatly to my growth and I know many of you are beneficiaries of similar counsel. I’ll circle back to this idea of mentors in a minute.

truck containing the office equipment and the nearly 100-year fraternity history 19 hours from Worcester to Indianapolis, finally arriving at the new HQ on Founder’s Day, April 29, 1985. I spent the next seven years on the professional staff, retiring in 1992 as the 5th Executive Director. It was at the 1983 Convention where my commitment to the larger purpose of Phi Kappa Theta was sparked. It was there I met national officers who would become my mentors for the next several decades, Tony Zinnante, Ed Solvibile, Pat Hays, Greg Stein, Fathers Erwin Schweigardt and Owen Mullen, and that list is not complete. I couldn’t have imagined that the spark ignited in me 36 years ago would lead me here today, accepting the role as our Fraternity’s President. And there is no way my personal and professional journey would be possible without the tutelage of those brothers who guided and mentored me along the way. Perhaps one of the most valuable contributions Phi Kappa Theta makes to its members is the connection to mentors. As brothers, we are introduced to supportive, mentoring relationships.

As I stand here tonight, contemplating what lies ahead for us, I consider the very real and stark environment in which we exist today. We all know about the daunting challenges campus-oriented fraternities face. We keenly know the realities of external and internal issues that threaten our very existence. Your Board of Trustees has been wrestling with these threats – focusing on how we will face these very real challenges, address areas where we are exposed, rid ourselves of harmful practices and behaviors while still preserving the inarguably good traits and results of our mission.

Phi Kappa Theta actively develops men to be effective leaders who passionately serve society, Fraternity and God. As we embark on perhaps some of the most exciting and pivotal times of our history, it is upon that mission that we build our plans and direction. It is from that mission that we take our charge and I assure you that your board is committed to making the difficult decisions necessary to shape our fraternity’s relevancy for the future. It is fitting that this Convention was themed “Launch”. For the near future, our path includes launching the initiatives authorized by the Resolutions Committee and passed by this Convention… taking new risks, exploring new ideas like subscription-based membership, or

deploying new membership structures such as city-based chapters or online member education… we do so always with our feet firmly planted on the mission of developing men to be effective leaders. Leaders who are positioned to help our world deal with the many daunting issues we face today. Global climate change threatens our very future as a species, political unrest abroad and within our country challenge the peace we’ve enjoyed for three generations. Income inequality, systemic racism, gender and sexual orientation bias are all very real and difficult problems we face as a society. Regardless of our individual religious beliefs, and while we are not an exclusively Catholic organization, we take inspiration from saints, martyrs and other men and women of faith. Our Catholic heritage gives us wonderful examples and teachings. Like Archbishop Ramero of El Salvador who spoke out against poverty and social injustice who was hailed as a hero by supporters of liberation theology. Arch Bishop Ramero faithfully adhered to Catholic teachings on liberation and social justice. For his life’s work which ultimately cost him his life, Pope Francis canonized Ramero as a saint on October 14, last year. More importantly, his work continues to inspire change round the world. We don’t even have to look outside our Fraternity for inspiration! How about one of our own Phi Kappa Theta Brothers, John F. Kennedy – the 35th President - who said many things that inspire us today like: “If not us who? If not now, when?” or “Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.”

Fall 2019 | The Temple

PRESIDENTIAL ACCEPTANCE REMARKS

Brother Kennedy said, in June of 1963 – only two years after the then Senator Kennedy was initiated into our Fraternity, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past, or the present, are certain to miss the future.” We certainly take inspiration from people of faith and action like Brother Kennedy or Arch Bishop Ramero. It is only thru leadership and action that societal threats can be dealt with effectively. This is precisely why we dedicate ourselves to the Phi, the Kappa and the Theta. This is precisely why we exist as a fraternity. And to be clear, while we are a “social fraternity”, I’m afraid many of our members have not only made “social” the singular theme – ignoring the other four pillars of Phi Kappa Theta, but have also narrowly defined “social” in order to excuse unhealthy, harmful behaviors for themselves and to others. And it is because of this myopic, narrow definition of “brotherhood” and the resulting injurious behaviors that our collegiate Greek system is under attack by host institutions, courts and the greater community. And who can blame them? Really! When most of you and I participated in the formal ritual exemplification this afternoon, we raised our right hands and took an oath… a solemn promise… that was concluded with these words…

