Pi Kapp Joe Sewell, Alabama, 1920, has spent 35 years in baseball and today, at the age of 75, is actively employed as a public relations representative for a dairy corporation. .

Sewell was the first man to go straight to the majors the same year he came out of college. He left the Universtt}' of Alabama in June, 1920, went to New Orleans for about two months and was called up as shortstop for the Cle~e­ land Indians (for whom he played 11 seasons) in time for the pennant. He spent his 21st birthday in a World Ser~s game. "It was a pretty good way to celebrate your birthday," Sewell grins. "I hit a double and a single. Everybo Y was congratulating me but we didn't have time for parties. We were in the middle of the World Series."

Joe batted second in the New York Yankees' line-up before the immortal Babe Ruth for three seasons. He was~ 93 teammate of Ruth's when the UBabe" hit his famous home run off Chicago Cubs pitcher, Charlie Root, in the 1 World Series, but one of Joe's most memorable moments concerned a day when he did some hitting. d _,_ "We were playing the Athletics in New York," Sewell recalled d• "and we were fighting for the pennant. We must have ha 70,000 people· there.

11 "They had come to see Ruth and Lou Gehrig hit that ba · We knew that.

"Lefty Grove was pitching for the Athletics. I got five hits in five times at bat and the last one was a borne .. run into the right field stands. When I hit it, Grov~ threw his glove into the air and followed me aroun _the bases, talking to me," Sewell said with a grind t "Ruth was waiting for me at home plate. He looke 1 me and said, 'Well, kid, they all came out to see rne a home run and you picked me up'."

26 January 1974 Box 24 San Luis Oriente Cuba My dear brother Durward:Hope that you and your family have had a Merry Xmas and that you all will have a very prosperous 1974A few days ago I had the pleasure of receiving the last Star and Lamp-I have enjoyed it so very much-as well as Teresa and many of our friends! am encl~sing a copy of the letter (of commendation) that I recetved from the Director of Mines, Fuel and Metalurgy of Cuba. A letter that I appreciate.

On~~ ~O~h o~ Fe?ruary it will be my 60th anniversary of my mtttatton 1n Pt Kappa Phi at Iota at Georgia TechNow there are only very few of those dear brothers alive. Those boys certainly worked hard to build up our dear. Fraternity on solid foundation. And the work was continued by many, many Brothers very capable and that really loved our FraternityBrothers, may God Bless You and I as one of the early founders of Pi Kappa Phi want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I wish I could have done more for Pi Kappa Phi-but I had to return to Cuba.

I think that at present time I must be the oldest Pi Kappa Phi alive-1913-1914. Brother Rodriguez is from 1914-1915.

Teresa sends your wife her love and her best wishes fo~ the year. How are your dear and beautiful children?

Gtve them many kisses from Teresa and me.

Hope you have time to write me soon. I have written to Marian Harper and am expecting her reply. I hear often from Betty Jepson. She is a very sweet girl and calls me her "big brother".

Love and best wishes from-

Chic Quevedo

Chic was initiated at Georgia Tech on February 14, 1914. He graduated from Georgia Tech at the age of 16.

He went from there to the University of North Carolina ~here he founded Kappa Chapter. Following the found· mg of Kappa Chapter he commenced working to create a group at Duke University and is considered also to be the founder of Mu Chapter at Duke University. In two years' time he graduated from the University of North Carolina with a graduate degree in Engineering. He went from there to the University of Virginia, at the age of 19, and did graduate work on that campus. While there, he created another group, and was disappointed when the National Council of the Fraternity turned down the petition of this local. Had they done so, he would have been the founder of three chapters of the fraternity.

Chic was from fairly wealthy parents in Cuba. He returned to Cuba to manage family holdings. He later went to work for the Cuban government, and at the time of the Castro takeover was Chief Highway Engineer for Oriente province.

Chic has attended many Supreme Chapter meetings, ~an~ Pi Kapps have enjoyed his hospitality while visiting ~rm m Cuba. He loves the fraternity dearly and woul~ like very much to once again return to visit with htS friends in the United States, but under current circurnst.ances is not able to do so. He has poor eyesight but at h1s advanced age does seem to maintain a very good health posture. Any alumni remembering Chic are ver'/ much encouraged to communicate with him. (See address at the beginning of his letter.)

Initially following the change in government in Cuba we were not able to receive communications from Cuba, and Chic did not receive communications from us. !loWever, during the last six or seven years we have been able to receive communications' and he has been able to. receive letters from us. The person he mentions in htS letter is Bartolo B. (Roddy) Rodriguez, initiated Novern.. her 12, 1915, in Iota Chapter, current address: Box 163, C Victoria, Tamps, Mexico.

The .letter to which Chic refers was in Spanish, but we managed to get .It translated enough to know that it is full of praise for Chic and ~Is work. The Cub.an official who wrote the letter on "the occ~sion of th.e ce!~brahon of Engineers' Day" ends his commendation by saying, yye are proud to be able to count among our rWa~ths thh.e most qualified people, among whom is Gonzales Quevedo I Im we are sure to realize our aspirations.'' ·

Victor B. Scheffer, a Pi Kappa Phi alumnus and a world authority on the biology of marine animals, is also a Prize-winning writer and nature photographer.

He graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in zoology • 1n 1930 and a Ph.D. in 1936.

He worked with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service until 1969 when he retired to devote more time to Writing. As a member of the Service he traveled widely, conducting a number of studies, one of which was the life Process of the Alaska fur seal on the Pribilof Islands.

In 1973, he wrote an article for a national magazine a bout the morality of killing seals for whatever reason. He has kindly given us permission to paraphrase from this work.

Dr. Scheffer tells us that in an old trunk he found a "Band of Mercy" pledge he had signed in a school campaign in 1914 in which he promised that he would try to be kind to all harmless living creatures and to protect them from cruel usage. So, very early in his career as a biologist, he had to decide which creatures were harmless and the best Way to be kind to them. Seals come high on his list.

As a background to the seal-killing controversy, he explains that the argument is simply a difference in viewPoints between those who would continue to harvest the seal resources of the world for the benefit of mankind, and those who would not.

The history of man's relationship with this fur-bearing mammal is one of shame. In 1868, 300,000 of these animals Were slaughtered on the beaches of the Pribilof Islands. Men were consumed with a greed for these luxurious furs Which made them lie and cheat and gamble for their possession. Before 1911, when the Fur Seal Treaty was signed, the seals were even hunted at sea, shot indiscriminately, many of them pregnant females, and many sank to the bottom of the sea .before they could be recovered.

However, we have begun to make amends. Canada and Norway are now working through treaties to reduce the killing of the seal population to a conservative figure. . It should be explained that the harp seals visit the sea lee off the shores of eastern Canada and Newfoundland to mate and give birth. The Alaskan fur seals visit the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea to bear their young in tnid-summer. The products of the harp seal industry are blubber, pelts, and leather valued at about $3 million a Year. Those who harvest the Alaskan fur seal reap their Profits (about $5 million a year) from the rich pelts of tho half-grown males and a thousand tons of dark red seal meat which is processed each year for animal feed.

It is only natural that the industries engaged in this Profitable business should wish to continue it. Even the President of the Humane Society in the United States conceded that it might be more humane to kill a seal \\rith a quick blow on the head than to let it die from starvation or be trampled as a pup from overcro~ding.

On the other hand, Dr. Scheffer points out, the sealkilling controversy has attracted an extremist group fallliliar to all wildlife conservationists- the professional saviour - well-meaning but more often than not inept, Unfair or inaccurate. They picket and propagandize with horror pictures of baby seals being killed and skinned.

(Some of this is true, but often only half true and misrepresented.)

Naturally we do not like to think of the suffering or

• death of any animal, ·wild or domestic, though we are quite willing to use its products in our economy. As T. S. Eliot said, "Human kind ·cannot bear very much reality."

Dr. Scheffer, who has studied the Alaskan fur seal for 30 years, presents both sides of the question, amplifying them with statistics about the seal population in their various habitats. He feels that no one would deny the Alaskan native the right to kill a seal for food, but, at the san1e time, questions the right of governments to allow their killing to provide pelts for the luxury fur trade.

