A WORD OF THANKS

T

hank you. To everyone who has made a gift to the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation in the last fiscal year, I thank you.

Thank you to all who supported our Brotherhood Fund with gifts large and small, that helped us with unrestricted support during the second challenging year of providing a meaningful fraternity experience through the many obstacles of a global pandemic.

Members of the Boles Society who give at least $1000 per year are listed on page 8. A very special thank you goes out to you who support the Foundation in such significant ways. I’m excited to announce the creation of a brand-new recognition token, which we will distribute to our Boles Society members to reinforce our appreciation for your major gifts.

Thank you for your support of Chapter Educational Grant Funds, which help each of our chapters to provide scholarships, take advantage of educational programming, and make improvements to educational facilities.

Thank you to our chapters, individual members and friends who support our national philanthropy, SeriousFun. We expect the coming year to be a record-setting year of giving and volunteering to SeriousFun, as our chapters and the SeriousFun Children’s Network return to post-pandemic normalcy.

Thank you for helping to make our second annual Founders Day of Giving a success.

There’s no better way to celebrate our past than to invest in our future.

Thanks especially to brothers like Jim Bacon, Michigan Tech ’59, who endowed new funds that will be lasting legacies of generosity—supporting our members and chapters. Several new funds created this past year will provide direct financial support to outstanding young leaders who, with their families, can worry a little less about how to handle the cost of a college education.

Thank you for stepping up to make a commitment to educational housing facilities.

You’ll see some of the projects made possible by the generosity of donors featured later in this Annual Report. And several new projects are in offing as our house corporations stive to provide safe, comfortable, and competitive facilities to our housed chapters.

Thank you to our brothers and friends who plan to support the Foundation in your estate plans with a legacy gift from your Will, Trust, life insurance policy or retirement plan with your membership in the Heritage Society. No matter which of the many ways you choose to support our young brothers, I thank you. Your decision to express your strong belief in the lasting values of Phi Kappa Tau brotherhood makes all the difference, and I can’t thank you enough.

Gratefully,

Charles T. Ball Foundation Director

CEMENTING HIS LEGACY

THE LAUREL OF PHI KAPPA TAU OCTOBER 2022 VOL. 108 ISSUE 2

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Dalton Lee, Baldwin Wallace '11

F

or Phi Kappa Tau Foundation Trustee Jim Bacon, Michigan Tech ’59, helping others and giving back to noble causes was not an obligation, but a genuine pleasure. His journey with philanthropy began on a summer day in church. Newly married to his wife, Carol, and just entering the workforce after completing his education at Michigan Tech, Bacon was encouraged to put twenty dollars into the collection plate. At the time, twenty dollars was a hefty donation—the typical being a donation of a buck or two. Putting faith in himself and a higher power, Bacon put in the twenty-dollar bill and never looked back.

That summer, Bacon was working for his father's construction company on a particularly hard job that required a hefty amount of underwater work. It turned out to be the driest summer in the area's history, making the job easier to complete. For Bacon, that was a sign that he had done the right thing.

Hard work seemed to follow Bacon his whole life. Paying his way through college, hitchhiking to and from on breaks, and spending his summers earning enough money to last him the year.

This followed in the pursuit of his education. An outstanding electrical engineering student and brother of Phi Kappa Tau, Bacon made his commitment to academics and our organization clear.

While an undergraduate member, Bacon served as secretary and float chair—netting the first ever victory for Phi Tau in the contest.

After a stint in the Air Force Reserves and a couple of years with American Appraisal, Jim joined his father in business. In the years to

COPY EDITOR Logan Lukacs, Baldwin Wallace '10

come, Bacon and his brother bought the business and renamed it Bolt Construction, successfully growing the Youngstown, Ohio-based business through the remainder of his career.

A founding member of Gamma Alpha Chapter, Bacon is the patriarch of a three-generation Phi Tau family, including his son Jim, Michigan Tech ’81 and his grandson, Nick Hlivak, Michigan Tech ’10. He’s been a loyal supporter of the chapter and attender of their reunions, held every five years. His regular gifts to Gamma Alpha’s Chapter Educational Grant Fund (CEG) have provided funds for several annual scholarships to deserving students.

Earlier this year, Jim Bacon cemented his legacy upon the Gamma Alpha by endowing our largest permanent scholarship benefiting a single chapter. The Bacon-Hlivak Legacy Scholarship Fund will be supporting undergraduate brothers long into the future with at least eleven annual $2,000 scholarships. The first thirteen scholarships were awarded at the final banquet of Gamma Alpha’s 2022 reunion weekend in August. Jim also received the Phi Award for his service to the chapter.

When asked why he had felt compelled to be as generous as he had, Bacon simply stated “it always just felt like the right thing to do.”

N

o program of the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation makes a more direct impact on the lives of individual members than scholarships. Based on individual merit and financial need, in Fiscal Year 2022, the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation offered 20 national scholarships, though the need is much greater.

Foundation scholarships both recognize outstanding individuals and support students in need, reducing the burden on families and reducing the need for additional student loans.

Below are the 2022 scholarship recipients. In addition, we share a more in-depth look at five of the winners.