“… and I will not now, or ever, condone practices or conduct in my chapter not in accordance with those principles, so help me God.” Brothers, we must all remember this oath when we go back to our individual efforts. When we face challenges with members or chapters, it is this oath which is our binding commitment to our mission. It is

the principles and mission of Phi Kappa Theta that we, as leaders, are sworn to protect and uphold. As brother Kennedy said, “If not us…. Who?” Fortunately, this Convention has given us the authority to move forward and launch exciting initiatives and experiments. The resolutions passed here give us room to take some risks, be innovative, be creative … so that we can deploy, learn from, modify, redeploy again and ultimately redesign the future for Phi Kappa Theta– all with a firm commitment to build upon the mission of developing leaders to serve society, Fraternity and God. And this is what energizes me about the days ahead for our Fraternity. You have given the board and staff the authority to explore new opportunities and paths. This authority, coupled with the dramatic and impactful development curriculum created by our partners at DMB Coaching, position Phi Kappa Theta to ultimately emerge as a preeminent leadership development organization. One that is invited back to campuses where we are being kicked off of today. One that young men seek out. One that parents wholly support and one that those seeking to make a difference in our world know about, seek out and line up to join. So back to my initial thoughts on mentorship… I shared with you my Phi Kappa Theta story and the many brothers who have sustained and supported me for nearly 40 years. It is with the blessing of hindsight and the benefit of decades of good mentoring that I ask you, will your journey be similar? Who among you will be giving this speech in 20-30 years? How will your trajectory be influenced by your participation today? What exciting adventures are ahead of you as a result of who you’ve met and what you’ve learned here?

Think about the many opportunities that lie ahead for you. Consider how you can continue the Phi Kappa Theta journey in the next decade and beyond. How can you stay engaged to help shape your future and play a role in mentoring younger brothers wherever you land? What do you take back to your chapters tomorrow? How will you provide vision and leadership to face the challenges and opportunities ahead? Having met most of you, I can assure you that you stand a much better chance of making a significant difference, having been a brother in Phi Kappa Theta. And that, my brothers, is the reason WE are here. Brothers, I thank you for your dedication and for the confidence you’ve placed in me and your leadership team. May we all look ourselves in the mirror in the tomorrows ahead and be assured that we are doing the right thing… living up to the exciting potential of our vision and mission. I look forward to a productive and fulfilling two years!

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past, or the present, are certain to miss the future.” - President John F. Kennedy

Sean Saved My Life By Jeremy Coombs (San Diego State Univ., ’03) One fateful September night in 2002, a little man in a wheelchair rolled into my apartment hoping to learn how to talk with girls. Little did I know that I was the one in for a lifetime of lessons. Sean Stephenson, the 3 Foot Giant, saw me dancing with a group of girls and he was in awe. He wanted to learn how to captivate them and find the love he had been seeking. There I was, smile on my face, covered in sweat, but ready to teach this little person a new way of thinking. Sean and I sat, amidst a raging party, chatting about everything other than girls. We formed a bond that endures even though he’s passed to the other side. Sean’s first lesson was to make sure he smelled good, because everyone has distinct memories that are triggered by our sense of smell – both good and bad. Good thing for us that I had a steady supply of Axe Body Spray. A quick dousing of Sean and we were off to engage in what would be the first of thousands of dance parties. Those dance parties occurred any and everywhere.

Sean and I would attach a speaker to his wheelchair and hit the streets of San Diego - or whatever city we were visiting – and let the dance moves fly. Dancing has a great way of evoking the emotions of the human spirit. Some find themselves fearful when the beat drops and those were the people we targeted for our random dance parties. Being three-feet tall, most people only saw Sean’s disability at first. Yet when he let his patented dance moves fly, they inevitably would let their guard down and join the dance party. The most awkward moments would turn into pure joy and happiness. That was Sean’s greatest gift.

whenever and to share my unique gifts with the world. Sean embraced our motto, “Give, expecting nothing thereof.” He gave us and all of humanity all he had while he was here and didn’t expect anything in return. Well, maybe except for love. I think I can let him slide on that one. As my journey continues without him here, physically, I’m reminded of some of the lessons that are entrenched in my soul. “The mind can’t tell the difference between imagination and reality.” “Life happens for us, not to us.” “You are loved.” I hear his voice and feel his love. That won’t ever change.

He had the uncanny ability to turn any tense, awkward moment into love. He gave people the ability to see the power that resides in their souls and the love in their hearts.

I’m grateful for the time I spend with him, the laughs we shared, the Brotherhood, and, most of all, his unwavering and loving belief in me.

Sean saved my life.

Tears of gratitude roll down my cheeks as I think about how that fateful night led me to a life that dreams are made of.

He taught me to love myself when I was in darkness and drowning myself in alcohol. He taught me to embrace my emotions and not run from them. He taught me to let my light shine wherever,

So put on your favorite song, crank it up loud and dance. Sean would want it that way.

The Temple | Fall 2019

LAUNCHING CITY-BASED CHAPTERS

RESOLUTION ON NEW MEMBER MARKETS During Phi Kappa Theta's 62nd Biennial Convention, there were several resolutions passed by our voting members. These resolutions allow the Fraternity to experiment and pilot with several new initiatives over the next biennium. One of those resolutions addressed the opportunity to explore new member markets. This resolution gives us opportunities to explore how our Fraternity continues to bring our mission to more faith-based men looking to be servant leaders. Every year, we continue to be contacted by interested students who wish to be part of Phi Kappa Theta fraternity because of our commitment to servant leadership and faith. When these opportunities arise, we now have the ability to explore multiple options: execute the traditional expansion of a Phi Kappa Theta chapter and/or launch a non-greek letter organization with the focuses being faith and spiritual development or servant leadership. We will continue to provide our membership updates on this exploration of new member markets on our website.