Indeed, he would be pleased if the nations \vould agree to stop the killing of seals altogether, although he realizes that they will continue to be killed as long as world opinion assigns a high priority to their commercial use.

Further, he dreams of the Pribilof Islands as a great international park of education and wildlife study. The cycle of life and regeneration would be unfolded before the eyes of the people who came to see the great herds of Alaskan fur seals swim in the spring. There they would give birth, mate, fight, and some would be trampled, and this is the natural way.

Dr. Scheffer also would like to see completely independent citizen advisory councils periodically review all agency programs that deal with the conservation of the fur seal. He reports that much has already been accomplished by concerned people to reduce the carelessness and cruelty of the sealing business, yet more needs to be done.

On Saturday evening, April 20, 1974, the Kappa Phi Colony at Methodist College in Fayetteville, N. C., became Delta Mu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi with 23 charter members.

The chartering banquet was held at the Methodist College Student Union. National Vice President, John Wilson, was the speaker and James L.Daley, Jr. of Chase Manhattan Bank in New York and former Field Secretary acted as Chartering Officer. Initiating teams were Delta Lambda, UNC at Charlotte, and Delta Kappa, Pembroke State.

The history of Delta Mu starts November 9, 1972, when six students met in the science building of the college to found what was to be the school's first fraternal organization. They called themselves the Methodist College Men's Club. During the year that followed, the club organized dances and parties, remodeled and painted, distributed trash barrels, sponsored a student-administration basketball game and, generally, won the support and admiration of the faculty, administration and students.

When Dr. Richard Pearce became the new President of Methodist College in the spring of 1973, the rules against Greek fraternities were relaxed. Alvin Leslie, as President of the Methodist Men's Club, talked with Dr. Pearce about bringing Pi Kappa Phi to the campus and received his permission to attempt to do so. Jerry Matthews, Assistant Executive Director of the Fraternity, was contacted and, subsequently, the Methodist College Men's Club became Kappa Phi Colony, November 11, 1973.

The first officers were elected, membership grew, and the men became more involved in campus activities.

Every intramural sport found a Kappa Phi team on the roster; but the major contribution of the colony was the production of the first Miss Methodist College Pageant.

Since the introduction of Pi Kappa Phi at Methodist College, another fraternity and a sorority have been started. As pioneers for the fraternity system on campus, Pi Kapps were proud but not surprised to have two of their members elected as Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Interfraternity Council.

With such an auspicious beginnin~, Delta Mu is determined to continue to .."lead the way'.

Initiating teams from Morehead State and Middle Tennessee State did an excellent job with the chartering ritual.

The formal banquet at the Red Carpet Inn was enjoyed by everybody - good food, good band, and a good speaker, Mr. Andy Offutt. Beta Gamma~ Louisville.

Mr. Offutt, who lives at Funnyfarm, Halderman, Ky., gave up a very successful career as an insurance executive to devote full time to the writing of science fiction.

His main theme was that the good sci-fi writers of today care dee ly about humanity; are, indeed, writing about the possi le future of society, using their talents to make people more aware.

The Kappa Phi Colony of Western Kentucky University, founder December 7, 1973, has been outstanding on campus since its inception. They have been cited for academic excellence and have attracted commendation for their participation in service activities, only one of which was raising $400.00 to aid the regional chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation this spring.

Paul H. Chapman, Furman University, has written a history, painstakingly researched and authenticated, that reads like an adventure story and adds to our knowledge of the discovery of the New World.

"The Man Who Led Columbus to America" is based on the travels of St. Brendan and a small band of Irish monks who sailed to North America and back-not in the 12th or 13th century, but circa 564-565 A.D. Chapman's interest in St. Brendan dates from World War II when he ferried planes across the Atlantic as an Air Force Navigator. He explored many of the islands in the Atlantic on these crossings ·and kept ccbumping into St. Brendan", stories of the ancient monk's having explored there.

In 1959, the University of Notre Dame Press published the late Dr. Carl Selner's compilation of St. Brendan's manuscripts including his seafaring diaries. Chapman had the Latin work translated into English by Atlanta Latin scholar, Father C. R. Collopy.

(CAmazingly", Chapman points out, ccst. Brendan kept careful and almost scientific notes on his sailing routes supplemented by detailed geographic descriptions of his landing sites on his way to and from the New World."

Chapman's other main source was a relatively recent translation of "The Journal of Christopher Columbus"

by Cecil Jan e. Both Columbus and St. Brendan used the trade wind route to the Caribbean, though it was unknown to navigators even in Columbus's time. Brendan stumbled on to it by accident and passed it on to Columbus via Brendan's manuscripts first published, Mr. Chapman believes, in Columbus's day.

On their 10,000 plus mile journey, the Irish monk and his 14 fellow clerics sailed in their 40 ft. vessel, a square rigged currach made of hides stretched over a wooden frame. They went from Ireland north to the Faeroe Islands, south to the Azores and then southwest across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. They continued up the North American coastline past Newfoundland, Greenland and Iceland and, finally back home.

In his research, Mr. Chapman not only corresponded with the historic and geographic authorities on these islands, but he and his wife visited many of them. They wouldn't leave the Faeroe Islands until they had found the very wild flowers that St. Brendan had described as growing there.

Paul Chapman is a business man; founder and President of Chapman Company, a business brokerage firrn specializing in media properties.

ose 'College Kids' Editor, Sun News: No one will ever again be able to make any disparaging remarks about "those irresponsible college kids" in my presence and get away with it!

I would like to share my recent experience with a group of really great brothers of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity of Stetson University.

I am handicapped and through a series of personal com· plic~tions found it necessary to move. The only place I could find that was functional for a wheelchair needed considerable cleaning and painting, in addition to the fol'tnidable tasks in· volved in moving furniture and personal belongings.

A few friends volunteered for painting, cleaning and moving. The general move took place on Friday. On SaturdaY morning the Pi Kap brothers arrived en masse. They painted laid linoleum, put up rods and hWlg curtains, applied contact paper, shifted carpets and furniture, reached unreachable places, ran errands and disposed of cartons, plus innumerable other necessities. One did the unfamiliar task of putting on a tank set in the bathroom with the laughing comment that he'd "never dressed a toilet before." · They were friendly, respectful, polite and willing. However, when they left on Saturday I honestly didn't expect to see them again. But on Monday morning when I had reached a point when I could not proceed without help, the phone rang with the cheerful news that four of the "brothers" were "on their way."

Again they painted and did many chores, even provided paint and brushes for doors.

During Saturday's activity my new neighbor, a mechanic, checked a bad noise in my car and said I could no longer drive it without repairs (which he generously offered to do). My new friends offered to drive me back and forth to work until the car could be repaired.

They provided much needed physical assistance, but also gave me much more. They have turned despair to hope; renewed my faith in people; given me an insight into the Stetson community and boosted a sagging morale.

I almost hate to see the work completed for I will miss mY new friends of Pi Kappa Phi. They and my other generous friends have proved that DeLand really is "a great place to live."

than expected. As it now stands, we have eight pledges six of which are due to be initiated on March 10. ' At intramurals, Iota has much to be desired. Our basketball team just couldn't get it together. Although better than the basketball team, our soccer team still had many problems besides those of swollen shins. Our bowling team also did not reach the lofty peaks to which they aspired. Anyway, the participants had fun and as before we are hoping to field a softball team that won't stop.

Iota, along with many other new things, has started a little sister chapter which will become effective next quarter. Seven little sisters are the founders of the chapter.

Iota has been undergoing many changes, both internally and externally, and has had a rough time at it. Hopefully, everything will work out towards a bigger and better Iota.

KAPPA University of North Carolina

ALPHA College of Charleston

BETA Presbyterian The new year has brought a change in attitude in Beta Chap~r. Winter semester saw seven new pledges enter our chapter.

Bhose joining were Forest Secord, Hay Wyman, David Fortune, U~dy Medlin, Tom Stanley, Mark Hallman, and Denny Griffin. ih1s pledge class set a record for pledging in the winter term. h Two chapter retreats have been held since January. One was "eld at the house of Brother David Connolly and the other at ,...ledge John Lake's home, the latter being a trip for the new Pledges and their big brothers in hope that the new members Would voice some innovations.

