DEAR BROTHERS Knight Commander's Message

“This past spring, the Order’s chapters achieved a 3.0 national grade point average, the second highest in our history.

Our members continue to raise the bar in the classroom.”

KA_Journal_Fall18_C1-C2_01-41_P4.indd 2

During this holiday season, I would like to wish each of you and your families a warm and happy Thanksgiving, and a Merry Christmas.

Kappa Alpha Order is proud of all of its members, and as we prepare for the New Year, we are also celebrating another successfully completed calendar.

The Order, and I, were proud to learn that our undergraduate members again set the bar higher academically. Every chapter is required to submit grade reports for each semester so national staff members and volunteer leaders may compile statistics, assist where needed, and hold chapters accountable. This past spring, the Order’s chapters achieved a 3.0 national grade point average, the second highest in our history. Our members continue to raise the bar in the classroom. These goals are not simply good statistics; we know that graduates must distinguish themselves in many ways, including academically, in order to continue to get ahead in life.

The Order’s 78th Convention will take place within one year from now. In August 2019, we will all travel to the “Big Easy” and celebrate a brotherhood weekend while doing the work of the Order. This will be the fifth Convention to take place in New Orleans, the previous ones being in 1911, 1931, 1973, and most recently, twenty years ago in 1999. On behalf of the Executive Council, K AOEF Board of Trustees, Advisory Council, and the National Staff, we hope to see as many brothers attend as possible.

Once again, brothers, from my family to yours, and from our K A family to yours, I wish you a wonderful extended holiday season and a joyous New Year.

Fraternally,

Recently, the viral #myFraternity campaign was a hit on social media. Fraternity men of all ages and all locations were asked by their national organizations and the North American Intefraternity Conference to share the impact that their fraternity has had on their lives.

I had been reflecting for weeks on what to write and post. The post ended up being too long, and probably still didn’t cover enough people or events. Many people thought I was announcing I was leaving staff—but that was far from the purpose. I was simply trying to connect the dots on my twenty years of membership at all levels. Here is a shortened, edited version, which I hope reads better than my social media stream of consciousness: #myFraternity has given me more opportunities than I dreamed I might ever receive, at every level— from simply being a member, to being in the top chapter in the country, to working for the organization for sixteen years.

Thank you to three high school friends: Tobby Bishop (Delta Alpha– Western Carolina) for inviting me to a rush event, Blake Harrell for coming along, (although he joined Pi Kappa Phi), and, to Christopher Moe, another Pi Kapp, for telling me to give KA a try.

There are too many chapter brothers to name and list, but, I’d start with my spring ’98 class: Brian King, Travis Stephens, Nobuaki Ishikawa, and Jon Esser. From WCU to across the country, these relationships mean the world to me.

A memorable evening was the new member induction my chapter held on September 11, shortly after I spoke to assembled students at our Bell Tower as SGA president.

My great friends from other

fraternities & sororities are important to me as well.

I met my wife, Tracy Elleard Lyons, while she worked for Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity—she edges out everyone else by a margin; it's not easy to explain this/my career track to non-members, so luckily, she got it. The mentors I’ve had are unrivaled, including every Knight Commander, but to name a couple: Dink Warren (federal judge), Mike Duncan (senior ATF agent), and Bill Dreyer (Senior EVP of AT&T), each of whom attended our wedding—not to mention a nearly-two decade long boss like Larry Wiese who is impressive in every sense of the word.

Kappa Alpha Order and my membership in it have provided: confidence, brotherhood, support, leadership, values, connections, travels, career, family, friends, experiences, and more. Each item in that prior list deserves dazzling adjectives attached. But at the core, #myFraternity provides an irreplaceable sense of belonging that is forged, exists, and then endures in a way that is unmatched in other opportunities. Thank you to my parents for putting me through college.

To KA—thank you for taking this small-, mountain-town kid everywhere. (Oh, and for all the fun. It sure is a lot of fun).

I hope your memories of Kappa Alpha Order are warm, fond, and impactful. Please continue to share them using the #myFraternity hashtag.

ONE QUESTION

What did you enjoy most in attending the 22nd Annual Bid for Brotherhood?

“I most enjoyed catching up with old acquaintances and meeting new brothers. I also got to meet Idris Traylor for the first time who was the Knight Commander when I was an undergraduate. And certainly watching the bidding war for the jeweled badge was exciting.” c c 1stSgt Andrew C. West, USMC (Epsilon–Emory ’90)

“I enjoyed the B4B because I was able to bring my two real brothers, Don and Mark, both Theta Commission initiates.

I enjoyed taking something home that was unique and a pleasant reminder of a fine evening of fellowship and brotherhood.”

“I thought the College Football Hall of Fame provided a stunning backdrop for this year’s Bid for Brotherhood auction!

The setting was very ‘collegiate’ and really helped set the mood to encourage brothers and friends of the Order to financially support their college fraternity.”

“I always enjoy attending Bid for Brotherhood. I attended the very first one in Kansas City in 1998 and almost every one since then. It’s great to see KA brothers from across the country; I always look forward to seeing what’s up for auction (I got tickets to The Masters one year).”

FOLLOW UP SUMMER 2018 EDITOR'S CORRECTIONS The volume for the summer issue should have been CXXV. The photo on page 40/41 should have been attributed to William Jewell–Alpha Delta” In the Chapter Eternal department, the editor incorrectly typed “Bowen” instead of “Bowers” for the late Dr. James L. Bowers.

Dr. Bowers always said “Excellence is not our aim, we ARE excellent,” among a variety of other colloquialisms. The editor regrets this error and genuinely misses Dr. Bowers, who was a very special man.

In addition, the editor regrets listing William A. “Bill” Wood as our founder’s greatgrandson. Having known Bill for years, I am certain he is indeed the grandson of James Ward Wood. And one great brother.

