FALL 1982

Pi Kapp College makes Pi Kappa Phi a better fraternity!

In 1959 the first Pi Kapp College was held to give student leaders "basic training" in their fraternity activities.

Since then there have been 13 Pi Kapp Colleges and nearly 3,000 student Pi Kapps have attended the week-long session.

Pi Kapp College has matured 1 over the years into a smoothly run, exciting and intense practical training session for our student leaders.

--- Held each alternate year on the campus of Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, last summer's Pi Kapp College was highly praised by all who attended.

Personal leadership development and practical training in fraternity operations were emphasized and the abundant spirit of fraternity made the whole learning process fun and exciting. Indeed, if there is any shortcoming of Pi Kapp College it is that more students don't (or are unable) to attend.

The following comments taken from "critiques" collected at the conclusion of this past Pi Kapp College reflect the students' excitement in participating in such a positive and educational event: "Pi Kapp College is the BEST fraternity experience a brother can have!"

"I learned more about Pi Kappa Phi in five days than in the previous three years."

"Pi Kapp College was a great learning experience that has brought me closer to brothers from all over the country."

"I learned an awful lot here. I thoroughly enjoyed it, met many great brothers, and I'm excited to get back to school and practice what I have learned."

"One week changed my entire opinion about our fraternity and our 'National.' Good work!"

"I have received more general education and practical knowledge in five days here than an entire semester at the university I attend. Thanks!"

fraternity experience. Reports this fall indicate a general improvement among most of our chapters in terms of recruitment, chapter programs, and philanthropic efforts (especially with our National Project — P.U.S.H.). This can be attributed in many chapters directly to student participation at Pi Kapp College.

That Pi Kapp College is so successful, and so important to our chapters, has prompted much discussion. Many students and officials have suggested that we have Pi Kapp College every year instead of once every two. Possibly restructuring Supreme Chapter to accomodate more activities like a Pi Kapp College. Realizing that Pi Kapp College has been an important experience for so many members over the years and will continue to be a vital factor in each chapter's progress, the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation has decided to emphasize Pi Kapp College in their fundraising efforts.'

Three hundred Pi Kapps enjoyed the opening night ceremonies of Pi Kapp College which set the stage for the exciting week ahead.

National Chaplain Dr. Perry Buffington makes a point in one of his very popular sessions.

"Awesome! Have one every year!

Each year officers (of a chapter) deserve this incredible opportunity."

"A most thought provoking experience that I wish my whole chapter could experience."

"Surprisingly exciting and interesting."

"Due to Pi Kapp College, Pi Kappa Phi is getting better."

Pi Kapp College HAS helped make Pi Kappa Phi a better, more meaningful

Ed King, Dean of Men at Bradley University, makes an emphatic point during his ever popular talk on the importance of the fraternity ritual.

Small group discussions between delegates from different chapters provide insight on a variety of topics.

Durward Owen congratulates the delegates of Gamma Chapter after they received the Founders' Award.

There is plenty of time for casual interaction and meeting other chapter delegates.

Pi Kappa Phi's Challenge

National President Lonnie Strickland addresses the delegates to Pi Kapp College.

In this day and age, it seems that we are always at crossroads. For the young man considering college this is especially true. To which school am I going to apply? In what subject am I going to major? What career shall I pursue. At each crossroad the decision is very important because our very future depends on our making the right decision. It is a very heavy burden and a very large responsibility.

Today the fraternity also finds itself at a series of crossroads. First, how can we continue to fund the mandate of the fraternity at the level mandated by the Supreme Chapter in Philadelphia; and, second, how can we best manage our resources in order to continue our course of excellence.

First, the funding crossroad. Every Archon and Treasurer has been faced with having to raise dues or house bills. They face the unpleasant prospect of having to bring forth unpopular motions before the chapter, but usually, after an explanation of why the increase is necessary, the chapter tends to reluctantly approve the increase.

The same is true with the fraternity on the national level.

I, along with the National Council, have found it absolutely imperative that our revenue be increased. With the loss of this past year of some $18,000 and prospects of our 1982-83 year being another loss of $23,000, your National Council simply could not stand by and let these deficits occur. Therefore, at our August meeting, we voted unanimously to assess the membership as outlined in the Supreme Law. Why didn't we wait until Mobile to formally present to the Supreme Chapter a request for an increase? I believe all members of the National Council would have preferred waiting; however, if we had waited until August of 1983, we would have already then passed the year that we were forecasting the $23,000 deficit and would possibly be halfway into the 1983-84 year until we saw any revenue improvement. In retrospect, if the National Council had known how serious our country's economy was going to become, we would have requested a fee increase in Philadelphia, especially since there had not been an increase since August of 1979. Working with the Administrative Office, we have attempted to make the annual assessment of $20 as painless as possible.