Included for the first time on this list are our two new scholarships, the Jon F. Hays Scholarship funded by National Councilor Jon Hays, Old Dominion ’07 and the Rosser - Call Volunteer Support Scholarship funded by National SeriousFun Advisor, Mike Rosser, Colorado State ’61.

JONATHON WEBB, IDAHO ’22, JON F. HAYS SCHOLARSHIP FUND Major Mathematics How do you think these funds will impact your upcoming academic year? An extra thousand dollars amounts to a week to ten days of work for me, so these funds will allow me a bit more time and flexibility this year.

What are your plans following the completion of your degree?

To attend graduate school, most likely pursuing a PhD in mathematics.

TREVOR LINN, NEBRASKA WESLEYAN ’20, ROSSER - CALL VOLUNTEER SUPPORT SCHOLARSHIP Major Religion/Philosophy

How do you think these funds will impact your upcoming academic year? These funds will make focusing on school easier than worrying about how much money I will have to take out as a loan for next semester.

What are your plans following the completion of your degree?

Going on to graduate school.

What are your plans following the completion of your degree?

I'm still not sure what I want to do following my completion, but it'll likely involve some postgraduate institution. My work would ideally be related in some way to improving people's health - it might be a Master's of Public Health, PhD track, MD/ DO track, or something else, but my degree can be surprisingly versatile.

Major Microbiology

Major Higher Education Administration (DEd)

How do you think these funds will impact your upcoming academic year? These funds are going to allow me to focus more on extracurriculars and studying instead of employment. After completing a Summer Internship at a lab, I was offered one for the Fall with wages. I plan to switch to a more intellectually involved position in the Spring that will give me course credit instead of wages, and because of these funds, I will have to worry about money a lot less.

How do you think these funds will impact your upcoming academic year? These funds will minimize the stress that comes with paying for my doctorate out of pocket.

What are your plans following the completion of your degree?

I plan to lead a fraternity and sorority community at an institution of higher education and eventually hold upper administration positions in Student Affairs.

How do you think these funds will impact your upcoming academic year? The usage of these funds will impact my school year tremendously. The past couple of years I've had to work the overnight shift at UPS Monday-Friday to help pay for school. This year I have been elected Student Body President and the responsibilities that come with that and working overnights would have caused conflict and a lot of stress. This scholarship will allow me to not have to work at UPS for the year and ensure that my focus on Student Government and my Presidential duties are maximized.

What are your plans following the completion of your degree?

After the completion of my degree, I plan to pursue a career in Corporate Communications and Marketing.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS GROWTH SUMMIT For the first time in over two years, undergraduate and graduate brothers from all over the country joined together with a common goal in mind— continuing to grow our organization and sustaining excellence long into the future. Growth Summit was an in-person educational program, taking place May 26-28 in Fort Worth, Texas, comprised of 81 undergraduate members, Executive Office staff members, graduate volunteers, and members of the National Council. All holding leadership positions within their chapters, the undergraduate brothers were provided valuable breakout sessions on recruitment, retention, and risk prevention.

With the primary focus of the event being to increase chapter size through real tactics, the Growth Summit attendees not only got presentations from graduate members who were successful during their time as undergraduates, but also from peers from our chapters who regularly recruit the largest associate classes. With all the successes over the course of these three days, it was a reminder of the benefits of in-person programming and all that we missed out on over these past couple of years.

[10] THE LAUREL || OCTOBER 2022

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY Leadership Academy returned in triumphant fashion. On Thursday, July 21st of this year, over fifty undergraduate brothers descended upon Oxford, Ohio with the hope of learning skills to carry Phi Kappa Tau into the future.

Upon the hallowed grounds which saw the birth of our organization, these young men were introduced to the program by Educational Deans Guillermo Flores, Southern Illinois ’08, and Chad Warrick, Akron ’08.

HOUSING

When House Becomes

HOME

BY DALTON LEE, BALDWIN WALLACE ’11, AND CHARLIE BALL, MIAMI ’82

O

ne of the most significant ways the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation supports local chapters is through educational housing grants. While the Foundation cannot fund chapter house projects entirely, donors may support portions of chapter houses which are considered educational. Sometimes, this can account for forty percent or more of a house’s construction, renovation and ongoing operating expenses.

For chapters that are housed, having a safe, comfortable facility that is conducive to the living-learning experience of study and chapter activities is a key component to an outstanding Phi Tau experience. First-quality housing also assures the competitiveness of our chapters in recruiting future Men of Distinction. Chapter housing must be competitive with other Greek housing and the increasing variety of college and university housing and dining options.

Kappa House, University of Kentucky

In recent years, the Foundation has played important roles in providing a tax-deductible conduit for contributions to critical housing upgrades and construction projects. The Foundation partnered with two of our oldest chapters, Beta at Ohio University and Gamma at Ohio State to complete significant modernizations and improvements to iconic houses that were showing signs of age and are now providing a competitive edge to those chapters.

