Acacia Triad - October 1967 - Vol. 62, No. 4

PENN STATE HOUSE

As indicated in the February issue, I am being relieved of my duties as TRIAD Editor in order that all my attention might be directed towards field secretary affairs. I wish to thank the many Acacians who contributed to the TRIAD this past year. The material you submit ted made my job easier and more rewarding. I am now looking forward to continue association with Acacia as a Field Secretary, and will always be grateful for the opportunity of serving as Editor.

Now, it is my pleasure to introduce John W. Hartman, who was appointed Acting Editor by the National Council in July. John is a resident of Oklahoma, where he attended Central State College in Edmond. After joining Acacia at Edmond, John served in several Chapter offices, including Rush Chairman. Before graduating in 1965 with a B.S. in Marketing, he compiled a distinguished list of extra-curricular political and journalistic credits.

These included: Student Body President; Editor of the College Newspaper for two years; President, Pi Delta Epsilon Journalism Fraternity; VicePresident, Oklahoma Collegiate Press Association; to mention but a few. As a result of this enviable record, John appeared in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, l963-64and 1964-65.

Sincerely and Fraternally,

Barry J. Lyerly, Field Secretary Past TRIAD Editor

T PENN STATE The Penn State Chapter of Acacia has set an record and example that all chapters )f Acacia should strive to equal. This issue of fHE TRIAD is featuring that chapter and 'rom information submitted by Tom Haley, ho is chapter TRIAD Correspondent, will the Penn State Chapter starting with lcholarship, which this chapter hails as the ¡ most important aspect of their various ~ctivities.

Scholarship: The Tradition Above everything else, scholarship is first at >enn State Acacia. It is a must for initiation nto the chapter, and it is stressed even stronger vithin the brotherhood. Scholarship is the most :herished tradition of all Acacians, and at P enn ;tate, the chapter takes a gr-eat deal of pride r! making that tradition a reality.

The scholastic efforts have placed it among he top ten of the fraternity system (which 56 houses) for the past five years. The last our years have seen Acacia finish first among he social fraternities for all but four terms, a t which shows Acacia to be consistently the All-Men's average at Penn State.

Rushees of the house must have at least a 2.5 cumulative average (based on a 4.0 scale) before they are considered for admission. A student must get a 2.25 previous term in order to be pledged, and again, a 2.0 previous term to be initiated into the brotherhood. There is a deep unity among the chapter for scholarship, but it is not on an individual basis.

The men are constantly helpmg each other with individual courses, and with such a diversity of majors in the house, the chapter has built up a relatively complete blue book or examination file. Pledges are required to study from 7 to 11 every night, Sunday through Thursday, in order to instill in them the pride the chapter takes in good scholarship.

Individually, several members have done extremely well. Bill Breisch, a senior, ranks number one in the College of Business with better than a 3.8 overall grade average. Another senior, Rich Kohler, has above a 3.8 in pre-med.

Juniors Paul Nelson and Dave Baer have averages above 3.5 as does sophomore Andy Ellsworth. There are numerous other members who have averages above 3.0, and the rushees who accepted bids this past winter have a overall average of 3.1.

Actives and Activities The 70 men of Penn State Acacia show a wide range of interests and activities. The house has always tried to be a campus leader in the various fields open to undergraduate students. Acacians who are prominent on campus include Skip Bealafeld, editor of La Vie, the senior class yearbook; and Ted Lux, past V. D. and a disc jockey on radio station WMAJ in State College.

Jeff Long, current president of both the Liberal Arts Student Council and the Intercollege Council Board (ICCB), is a candidate for the presidency of the student government in the elections to be held this spring. Dave Yagel has been appointed co-chairman of next fall's orientation program for new and first term students. Yagel is also a member of the Engineering Student Council.

Bill Bechtel, Bill Breisch and Andy Ellsworth are on the Fraternity Tribunal. Mike Gehling, a co-chairman for this year's Spring Week Carnival and a member of the Business Student Council, is on the Sophomore Class Advisory Board as is pledge Glen Shee.

Another pledge, Ray Arthur, is on the Science Student Council and Tom Haley is the treasurer of the ICCB. Besides these activities, there are more than 35 brothers in over 20 campus honoraries and clubs, among them Bill Breisch, current president of Omicron Delta Kappa Honorary. There are also five brothers who members of the Penn State Marching Blue Band regarded as one of the top collegiate bands in America.