RESOLUTION ON NEW MEMBER MARKETS WHEREAS, Phi Kappa Thetaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional expansion strategy has been to start (or restart) collegiate chapters at four-year colleges and universities, and WHEREAS, Phi Kappa Theta will continue to invest in the traditional growth model where success is predicted, and WHEREAS, it has become increasingly difficult to find successful opportunities in this traditional market, and WHEREAS, Phi Kappa Theta sees opportunities to grow its brotherhood by taking advantage of untapped potential member markets. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Phi Kappa Theta will spend the next biennium exploring opportunities to grow its brotherhood through these untapped new member markets such as but not limited to trade schools and community colleges. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Fraternity will present the results and any legislative recommendations or resolutions to the 63rd Biennial Convention in 2021. Passed by 2019 Convention.

RESOLUTION ON CITY-BASED CHAPTERS The other major area that we will be exploring over the next two years is the idea of a city-based or geographic based chapter. The opportunity to develop these city-based chapters is that it will serve two audiences: those brothers willing to be mentored as they search for meaningful careers and those brothers looking to strengthen their personal and professional networks within their cities. This specific demographic we're launching first is considered those alumni who are in the investigative season of their life (22 - 40). As we continue to build around this audience, alumni through the other seasons will naturally find meaningful mentoring roles within these city-based chapters; transcending the brotherhood beyond their collegiate and alma mater bonds. We will continue to provide updates and opportunities to get involved on our website over the next two years.

RESOLUTION ON CITY-BASED CHAPTERS WHEREAS, Phi Kappa Thetaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Constitution & Bylaws defines alumni and collegiate chapters and alumni and collegiate charters, and WHEREAS, Phi Kappa Theta will continue to follow the Constitution & Bylaws, and WHEREAS, Phi Kappa Theta recognizes the opportunity to invest more resources into city-based chapters. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Phi Kappa Theta will spend the next biennium exploring opportunities to implement a city-based chapter model that is comprised of both collegiate and alumni brothers. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Fraternity will present the results and any legislative recommendations or resolutions to the 63rd Biennial Convention in 2021. Passed by 2019 Convention.

PKTAAA GALA

Making Magic in San Antonio By Kathy Jonas (Indiana Univ., ’78) The stars aligned for the inaugural PKT Alamo Alumni Association Gala in San Antonio in June, raising record amounts for scholarships through an incredible evening of brotherhood and fellowship. A few examples of kismet: 1. When organizers put the event online looking for a band, the person who responded just happened to be a brother who is in a nine-piece group called the San AnTunes, a popular wedding and event band. 2. Patty Jacobson, the sister of the late Chuck Herrera, a PKT brother, spent 28 years in the hospitality field and scouted several hotels and scrutinized contracts before they decided on the historic Sheraton Gunter Hotel, which served not only as the location of the gala, but also as a destination for the attendees who traveled to San Antonio for the gala. The hotel is located near the popular River Walk.

The Temple | Fall 2019

3. Manny Gonzalez of the PKT Foundation Board, worked tirelessly lining up major donors through his many business connections. Some of those donors had no connection to PKT other than a desire to help the cause and support the mission. All that kismet – and hard work – paid off as 93 people attended and raised $20,000 to benefit PKT scholarship recipients. “It was way beyond our expectations,” said Lou Luera, Vice President of the Association, who spearheaded efforts to go all out with a major fundraiser this year. “We wanted to do the best that we could and make it as nice as possible so that people would want to come back next year.” And that happened. After the event, attendees were pulling organizers aside wanting to know the date of next year’s event and one even asked if they could have two galas next year.

“It was way beyond our expectations. We wanted to do the best that we could and make it as nice as possible so that people would want to come back next year. ” - Lou Luera

Vice President, PKT Alamo Alumni Association

The event impressed outgoing PKT President Adrian Gonzalez who considers the association as a model for other chapters looking to reinvigorate their fundraising efforts. “The Alamo Alumni Association has become the premier association in the country,” he said. “They exemplify servant leadership at its best.” The decision to put on a gala was not without a lot of discussion and debate. “When I became president (of the Alamo Alumni Association) I was hesitant at first,” said Danny Saenz, noting the risks involved in planning and executing such a large – and different – event. The idea was presented to the membership and, once approved, they “took off running.” The various committees were assigned, action items were developed and then it was a matter of doing the hard work necessary, Saenz said, who noted that everyone “stayed in their lane,” working together to achieve their goal of providing scholarships for PKT students in need. Saenz said they began planning a “dress” event. Although tuxes were optional, a professional appearance was emphasized. Dignitaries such as the local sheriff, elected officials and veterans were invited, along with the association membership. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited by a member of the VFW. Along with formal dress, organizers wanted a band, not a DJ, to perform. As mentioned earlier, the listing on gigmaster.com resulted in a response from John Garza, a PKT pledge back in 1983 at Pan American University in Edinburg, Texas. “I moved to San Antonio in 2004 and started a band with a friend and my stepson,” he said. “We formed The San Antunes as a variety band playing San Antonio-style music including oldies, disco, Tejano (Texas-Mexican music), Conjunto (accordion-based ensemble music) and Top 40. We have grown into a 9-piece band and play weddings, private parties and corporate events.” He added that they recently played for one of the Democratic presidential candidates.