Finally, it was reported that the Order would recolonize the Beta Gamma Chapter at the College of Charleston in the fall of 2018, but, after rescheduling took place, the effort will begin in the spring of 2019.

LETTERS Dear Editor,

What a terrific job you did with the story of my heart transplant, football experience, and my self-imposed mission to get as many new donors registered to save other lives and enhance the lives of so many more.

One day, you will be able to look back on all your hard work and wonder (ponder) how many lives you have touched.

You’re a KA all right—and an outstanding example for those young men who are waiting their turn to follow in your footsteps.

Have a blessed life!!

Love the cover weight.

It’s a little on the slick side but love the texture and that it is different. Love the design, departments and the font choices and guidelines. Lose the sketches though.

It really speaks to ... and powerfully represents ... the great organization we have. Superb!

WHO ARE YOU?

Dr. Robin Havers (Alpha Eta–Westminster ’14) President, George C. Marshall Foundation Dr. Rob Havers (Alpha Eta–Westminster ’14) has been president of the George C. Marshall Foundation, in Lexington, Virginia, since May 2014. He came to his post from his previous position as executive director of The National Churchill Museum and vice president for the Churchill Institute at Westminster College, located in Fulton, Missouri.

It was at Westminster where he developed a relationship with then Province Commander Dr. James M. Schmuck (Alpha Eta–Westminster ’66), who is now a member of the Executive Council.

He began to know many KAs in this role and

was elected to join the Order by the chapter.

Dr. Havers’s leadership in support of our own George C. Marshall’s (Beta Commission–VMI 1901) legacy ensures future generations learn of this important figure in American and world history.

He has previously served as a Fulbright-Robertson visiting professor at Westminster College, a professor of War Studies at Sandhurst, and has taught at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Cambridge. He graduated

from Queen Mary College, University of London with a bachelor’s degree in history and politics; London School of Economics and Political Science with a master’s degree in later modern British history and Pembroke College of the University of the Cambridge with a Ph.D.

What is the latest most fun thing you’ve done, and why?

A trip to Turkey. It was a first-time visit and the first time in a long time I did nothing (other than swim and read).

What is your favorite item in the Marshall Museum/Library and why?

The gold-plated typewriter, a gift to Marshall from the Overseas Press Club of America and one that they hoped would encourage him to write his memoirs (as well as earn himself a substantial advance, the “gold” being a heavy hint at the financial reward such a book might engender).

Marshall, being Marshall, resisted the temptation.

What are you most proud of right now, and why?

Alice and Olivia, my two daughters, and my beautiful wife, always.

But special pride, right now, in Alice who is a freshman at Gettysburg College (and is following her old dad in studying History, and then perhaps the Law).

What’s in your DVR queue and why?

Ken Burns, The Vietnam War (in the queue) and The Last Post, currently.

The Last Post was/is a BBC drama about the British in Aden. Aden/ South Arabia was a part of the British Empire that rarely received dramatic coverage, despite the comparatively recent vintage of the British departure.

Dr. Havers is a participant in Forever KA, a Loyal Order member, a member of the KAOEF’s Crimson & Gold Society, and a member of the Samuel Zenas Ammen (Virginia) Court of Honor. The Journal sat down with Dr. Havers to get to know him a little better.

WHY I Tinker I’m a tinkerer. My wife always makes fun of me because I have a box of cables, and I’m always wiring something up somewhere. I’m kind of a dork in that regard.

Now that I’m a parent, my hobbies are whatever the kids’ hobbies are. It’s soccer, it’s piano, it’s band, it’s all this stuff. My daughter was playing Fortnite and begged me for a gaming headphone.

We don’t make a gaming headphone, and I couldn’t let her wear a gaming headphone that wasn’t JLab. So we cut some stuff up and built one up for her, and it’s something that JLab is evaluating for the future.

I think it’s just a release, like cooking, which I also enjoy. You get to start with something and then end up someplace else. You don’t necessarily know what it’s going to do, how it’s going to work, or how you’re going to get there, but the tinkering process is just super enjoyable to me. If it’s hooking up a satellite or wiring together 20 speakers in my back yard, stuff like that is just enjoyable. You just get to geek out a little bit. And at the end of it, I probably learned something.

FROM JOURNALS PAST

The “First” Decade of Development Excerpts from the Spring 1992 issue and Annual Report, highlighting ten years of success since the inception of the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation. The KAOEF laid significant ground work for programs that would evolve to this day, merged with a decades old scholarship organization, and ensured the Order found its way back to Lexington and its birthplace.

10

KA_Journal_Fall18_C1-C2_01-41_P4.indd 10

A Decade of Development In 1981, KA officers, alumni, and staffers met to explore possible methods for improving the Order’s financial security.

From those discussions emerged three major objectives: 1. To ensure that support for existing chapters and the ability to develop new chapters be perpetuated.

2. To increase the Order’s capacity to provide meaningful educational programs and scholarships for undergraduate members.

3. T o locate the national office in surroundings compatible with the Order’s proud traditions and history.

Soon, a charter was drafted and the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation, a charitable entity through which KAs could provide tax-deductible financial support to satisfy these goals, was born.

KAOEF is operated independently of the Order, but its sole purpose is to provide financial support for KA’s goals.

To get the ball rolling, the traditional annual alumni appeal was converted

to a KAOEF fund, raising program, and plans were immediately made to design a major capital campaign that would endow the National Leadership Institute, the chapter consulting system, and a number of scholarships. Also envisioned was the timely acquisition of a permanent headquarters site.

Now, a decade later, we can truly say these objectives have been met.

Furthermore, with the recent merger of the Foundation and the Kappa Alpha Scholarship Fund, we can look forward to an even more effective fund, raising entity and set our sights accordingly. After a decade of development, the Foundation continues to highlight the importance of the educational aspect of KA. Those who have contributed their time and financial support to the work of the Foundation can take much pride in its success.