Social Life Acacia a Penn State enjoys a highly diversified complement of social activities. The house usually entertains four sororities per term at mixers, and it is due largely to the success of these mixers that Acacia has achieved a good social standing on campus. The past social chairman~ Paul Nelson, and the present chairman, Roy Farrell, have combined to make this year's social calendar at Acacia an active one.

Along with the mixers, there are usually no fewer than five parties a term, some of them 4

combines with other fraternities. They are us¡ ually arranged for weekends which do not coin¡ cide with a major function on campus. There is one major costume party each term, such as the "Ubangi Ball" held by last fall's pledge class.

Native type costumes were the required dress and the house was similarly decorated to give the atmosphere of the jungles of Africa. The affair was such a success that it is to become the annual pledge class dance each fall.

The other highlight of the social program is

form.1l held late in the winter term. This .r's theme was a "Night in Oz" with the 11se decorated complete with tin men, scarews and a drawbridge. ~

cabin party is held each term along with annual "Caring" party each spring. These 1irs, especially the latter, are the occasion some of the better moments in the life of ' Penn State Acacian. One prominent feature house social functions is that they are closed. Friends on campus have a standinvitation to all parties .and Alpha Delta Pi ority is using the party room facilities for ir spring pledge formal. ~ total of 13 brothers are currently pinned engaged and each pinmate is traditionally maded by the house choir, a group composed wer two-thirds of the active members under direction of John North. Penn State Acacia ery proud of its choir. A year ago, the choir three first places in the IFC Greek Week Contest. The end of this year's Greek ek was highlighted by a choir performance cia and Delta Delta Delta Sorority.

Athletics Athletics in the chapter is at what is probably an all time high. On the varsity level, a junior, Barry Rounds is on the cross country and track teams while Tom DeHuff, a junior, is on the tennis team and Clark. Meader' a sophomore, is on the fencing team. Rounds currently holds the Penn State indoor record for both the mile and a half and the mile and a quarter, which he set this winter. Meader is number one on the fencing team, and DeHuff is making a strong comeback on the tennis team after being sidelined with mononucleosis last year.

On the intramural level, Acacia is more than holding its own. At the end of the fall term the ' chapter was ranked number one among the 50 competing fraternities in overall athletics a ' position still held at this time. The high ranking is not due to dominance in one field, but a strong showing in most phases of the IM program. For example, last fall the IM football team won its league and made it to university playoff quarter finals before losing to the eventual fraternity winner.

In tennis singles, the chapter made a clean sweep. Each fraternity is allowed to enter two men in this sport. Acacia entered Tom DeHuff and Clark Meader and the two ended up playing each other for the championship, which DeHuff won, so the chapter placed first and second. Both the bowling and basketball teams finished strong, placing second in their leagues.

In wrestling, Acacia had the 158 pound champion in Don Hollinger. It was no easy accomplishment as Hollinger defeated the two time defending champion 6-2 in the finals. Rog Almquist made it to the 167 pound semifinals before losing to the eventual champion. The handball teams also did well in competition.

Studying to attain our most cherished tradition-Scholarship.

This spring looks good for Acacia. They will be strong in tennis doubles, a title taken a year ago. Paul Nelson is the chief competitor in golf and the chapter should be strong in soccer as they have won the soccer title three of the last four years. With the year two-thirds over, Acacia is enjoying one of its strongest athletic years. The spirit and talent of the chapter has combined to make Acacia the fraternity to beat at Penn State this year.

The House The original house which currently holds 68 embers of Acacia, was built in 1925. There td been several previous locations for the mse between the date of the chapter initian, June 9, 1909, and the time the present mse was permanently acquired. The house as originally the barn on a large estate. Much the original wood of the barn is still a part the present structure, which creates a "winter dge" effect. The fraternity was able to house td feed approximately 35-40 men comfort>ly. !However, when the college expanded to a tiversity after 1950, it became obvious that :acia would have to expand along with it. r a time this situation was handled through .e use of additional housing space or annexes. ¡le main house had the facilities to feed everyte, although the members living in the annexes ~nerally did their studying and living there. lit was apparent, however, that this setup uld not last for long, and in 1961, the Chapter umni organization, The Square and Compass, :th the help of architect and alum, Phillip allock, began work on plans for an additional @.Ce for the house. The addition, costing 90,000 and designed in dormitory fashion, lS ready for use in 1964. With the addition, ere is now room to house and feed 70 men.