New officers were elected for the coming year with George McAbee taking the Archon position, Clay Dykes retaining the Secretary's post and David Connolly being elected as new l'H~easurer. Warden for next year will be Clark Riddle and the lstorian position remains with Robert Owens.

GAMMA University of California at Berkeley Once again Gamma has had a strong summer rush thanks to Past Archon Mike McBride. We pledged 27 men, three of whom Participated as live-outs. We initiated 16 men in a marathon Ceremony from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on January 27.

These new men are concerned with the well being of Gamma a~d are learning many of the duties of the officers and comrtllttees to insure efficient and economical operation of the House. We have been looking into a cooperative food purchasing Program with other fraternities on campus to curb rising food costs.

Brother Bob Steele did an excellent job of putting together our first publication this year. This was witnessed by the numerous and encouraging alumni responses we recei~ed. Gam'!"a is hoping that with the further support of our alumni, along w1th the diligent efforts of our Housing Corporation, we will be able to finalize our housing plans by the summer of '74. . We look forward to entertaining you all at the Supreme Chapter 1n San Francisco in August of 1975.

IOTA Georgia Tech Iota has been doing quite well this winter quarter. After a terrible fall rush, things have been picking up nicely. Due to excellent weather, for a change, our winter rush came out better

Kappa chapter began its 59th year with fifteen outstanding pledges. Spring rush at UNC-CH was slow overall, but not so at Pi Kappa Phi. This seemed to reflect our ability as a chapter to meet the demands and expectations of an ever changing college campus. To continue to meet these demands, the brotherhood is in the process of initiating a campaign to improve our image among the fraternities on campus and also in the Chapel Hill community. We feel this is necessary to insure that the brotherhood continues to grow in the future as it has in the past.

Our chapter was united this spring in an effort to elect Lew Warren as president of the student body. It proved to be an excellent chance to improve the chapter's image on campus as well as to draw the brotherhood and pledges closer路 together.

This spring also gave way for several capital improvements.

Thanks to the cooperation of our alumni, a drainage network was installed around the chapter house to remove excess rain water which was causing major damage to the house. Also, the bar room received a new rug which changed its entire atmosphere.

Kappa, realizing the need for support by its alumni, took a step to improve those relations this semester. The chapter will be working with Mr. Bennett Smith of Charlotte to produce at regular intervals the chapter newsletter, Kappa Kapers. The paper will be alumni oriented and contain pertinent chapter information. This partnership frees the historian to concentrate on gathering material which should be of interest to the alumni.

This semester also saw a renewed interest in fraternity ritual.

Brothers' meetings were held in formal sessions, with officers wearing their respective robes, plus the brotherhood was challenged before entering a meeting. It proved to be impressive and also facilitated the meeting to everyone's surprise.

The semester has been a busy one for Kappa Chapter, but it has also been an enjoyable one.

LAMBDA University of Georgia The past two quarters have been busy ones for the brothers of Lambda Chapter. Fall quarter netted us 10 pledges which were initiated in December, and during winter quarter, we gained three more pledges which were initiated in early March. We are currently engaged in spring quarter rush which we hope will be fruitful. As of this moment, we have one man pledged and hope to have 10 more just like him by the beginning of spring quarter.

Fall and winter quarters were good to Lambda in the sports arena. At the end of the fall quarter, we found ourselves tied for first place in intramurals. Winter quarter, we started strong by winning the bowling championship, but a disappointing basketball season has put us back into third place in overall competition. We hope to regain first place by winning the badminton championship and placing high in weight-lifting .

Winter quarter brought about a facelift for the Lambda Chapter House. The old dishwasher room off the dining room was converted into a most pleasant bar room complete with juke box and ice machine. We extend special thanks to alumni Bobby Goolsby and BiU Allen for their help with this project.

Overall, our old house is still in very bad condition. However, due to the efforts of Mike Montesani, our new Chapter Advisor, the Lambda Housing Association and interested alumni, we are making some headway in solving our housing problems.

Roanoke College SPRING '74/ 15

OMICRON University of Alabama

UPSILON University of Illinois

Since the beginning of the spring semester in January, Omicron has completed the initiation of 17 men from the fall semester pledge class and have already pledged 11 fine men to the spring class. The success of our rush program these last two semesters, coupled with a promising outlook for rush this summer and next fall, is encouraging to the future prosperity of Omicron.

In the area of community service projects this semester, Omicron has contributed to the University's Rehabilitation Program through its successful efforts to send a young boy to summer camp where he will be helped to overcome his physical handicaps. Also, the Pi Kapp Colonels, a boys' basketball team, coached and sponsored by the brothers, won the city championship with a record of 13 wins and one loss.

Founders Day was a shining success this year highlighted with National President Ted Scharfenstein conveying a well noted message to the brothers and a number of visiting alumni.

The Winter and Spring months have provided a lot of enjoY~ ment for the Pi Kapps at Upsilon Chapter. In Basket~a~l . w finished with a 3-2 season and took third place in our diVISIOn~ Entering. our third season in Hockey, all players had fun ~nd t~e are look1ng forward to the next season in hopes of mak1n9 11 playoffs. Baseball will be here soon and we are ready to ro after having several successful practices. Our soccer te~m, taking second place in Fraternity Division in the Fall, are looking me at the first place spot as they enter Spring League.

Many new changes are being made at the Chapter: 5 0 improvements were made in the kitchen and more are 1n ~tor~ for the dining room. The outside of our house is being patnt~s and should look beautiful along with the new roof that W added last year. . .

51 Again, we have had a successful Little Sister Rush add1n9 ~ new girls, giving a total of 25 active girls. The Little Sisters adts plenty of excitement to the Chapter by planning many even such as a picnic, a kite fly, a pajama party, an outdoor barb~c~: and a swimming party. We are all looking forward to the .0 t Ball which will mark the 53rd Anniversary of Pi Kappa Phi a the University of Illinois.

RHO Washington & Lee Rho Chapter has just held its annual Rose Ball, and many say this was the most sucessful one yet. 'The affair, moved this year to Lexington's new Holiday Inn, drew several Rho alumni as well as virtually the entire brotherhood, including our 18 new initiates.

Miss Helen Radcliffe, a senior from Frederick, Maryland, and Mary Baldwin College, was selected Rose Queen. Helen is the fiancee of Chapter Treasurer, Ted Gregory.

The initiation of 18 new brothers followed an excellent rush and pledging program that saw Rho bring in the second highest number of pledges on campus. As is characteristic of the total brotherhood, these pledges were distinguished most by their geographic, economic, and ideological diversity. Thirteen different states were represented in this year's pledge class.

Rho continues to hold its own in intramurals. An influx of talented freshmen may lead the Chapter to its first winning basketball season in recent memory.

And Rho Chapter continues to excel in academics at Washington and Lee. Joe McMenamin, a senior pre-med major from York, Pennsylvania, was recently named to the school's Phi Beta Kappa chapter.

SIGMA University of South Carolina Sigma Chapter 1974 is now in full swing starting the semester with 9 new associate members preceeded by activation in November 1973 of 20 new brothers. We are all proud of brother Warden Pete Manos who has made innovations in pledge education which have proven outstanding.

We are presently in third place in competition for the "All Sports" Trophy, with Softball, Tennis, Track and field left on the agenda. Also in sports our annual Alumni vs Active basketball game will be held March 31.

One highlight of our semester has been our participation in a recent Heart Association radiothon which collected over $20,000.00.

We are beginning preparation for Cockfest 74 which will be held October 11, under direction of brother Bob Swelgin.

Sigma Chapter would like to wish our brother chapters the best of luck.

TAU North Carolina State University Last fall's rush produced six new initiates at Tau Chapter.

They are: Alan Baldwin, Joe Cowan, Walt Petit, Steve Sanders, Myron Smith, and Brian Vick. At present, we have nine pledges for the spring semester. They are: Joe Bobbitt, Vaughn Debose, Ray Franklin, Jay Gilbert, Dean Kirkley, Mike Lopez and David Martin, Darrell Pardue, Art Williams.