Every effort must be made to see that the next 10 years are as equally challenging and rewarding.

— J ohn W. Stephenson, President, KAOEF Epsilon ‘67, Emory University Editor: Brother Stephenson remains committed to this day, as a member of the KAOEF’s Crimson & Gold Society.

Merger Benefits Order In the past, KA’s educational mission was carried out through the work of two separate charitable entities, the Kappa Alpha Scholarship Fund and the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation, chartered in 1948 and 1981, respectively.

Now in the Foundation’s 10th anniversary year, a new unity in fundraising efforts has been accomplished with the merger of KASF with KAOEF on Jan. 1, 1992.

This historic merger allows for sweeping changes in streamlined administration, endowment management, funding drives, and the scholarship application process.

For 43 years, KASF served as a catalyst for the Order’s approach to education in a variety of innovative ways. Largely due to encouragement from the KASF board, a minimum grade point average requirement for initiation was established, resulting in increased scholastic achievement by members. The Freshman Scholarship Citation and the Chapter Scholarship Award were both KASF inspirations. To date, approximately 280 young men have benefitted from over $623,000 in scholarships awarded by KASF. Through the “Campaign for KA,” the

F A L L 2 018 | THE K A PPA A LPH A JOUR NA L

KA_Journal_Fall18_C1-C2_01-41_P4.indd 11

Foundation has encouraged alumni to endow a number of educational programs, including scholarships, educational and leadership consultants, the National Leadership Institute, and province councils. With the consolidation of the two charitable corporations, the Foundation will be able to add to these worthwhile programs and events a scholarship endowment of $800,000.

The Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation looks forward to moving through the 1990s and into the next century with the same enthusiasm for academic excellence exhibited by the Kappa Alpha Scholarship Fund and its many loyal supporters since 1948.

— W illiam E. Gamer, Executive Director, KAOEF, Alpha Upsilon ‘81, University of Mississippi Editor: Check out this year’s scholarship receipients and more about the current Crimson & Gold Campaign, beginning on page 42.

A Place to Call Home For all its proud history and many accomplishments, KA alumni, undergraduates, officers, and staffers always felt the Order was missing one essential element – a place to call home.

Although the national administrative office had been located in New Orleans, Atlanta, and Louisville, Ky., over the years, the Order had never occupied a permanent headquarters. Several attempts were made at securing a site in KA’s birthplace of Lexington, Va., but because of logistical and financial constraints, the dream remained unfulfilled. In 1986, the office moved into temporary space in Lexington in anticipation of finding a suitable building. Finally, on Sept. 10, 1990, the quest ended when KAOEF acquired a historic building in the beautiful down­ town area to house the educational interests and programs of the Order.

“This purchase by the Foundation gives the Order the potential to double its office space, plan that space, and restore and maintain a historical property in our birthplace. It will be a facility of which every KA will be proud,” Knight Commander Julian A. Pardini said at that time.

Now, after months of renovation and restoration, the national staff is preparing to move, marking one of the most significant and tangible advances in the Order’s 126-year history.

lmost a year to the day after senior Lins Barwick (Tau–Wake Forest ’15) was

injured in an off-campus armed robbery, I sat in the spacious living room of Farrell Hall waiting to meet him for the first time. I had seen his freshman year photo and had an idea of what he looked like. But as I watched young man after young man traverse the sunlit floor, I was unsure what to expect.

After all, he had suffered a lifethreatening gunshot wound to his abdomen that damaged several vital organs. The bullet that ripped through his belly had lodged near his spine, threatening his ability to walk again.

Would someone need to hold the door? Would he be more comfortable sitting on a couch or in a chair? Would he be limping? Would he even be walking? So many times I had heard people say, “He has a long road ahead.”

Then, through a door held by no one, walked a tall, blond young man, unassisted. Clad in khaki shorts and a t-shirt, he greeted me with a sonorous voice and casually plopped into a chair.

He could have been one of a hundred 21-year-olds fresh out of a summer school class. Had I not known what he had been through, I surely never would have guessed.

“If you take life one step at a time, it makes it a whole lot easier,” Lins said as we began our conversation.

“That’s kind of the whole mindset I had throughout the entire experience.”

he “experience” began in the wee hours of Saturday, June

11, 2016. Lins and friends

had been socializing at his house, just minutes from campus. He offered to walk some female friends home and was returning to his house on the other side of Polo Road when a car drove up alongside him. He vaguely remembers a voice demanding his wallet, then a loud noise. “I don’t remember actually being shot, which is fantastic,” he said. “Your mind does great things.”

He does remember stumbling, vomiting and realizing something was extremely wrong. “I was like, number one, I need to call for help. I couldn’t find my phone, for whatever reason.”

Growing weaker by the moment, Lins saw a nearby house and told himself he was going to knock on the door; he couldn’t move. His memory of what happened next is fuzzy, Lins said, but after what seemed like forever but was actually just a few minutes, a vehicle stopped.

Barwick Gives Back to Disabled Children Lins Barwick (Tau–Wake Forest’15) is the financial coordinator for Challenged Children Foundation International (CCFI), a nonprofit organization founded by his girlfriend Nicole Johnsen. Based in Cape Coast, Ghana, CCFI serves children with disabilities and their families. Barwick said he has long held a passion for helping young disabled people, and his efforts in Ghana helped set the stage for the formation of CCFI. My sophomore year I went abroad to Cape Coast, Ghana, where I worked in a hospital,” he said, “and I met a two-and-a-half-year-old orphan who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, and I started a fund for her called the Angel Komenda Fund. I raised about $27,000 over a period of five months or so for hearing aids, clothing, physical therapy appointments and other things, and was able to get her placed in an orphanage. I went back during this past winter break and my girlfriend Nicole did as well, and after she met Angel, and met other children who were affected by disabilities in Ghana, she decided she wanted to make a difference too, and she started CCFI, which Angel is now represented by.”