When Garza noticed the lead online and saw it was sent by a PKT brother, he did not hesitate about calling them back. “I met with the committee soon afterwards and pitched the band as the only one for the Gala, since I was a PKT brother myself,” Garza said. “Of course we connected immediately and were hired to perform.” The selection of The Gunter Hotel, made possible by hospitality expert Jacobson, resulted in the selection of a hotel and an event location that was desirable for those traveling from outside the city. “If you want to do this right, plan it like a wedding,” advised Jacobson, noting that a hotel would provide everything needed such as linens, parking, food and décor and the result would be elegant. Located in the heart of San Antonio, the Sheraton Gunter was built in 1909 and is adjacent to the popular River Walk. The hotel, which just celebrated its 110th anniversary, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

On a personal note, not only was Jacobson giving back to honor her late brother, but she was also thanking the Fraternity for its love and support during the difficult days after his sudden death last September. “When he passed the group rallied around me, helped me get through his celebration of life.”

“The Alamo Alumni Association has become the premier association in the country. They exemplify servant leadership at its best.” - Adrian Gonzalez

PKT Immediate Past President

Organizers of this successful event always kept in mind the goal of the fundraiser: to help brothers attend college. Last year’s scholarship recipient, Diego Lugo, took time out this summer break while working for his dad to share how much the scholarship helped him. “In past semesters, I’ve struggled financially because my parents didn’t want me to work during the school year,” said Lugo. “This money helped me make ends meet.” The senior at University of Texas at Austin is majoring in kinesiology, the study of the body’s muscles and joints. One of four children, he wrote an essay to get selected as the scholarship winner. He hopes to attend medical school to become a sports psychologist. The fraternity motto “give, expecting nothing thereof,” means a lot to him as he has volunteered at the Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas in Austin. Gonzalez can’t say enough about Alamo Alumni Association’s willingness to change its thought process in order to come up with such a successful event. “Mentally, they thought outside the box and developed a new mindset.” Fall 2019 | The Temple

Performance Coach of the Year What prompts alumni to come back, and give back, to their chapters and Phi Kappa Theta Fraternity and Foundation? Seth Ware, a 2013 graduate of Trine University and an Indiana Alpha Gamma graduate, shares some firsthand insights on this important question. What are you doing these days? I live in Angola, Indiana, and work as a senior software developer for Cooper Standard Automotive in Fort Wayne. What prompted you to become a Performance Coach for Phi Kappa Theta? I began serving my chapter’s alumni association, then decided to get more involved with the Fraternity on a national level. Following a couple years as a recruitment coach, I raised my hand to be on the Peer Accountability Committee. Then I heard from Robert Riggs about the Performance Coaching program, which augments and expands upon the PAC. Which chapters do you assist? Currently, my own alma mater plus Michigan Omega at Detroit Mercy University. Last year I also had Duquesne and St. Francis universities.

How would you like to enrich collegiate brothers’ fraternal journey – and their lives overall? I want to help them get the most out of their college experience possible. When I was a collegiate, “national” often was portrayed as “the bad guys.” I hope to show collegiate members that it is in fact the opposite! Phi Kappa Theta’s Fraternity and Foundation are a great support system. I also hope that I can inspire those I am mentoring to remain involved as their alumni journey begins. What in your opinion are some of the biggest challenges these young men are facing in their collegiate career that you and Phi Kappa Theta are uniquely positioned to help them meet/overcome? College men are trying to find their place in the world. Thanks to alumni involvement, financially and with their time, Phi Kappa Theta gives them opportunities to explore what they are passionate about so they can figure out what they want to do with their lives. Through initiatives like the

Boysie Bollinger Leadership Academies and partnerships with DMB Coaching, more collegiate brothers are developing into well rounded men. I am able to use both my undergraduate and alumni experience to help young members see how to go after and achieve their goals. Why do you think it’s important for alumni to stay connected with Phi Kappa Theta as volunteers, donors, mentors, etc.? I know I am not alone when I say I would not be the man I am today without Phi Kappa Theta. By staying active, I hope to help today’s members say the same thing. Our Brotherhood is a lifelong commitment, one that manifests differently depending on our life stage. Broad-based support is essential if we hope to thrive and further position ourselves as a premier leadership development organization. Every alumnus has something to offer whether it’s volunteering time or donating funds to further our education initiatives. Only together will we push forward.