The house has been able to maintain a strong tancial status, operating on a budget of over 0,000. The last school year budget provided e house with a $2,000 surplus, which gave e chapter an opportunity to sponsor several ecial projects. Among these was the sponrship of an overseas orphan through an inmational agency. lit is difficult to say how long Acacia at Penn ate is going to be number one in scholastics .d athletics along with being strong socially .d in campus activities. One thing is certain, 1wever; there is a tradition and spirit at Penn ate Acacia which will not easily be broken.

Perhaps there is no better time

~ to write an article on the duties and

~ responsibilities of the V~nerable

~ Dean than now-as I am in the ÂŁmidst of preparation for initiation.

I find myself looking back to my own initiation, the feelings of increased responsibility that accompanied the donning of the badge, and later the added appreciation of becoming an officer as Chapter secretary. But none of this can compare with the rewards I have already received in my two months as Venerable Dean.

I was always under the impression that pledging was the period of preparation and learning in our fraternity, but, in truth, the Venerable Dean soon realizes that his office involves an even greater search for knowledge. He sees himself once more as Pythagoras, more so now than ever before.

Performing the duties of Venerable Dean for a fraternity of 60-70 men is a full-time job. By this I do not mean to imply that he has no time for studies, activities and social life. However, he does find himself always thinking about the house, and he must be prepared at all times to handle any matter, large or small, which may arise.

Efficiency Is Key Efficiency is the key when it comes to coping with problems which develop. Much depends on the Venerable Dean's ability to delegate authority and to channel responsibility to his officers. Affairs can be handled more quickly and with better results if he works closely with the officers. He must keep in mind that each and every officer must do his job well if the fraternity is to thrive.

The Venerable Dean desires to have the complete cooperation of the entire chapter, but to achieve this he must first be respected by all.

He must be patient, tactful, and able to control his temper. He should be a good listener and willing to discuss problems which are brought to him by a member. Quick action, not procrastination, wins respect, and

WILLIAM D. DIXON V enerable D ean Penn State As Venerable Dean, I keep in mind that statement given in the installation ceremony: "You have now assumed the duties of the most honorable and perhaps the most trying and arduous office which this order can bestow upon any of its members ... keep ever in mind that the success or failure of this organization during your administration depends upon your ability as its executive officer.... "

Full-Time Responsibility The job of Venerable Dean is not a part-time activity, nor is it filled with glory, but rather it involves a full-time responsibility. The time spent cannot be measured, but what time is devoted to the fraternity is

greatly outweighed by the benefits received.

I have made reference to the rewards to be reaped while performing the duties of Venerable Dean.

Certainly it is true that the more he sows, the more he will reap. The feeling of responsibility is a great feeling-you feel needed and you gain a realization of purpose. The Venerable Dean learns the inside operations of nearly every aspect of the fraternity. His responsibility might be compared to that of being the head of a family-a very large family, I might add. In addition comes the warming sense of pride in serving the brotherhood-a brotherhood which he knows is one of the best.

One Acacian Guides Rescue Of Anothe

AIR MISSION RESULT BROTHER

A bull session following a memorable mission resulted in locating Acacians from the Kansas and Arkansas chapters-sitting next to one another halfway around the world at Pleiku Air Base, Vietnam.

The two Acacians, both Air Force fighter pilots, are not only in the 1st Air Commando Squadron in Viet· nam flying A-lE Skyraiders, but Capt. Edwin R. Max· son, Arkansas #39, is one of six pilots assigned to "C" flight which is commanded by Major Burley 0. Van· dergriff II, Kansas #543. The two Acacians had just flown a mission neither will ever forget.