Tau Chapter continues to work with the retarded Boy Scout Troop. David Benson, who is in charge of Troop 239, is continuing to do a fine job and has planned for the troop to attend a professional wrestling match. Our Eye Drive for the N. C. Eye and Human Tissue Bank is becoming an annual event. Mike Jordan is heading up the project for Tau Chapter this semester.

Wayne Lowder, who last year served as Vice President of I.F.C., was elected as l.F.C President for the year and has some big events planned for the spring semester.

We are having a good semester athletically as we were runners-up in basketball and are fielding perhaps the strongest fraternity softball team.

Best wishes to our fellow chapters.

A new slate of officers was installed at Alpha Alpha on March 3, 1974. They are: Archon, Jim Huntsinger; Treasurer, Web Curl; Secretary, Bill Lillycrop; Warden, George Perreault; Historian, Bob Stalkmith; Chaplain, Rod Roberts.

A new Chapter Advisor has been named since our publication Was mailed. He is Bill Youngblood, Gamma Xi '73, who has al.ready shown that he will be a tremendous asset to our chapter.

Btll will serve as co-advisor with Raymond Baggerly. We look forward to wo'rking with these two guys and welcome them once again to our chapter.

The Pi Kapps at Mercer were named the most spirited organi~ation on campus for the third straight year. The Spirit Award IS given by the cheerleaders during the Homecomina festivities to the group who has demonstrated outstanding school spirit during the year.

Final plans for our spring weekend will be made at our first meeting after spring break. It will be some time in May at either Myrtle Beach, S. C. or Panama City, Fla. Everyone is looking forward to this event and all alumni are welcome to join the fun.

On February 23rd, 1974, Alpha Delta celebrated its 50th anniversary with a small banquet. Alpha Delta alumni from near and far came to the event, i.ncluding Gordy All!3n, Alpha Delta # 1.

(A much larger celebration of the 50th ann1versary will be held during Homecoming this Fall. More information is forthcoming to Apha Delta alumni on this event.)

The future, as well as the past, was discussed at the banquet.

Although the chapter has been in financial difficulty the brothers are working hard at recruiting new members. New 'members will not only add new blood to Alpha Delta, but they will help financially. The prospects look good.

The chapter is getting input from its newer initiates more than ever before. (On Novem.ber 14th, 1973, 13 men were initiated.)

Not only are they carryrng much of the rush load but at the el~ctions of March 4th, four Freshmen were chosen as officers.

Wrth a repe:at of last. year'~ successful Summer rush, Alpha Delta should be rn good frnancral shape this Fall, as well as having a strong base of young members to carry the chapter on for many years to come .

..Alpha Gamma chapter started the spring semester after the tnttiation of six new brothers into the chapter. We are extremely Proud of this associate class as they achieved the highest gradePoint class average of any pledge class on campus.. Brothers Craig Rainey and John Cooper were able to achieve 4.0 grade averages last semester.

Alpha Gamma also initiated three girls into our Little Sister organization. Our Little Sisters have been indispensable through the years. They help the chapter in rush and also decorate for Parties. If any chapter does not have a Little Sister organization, I recommend that they start one.

Our Founder's Day banquet was a great success. Mel Metcalfe Was the fife of the party. He was our guest speaker and entertained us all with his magical bag of tricks.

Already this semester we have raised money for our housing . fund by sponsoring a spaghetti dinner for the students. A delegation made up of brothers attended the 16th annual Model United Nations and placed fifth in the voting for outstand!ng delegation. Last month Alpha Gamma won one trophy for havrng the best house percentage donating blood and another trophy for giving the most total pints among Greeks in the Universities' annual blood drive. We are also looking forward to having anOther good season in softball, and in addition to our regular Softball team, we are planning to enter a coed team.

ALPHA ETA Samford University This year has proven to be the most successful year in the history of Alpha Eta. We are doing exceptionally well in rush. The chaoter has initiated nine new brothers this February and pledged seven men since the spring semester began.

We are also participating in school organized charities. The Pi Kapps led the way in the Red Cross Blood Drive and donated much money to aid one of the football players when his mother passed away.

Step-Sing was the greatest success. The chapter has finished first in the fraternity division ten out of the past twelve years and this year was no exception. However, Alpha Eta did put a new face into Step-Sing 1974 by becoming the first fraternity to ever win the overall trophy.

We have been saddened by the death of our faculty advisor, Dr. Jean Meade Dunbar. This man affected the life of every Alpha Eta brother and his death was a sharp blow to each of us.

The brothers will long remember this man and the tremendous work he did for Alpha Eta.

ALPHA THETA Michigan State University The Alpha Theta basketball team did quite well this season after getting off to a shaky start early in the year. We fought our way into the semi-finals, but got defeated in a close, hardfought game.

The brothers of the Chapter are pulling together in an organized way to pull ourselves up from where we were. Our winter rush efforts netted us five pledges who are very enthusiastic and will make fine additions to our House.

Spring rush is all set to go with the plans and actions well thought out, and everyone knows what has to be done. We are looking for 10 pledges minimum, and with a concentrated effort, this should be no problem.

We are making minor house improvements with our limited funds. However, there are fund raising plans on the drawing boards for spring which, if they go right, will be a big asset to the House.

All in all, the men at Alpha Theta Chapter are looking toward the future with anticipation and hope, and are ready to blossom into a strong and stable chapter once again.

ALPHA IOTA Auburn Alpha Iota has had another outstanding quarter in the field of sports. We have won the ping-pong championship in our intramural league and look forward with great anticipation to spring quarter and a winning season at softball and horse shoes.

ALPHA TAU Rensselaer

Lots of things are happening at Alpha Tau with many signs l~oking up. First, we've taken 12 fine pledges, forming a very diversified group. The one thing they all share is an unbounded love for the chapter. At this point, we are well into the development of a working Little Sisters program. Any chapter would be proud of these eight charming ladies, all from nearby Russell Sage College.

In another vein, our new kitchen is about 80°/o finished. Doing all the work thus far ourselves, from the pouring of the cement floor to the paneled ceiling, we can be especially proud of this project.

On the sports front, we're improving constantly. Our basketball team has amassed a 4-2 record. The pledges are an integral part of the team and have shown a lot of hustle. In all we feel Alpha Tau is making a very strong comeback toward increasing our campus and national standing.

ALPHA UPSILON Drexel University March first saw the informal initiation of eight new brothers and spring term nets us 6 pledges with the possibility of several more initiates. With a present active brotherhood of 60, we have a graduating class of 18. To those, good luck.

The Sunderland Court apartment fire on March first was one of the highlight events of the year. Being nearby neighbors to the now devastated structure, our house was designated the Red Cross Emergency Center. Although much credit should be given to the Red Cross and Fire Dept., Pi Kapps donated their assistance from the pre-dawn hours throughout the day and followed up the crisis situation with a clothing drive and fund · collection center. . Major house improvements this past year included the paintIng of all exterior woodwork and trimming on our house by several brothers.

I. F. sports had some potential for Pi Kapps this year. Last summer our volleyball squad had a winning season, our tennis group a winless one. Fall term we eliminated ourselves from an opening in the football hall of fame. Before being nailed by sickness and a broken ankle on our starting five, our bumbling b-ballers chalked up a 9-0 record only to lose the last two regular season games securing second and losing the first playoft. From the bowling team we extend an invitation to anyone Who can keep out of the "gutter".

ALPHA PHI Illinois Institute of Technology (liT) ALPHA PSI Indiana University BETA ALPHA Newark College of Engineering

•

As far as the spring semester is concerned, things could not ~e better for Beta Alpha campus-wise. Brother Joseph Manfredi IS President of Newark College of Engineering Student Senate and his little brother, Bob Morgan, is the Vice-President, with ambitions tor becoming President next semester. Brother Rich Delcore is the President of the College Student Activities Council Which makes it very easy to coordinate house events with school events. We also have two brothers who have been initiated into Phi Eta Sigma, which is the National Freshman Honor Fraternity.