With taking trips to Ghana, returning to the States with malaria, and recuperating from a gunshot wound sustained in a 2016 Winston-Salem, North Carolina robbery, Barwick hasn’t been able to complete school at WFU in the normal amount of time, but plans finally to graduate in spring of 2019 with a degree in psychology. He said that KA has been both an inspiration and a support system for him.

“The reason I went to Ghana in the first place was to do what KA is about, serving people and so many other things KA teaches,” he said. “I had such a great support group of fraternity members, and I didn’t feel like if I went abroad and missed a semester of college, that I would have to come back without seeing them for four or five months and tack on another semester after everybody graduated, at no time did I feel like that was a negative thing at all, because I had a group of people that I could count on.”

Barwick said that CCFI is always in need of support, and encourages his KA brothers to visit www.challengedchildren.org for more information about CCFI, or to make a donation to benefit disabled children in Ghana.

Joseph C. Murphy, Jr. Appointed First Asst. U.S. Attorney GAMMA OMICRON–LAMBUTH

U.S. Attorney D. Michael Dunavant has announced that Joseph C. Murphy, Jr. (Gamma Omicron–Lambuth ’77) has been appointed First Assistant United States Attorney, Western District of Tennessee, based out of the Memphis U.S. Attorney’s office. Since 1989 Murphy has served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney out of that same office, where he has worked as chief of the office’s criminal division and as chief of the organized crime and drug enforcement task force, supervising attorneys and support personnel investigating and prosecuting violations of federal drug, money laundering, and firearms laws.

Da-na-na Da-na-na ZETA PHI–HIGH POINT

Zachary J. Astran (Zeta

Murphy graduated from Lambuth College in Jackson, Tennessee, and the Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law at the University of Memphis. He has tried an estimated 125 felony cases to verdict in federal court, and has represented the government

in over 200 cases litigated before the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, arguing nearly 50 cases before that court.

In a press release, Dunavant said, “With over 29 years’ experience in the United States Attorney’s Office, including service as Criminal Division Chief and OCDETF Chief, Joe Murphy is well prepared to assume the duties of First Assistant United States Attorney.

Memphis Alumni Raise $27k for MDA in Memory of Cliff Davis GAMMA GAMMA–MEMPHIS

On May 4, 2018, alumni of the Gamma Gamma Chapter at the University of Memphis held their inaugural Cliff Davis Memorial Golf Tournament to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). The tournament was held at Cherokee Golf Club in Olive Branch, Mississippi.

Clifford Young “Cliff” Davis (Gamma Gamma–Memphis ’84) served two terms as Number I of the Gamma Gamma Chapter during his college tenure. In March of 2016, after a distinguished career in business for more than 20 years, Cliff passed away after battling a long illness. Cliff was highly respected both in his college days as well as his years as a co-worker to many.

Most importantly, the Gamma Gamma alumni were able to raise more than $27,000 for MDA. Overall, it was a great day for Misteria Derung and her team at MDA. It was also a great day for alumni of Gamma Gamma to strengthen relationships, entertain clients and vendors, meet younger and older brothers, bring back old memories, and make new ones.

OMICRON–TEXAS

A Kappa Alpha brother who was a member of America’s Greatest Generation, an author, and a legendary supporter of his alma mater’s football team, died on July 29 at age 93 at his Tarrytown, Texas home. Franklin W. Denius (Omicron–Texas ’46) was the epitome of a KA brother and gentleman, defending and supporting those in need while living every second of his life to the fullest.

The Texas Longhorns’ special teams at the University of Texas are called “The Special Forces” in honor of Denius, a long-time supporter of the football team who, legend has it, attended more Longhorn football games and practices than any coach over more than 70 years.

The Longhorns practice on fields named in his honor on land donated by the Cain Foundation, the non-profit philanthropic organization that Denius was the director of, and which was started by his uncle Wofford Cain.

Denius, Renowned Longhorns Booster and War Hero, Passes

“Frank Denius was the ultimate Longhorn,” said UT President Gregory L. Fenves.

Denius was a hero of World War II who received two Purple Hearts, four Silver Stars and a Presidential Unit Citation. After the war he graduated from UT with a degree in business and from the UT Law School in 1949. He then joined one of Austin’s leading law firms, spending nearly 30 years with the firm before entering private practice, where he specialized in representing utility and oil and gas companies before the Texas Railroad Commission. He was a longtime president of Southern Union Gas and director of JP Morgan Chase Bank.

In his book On the Way: My Life and Times, Denius recounted how Texas operated in Lyndon Johnson’s prime, and described his role in helping build a regional university into a global leader. He was the father of Wofford Denius (Omicron–Texas ’71), a prominent Los Angeles entertainment attorney.

Ben Oldham’s Career Culminates in SEC Post BETA DELTA–GEORGETOWN

Many KA brothers have excelled in careers involving athletics and academics, but perhaps none have achieved what Ben Oldham (Beta Delta–Georgetown ’63) has achieved in both fields.

The lifelong Kentucky resident graduated from Georgetown College with a physics major and mathematics minor, beginning his career as a physics teacher at Tates Creek High School in Fayette County, where he also coached track and cross country, with his 1973 track team winning the KHSAA state championship. He then became the Director of Research and Statistics for the Fayette County central office, while completing his doctorate in educational measurement from the University of Kentucky.

In 1993 Georgetown asked Oldham to assume the role of Dean of Education. He was then named Director of Athletics at Georgetown for two years, and during that period the football team won two NAIA National Championships without losing a single game. He was then named the Associate Vice President for Academic Programs, an office he held until his retirement. Meanwhile, his passion for athletics led him to serve serve as a replay official and technical advisor for the SEC for nearly four decades, officiating more than 20 NCAA bowl games including the Cotton Bowl, Orange Bowl (twice), and Rose Bowl (twice), and 5 SEC Championship games.