LOYOLA-MARYMOUNT TRADITION

Loyola-Marymount Tradition 1971. Jim McClune, organizer of the reunions is standing tall in yellow T-shirt. Gary McLaughlin is seated on the left. Sports was a common interest, and for ten years after graduation, many played together in park baseball leagues.

The brothers of the Alpha Nu chapter at LoyolaMarymount University of Los Angeles recently held their annual reunion. The close-knit brothers consist of classes '69-'74, many of whom have maintained business and social relationships over the years, and have even taken European cruises together. The tradition began twelve years ago when Jim McClune invited some of us to gather for a Saturday lunch at the local burger shack and then attend the LMU basketball game together. The annual gathering has expanded over the years, both in attendance and in the number of social events as more Phi Kap comrades have heard about it. Now the friendships are rekindled over three days of a weekend, and the gathering includes a dinner, mass, lunch, basketball game, golf match, a social memorial for a fallen brother and breakfast. On the weekend of January 11, around 40 brothers participated in various events, some flying into town from Pittsburgh, Oakland, Idaho, North Carolina, Kansas, New Mexico, and other states. Over the years attendees have even included Hawaii residents and some of our chapter forefathers from the early sixties. The commitment to maintaining lifelong friendships was a promise made when we pledged about 50 years ago, and thankfully it is still going strong.

Class of '72 Phi Kaps

As interest built for the reunions over the years, the email chains expanded to more than 60 names. After the 2018 gathering, brother Gary McLaughlin built a google drive site to create a central directory of contact information that everyone could update as addresses and phone numbers change. This site also has become a great new storehouse for all of us to share the photos taken on multiple phones at each gathering. This is especially helpful for those not able to attend to be able to see old friends again. In my capacity as Social Chairman and photographer of the Alpha Nu chapter in the '70s, this new site gives me an opportunity to dig out the photo archives and upload photos from events and activities that everyone had forgotten. Our history and heritage are being recalled afresh, along with old friendships. The tight-knit groups formed by the various pledge classes are thriving social forces within our overall Phi Kap community.

This year marked a special memorial service for recently deceased brother Joe Ruhoff who was responsible in large part for fostering communications among the brothers by establishing and running the first official fantasy football league, Kings X, now in its 37th year, in which many of us participated each year.

Turning Action into Art Graphic design whiz Andrew Cho has interesting conflict on tap as Washington State hosts UCLA By Theo Lawson | Spokesman Review He wasn’t the only Washington State University undergraduate student watching the Pac-12 season opener earlier this fall against UCLA at Martin Stadium in Pullman, but Andrew Cho quite certainly was the only one suppressing the urge to pump his fist and cheer as he watched Washington State quarterback Anthony Gordon throw nine touchdown passes. Cho was living a dream but facing a nightmare as he was the one responsible for relaying the highlights of the game via Twitter to the 85,000-plus users that follow @UCLA-Football. The 21-year-old is still technically enrolled as an undergrad student at Washington State, but he also holds a full-time job in Westwood, where UCLA employs him as a Director of New Media for the Bruins football program. Cho manages the team’s social media accounts, coordinates photo shoots and still gets to scratch his graphic design itch, creating “edits” for football recruits that add to an enticing recruiting package at UCLA. Artists usually aren’t as recognizable as their portfolio. While the majority of Washington State fans probably couldn’t pick Cho out of a crowd, most of them

have been mesmerized by his free-handed pencil sketches, unique digital drawings and slick graphic posters, which, before Cho swapped crimson for baby blue, often portrayed current, former and prospective Cougars football players. Cho’s work has been swimming around the internet, and WSU social spheres, for two years now. Maybe you’ve seen his photo-shopped image of Klay Thomason in a WSU football jersey, part of a series featuring Gold State Warriors players in college football threads that collected more than 1,000 retweets. Or a graphic recreating Muhammad Ali’s famous fight against Sonny Liston in which defensive end Nnamdi Oguayo is pictured instead of Ali, standing fiercely over a Pac-12 opponent. Even Washington State football recruits receive his unique artwork in the mail or via text from head coach Mike Leach or a member of his WSU staff. “Everything that’s happened to me the last year has been through the power of social media,” Cho said.

The strategic communications major from Bothell, Washington, was taking courses in Pullman and sketching on the side when his pencil drawings of WSU football players started to gain traction, especially among the Pac-12 athletes being depicted. In 2017, Cho had a few days to kill after completing final exams, waiting for his ride back home to finish up. So he broke out his pencil and canvas and began drawing ex-WSU player Hunter Dale. Once he folded a physical photo of Dale in half and placed it over his own sketch so the two would match up. Cho’s imagination ran wild. He took a photo of the final project, sent it to Dale and saw it on the defensive back’s Instagram account the next day. Dale’s teammates began to fill Cho’s inbox with various requests. Soon enough, he was the unpaid, unaffiliated artist for the WSU football team, spending almost every minute that wasn’t occupied by schoolwork or eating with a mechanical pencil clamped between his fingers. “There was no thought into it,” Cho said. “It was just, ‘I want to see if I’m getting it to scale,’ kind of thing, and it just happened to work out that way.” Every few days, a new piece of art surfaced from Cho’s Twitter account. The half-sketched, half-photo drawings became a hit among WSU players, as did the traditional free-handed lead sketches. The parents of ex-Cougars quarterback Gardner Minshew still have a “Cho original” displayed on a coffee table in the living room of the Brandon, Mississippi, home.