KAPPA, UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY At the University of Kentucky, the campaign to build a brandnew Kappa Chapter house began with an unexpected and dramatic challenge from the parents of a new member. Following the chapter’s closure in 1990, the university demolished the distinctive house that had been Kappa’s home since 1966 in order to build a new library. When the chapter was rechartered, they purchased a much smaller house, far away from the prominent location they had enjoyed. Though the chapter prospered, winning the Maxwell Award in 2008, their housing remained uncompetitive with the top UK fraternities.

In 2018, Darryl and Theresa Isaacs, parents of Lee Isaacs, Kentucky ’18, approached the chapter with a challenge to make a major gift toward a new house if it could be completed by their son’s senior year. With the support of the Foundation, the local house corporation, led by Rob Lyons, Kentucky ’96,

For chapters that are housed, having a safe, comfortable facility that is conducive to the livinglearning experience of study and chapter activities is a key component to an outstanding Phi Tau experience. First-quality housing also assures the competitiveness of our chapters in recruiting future Men of Distinction. and Patrick Keal, Kentucky ’04, jumped headlong into architectural design, fundraising and financing to meet the challenge.

Construction of the impressive 55-man house was completed on-time and under budget, despite the constraints of building and occupying a new chapter house in a global pandemic. So far, gifts and pledges from Kappa alumni, parents, and the Isaacs family, which now includes a second Kappa member, Nathaniel, have allowed the Foundation to support about one-third of the $6 million project cost.

HOUSING

UPSILON, NEBRASKA WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY At the Upsilon Chapter at Nebraska Wesleyan University, renovation of their National Register of Historic Places-listed home was spurred by a tragedy. Warren Mattox, Nebraska Wesleyan ’69, recounts the story of the November 17, 2006, fire that broke out in the Upsilon Chapter house, resulting in the death of Ryan Stewart, Nebraska Wesleyan ’06 and the critical injury of three others. Mattox (now Vice Chairman of the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation board) assumed a leadership role in reviving the chapter and rebuilding and improving the historic chapter house. Joined by John Green, Nebraska Wesleyan ’60, Bill Bowmaster, Nebraska Wesleyan ’53, and many other alumni volunteers, the group set out to raise the funds to rebuild.

With the help of capital campaign consultants, Pennington and Company, the group was able to raise an additional $380,000 for their project through the Foundation. Now, as they near their centennial celebration, the men of Upsilon are also celebrating ten years of a fresh start and new home with significant educational and safety improvements.

ALPHA CHI, MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY Barry Toney, Mississippi State ’85, has been the driving force behind the housing project at his chapter. Soon after he graduated, Toney donated to a campaign for a new house

in the early 90’s. Eventually, a house was built on sorority row, but the celebration was short lived. The Alpha Chi Chapter closed in 1997, and the housing corporation was forced to sell the new house. In 2014, the chapter began anew, and Toney got involved with the Board of Governors and the journey to build a new house began.

The re-chartered chapter was able to lease an existing fraternity house in Fall 2017, but with an eye to the longterm security of the chapter, the house corporation began a major fundraising campaign. Campaign chairman, Bill Jones, Mississippi State ’60, has personally made a series of challenge gifts to match the contributions of Alpha Chi members which have resulted in total gifts and pledges of $1.53 million to date. These funds are ready when the house corporation decides to purchase and renovate an existing house or to build new.

Foundation staff are working in partnership with dedicated alumni volunteers from several other chapters who are in the planning stages of housing projects to assure the comfort, safety, and competitiveness of their chapters. To learn more about ways to support your chapter or how chapters can benefit from housing funds at the Foundation, contact Foundation director Charlie Ball at cball@phikappatau.org.

LIFE INSURANCE The gift of life insurance can make a remarkable difference for a relatively small dollar investment in premium payments by you during your lifetime. You can name the Foundation as owner of a policy and, as such, the premiums you pay will qualify as a tax-deductible gift. Or, you can name the Foundation as the beneficiary on an existing policy. Benefits paid form such policies not only generate a substantial gift to the Foundation, but are not taxable as part of your estate.

IRA ROLLOVER The Chairitable IRA Rollover allows individuals over the age of 70½ or older to make direct transfers of up to $100,000 per year from individual retirement accounts to qualified charities without having to count the transfers as income for federal tax purposes.

Since no tax is incurred on the withdraw, gifts do not qualify for a chairtable deducation but may be counted towards an individual’s minimum required distribution.

CORPORATE MATCHING GIFTS Many companies match their employee’s personal charitable contributions. Ask your employer if your company participates in a matching gift program and make the Foundation your non-profit of choice.

PLEDGED GIFTS If you do not have the cash or assets to make an outright gift to the Foundation, you can sign a pledge. This agreement allows you to make a philanthropic commitment to the Foundation and pay the gift over a certain period of time. Foundation policy states that pledges must be more than $5,000 and for no more than five years.

PLANNED GIFTS The Foundation will work with you and your estate planner to design a planned gift that meets your short-term and long-term financial goals. Planned gifts include, but are not limited to, cash, bonds, stock securities, personal properties, retirement plan assets, and insurance policies.

The Phi Kappa Tau Foundation is exempt from federal income tax under section 501C3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