Oldham’s experience and reputation led to the SEC announcing in 2016 that he would assume the newly-created role of Coordinator of Football Replay for the 2016 football season, reporting to the SEC Coordinator of Football Officials to help provide oversight for the conference’s instant replay process, including the then-new collaborative instant replay system. Ben Oldham’s love for athletics and academics, as well as for the young men he has taught and guided, has made him a legendary role model to be admired and emulated both on the field and off.

Recipe for Success DELTA LAMBDA–MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE

Chef Mike Shetsky (Delta Lambda– Middle Tennessee State ’07) has risen through the ranks of culinary excellence to claim a coveted role as executive chef. Although his career has taken him to restaurants across the country, he began his climb to the top chef spot during his days at MTSU. “While in KA I did all the culinary events,” said Shetsky. “We won our annual wing fling (chicken wing cooking contest) 4 years in a row, and I always got involved in any other events that needed someone to cook.”

Mike’s passion for cooking, inspired by his grandmother’s career as a chef, led him to become executive chef at SER, a premiere steak restaurant atop the Hilton Anatole’s 27th floor in Dallas.

In 2017, Mike took home the Top Chef Award at Dining Out in Dallas.

His path continues to take shape as recently accepted the executive chef role at Jeff Ruby’s Steakhouse in Nashville, Tennessee.

teve (Alpha Pi–Stanford ’79) and I met in 1980, during the fall of our senior year. We were introduced by a mutual friend while working at the Stanford Daily, and I think we each had an inkling that it was forever. Especially after our first date. We’d often argue over it, but neither of us really remembered who kissed whom first as we sat on the swing outside the eating clubs at a “hostage party” during the Iran hostage crisis. (Typical Stanford party — fun but in bad taste.)

I didn’t know it when I met him, but Steve was president of his fraternity, Kappa Alpha. I made fun

of the “brothers” and their secret words and handshakes. I spent most of my senior year at the Kappa Alpha house, even when Steve wasn’t there. He liked to say that our first date was on a Thursday and I moved in on Saturday. It was during this time that I first witnessed the closeness of these men. It moved beyond the frivolity of everyday life, extending to my friends and me with no strings attached.

After Stanford, Steve and I went on to live in San Francisco with our best friend; one of Steve’s Kappa Alpha brothers, he was the one who had introduced us at the Daily.

When Steve moved to Los Angeles to attend law school, I stayed in the City and found safety in rooming with a few of the brothers, who by then had become close friends of mine too. At our wedding, a few years later, the KAs serenaded me with “My Kappa Alpha Rose,” forming a line to hand me a rose and give me a kiss on the cheek. I again laughed at the word “brotherhood” W W W.

being bandied about.

As our family grew, so did our connections with the fraternity. As they were growing up, our four children often found common ground with other Kappa Alpha kids — after all, their fathers were “brothers.” And some of those brothers have served as godfather to our now-adult kids, Scott (27), Emily (25), Amy (23) and Jenny (20). Without hesitation, and often on short notice, these men have offered them career guidance and shared industry

Not since my wedding day had I felt so loved and so safe. Those brothers embraced me, my family and our sorrow, and they somehow turned it into joy.

knowledge, as well as assistance with introductions, job interviews and anything else they’ve needed.

In February of 2016, in an unforeseen and out-of-character event, Steve took his own life. Everyone who knew him was blindsided. The kids and I struggled to figure out why — to somehow find meaning in his actions. I searched my soul wondering how this person I knew better than anyone else, my best friend and love for 36 years, could do this. I had no clue that he would make this choice, or that he had any reason to do so. Anyone who knew him would say the same — they never would’ve imagined Steve would end his life.

As the news spread, we received an outpouring of love and support from around the world, and while not all the sympathies came from Kappa Alphas, a good number of them did. We were visited by some of the brothers in the first few days. A large group even surrendered spending Father’s Day with their own families so that they could complete a fishing trip that Steve had

organized and had planned to take with our son. They could easily have folded on that trip, but they kept their pledge to Steve.

At Steve’s life celebration, two of his Kappa Alpha brothers spoke. As they talked about Steve, it was apparent that these two men, Dave Zaro (Alpha Pi–Stanford ’79), and Jim Hine (Alpha Pi– Stanford ’78), were his brothers in every sense of the word. They knew Steve and loved him profoundly — the way family members love one another.

There must have been nearly 100 Kappa Alpha brothers in attendance.

Many had traveled across the country to be there. Not since my wedding day had I felt so loved and so safe. Those brothers embraced me, my family and our sorrow, and they somehow turned it into joy. Many of us cried, but everyone laughed at some point about one event or another in Steve’s life.

Steve’s Kappa Alpha brothers deserve recognition. And I extend it to other fraternities that offer this closeness to men. Men by nature seem more reticent to surrender their emotions to others, and fraternities allow them a place to do it, even if they don’t recognize that at the time.

Today, as I navigate the rest of my life, I am grateful for the band of Kappa Alpha brothers who knew Steve so well. They continue to check in and lift me up. They remind me of everything that was good about Steve, and they help keep his memory alive for our family.

“Flowers are a beautiful conveyance of love and sympathy, but wither.

Love and sympathy expressed through our scholarship fund, is life.”

Today, the Kappa Alpha Order Education Foundation’s recognition program receives tax-deductible donations “In Honor” or “In Memory” of anyone and from anyone.

Generally, one brother makes a donation in

significance; or one may make a donation in memory of a beloved brother, in lieu of flowers or some other recognition.

Gifts count toward a member’s annual giving level and typically are unrestricted (but not required).