Fall 2019 | The Temple

TURNING ACTION INTO ART

Cho’s archive also includes a penciled sketch of former WSU quarterback Drew Bledsoe alongside son John, a current Cougars walk-on. That project, Cho estimated, took him nearly a week to complete. He also drew Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, a piece that showed the delicate detail of dark and light pencil shading.

showcasing his artwork, had been producing edits for friends and various football players, and suggested it would be a good way for Cho to build his portfolio.

didn’t know what half the stuff meant. I’m not that in tune with the action figures and all that stuff, but the recruits loved it.”

“Credit to Dallas, I wouldn’t really be doing this whole sports design without him,” Cho said. “He brags about that all the time.”

From afar, so did the football administrators at UCLA.

“The more you do it, the more you start to understand the difference in the pressure of the pencil, the eraser and the different levels of darkness and stuff like that,” said Cho, who blew through seven packets of 25-count paper and used at least 12 containers of pencil lead – 25 lead sticks per container – during a single year. “So I think just doing it every day helped.”

On July 29, FSU’s social media team turned a few-thousand heads when it posted a graphic of a Seminoles player wearing the No. 15 next to a No. 4 that was laid over the original photo. The caption read, “This many days til Noles football!” leaving many with questions.

WSU’s longtime Chief of Staff, Dave Emerick, scoured Cho’s portfolio and offered him a paid student internship within the athletic department, giving Cho creative freedom as long as he produced unique graphics for every player the Cougars were recruiting.

“Are there 15 days till Noles football? Four days? 154 days?” Cho replied, tongue in cheek, “Are ya’ll hiring?” FSU eventually took the post down, but not before UCLA’s Director of Player personnel, Ethan Young, spotted Cho’s comment. Young sent Cho a direct message saying, “They may not be, but we are.”

Emerick would send Cho Excel lists of players the coaches were targeting, often giving him more than 100 names at a time. WSU’s coaches sent Cho’s graphics, and recruiting letters, to prospects either via mail, email or text. “He would only get through four or five a week, but the kid must have never slept because it took him three, four, five, hours just to do one drawing,” Emerick said. “Then he dabbled into the graphic design. He didn’t have any classes, he didn’t have any knowledge of it, he just kind of jumped into it and he was awesome at it.” Now, credit where credit’s due. Cho, a former high school football player who nearly walked on at Boise State, had always been a sports fanatic, but he initially went to WSU to study architecture after receiving a hefty academic scholarship. He switched gears when he decided the field was too technical and was introduced to sports graphic design by a lumbering 6-foot-6, 285-pound defensive lineman who shared the same table as Cho in WSU’s introductory digital technology and culture course.

Social media led Emerick to Cho first, but it’s also one reason the graphic design protégé is wearing Bruins blue, not Cougar crimson, to Saturday’s game. Florida State is the other reason.

For all the high school athletes the Cougars were trying to entice, Cho was easily one of Emerick’s top commits. Once he ditched paper and lead – “Everyone’s going digital, more and more people see social media as that tool, so if I keep up with it, they’ll keep up with my work” – Cho pivoted to digital drawings and graphic posters, manufacturing content for WSU’s Twitter account every few days. “He was always awake,” Emerick said, “He’d always make something.” Cho wants his art to tell a story and he also wants it to mimic current pop culture trends. One design depicts WSU wide receiver Easop Winston Jr., a San Francisco Bay Area native, standing on the Golden Gate Bridge with his arms folded and cars burning in the background. Cho also produced a series of sleek “Avengers”-themed movie posters featuring various WSU players. “You need creativity, you need kind of cutting edge, and Andrew was always innovative,” Emerick said. “I mean … I

With a full slate of undergraduate courses left, Cho weighed his two options, but reasoned, “Would the classes I took this year, just going to campus, 18 credits, both semesters, really benefit me in what I’m trying to do in terms of sports design? Whereas, I could just take the training wheels and go learn and train by the guys that work down there.” UCLA offered him a relocation package and an opportunity to travel with the football team. That made for a sweet deal, but it also served up a bittersweet pickle for Cho in Week 4. Before the game, Cho said he was looking forward to the experience despite being on the opposite side of the field. The game was a thriller as UCLA came back from 32 down in the third quarter to win the game 67-63. Cho likely had mixed feelings throughout the game, but the UCLA football fans following him on Twitter had to be cheering. That’s something even Cho couldn’t have drawn up.