The brotherhood itself at Beta Alpha really pulled together during the fall rush season. Under the guidance of Rush Chairman Glenn Romanek, we were able to obtain ten freshmen and two upperclassmen pledges. At this point in time the latter two, Bob Morgan and Steve Flatley, have been initiated and the freshmen pledges have finished their pledge period and are awaiting initiation. Taking into account and trying to resolve any problems ~e may have incurred previously, our rush this semester promIses to be our best ever, which is unusual because generally

spring rush is never as good as fall rush. However bids will not go out for a while yet, but we have many aspirants ~waiting them.

As far as Brotherhood i.s concer.ned, the spirit at Beta Alpha, we feel, has been exceptional. Th1s camaraderie and esprit de corps. wer.e emphasized especially during our "Help Weekend" at w~1.ch t1me bo~h ~rothers an~ pledg~s worked side by side in repa1nng, refurb1sh1ng, and reJuvenating our ancient facilities.

As a result, this activity becomes the most effective part of our pledge education.

Beta A~pha is engaged in various community service functions.

Last Chnstmas our brothers got together with other brothers from other fraternities on campus and through their united efforts gave a Christmas Party for a Day Care Center and Orphanage in Newark. The brothers collected and repaired old toys, and purchase~ new ones, which were then distributed by Santa Claus.

A Mag1c Show and refreshments made the day a huge success.

More recently the Inter-Fraternity Council held its annual blood drive and Beta Alpha came through with 93°/o of the brotherhood contributing. We are now engaged in raising money for the Peter Jensen Memorial Fund. Peter Jensen, one of our brothers met an untimely death on campus and this fund, in his honor offers ' help to a student in financial need.

Our Alumni relations could be better and we are striving for a more efficient method of keeping in touch with them. In order to keep our files up to date with our elusive Alumni, we enclose questionnaires along with any correspondence that we have with them. We have been getting a fair response from this endeavor.

Although we have nine brothers graduating in May, we feel that these pledges will gre.atly add to our brotherhood and keep the house going as well as rt has been.

Our little sister program is getting bigger and better each sem~ster. We now have 17 little sisters. They are a great group of g1rls and have helped us out tremendously, especially during our rush.

Again we participated in Greek Sing this year. Glen Graff our so~g master, led us ~n singing a medley of Beatie hits. Althbugh los1ng two brothers 1n the bathroom beforehand the rest of us had a fantastic time just the same. ' Our softball team is starting to shift into high gear again.

Although we have not started the season yet, we are definite contenders under coach Herb Grove.

Since our 25th anniversary banquet last semester in which we e~tended all our alu~ni invitations, we have bJilt up our alumnr program to t~e po1nt wryere ~any alumni are dropping in to see us. Larry W1dman, Anel Vrera, Mitch Manting, Duane H_oran and .Guy Chappell have all extended us visits. Guy, using h1s J?rof!3ss1onal background, is helping us put out our chapter publrcat1on.

The great success of our chapter retreat in February can be attri~uted to Beta Beta alumni Jim Turner's hospitality. He lent us hrs house, one you would have to see to believe for the entire weekend. Not only did he house and feed us but he also used. his past fraternity experience in helping us du~ing our hash SeSSIOnS. Although many alumni have dropped in to see us, there are many more of you who have not. If you are ever in our area feel free to stop in. Our doors are always open to a Pi Kapp. ,

BETA DELTA Drake University Beta Delta began the spring semester proudly when Drake's Inter-Fraternity Council retired the traveling fraternity scholarship trophy to our house. After winning the trophy for six consecutive semesters I FC decided to permanently leave the trophy in the Pi Kapp's hands. . A house retreat took place in February with three main topics discussed by the brothers: Rush, Communciation and Motivation. A general discussion was also conducted o~ where Beta Delta wants to be in two years. The retreat was a success many viewpoints were aired, and there were positive results. ' As our house has doubled within the past several years the brothers have been aware of the fact that a new organization was ne.eded. We haye taken steps in this direction by the implementation of total Involvement by all brothers in several new house committees and by revamping the officers' responsibilities.

We also changed our weekly meeting time from Monday nights to Sunday evenings, while leaving our formal meal on Monday

SPRING '74/19

to encourage more contact with out-of-house brothers. A bimonthly house-newsletter was reinstated. A breakdown by the treasurer of the monies spent by Beta Delta has helped the brothers to see exactly where our money is going.

Along with the Chi Omega Sorority, the Pi Kapps again won first place in Drake's annual Bulldog Tales variety show. This marks the second consecutive year Beta Delta has won the fraternity/sorority group acts.

In intramural sports the Pi Kapps placed 4th in Fraternity standings for indoor track with softball, swimming, volleyball and golf still up-coming this semester. In all fraternity competition for all sports Beta Delta holds fourth place in 1973-74.

The Little Sisters of the Star and Lamp have been very active in house activities this semester. On Valentine's Day the Little Sisters were treated to dinner. A Monte Carlo party held by the Little Sisters was well attended in March.

In April, in conjunction with the annual Drake Relays, Beta Delta will celebrate its 25th Anniversary. This event has been eagerly looked forward to all year by all the brothers. A great showing by the alumni to help in the event, along with Durward Owen's presence at the banquet to be held, will certainly top off the highpoints of the semester.

On May 4th our Rose Queen will be crowned at Pi Kappa Phi's annual Rose Ball. The brothers expect many Des Moines area alumni to be present for the spring formal.

All in all, Beta Delta has reached new heights with house involvement, campus involvement and total Greek involvement this semester. It's been a great semester, with all men truly glad to be brothers of Pi Kappa Phi.

BETA ETA Florida State University BETA IOTA University of Toledo BETA KAPPA Georgia State BETA LAMBDA University of Tampa Once again the spring semester proved to be a fruitful one for the Pi Kapps at the University of Tampa. The Pi Kapps look strong in all facets of student life.

Beta Lambda ranked second in scholarship at UT. The house has been named to the national register as a national landmark.

As always, 1973-74 was a strong intramural year for the brotherhood. The Pi Kapps ranked high in both major and minor sports, and the possibility of picking up the Intramural Trophy looks good.

Pledging prospects for 1973-74 were good in numbers and in spirit.

We've been fulfilling our civic duties as well as those concerned with UT. Beta Lambda has represented such organizations as the American Cancer Society and the Heart Fund by promoting interests in various projects concerned with fund • • ratstng.

As on can easily see, Beta Lambda is putting in a strong bid for The Most Outstanding Fraternity on Campus award. If things go as planned it will be the third year in a row we have won this award.

We would like to express our appreciation to our alumni for r-aising the money necessary to re-wire our house.

BETA MU McNeese State University Beta Mu chapter started the spring semester by pledging seven men. In addition to these seven undergraduates, a new faculty advisor, Dr. Joe Lynn Cash. Dr. Cash joins Doug Handley in advising the chapter. A member of the McNeese faculty, our new advisor is an instructor of English.

After a break for Mardi Gras, the chapter members have started work for Rose Ball, to be held this year on March 8th thru 1Oth. Beta Mu is looking forward to greeting many Alumni back to the event this year. Our Little Sisters have been doing a great job in helping plan for Rose Ball. The chapter is certainly appreciative for their efforts thus far.

The chapter held our Spring retreat recently, at which various topics of concern were much cussed and discussed. Although all the answers may not be found in a retreat-type session, it is

20/THE STAR AND LAMP

a great starting point. Beta Mu looks forward to the Area VII retreat and conclave to be held in Natchitoches on April 2nd. w_e certainly do hope that all chapters and colonies in the Area Will be well represented.

The chapter would sincerely appreciate all Alumni filling 0 ~~ the questionnaire which is in the recent copy of the "Beta Moos.

We hope to have our files completely updated for both our us~ and yours very soon. In addition, we would like to know as muc about what you are up to as we can. If you return the form,. we will all benefit. We hope to see a lot of Alums in San Franc1sco in '75 for Supreme Chapter!

BETA XI Central Michigan BETA OMICRON N. W. State of La. BETA TAU Valdosta State Beta Tau has had a successful year thus far. We recently initiated 3 new ~rothers, that we are very proud of, and we. are s~re that they will help carry on the tradition of Pi Kappa Phi on thts campus.

Among our projects this year was the Annual Miss Valdo~ta State College Pageant. Once again we produced an outstandrng pageant with guests that included the current Miss Georgia and Miss Georgia of 1972.