Through October 10, 2018

Omicron–Texas ’57

Beta Omega–Washington College ’57

Alabama–Alpha Beta

Franklin “Frank” William Maresh, former Chairman and President of the Kappa Alpha Order Educational Foundation (KAOEF), passed away on Tuesday, October 2, at the age of seventynine in Kerrville, Texas, with his children near him.

Frank attended the University of Texas at Austin earning a B.B.A. with Honors in Accounting and a Master of Professional Accounting with highest honors. While at the University, Frank joined Omicron Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order and the Silver Spurs Service Organization, and served as President of the McCombs School of Business student body. Upon completing his Master’s degree in 1962, Frank joined Peat Marwick Mitchell (subsequently KPMG) in Houston. He spent more than 30 years with KPMG, during which time he served on the Board of Directors, as Managing Partner of the Houston office and Southwest Region of the U.S., and, ultimately as Vice Chairman of the firm.

He proudly supported the University of Texas and gave his time and expertise in many capacities. He was recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus of the McCombs School of Business and was inducted into the University of Texas Business Hall of Fame. Frank was appointed by then Governor Ann Richards to the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy where he served as Chairman.

Frank served on the Board of Trustees of the KAOEF first from 1997-1999. He then served as Vice President from 2000-2002 and as Chairman and President from 2003 to 2007. He returned as a Trustee for continued service from 2007-2009, and in 2012. In 2004, for excellence in leadership and service, then Knight Commander Ben W. Satcher, Jr., awarded him the Knight Commander’s Accolade. He was a member of the Walsh Court of Honor and was a Crimson & Gold Society member when he passed.

Frank was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Mollie Burnham Maresh.

His experience was invaluable as a long-time member of the KAOEF’s Fundraising and Development committee. In 2004, for his excellence in service and leadership to the Order, he was awarded the Knight Commander’s Accolade by then Knight Commander Ben W. Satcher, Jr. A veteran, Jim’s interment and memorial service will be at Navy Cemetery at Miramar National Cemetery in San Diego, California.

These scholarships have enabled me to earn two degrees in four years, while achieving a 3.93 cumulative GPA and being an active member of KA. I have been able to attend many educational events such as Province Council, the Emerging Leaders Academy, and the Number I's Leadership Institute, all thanks to the support of alumni. I would not have been able to take advantage of these opportunities without these KAOEF scholarships. They have helped meet my financial needs and fund my college endeavors. I will always be extremely grateful to alumni like you who made these scholarships possible. My college experience has been richer, fuller, and more memorable because of Kappa Alpha Order and I look forward to the day when I too can pay it forward." – JOE BLANK, DELTA PI, FORMER NUMBER I

Internships

THE E. FLEMING MASON MEMORIAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM The E. Fleming Mason Memorial Internship Program was created to provide deserving undergraduates with the opportunity to become better educated and informed on both the public and private sectors of our national government. In addition, this program will give undergraduates the opportunity to gain professional work experience while living in the Washington, D.C. area. The Internship Program provides a once in a lifetime opportunity to any interested Kappa Alpha Order undergraduate. The internship, living and working in Washington, D.C., and interacting with other interns from across the country, provides an everlasting experience.

Gage A. Dabin (Alpha Iota–Centenary ’14) Internship: Senator John Kennedy (LA)

Damian C. Doolittle (Zeta Psi–Campbell ’17) Internship: Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-32) and Congressman Robert Pittenger (NC-9)

To help fund this unparalleled program, please contact Chief Development Officer and Former Knight Commander Ben W. Satcher Jr., at (540) 463-1865, or bsatcher@ka-order.org. If you have any questions about the program itself, please contact Director of Leadership Education Tullis Beasley at (540) 463-1865 or tbeasley@ka-order.org.

Luke E. Hogg (Alpha Zeta–William & Mary ’15) Internship: Congressman Mike Conaway (TX-11)

Jacob A. Seay (Zeta Omega–Coastal Carolina ’17) Internship: Meyers & Associates and Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-8)

Nicholas A. Wollermann (Gamma Eta–Florida State ’14) Internship: Davis & Harman LLP

The E. Fleming Mason DC Internship was easily one of the best experiences I have had as a KA. The internship not only provided me with an unparalleled experience, but also provided me with lifelong friendships. For the duration of the entire internship I had the fortunate ability to work in the office of Senator Kennedy (R-LA). The commute to the Hill could be grueling depending on the weather and the amount of people you were stuck with on the metro. Working on the hill was definitely challenging from having to compile memos for research purposes, to drafting questions for hearings, or gathering necessary signatures for bills that my Senator was trying to have passed over the summer. Outside of the challenges, I loved being able to talk to the constituents from Louisiana, watching the protests first hand to see the first amendment in action, and giving tours of the capital to people of all ages. I even had the luxury of giving a professor and his family from my college a tour of the capital and got him on the Speaker’s Balcony. By working on the hill I was able to create a network of KA alumni and other workers that have helped me transition into the DC area prior to me starting law school at George Mason – Antonin Scalia School of Law." – GAGE DABIN

GIVING TO THEIR OWN CAUSE The Foundation Chapter program is an effort for current active brothers to support the KAOEF, and commit themselves to helping ensure that the programs they currently enjoy and benefit from will continue for future members of their chapter.

Fifteen (15) chapters committed that each brother of theirs would donate $18.65, or more, per man, to the KAOEF this past fiscal year.

Many of these committed in order to support the Day of Giving. These funds are used to support the Order’s leadership programs and training initiatives, and to provide scholarship dollars to our active brothers.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR TODAY’S CRIMSON & GOLD The future is bright…because of brothers like you.

The KAOEF has completed year two of our Crimson & Gold Campaign. The goal is to secure 1,000 donors at the unrestricted, annual level of $1,000. Help the KAOEF achieve this goal by renewing today and challenging other brothers to join as well.