Giving My Life Purpose By Kylee Daily (Univ. of Carthage, ’15) After talking with Brandon Flowers for an hour, it is no surprise the junior at Arizona State University encapsulates the Phi Kappa Theta Mission of passionately serving. With a passion for international health and wellness, Flowers intends to graduate with a Business and Healthcare Management and Biology degree to pursue his passions. Flowers explained, “I want to help other physicians and other medical staff during an emergency crisis, or help healthcare systems, whether in government or private care. I want to do more than a clinical role in medicine.” Flowers returned from a mission trip back in August of 2019 after spending eight months in the West African nation of Ghana teaching in a local orphanage. While in Ghana, Flowers continued his studies at ASU, taking 22 credits online. This trip was Flowers' second trip to Ghana. His first trip was back in 2018, where he did clinical rotations alongside medical students in Shai-Osoduku District Hospital and learned alongside an American physician, who is still practicing full time in Ghana. Flowers' passion is the medical field, and his first

trip allowed him to explore this passion further and established a longing to continue rural healthcare services to those in need. Flowers felt his first trip sparked himself finding his purpose in his life. “The biggest mistake we can do in our lives... is not give it purpose. Having a purpose in life brings a service to people,” said Flowers. Flowers' anticipated his second trip to Ghana, as he knew he wanted to continue to bring service to those in need, but he did not go to explore his passion for medicine. He was called to leave in January to help teach in a local orphanage. Teaching was not a top priority for Flowers, but his time in Ghana challenged him and exposed him to issues that needed to be solved. He gained an appreciation for serving people, and filling needs no matter if those needs were in the medical field or elsewhere. “The second trip gave me an opportunity to impact the kids, but also allow me to learn from the doctors. It ended up

becoming something that challenged me and exposed me to things that needed to be done,” Flowers said. Flowers spent his time in a village nearly two hours outside the main city, which he explored whenever he could. He frequented the local area, where most foreigners would not tour. He also ate the local food and traveled by public transportation, which in most cases, meant riding in a hollowed-out van. By exploring uncharted territory, Flowers forced himself to become immersed in the culture and began to love Ghana as a second home. Flowers said of Ghana, “I would love to live in a country like Ghana. I really love their world.” For many individuals, the thought of exploring a third world country or stepping out of their comfort zone to help those in need is intimidating. Barriers such as fear, finances, and more, hinder an individual from taking a leap faith. When asked what advice Flowers had for his fellow Phi Kappa Theta brothers, Flowers explained, “I think pretty strongly that first, if it is something as a matter of

GIVING MY LIFE PURPOSE

finance, God will provide. For brothers, there is no better time to go than now. Ghana is a big cultural shock. The kind of help I did there and the people I helped can be found a mile from me now. That should not be taken lightly; it is the mission of Phi Kappa Theta. Ultimately, there is no cost of learning something new, and what I gained is so much higher than doing what is comfortable. Having a purpose in life brings a service to people. You are doing a disservice to yourself by not jumping on opportunities that are given to you.” He encourages his brothers to take the leap of faith and explore opportunities given to everyone. Flowers grabs each opportunity given to him and extends those opportunities to others. His desire to help those in need spread to the development of Gravity, a brand established to support and promote local nonprofits by providing buyers with trendy and quality products. Flowers and Joseph Bradley, a current Phi Kappa Theta at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, co-founded Gravity in their sophomore year of college. While their startup is in the early stages of growth, the timing provides Flowers the opportunity to travel to Ghana again and work with Bradley to revamp the online store. Their goal for Gravity is to allow student graphic

designers to create products that a selected nonprofit could then promote. The proceeds from Gravity’s products would then benefit the nonprofit.

the Arizona Alpha Zeta chapter. His time with the chapter's executive board has granted him opportunities to become more involved in the Fraternity. When we spoke about Phi Kappa Theta’s mission to inspire men to passionately serve society, Fraternity and God, Flowers was grateful for the brotherhood and their encouragement during his mission trips. “When I came back from Ghana, I was welcomed in, guys were open to being emotional, and that comes from being more involved with the fraternity and getting to know your brothers deeper,” Flowers said. During his most recent trip to Ghana, Flowers was technically listed as an "inactive member" on the chapter's roster, but his brothers insisted he stay involved as much as he could.

Flowers said of Gravity, “We want it to bring focus to the nonprofit through a single base. While bringing awareness to these nonprofits.” Flowers continues to attend ASU and investigate his passion for rural medicine and nonprofits. He is currently the Vice President of Spiritual Development for

Flowers said, “It was healthier for me to stay involved with my brothers while in Ghana, because they were my support system. One of the greatest things about Phi Kappa Theta is the organization is full of men with heart. There is a lot of encouragement in that. Our Fraternity breathes the kind of man to encourage others to go out and be of service to others.”