Our house has undergone some drastic changes, for the better. A lot of work has been put into the house and yard. We have carpeted the front rooms of the house and put up wallpaper. More changes are expected to come about next quarte.r.

Recently, we took part in Valdosta State's homecoming. ThiS was a very special weekend for us because we had a number of alumni that came back and spent the weekend. This was truly a rewarding experience and it was enjoyed very much bY our brothers. We hope that we can have many more get-togethers like this.

Our Rose Ball is planned for April 27, 1974. We would like to cordially invite any alumni that can to try and come.

Beta Tau has also recently elected new officers for the upcoming quarter. These officers are: David Alvarez, Archon; Torn Wiley, Vice-Archon; Bill Maxwell, Treasurer; Rusty Peavy, sacred tary; Chris Cleaveland, Warden; Jimmy Holt, Historian; an Barney King, Chaplain.

We are looking forward to a successful spring and we are convinced that we will have one.

BETA UPSILON University of Virginia Beta Upsilon began the second semester by making its lonQ awaited move into the newly completed House addition. The addition, which cost over $18,000, includes a large modern bathroom, three new bedrooms and a new dining and party room· Begun in late summer, construction proceeded slowly through the fall until House Advisor and local attorney Leroy Hamlett brought legal action against the original construction companY and hired a new firm. Mr. Hamlett was at the House every daY following the progress until the construction was successfull~ completed in January. The new addition will be dedicated at our annual Rose Ball on April 26, and we hope that a large numbe of alumni will be on hand for this big event.

In other news, Sonny Ellis, one of our fourth year borthers, was involved in a near fatal accident in January. Sonny suffere~ severe thoracic injuries and remained in intensive care tor ~y most three weeks. The House, brought very close togeth~r the accident, responded with many brothers making the tnpWt~ the Blood Bank to see that Sonny's need was taken care of. are- pleased to report that Sonny has made a remarkable recovery.

Our officers have worked very hard this semester and undef their leadership Pi Kapp has maintained its position as one. 0h the strongest Houses here at Virginia. The officers are: RtCr Luscomb, Archon; Jack Mclaughlin, Vice Pres.; Buck Koeste ' Secretary; Ed Martin, Treasurer; Rich Elder, Chaplain; John Berry, Historian; and Tom Rouse, Warden.

And finally, Beta Upsilon has initiated a fund drive to .c.over expenses of the addition, renovations, and furniture acquis1t1on~ We hope that many alumni will respond in our efforts to im~ro~ our .physical plant, and we sincerely hope that many alumni will come to see us and our many improvements.

The new officers for this semester are: Archon, Tim Hunter; Treasurer, Lynn Schoelerman; Secretary, Mark Cole; Warden, Robert Yowell; Historian, Roger Kliebert; Chaplain, John Earley.

At the first of this semester, six pledges were initiated. They are: Roger Kliebert, Mark Cole, Ricky Guinn, Gary Wa.tterson, Tom King and Robert Mitchell. Of these, two are now officers.

Our annual money-raising event, the Pi Kapp Bowling Tournament, was a success as usual. Enough money was raised to make the event well worth the effort.

The Rose Ball was held in February when Mary Haynes was crowned Rose Queen.

BETA OMEGA East Tennessee State GAMMA ALPHA Livingston University GAMMA BETA Old Dominion Our first semester rush at Gamma Beta was pretty bad, but With the concern of National, which was expressed by the arriva~ of traveling secretaries, the situation began to change.

Our second semester rush functions fell short once again, but through the concern and guidance of our Chapter Advisor, the leadership and vigor of the executive committee and the cooper- . ation and effort of the remaining brothers provided one of the best rushes in our history.

This is an example of the Greek system and especially the Pi Kappa Phi fraternal organization working and cooperatin~ t<;>Qether from the national level to the undergraduate base. Th1s 1s the true meaning of brotherhood and our thanks go to National.

GAMMA GAMMA Troy State University Gamma Gamma Chapter recently returned from its Rose format in New Orleans where we had the largest alumni turnout in years.

We recently completed our community project by picking up cans and bottles and turning them in to the Miller Beer Co. We won the contest and received a new pool table for our game room.

Gamma Gamma has made a good showing in sports this quarter and has a good chance of winning the overall sports award.

We are now establishing our chapter library in a new room of the fraternity house and our last two pledge classes have given us a very bright outlook for the future of our Chapter and Pi Kappa Phi.

GAMMA DELTA Memphis State The spring semester proved to be one of great progress for Gamma Delta with the most notable advances in the areas of member recruitment and housing.

The brothers racked up the largest pledge class on campus for the second consecutive semester in a field of fourteen national fraternities. The chapter's housing corporation is in the process of being totally revamped and negotiation has begun for new quarters suitable to our greatly increased chapter size. The thrust of this effort has been toward inspiring increased interest among the area alumni.

The chapter is now printing an alumni newsletter which it is hoped will aid in communication with our area alumni between regular chapter publications.

Along with numerical growth, the brothers have branched out into campus activities to a much greater extent than in past years. Members now hold the following positions on campus:

Vice-President-! FC; Public Relations Director-! FC; Election Commissioner-Student Government Association; President ODKScholastic Honorary Society; Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities; Student Senators-SGA; Campaign CoordinatorsSGA Greek Ticket; Resident Hall Association Senators.

On the sports scene Pi Kappa Phi, second place in overall points, is battling for the All-Fraternity championship title.

GAMMA EPSILON Western Carolina University GAMMA ZETA West Virginia Tech Once .again th~. brot~ers of Gamma Zeta .are striving for leadership and abll1ty. S1nce these are two ma1n factors in the growth of our fraternity, we take pride in our efforts to grow bigger and better each year.

Our growth is displayed with a pledge class of thirteen willing and able men who are being taught the importance of leadership and cooperation. We are showing them how important it is that they take pride in our fraternity and strive for its betterment.

Here at 641 Fayette Pike the brothers are making plans for house repairs this spring and summer. Participation by the brothers, in an attempt to reduce the expenses, will begin when spring arrives and a new image will be displayed by our house for both old and new brothers.

With the help of the Alumni Chapter and the city of Charleston, our annual Oil Drum Regatta will be held in Charleston on August 31, 1974. The change has been made for the betterment of Gamma Zeta and the whole of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity.

Gamma Zeta's athletes once again are holding their own in intramurals. We are number 1 here at West Virginia Tech in intramurals and are striving earnestly to stay there.

GAMMA ETA Athens College Gamma Eta Chapter has had another year of declining membership but we're still trying hard, putting emphasis on not "how many" but "how good".

Pi Kapps on the campus of Athens are not alone in their dilemma. Since 1967 when fraternities were introduced here there has been a steady decline in all fraternity membership' ' perhaps because of school restrictions.

We need to hear from some of our alumni who have ideas on how to help the Chapter survive the standards the school has placed upon us.

GAMMA KAPPA Georgia Southern College Fall quarter saw the return of only fifteen active Brothers to Gamma Kappa, all of whom were Juniors and Seniors. It was evident that we needed to have a great rush. Through a united effort we succeeded in pledging eighteen fine young men.

Gamma Kappa once again maintained its number one scholastic ranking on the Georgia Southern campus. Our grade-point average of 2.6341 was higher than any other fraternity on campus.

We have been active in the community this year through many outstanding service projects. So far this year, we have collected money for such worthy causes as the American Red Cross the March of Dimes, and for the Mentally Retarded. We also' did some painting for the Catholic Church and gave a Christmas party for the Children's Ward at the local hospital. Homecoming entry for Queen was Miss Joni Banks, a sister of Delta Zeta Sorority. We are most proud of the fact that she won the Homecoming Crown over some very tough competition.

At the present time, we are in the process of obtaining a fraternity house. The plans are in the initial stage and we will need the support of all our alumni if we are to follow through.

We have had some minor setbacks this year but, overall, Gamma Kappa is definitely on the move upward. We are proud to be part of such a fine institution and we shall continue to strive for excellence. Pi Kappa Phi is definitely Tomorrow's Fraternity Today!

GAMMA MU Belmont Abbey GAMMA NU LaGrange College The brothers of Pi Kappa Phi, Gamma Nu Chapter at LaGrange College had another very successful rush during Winter Quarter.