Maxson, flying as wingman with Vandergriff leading the formation, had been shot down by Viet Gong gun· fire that day, December 30, 1966. On Maxson's call, indicating trouble with his aircraft, Vandergriff told him to bail out as he was on fire. Meanwhile, Maxson was attempting to nurse enough power from the strick· en plane to get to the ocean several miles away in order to facilitate a rescue pickup. Simultaneously with sec· ond call by Vandergriff for him to bail out, Maxson's plane went out of control at a very low altitude. Max· son left the aircraft about 300 feet above the ground, a "one chance in a hundred" altitude. "It was so loW I first thought he went in with the plane," Vandergriff said, "but I saw the chute partially open, then collapse 10

I couldn't learn for some minutes what Ed's conon was, but I could see one of the chopper crewnbers swimming out to him," Vandergriff related. nally, they radioed he was alive and not seriously t , but that there'd be some delay getting him out of water," he added. ~eantime, Maxson found himself in the water alive l in one piece but badly tangled in his parachute mess and shroud lines. "My first thought was to get : and swim to shore some 30 yards away before any · could catch me in the water. I would have been oless as I had lost my pistol in the bailout," he said. m Army sergeant joined him and assisted in freeing L from the entangling harness. One of the two heliters on the scene then towed the pair to shore, where downed pilot was subsequenty flown to the Army e at Phan Thiet, about 100 miles northeast of ~on. Vandergriff made an unscheduled landing to et him there. A quick medical check-up confirmed serious injuries, and after a hearty round of con:. tulations, Maxson and Vandergriff flew back to ·ku .

•s a footnote to the incident, they learned later that ning the helicopter crew, moments after the rescue, killed a six-foot crocodile in the lake a few feet n the spot Maxson had been pulled out.

1andergriff and Maxson are both Master Masons: :1sas 151 and Arkansas 643, respectively. This fact established almost as soon as they met, before xson was assigned to Vandergriff's unit. Vander[ is a 1952 graduate of Kansas University with a ree in personnel management. He is a native of 1glass, Kansas. At K ansas University he was Senior m, and in 1951, V enerable Dean. He was a member D he Student Council and the Greek Political Party, s -~d as Vice President of the Arnold Air Society, ?ident of the Pershing Rifles and secretary of the ta Sigma Pi honorary. <!axson, who was promoted to major this spring, g duated from Arkansas University in 1955 with a d ree in journalism. He calls Canal Point, Florida h 1e. Maxson was Venerable Dean at Arkansas in 1 5 and was also editor of the university newspaper,

the Arkansas Traveler. He is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, and served on the Southwest Conference Sportsmanship Committee.

Both pilots were commissioned as Air Force officers after graduating from AFROTC and both have since won Regular AF commissions. This is the first combat duty for each and both are volunteers for Vietnam duty Vandergriff has flown 180 combat missions and some 450 combat hours, winning the Distinguished Flying Cross and 10 Air Medals.

Maxson, who preceded him to Vietnam by two months, has flown 250 missions and 600 combat hours.

He too has won the Distinguished Flying Cross and 10 Air Medals and was awarded the Purple Heart for injuries sustained when h e was shot down.

DR. S. JUSTUS McKINLEY:

ACACIAN RETIRES from

EMERSON COLLEGE PRESIDENCY

By John Hartman On June 12, 1967, the many friends and colleagues of Dr. S. Justus McKinley gathered to pay tribute to the long-time president of Emerson College of Boston.

The occassion was a reception and dinner to honor Dr. McKinley upon his retirement as president and was sponsored by the Board of Trustees of Emerson.

A member of the Harvard Chapter of Acacia, Dr. McKinley was presented the Order of Pythagoras at the dinner which was held at the Harvard Club of Boston.

Presenting the award was Herbert T. Anderson, also a member of the Harvard Chapter along with other Harvard brothers who attended.

A Prominent Educator Dr. McKinley is a prominent educator who served fifteen years as president of Emerson after first joining the staff in 1933 as a part-time history teacher. When Dr. McKinley became president in 1952, the college had an enrollment of 277. Under his leadership, the enrollment has risen to over one thousand and Emerson has achieved a prominent place among educational institutions of the East.

A private institution founded in 1880, Emerson has grown in the last twenty years from two dilapidated buildings and a women's dormitory to eight buildings plus several men and women's dormitories. Much of this growth was achieved through the leadership of Dr. McKinley.

Dean Pays Tribute Among the tributes paid the Acacian were these w~rds from Richard Pierce, Dean of the College, who

sa1d among other things: " . . . . . it would also be proper to record publicly that history will remember 12

THE TRIAD

you as the one who almost single-handlely saved a small college at the most critical stage in its existence.. .... I should like to give personal testimony to the satisfaction which I have had in working with a leader who has combined wisdom with patience, cour¡ age with caution, and leadership with the ability to inspite initiative."