With this support we continue to make a positive difference in the lives of our undergraduate brothers. Therefore, we hope everyone will continue to support the KAOEF's effort to provide much needed scholarships and leadership education to our undergraduate members.

DE AR BROTHER S, The 1865 Trust recognizes the generosity and foresight of those of you who choose to embrace the vision of KA’s future by making a meaningful planned gift to the KAOEF. Your entrance into the 1865 Trust bears powerful testimony to the charitable expressions of your values, ideals, and commitment to Kappa Alpha Order’s future. Membership in the 1865 Trust is obtained when provisions for a planned gift of $10,000 or more are made to the KAOEF. This past year the Trust welcomed three (3) new members to its ranks.

There have been 175 brothers join the Trust since it was created in 1992 and we continue the quest to encourage brothers to leave a legacy to Kappa Alpha Order so that future generations of young men will have the same great opportunities that each of us have experienced.

In closing, I cannot emphasize more strongly how important it is that we are all committed. If you have any questions about the 1865 Trust, or if you wish to join the ranks of 175 other KA brothers who are already members, please contact Ben Satcher, Chief Development Officer, either by phone, (540) 460-4148, or by e-mail, bsatcher@ka-order.org.

Thank you for your continued support of the Order, and for making Kappa Alpha Order a lifelong commitment.

Fraternally yours,

Idris Rhea Traylor Jr. Former Knight Commander/Chairman, 1865 Trust

Forever KA

KEEP THE CONNECTION FOR LIFE No matter how your life has been impacted by Kappa Alpha Order, we’d like to introduce you to a way that your brothers are helping future brothers have the same wonderful experience: Forever KA. Forever KA is not a giving society; it is an opportunity for Kappa Alpha alumni to stay connected for life by a gift of only $18.65 per month. With your support we can continue to enrich the lives of so many.

Each year, when an active member becomes an alumnus, they are invited to become Forever KA. It is the KAOEF’s aim to make sure that every new alumnus remains connected and begins a lifetime of giving back to their Order.

Each Forever KA participant receives a subscription to The Kappa Alpha Journal throughout their participation in Forever KA.

Pull Together for Kappa Alpha! #Pull4KA In the KAOEF’s third Day of Giving event, another success was found as brothers around the world heeded the supportive words of our Chief Founder, James Ward Wood. “Let us pull together and pull hard…”

The “Pull 4 KA” Day of Giving, held on December 21, 2017, was a major challenge among chapters and alumni to see just which group could raise the most money for scholarships, internships leadership education, and to support the Order.

Annual Giving The KA Leadership Fund assists our members with the rising costs of higher education and provides the resources necessary to be successful in life. In part, it supports our unrestricted funds, scholarships, internship program, and leadership education program.

The KAOEF asks alumni to contribute annually, and it is through your generosity that these programs, which benefit our undergraduate members, are supported. Our hope is that every KA will annually contribute to the KA Leadership Fund and we humbly ask for your support.

Membership in the Crimson & Gold Society is reserved for those who make an unrestricted gift of $1,000 or more in a fiscal year. The Knight Commander’s Society and George C. Marshall Society include Crimson & Gold donors as well as those who have made restricted gifts. * This list and the Donor Summary on page 64 are based on gifts received from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018.

Aim High Commission established for the Air Force Academy A group of Denver KA alumni have organized an effort to further the Order’s Commission program.

Following the Order’s Constitution and Bylaws, the brothers petitioned the Knight Commander to establish a Commission to elect graduates, faculty, staff, and administrators to membership in Kappa Alpha Order. The Advisory Council of the Order voted unanimously at their annual meeting to authorize the Knight Commander to create this entity.

A “Commission” is an equal substitute where an Active Chapter cannot be placed. The first KA commission was established formally in 1915 to replace VMI’s Beta Chapter. VMI prohibited

fraternities from operating with cadets on and off Post. Commissions allow the KA “tradition” to continue for these schools while not interfering with the daily military structure or violating school policy regarding fraternities.

Commissions are appointed “boards” of alumni, selected by the Knight Commander, for the primary purpose of electing current and prior year graduates. They may also elect faculty, staff, and administrators of the institution to which they are assigned. Commissions may be established for any institution where the Order has previously had an Active Chapter, or for any of the U.S. federal military service academies.

The event was held at the Sigma Nu National Headquarters as part of the beginning of their 150th Anniversary Celebrations. In recognition of Lexington Triad camaraderie and cooperation, Wynn Smiley, CEO for Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity, was also recognized with this honor.

The Medallion of Merit was created in 2000 as a means of honoring an individual who “exemplifies eminence in his daily life as expressed by the Creed of Sigma Nu Fraternity, who demonstrates a genuine commitment to the ideals of the Legion of Honor and whose pattern of performance is a worthy example or model for others to follow.” It is presented to a man or woman whose excellence and leadership in daily life demonstrate the Creed of Sigma Nu Fraternity and set a worthy example for others.

Courts of Honor The Order’s system of Provincial Courts of Honor is unique in the system of American college fraternities. It was first introduced at the fifth Province Council, in 1930, by Commander Frank Hammett Myers, Commander of the James Ward Wood Province. For insignia, each Court uses its own Provincial Cross with its own distinct colors. The purpose of the Courts of Honor is to recognize and acknowledge alumni for their continued interest, support, and participation in the Order, its active or alumni chapters, and their capacity to stimulate the expansion and prestige of the fraternity. The Courts of Honor hold an annual meeting, and dinner or event, to nominate new members and make plans for the events of the upcoming year. A new inductee is presented with a Court of Honor jewel along with a certificate of membership. The official colors and names of each province are established by the Knight Commander.