We pledged nine new men into our fraternity and they have proved many times to be worthy neophytes by helping keep the house in shape and planning parties.

Also, we expanded our Little Sisters by initiating 13 new girls into the Order of the Star and Lamp.

Basketball was not one of our strong points this year, but we are looking forward to softball with the championship in sight.

We won the blood drive for the fifth straight time and along with the plaque went a keg of beer to replace the liquid we lost.

Everyone agreed it was worth it.

GAMMA XI Georgia Southwestern GAMMA OMICRON Bethel College This year's basketball team has put our Fraternity at the top.

Our season record was 9-1-0. Now we are engaged in the final playoffs and have high hopes of winning the whole thing.

Winter quarter, we pledged 5 freshmen and 1 transfer student.

With the talents of these new brothers, our softball season next quarter looks to be one of our best.

In other activities, the brothers of Gamma Omicron were second in the annual bloodmobile drive; we are leading the race for the overall intramural trophy. At this time, we are planning several money making projects, such as a wrestling match and gospel sing.

GAMMA RHO Lander College GAMMA SIGMA Armstrong State GAMMA TAU North Texas State GAMMA UPSILON Oklahoma State University Gamma Upsilon is experiencing "growing pains" in the second semester at the new house at 703 University. Adjustments are being made for the new situations that arise. Apathy, which set in, is now being met through the restructuring of the M.R.E. program and the values of the Chapter. Like most chapters, Gamma Upsilon has had its dormant period. The future looks promising as concerned members are not willing to let Pi Kappa Phi become a boarding house.

Involvement in service projects such as our current one, "Operation Gift", is emphasized.

GAMMA PHI University of South Alabama After a very bad fall quarter in all aspects except in the areas of brotherhood and finances, Gamma Phi has turned around completely, got our heads together, and put our minds to work for Pi Kappa Phi and our chapter.

We held a tuition drawing and it turned out to be a great public relations project. In the homecoming lawn decorations this year, we came in fourth out of 13 participating fraternities, again building our name on campus; and, this is the first year we will have pledges all three quarters. We are looking forward to the best fall rush ever.

Some improvements have been made on the House, due to the diligent efforts of the pledges and brothers.

At our first annual Active vs. Alumni Volleyball game and Bar-b-que, we had a 40°/o turnout of Gamma Phi alumni. Plans are in motion for an Active vs. Alumni softball game with refreshments.

Delta Alpha? You wouldn't recognize the place! We h~ve changed so much that we wonder sometimes how we're dolnQ everything right. Our member induction has increased three-fol~ from last year due to our extended efforts in rush, even th~UQ having to work within the framework of university regulat 1 ~~sr The pledges and new brothers we are getting are of such ca 1 e that getting the brotherhood to work is not only easier, but also more rewarding.

We're getting more accomplished this year than ever befor~­ 1 Our efforts in maintaining organized meetings have resulted more work done in committees, lessening the need for omn r directional meeting discussion. We have initiated plans for t'?ue Little Sister Program, for which we have several prospec IV 5 girls (from our "L.S. Rush" parties) to comprise the charter clas r this Spring. Our star-crossed athletic record doesn't refle.ct out present trend of improvement, but participation is at its h1gh~~r On the other hand, we received the honor of being the num . h one out of twenty-six fraternities in scholarship last quarter,, Wl!o the chapter averaging 2.75 out of 4.0. Getting the fraternitY work obviously gets the b.rother to work better. . e As we observe our ments, we don't hesitate to admit that w t can improve. Criticism is appreciated, but none so much as t~ae from our alumni, who perhaps can note faults which otherWIS i would go unattended. In effect, we have strengthened our atum~t relations and plan this Spring to have the biggest (and moxexpensive) banquet in honor of these brothers. We hope. to e t press to them our deep appreciation of their continuing 1nte~gfy in Delta Alpha of Pi Kappa Phi. And nothing could poS 51. complement their interest in our progress more than receiving a Champion Master Chapter Award this year.

DELTA GAMMA University of Nebraska at Omaha It was a shock to all of us in Delta Gamma when brother Robert Placek died of cancer last September. For an associate member project, the fall pledge class took over a project sponsbored by the American Cancer Society which was being done Y an elderly man at the time. .

The purpose of the project was to show the harmful effects of smoking to elementary and junior high students in the Omaha area. The project consists of a film, a qu~stion and answer sesSion and a demonstration with a dummy called "Smokin' Sam,. . The dummy is used as a cigarette smoker in the demonstratton. The tars and nicotines are collected in two glass jars as Sam smokes the cigarette; these jars are then shown to the students. So far we have been to schools and the project, manned by the brothers, is very successful.

The groups we have spoken to have ranged from the smallest of twelve to the largest of four hundred and fifty. The brothers of Delta Gamma hope to continue this community service project next year.

In sports this season the A team for basketball came out with a 5 and 2 record, the B team came out with a 1, 6.

We are looking forward to a good season in volleyball and Plan to have a softball team this summer in the Metropolitan area league.

We are off to our best start ever in our quest to win the all sports trophy between the Greeks here at JSU. We were undefeated during regular season play in volleyball. We were able to carry our winning ways over into basketball. We lost only one game during regular season play and finished up in undisputed possession of first place. We are all looking forward to Greek .

Week and the coming softball season.

The brothers and pledges held a retreat on the top of Cheaha Mountain near Anniston and it turned out to be a great success.

We were able to look ahead and make plans for the future. It was a good learning experience for the brothers as well as the pledges.

Our spring formal was held on March 30 in Gadsden. Many alumni were down and it went off real well.

Come by and visit with us at Delta Epsilon Chapter. Our doors are always open.

DELTA DELTA Northeast Missouri State Delta Delta Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity is working hard to overcome a few minor problems such as an enrollment drop here at NMSU. We are cooperating on work projects including farm labor and selling first aid kits to the local inhabitants of Kirksville. Most of the money goes to better the fraternity house, but enough is saved out to provide for a few retreats. We are currently planning another retreat for group dynamics to take Place on farm acreage near Kirksville.

We are all looking forward to a very eventful summer and a prosperous rush season. We are already looking forward to the Initiation of our latest pledge brother, Max Lytle.

DELTA EPSILON Jacksonville State University Delta Epsilon held its semi-annual election of officers Sunday, March 3, 1974. Those elected are Donny Mallicoat, Archon; Steve Jones, Treasurer; Terry Kendrick, Secretary; Mike Hopkins, Warden; Joey Mathews, Historian; Randall Wood, Chaplain.

These new officers began their terms of office March 17.

Rush began the second week in January and we are fortunate in having 13 fine young men to pledge our brotherhood.

Spring has arrived in the mountains of Western North Carolina and with it a rejuvenation of spirit for Delta Theta Chapter of Mars Hill College.

After an absence of two months, due to Christmas vacation and m~ni-term, the morale here was relatively low, but with the enthus1asm of Beta pledge class our latest initiates we moved right into the activities for the Spring Semester. Our turning point seemed to come with the celebration of our Chapter's first birthday. This event came at the end of our spring rush which produced eight new pledges.

Plans for the semester include our annual Easter party and egg hunt for the Mars Hill Handischool; a super star weekend which will determine the "super brother" for 1974· and a series of fund-raising projects including car washes, s~ndwich sales and doughnut sales.

Plans for our Spring Rose Ball are taking shape. This will be our biggest social event of the semester and Brothers are hard at work planning this event.

As usual, Delta Theta has come through with its spirit. For the third consecutive year Delta Theta Chapter has won the Blood Donor Award by giving the most blood for our college quota.

DELTA IOTA Middle Tennessee State Delta Iota has overcome many hardships that can be encountered by chapters during their first year of charter. We have had many problems, but the brothers have fought together and have become more united each day as we solve each problem. We are the newest fraternity on the MTSU campus and we feel we are establishing a permanent place for Pi Kappa Phi on this campus.

We are now seeking a permanent chapter house for Delta Iota.

Much must be said for our alumni advisory committee as only through their help may we meet this objective.