Dr. McKinley first attended school at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. He then went to Franklin and Marshall College where he received his A.B. degree in 1926. He received his A.M. in 1927 and Ph.D. in 1931 from Harvard University. It was at graduate school at Harvard when he became a member of Acacia.

Career Began at Emerson He began his teaching career at Emerson and held the position of Professor of History until 1946. He was also Dean of Faculty from 1944 to 1946. He then went to Springfield College as Professor of History and Chairman of the Department of Social Sciences. He remained there until 1952 when he returned to Emerson as the new President.

Dr. McKinley holds membership in over 20 societies including Who's Who in America, Who's Who in Amer¡ ican Education, American Academy of Political Science, American Economic Association, American National Theatre and Academy, Boston Art Museum, Harvard Lodge A.F. and F. M . Kipling Society and Kiwanis.

Leadership Activities He is active in various other leadership activities that include: President of the Layman's League of the First Church in Boston; Director of the Institute for Speech

::!orrection; Regional Director of the National Con. of Christians and Jews and is Trustee of the E-vangelical Missionary in Massachusetts, Robins I nsti:ute for Speech Correction and Pierce College of o\thens, Greece.

Dr. S. Justin McKinley has left an example at Emerion College that will be hard to follow. His successor ..vill step into a position that calls for respect, dedica:ion, honor and hard work-the same that this prom.nent Acacian gave and received during his tenure as President of Emerson College.

HOW TO CREATE GOOD ALUMNI RELATIONS

Darrel K. Troxel EDITOR'S NOTE: The following article is written exclusively for "The Triad" by Darrel K. Troxel, Director of Fraternity Affairs at Oklahoma State University. Troxel is well known in fraternity circles as the man who led the Oklahoma State IFC to the top among IFC's across the nation. The OSU IFC was the first to ever win the "Iron Man" trophy two years in a row.

Troxel, an ATO, is a sought after author for articles concerning fraternities. His writings have appeared in "Banta's Greek Exchange" among others. "The Triad" is proud to present this article to the actives and alumni of the fraternity.

Have you ever heard the question: How do you go about creating good alumni relations? It seems to be a very common problem in fraternity chapter houses, and most suggestions are countered with replys such as: "But we sent out a newsletter last year, and didn't get a cent back!"

All too often this tells the story of why our graduate members are disinterested. A rare newsletter, and the key item is an "ingenious" plea for money-a dollar for each year out of school, a buck-a-buck campaign, etc., etc.

A genuine desire to improve the image of the chapter will necessitate a time consuming program.

14

THE TRIAD

Planning a program that will cover a period of one to five years might be a starting point; and if alumni brothers are available, their role as consultants would prove valuable.

The long range program plan should include regular times for publication of newsletters, the content of which should include a balance of chapter activities: short reports on alumni members with longer, feature articles on individuals; a letter from the housemother; major school news; etc. The well planned newsletter should be of interest to any age group, and not designed merely to recount the wonderous performance of the present day chapter or to describe their humorous love affairs.

Very little needs to be said regarding the type of newsletter to be used since cost is most often the determining factor. Most alumni are happy to receive news from their chapters whether it is, finely printed with pictures or simply a mimeographed letter. The major concern is that it should be attractive and easy to read. (Letters printed in the chapter office on mimeographs discarded by some well meaning member do not usually meet this requirement. Too often they are close to illegible.)

The newsletter should be but one point in your over all program, more or less the adhesive that holds the rest of the program together.

The next suggestion is merely a continuation of the newsletter. Each

member and pledge should be assigned a number of alumni names and addresses, and should be made responsible for these people over a period of time. This responsibility might include home town visits, personal letters (for the unimaginative the alumni chairman could furnish a model), and acting as, host on such occasions as homecoming or other times the alumni might be invited. If every graduate brother felt there was even one man in the chapter that he knew, he would feel much freer to drop by when in town.

Has your chapter tried a career day with your own graduates acting as consultants? It can be flattering and beneficial to your alumni as well profitable to your undergraduates. Choose representatives from many fields and have them hold panel discussions and then visit individually with the interested men. Many of these graduates can leave professional literature for the chapter library that will be of continuing assistance to the members.

What about chapter services to alumni? Perhaps you could offer well in advance to purchase tickets to the homecoming game so that they could sit with acquaintances.