O

ne of the things that I love most about working for the Order is getting to interact with our undergraduate members every day. I love seeing first-hand how their K A experience is helping to shape the man and leader they will become. I often get the opportunity to meet undergraduate members of other fraternities around the country and although they are fine young men, and I am admittedly bias, you can usually pick the K As out of a crowd. K A attracts a different kind of man, someone who values respect for himself and others and someone who

embraces the traditional manners and values that his parents sent him to school with. I say all of that to set the stage for my next comment; most of the undergraduates that I interact with are very polite young men who know how to interact with adults in a respectful manner, even if they don’t agree with what the person of authority is telling them. If you ask any undergraduate member of a fraternity how they honestly feel about their fraternity’s national office or “Nationals,” you will likely hear some unflattering responses. I come to work every day with the goal of trying to change that often

misguided perception about “Nationals.” If you ask any member of K A’s national staff what their primary duty is, they will tell you that it is to support and be a resource for our undergraduate members.

My goal is to have every undergraduate member know that the Order is here to encourage them, support them, provide opportunities for them to grow and develop and yes, hold them accountable when necessary.

We often take an introspective look at the level of support and resources that we provide our undergraduate members. Although, I truly believe that K A proW W W. K A P PA A L P H AO R D E R .O R G

vides the best support of any national fraternity, we can always do better.

After recently evaluating our resources that we provide our chapters, we identified several areas where we felt additional resources would be beneficial. These areas of operations include philanthropy, recruitment, mental health and leadership development.

As a result, the Order is excited to announce

The Order is here to encourage undergraduates, support them, provide opportunities for them to grow and develop and yes, hold them accountable when necessary. four new partnerships, the redesign of the Crusade program and a restructuring of our annual chapter visit format.

We believe that these additional services will further enhance every undergraduate members’ experience and help the Order continue to set the standard in leadership education.

These are provided as a benefit of membership and by support from the K AOEF.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT The Crusade. Online modules for Phase I and II of The Crusade are now fully launched and are required for all first and second year members. Phase I supplements new member education and reinforces the key concepts included in The Varlet. Phase II supplements Council of Honor and focuses on Kappa Alpha Laws, values, and risk management education. Phases III, an emphasis on leaderhip, will launch in fall 2018 and Phase IV, focused on becoming an alumnus, will launch in fall 2019, and will be required for all third and fourth year members.

The Birkman Method is a comprehensive personality assessment that allows individuals to better understand themselves and how to better relate and work with others. KA is the only fraternity that provides the Birkman Assessment to all members as a benefit of membership. The Birkman is considered the most in-depth personality assessment available.

Beginning this fall, Associate Directors (formerly ELCs and Traveling Chapter Advisors) will conduct restructured annual chapter visits. They will consist of two, two-hour strategic goal setting sessions with all chapter officers in addition to individual meetings with the Number I, II, VI and VIII. Additional officer meetings may be required based on chapter needs.

The ADCS/ADCD will be available to meet individually with any additional officer that requests a meeting and will host “office hours”

throughout the visit. A comprehensive strategic goal setting report will be developed that will be accessible, updated, and transitioned to the next chapter officers. Finally, the risk management policy review during the chapter meeting will be facilitated by the ADCS/ ADCD in a case study format.

SIR,YOU ARE A KA

A candid conversation with a member of our Order

KA to the MAC

Jeffery R. “Mac” McIntosh THETA–KENTUCKY ‘82

Candler Candler Court Registrar, House Corporation, and KAOEF Supporter

“KA is our rallying point, our anchor”

Mac is the kind of brother that doesn’t just do one thing. He falls in the category of “all of the above.” While maintaining a nationally-recognized insurance agency, he dabbles in horse racing, runs the KA Alumni Golf Outing (20+ years), and serves as Candler Court of Honor Registrar. This year, he even planned the Theta (Kentucky) Chapter’s 125th Anniversary.

Q: Tell us about your family.

Q: What led you to a career in insurance?

My wife Sheila and I went to high school and college together, but never dated. We met by chance at Keeneland (Race Park) and hit it off. We named our first daughter Keene for Keeneland.

Our next daughter, Sydney, is now a freshman at UK.

I am an accidental insurance agent. I graduated with a concentration in psychology and sociology, but my dad was a vice president of an insurance company. I really didn’t know anything about insurance. When I graduated my dad suggested I try being an insurance agent and for the last 31 years that’s what I have been.

is all around me, and being a Kentuckian, I wanted to learn more, so, what better way than dive in!

Q: Do you have any K A names for horses?

No, at 10% you don’t get to name the horse!

Q: W hat other K As have you connected with in the horse business?

Q: W hat do you do in your community?

I’ve met a number, including Craig Robertson (Theta– Kentucky ’87), who had a stake in a horse named Soldat that ran in the 2011 Kentucky Derby.

I’m a blood donor. My mom had 4 kids all by C-section.

When she had my youngest sister, she almost bleed to death. To date I have donated 16 gallons (128 pints) of whole blood because no one should have to grow up without a mom.

Q: W hy are you proud to be a K A?

Q: H ow are you involved in the horse business?

I have owned 10% of two race horses; currently I have a colt named Aether who I don’t think likes to run, at least not so far. He is a beautiful horse.

I’m really only dipping a toe in the horse business. Since it 80

KA is what we make it, not just in school but what we do with those friendship for life.

KA is our rallying point, our anchor that holds us together as life drifts us apart. I’m proud to be a KA because I’m proud to know the many KA’s I have called brothers for the past 30-plus years are the friends who have impacted my life.

BACKSTORY

The KA tradition in the Barwick family runs deep. Here is Collins Barwick III, father of the subject of our issue’s feature, Lins, looking a little less serious during his Tau chapter and Wake Forest days—the days that began their family’s KA brotherhood. An anonymous source shared the following: “One of our brothers rappelled from the 4th floor to the 2nd to fill Collins’ room with shredded paper from the college print shop.”