Most importantly, we have initiated eight new brothers last December at the first initiation held at Delta Iota Chapter. Our new Associate Member Program for the spring semester has a total of . five members. This figure is about average for most fraternities on this campus during the spring semester. We are very pro'Ud of the quality of members of Delta lota~s Beta Class.

We feel that through them the ideals and objectives of Pi Kappa Phi may be met at MTSU.

DELTA KAPPA Pembroke State University

ALPHA BETA Nicholls State University

Delta Kappa Chapter, at Pembroke State University has once again found itself in a very prosperous and outstanding semester.

By full cooperation of the Brothers and Little Sisters, Delta Kappa ran away with several outstanding awards during Homecoming this semester, with our Rose Queen, Miss Wanda Phillips of Fayetteville, winning Miss Homecoming Queen for Pembroke State University. Wanda is a Senior at Pembroke, majoring in Elementary Education. Miss Phillips has been very active in the Little Sister organization. Aside from being our Rose Queen, Wanda has also held the office of President of the Little Sister organization and has been a very hard worker in all the Little Sisters' functions. The Brothers of Delta Kappa are very proud of this beautiful lady.

With the unlimited help and cooperation from the Brothers and Little Sisters, Delta Kappa completed the float that would represent us in the float events. With the theme being "The Way We Were", our float came through for Delta Kappa by winning the "Most Relevant" trophy award. In the end, it was well worth all the time and unlimited work put into making the float that would bring Delta Kappa much pride.

Homecoming was tipped off with a full day of festivities which started at dawn and carried on through the evening. Much of the success was due to the good representation of our strong alumni association present for the festivities.

Finally, Delta Kappa is presently in the prepartions for our first Rose Ball. This will be the biggest event of the year for Delta Kapoa. The Ball will be a formal event with all the trimmings.

A large banquet hall is being rented out and a band has been contracted to play for us. The Brothers and Little Sisters are all eagerly awaiting this exciting event. Delta Kappa is proud of this one year recognition and feel it is only natural to celebrate it in a formal manner.

The Alpha Beta Colony of Nicholls State University has be~~ extremely active the first half of this spring semester. J\long ~~n­ the usual parties and socials, our colony participated 1n a We clave at Northwestern State University on March the 1st. Phi were treated well and learned a great deal about Pi Kapp.a The Beta (Omicron) brothers showed a special interest 1n colony and gave us a great amount of if"!Spiration. e As a fund-raising project for the local day-care center, '!' s have obtained the services of the New Orleans Playboy BU~ 1 ~ 5 to engage in a basketball game with our male faculty me~ e: ~ A project such as this will require a great amount of organ1zatJ~r and coordination. We feel that this game will strengthen prestige and publicize our fraternity on campus.

KAPPA PHI Western Kentucky Kappa Phi Colony produced a fraternity first this past winter.

The colony sponsored and produced its first annual Carnival against Muscular Dystrophy the first ever produced in the United States by a fraternity. The carnival was held November 28, Which the mayor proclaimed as "Pi Kappa Phi Muscular DystroPhy Day" in Bowling Green.

Games with prizes donated by local merchants and a dunking booth occupied by the Vice President of the Student Government, the Director of Fraternities, the Director of Placement and the Assistant Dean of Students, provided the nucleus of the carnival. Brothers Butch Freeman and Kirbv Perkins dressed as clowns added the extra touch to the carnival atmosphere.

Special guests for the day were Mark Conquest, Muscular Dystrophy Poster Boy and Ms. Terry Cocker, Regional Director of the Muscular Dystrophy foundation. Ms. Cocker provided Valuable help in the production of the carnival.

Despite bad weather the Pi Kapps collected nearly $400 in two hours to aid the regional chapter of Muscular Dystrophy foundation in its fight against the disease.

Frank laconis, M.D., Chairman and originator of the idea said, ''We had been searching for a public service project and I felt the carnival would be an excellent selection. It was a way to raise money for a worthy cause but still be fun for the guys in the fraternity and the people contributing the money, while proViding some well deserved publicity for Pi Kappa Phi." Kappa Phi Colony plans on sending a packet concerning the M. D. Carnival to the National office for distribution to other chapters and colonies but in the meantime, any chapter desiring more information can write: Pi Kappa Phi, Box U30, College Heights, Bowling Green, Ky. 42101.

Kappa Phi Colony celebrated founders day Saturday, December 7, 1973 with a banquet in the dining room of the Dero Downing University Center. The guest speaker was Dr. Dewayne Mitchell, educator and world traveler.

The Mark D. Schwarzer award for excellence in intramural sports was dedicated in honor of Mark Schwarzer, a founder of Kappa Phi Colony, who lost his life this past summer in a diving accident while searching for the body of a drowning victim.

Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Schwarzer, Mark's parents, were the colony's special guests for the banquet and were on hand for the dedication of the award in honor of Mark.

Kappa Phi Colony is anxiously awaiting its chartering, which Will take place the latter part of April. All Pi Kapps everywhere are hereby extended an invitation.

It is from the brainstorming sessions of concerned fraternity men that chapters get their impetus and guidance. Pictured here are seminars of Chapter Advisors and Archons held in both Charlotte and Atlanta.

TAU KAPPA DELTA Florence State

•

Tau Kappa Delta Colony, in keeping with Pi Kappa Phi's spirit ot public service, erected playground equipment at the First Methodist Church of Florence recently. Arriving early in the morning, the brothers and pledges began digging the foundations for the new equipment. By noon a dragon-shaped climbing apparatus stood waiting for its first Sunday School Class. A Sliding board was also constructed. Everyone had a great time Working together. We hope the children will have as much fun Playing on their dragon as we had putting it together.

Late last semester, Tau Kappa Delta Colony went to the polls to elect officers for the coming term. Incumbent Archon, Mark Blackburn, and Warden, Terry Huffman, retained their offices for another semester. After a semester out of office, Jim Glass Was reinstated as secretary. Mike Beadle was elected Chaplain for a second time. Newcomers to Tau Kappa Delta Colony's leadership are: Barry Martin, Treasurer; and Whit Dooley, Historian.

Our spring sports program is shaping up quite well. In a Pre-season softball game with Florence State's Kappa Sigma Colony, our team was victorious by a score of 3-2. In recently held intramural bicycle races, Tau Kappa Delta placed seven People in the semi-finals. The competition ended with our John Knaur placing a respectable third in the finals. We expect to do much better in Florence State's coming cross-country bike race.

Whatever it was, it wasn't regulation basketball but the audience at Nicholls State University enjoyed the action.

Alpha Beta Colony sponsored the game between the New Orleans Playboy Bunnies and the NSU faculty and donated the proceeds to charity for mentally retarded children.

Referees were basketball Coach Don Landry and Dean William Duncan who made sure the girls won the garne 125-26. Giving the Bunnies 15 points on one shot and denying the faculty players as little as two points for a regulation basket didn't hurt their chances for winning. The girls even coaxed their opponents into helping them score by lifting them on their shoulders to make easy baskets. The officials let the girls shoot from 10 feet out instead of the usual 15 feet and allowed them to keep on shooting until they finally hit the basket.

The game was followed by a cocktail party and a dance. A plaque was presented by the Alpha Beta Colony to the Assistant Manager of the New Orleans Playboy Club in appreciation for his cooperation and for the wonderful performance of the Bunnies.

---WHAT IS A FRATERNITY? _(; ' A

\~

FRATERNITY IS A LEGACY.

•

It is the experiences, the memories, the inheritance of a tradition, followed by a generation of young college men who together tt·ied to make their years , in school a more enjoyable experience, a learning ex- ' perience rooted in the growth of the individual person to rnaturity within the microcos1n of a small circle of friends.

FRATERNITY IS LoVE.

Trust. Charity. And the metamorphosis of total stranger into a blood brother.

•

•

FRATERNITY IS PERSEVERENCE.

It is faith. It is hope. And it is a lot of hard work.

Lastly,

\

....

FRATERNITY IS SoLIDARITY.

It is sharing, sharing of responsibility and sharing of good times and bad times. And it is togetherness, the togetherness of brotherhood.

An{l to speak of my fraternity, fronl my experience, my / 'sharing, my hard work and my trust, Pi Kappa Phi can ' {' ~ , only be described as one big natural high.