Does your school have a traditional "variety show" that could serve as a basis for an alumni weekend? Remembering that many young graduates have children, could baby sitting be provided either at the chapter or at a near-by nursery?

HOUSTON ALUMNI ORGANIZE

Of value to both the chapter and the school is a current address file.

Your alumni office may have some addresses that the chapter is lacking in their file, and also the chapter may be able to furnish some missing addresses to the school.

The following has been voiced so many times that it is a trite, though still unpracticed bit of advice: IAnswer all letters from your alumni ·recommending the names of rushees.

Old chapters in particular cannot give bids to all legacies or friends of alumni, but certainly they can extend them all the courtesies of ·rush. In addition, the parent or friend making the recommendation is entitled to know what action was 1taken. Just a few weeks ago a young ·father was telling me how hurt he •would be if his son should choose another fraternity when he reaches college age. He has already forgotten how strongly he argued against rushing legacies only two years ago!

The chapter needs to take a close .look at what their own feelings will I be in future years and at their obligations to the graduate members, who in many cases have contributed I far more than the men living in the chapter at present.

There are very few good chapters who do not have a good chapteralumni program. They go hand in hand. A chapter seeking to improve itself could well start in this vital area.

Acting President, Dave Standridge addressing association.

In November 1966, Province Governor, Oliver Bruck and Acting Executive Secretary, Harvey Logan, met with Acacians living in the Houston Area for the purpose of establishing the Houston Alumni Association and also a colony at the University of Houston.

At the preliminary meeting, Brother Dave Standridge, Texas, volunteered to be Chairman and to help set up the first official meeting of the association.

On February 15, 1967 it was moved, seconded and passed that the organization be hereafter known as the Houston Alumni Association of Acacia Fraternity.

Forty-one Acacians attended the first meeting, at the Geo Club, representing the Texas, Ohio, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State Chapters.

Province Governor, Olliver Bruck, gave a report on Acacia locally and also on the newly created Acacia Educational Foundation, Inc. Acting Executive Secretary, Harvey Logan, reported on Acacia nationally.

One of the highlights of the evening was the recognition of the high and low roll numbers that were present: Joe J enning No. 569, Texas Chapter and Creston Hutchinson No. 86, Oklahoma A & M respectively. Temporary officers were established until the nominating committee can propose an official slate.

It is planned · by the Houston Alumni Association that monthly meetings be held and that all Acacians in the Houston area will participate, renewing their fraternal ties with Acacia.

THE TRIAD

A fund-raising campaign has begun at Iowa State to raise money to build the Malcom Award-winning Chapter the new house that has been needed for a long time.

Called "This Is It", the campaign began on October 1.

The members of this Acacia Chapter have found that plans for new facilities can not be put off any longer.

The present house, which was built shortly after the First World War, has a capacity of only 32 men. At the same time, the Chapter pledged 30 men this fall and is now in a position where not even all of the pledges can live in the house.

All members are living in the house or one of four annexes that have been necessary to house them for some time. The Chapter has begun the campaign because the members realize that its current high status on campus may be hard to indefinitely maintain in the face of increasing competition with other strong fraternity houses at Iowa State.

The campaign will end on November 30 and the goal is to raise $100,000 toward the total cost of the proposed 50 man house which will be a $250,000 structure. Additional funds needed will be raised by loans and the sale of the present house along with other assets.

Organizers of the "This Is It" campaign have selected class captains and geographical area captains to canvass alumni, clubs, organizations and others associated with Acacia. If the campaign is successful, construction of the new house may start late in the summer of 1968.

Cornell Hosts 60th Year Celebration The Cornell Chapter of Acacia celebrated the 60th Anniversary of their chapter on May 20.

Founded on May 20, 1907, the event attracted alumni from classes as far back as 1918 and from as far away as Dearborn, Michigan.

The current members of the Chapter gave guided tours of the house and campus and attended afternoon athletic events with the returning alumni. A warm, sunny afternoon attributed heavily to the success of the athletic events

OUR FRATERNITY Our lives have all been touched, By common ties of brotherhood; These ties are strong as Acacia, Yet, which only we have understood.

The vows we all did gladly take, Have made the ties much stronger; Not in a way that lessens a man, But makes him wish for life much longer.

May we all live a life of honor~ To bring credit to our Fraternity; This can ever be done with pride, In a spirit of everlasting unity.

-John W. Hartman Triad 1967