END OF AN ERA

End of an Era After many years of service, Temple Copy Editor Greg Stein (CCNY ’70) has retired. Executive Vice President Rob Riggs (RPI ’02) had resisted accepting his resignation until a new management structure provided a local editor. His reluctance stemmed from Stein’s almost unique fraternal experience, spanning more than 50 years of active involvement.

alumni something or other.” Becoming part of the expansion effort, Greg as an undergraduate participated in four chapter installations. At the LaSalle installation, Greg met Ed Solvibile (Temple ’63) who would become a close friend and the only other alumnus to have a continuous national presence for more than 50 years.

It all started at a Christmas Conclave reception at the New York Eta chapter house in December 1966 attended by Edward Kirchner (Ohio State ’35) and George Uihlein (WPI ’45). Ed said to Greg, “I like the sound of your voice; we’ll appoint you

Greg attended his first of 18 national leadership institutes held in Detroit in 1968. (Since the 1959 merger, the fraternity has had 21 such institutes. Greg was initiated in 1966.) He attended his first of 26 consecutive conventions held in Toronto in 1969.

THE SEVENTIES Greg became National Historian and Northeast Province coordinator in 1970. He was elected a trustee of the Phi Kappa Theta National Foundation in 1971. He reviewed and edited the Phi Kappa archives in Cincinnati and arranged their shipment to Worcester, then site of the national office. He was elected Administrative Vice President of the foundation, serving in that capacity from 1973-1985. It was Greg who proposed changing the fraternity’s motto from, “Loyalty to God and College” to “Give, Expecting Nothing Thereof.” It passed overwhelmingly at the 1973 Atlanta convention. He created the fraternity’s memorial service in 1975 primarily to recognize George Uihlein after his recent death but also all deceased members. This was held at convention at least 16 times. He was actively involved with Ed Solvibile and Andrew McGowan (CCNY’62) in the production of the 20 minute promotional film, “In the Highest Tradition “, which is available on YouTube.

THE EIGHTIES Greg started the Man of Achievement program in 1984. He became TreasurerAdministrator of the Foundation 1985-1987. He started a 35-year relationship with our Iowa Xi chapter at Iowa State University in 1984 when he reconnoitered in Ames looking for a place to spend his sabbatical year. He spent a total of eight semesters as both student and instructor, visits there twice a year and has met every undergraduate initiate since 1984, more than 375 brothers. He served as Dean of the 1986 Leadership Institute in Daytona Beach, arranging scheduling, staffing, catering, etc. He was elected Foundation President and served from 1987 to 1993 in that capacity.

THE NINETIES In 1991, he was presented with the George V. Uihlein award for ‘singular meritorious service’ to the foundation. Greg supervised from a distance the foundation’s first part time foundation employee, David Sternberg (Ohio State’ 91), in the fall of that year. In 1993, he wrote the Graduating Senior Ceremony which was passed at that year’s convention in Pittsburgh. At that convention, Greg was presented with the Fraternity’s Distinguished Service Award. Greg retired as a foundation trustee after 24 years and was elected a Trustee Emeritus. He started copy editing the Temple, a step above the proof reading he had been doing for more than a decade.

THE 2000’S Greg was elected to serve on the fraternity board of trustees filling a vacancy from 2000-2001. He then became a member of the Grand Chapter, entitled to a vote at the convention. He edited for the third time the fraternity’s book of rituals, the Arcana and updated the Ritual Chairman’s manual, which he originally wrote in the ‘70’s. Up until the fall on 2019, he visited Indianapolis twice a year for 3-4 days at a clip to edit the magazine.

ALONG THE WAY With Ed Kirchner, John Cardinal Wright (WPI,’A) and others, he helped initiate Father Donald Wuerl (Fairfield, ‘A), Cardinal Wright’s assistant, in the catacombs underneath St. Agnes church in Rome. Later that same trip, Ed Kirchner and Greg and others had a semi private audience with about 50 other attendees at a Pax Romana event with Pope Paul VI, meeting and shaking his hand. We used to have Golden Circle and Silver Circle certificates for those alumni who were graduates for 50 or 25 years. But in 1987, Greg presented to Gerald Donovan (Brown ’12) a diamond plaque for being an alumnus 75 years. It was doubly significant because Brother Donovan was one of three Brown students who travelled to Champaign, Illinois and met with the Loyola Club at the University of Illinois to form the national fraternity of Phi Kappa. At the Centenary Convention in Providence, Greg introduced Ed Kirchner as Brother of the Century (1989). Greg introduced and presented the Distinguished Service Award posthumously to the family of L. Patrick Hays (Okla. St. ‘53). In 2017, Greg met and shook hands with Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, at the Washington, D.C. convention. For the first time, he was speechless. Greg has met and worked with every fraternity president and every executive vice president since 1965 and literally thousands of Phi Kaps have seen him at national events. Ed Kirchner never did appoint him alumni something or other, but his voice endures. His church choir thinks he is their favorite lector.