The second crossroad in our fraternity is that as we have grown, we have slowly but surely outgrown our organizational structure. The National Council, along with the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation and Pi Kappa Phi Properties, have been working very diligently to find ways to make our organization more effective and responsive to membership needs. We feel that we have made progress in exploring several new structures and are now prepared to present a reorganization plan at the Supreme Chapter to be held in Mobile.

Basically the new structure allows greater membership participation through the elevation of the Area Governor to a Fraternity Board position. In this position the Area Governors will have access to the leadership of the fraternity that has never before been possible. The National Council then will be restructured to allow greater participation by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation and Pi Kappa Phi Properties. By bringing the Foundation and Properties more into the fold of the fraternity, we feel the fraternity can better serve its entire membership.

The Fraternity Board, which will consist of all the Area Governors, will take on many of the functions now performed by the National Council, such as charterings, awards, expansion, and membership education. While each Area Governor will continue to be appointed by the National Council, each year the chapters will ratify the appointment of their Area Governor.

Pi Kappa Phi, over the years, has enjoyed tremendous success. Since I've had the privilege of serving the fraternity since 1972, I have seen many dramatic changes. Each time a change was necessary, the fraternity rose to the occasion and met the challenge head-on. Today is no different from the past. If we are going to move forward, if we are going to stay ahead of the game, if we are going to continue to have a position of dominance within the fraternity world, then it's necessary that we accept positive change. If this movement forward requires an increase in the fees and if it requires a change in our organization, I am confident that we Pi Kapps are perfectly capable of rising up, accepting the challenge of change and moving forward to even a greater position of superiority in the Greek World. imet,

The student members of Gamma Chapter - California-Berkeley.

The Founders' Award was created to give Pi Kappa Phi chapters a challenge.

A challenge to be excellent. In order to earn the award a chapter must meet many demanding expectations, in all aspects of fraternity activity -- membership, scholarship, finances, alumni relations, and many other areas. Until this year, no chapter had earned the Founders' Award due to the stringent expectations. But this past school year, after a committed effort of the entire membership, Gamma Chapter - California-Berkeley, became the first Founders' Award wining chapter.

Gamma Chapter was first recognized for their achievement at Pi Kapp College's opening night ceremony. Before an enthusiastic gathering of Pi Kapps from across the country, Gamma Chapter was honored by the creation of a special scholarship fund developed by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation through the efforts of the Gamma Housing Corporation. They received both chapter and

individual awards and a special reception was held in Gamma's honor after the ceremonies. National President Lonnie Strickland traveled to Gamma Chapter this fall to speak at their Founders' Day and to recognize all the members of the chapter for their efforts.

Hopefully only the first of many "Founders" chapters, Gamma Chapter is a deserving recipient of this great honor. What they did, and what any chapter must do to earn this award is set forth in the following requirements: Criteria for Founders' Award Must meet all Minimum Chapter Standards.

At Pi Kapp College, Tom Sayre, Kappa - UNC. CH, creator and designer of P.U.S.H. discussed how P.U.S.H. and Pi Kappa Phi can help each other.

Jerry Mathews, Alpha Eta - Samford, former staff member of the fraternity, provided many helpful hints on recruitment to the Pi Kapp College delegates.

There are literally hundreds of student leaders in Pi Kappa Phi who spend much time each school year in service to their chapter and the National Fraternity. Indeed the strength of Pi Kappa Phi lies in these Pi Kapp leaders. Out of these leaders each year there are a few brothers who stand out. Those brothers with the unique balance of strong interpersonal skills, scholarship excellence, and a wide range of campus and cornmunity activities. From across the country, several brothers possessing these qualities were nominated for STUDENT OF THE YEAR. Earning this year's honor is Bruce Edward Hedgepeth of Chi Chapter -- Stetson University.

"And a vision so bright ..."

PI KAPPA PHI NATIONAL

ROSE The Rose of Pi Kappa Phi As I sat alone with my dreams, a beautiful land I could see, And a vision so bright came to me through the night, With my dream girl I seem'd to be.

Oh her eyes are the stars of heaven that shine as a lamp so bright, Her lips are the rose's petals which open their folds to the light; Her hair is the gold of sunset as it fades in the western sky.

No flower that grows is like the rose, she's the flower of Pi Kappa Phi.

Directory questionaires to be mailed Work on the Alumni Directory is well under way. Soon all alumni will receive a brief questionnaire with a follow-up request to be sent one month later. The prompt return of these questionnaires is essential so that the information in the directory will be current and complete. The completed questionnaire as well as a list of all alumni who do not respond to either mailing will be turned over to the publisher for telephone follow-up.

Alumni will then be contacted directly by the Harris Publishing Company to verify information and to see whether they wish to purchase a directory. Alum-

ni with current addresses who have not responded to the questionnaires and are not reached by phone by the Harris representatives, will appear in the directory with the information provided by alumni records.

Alumni will be listed alphabetically, geographically, and by chapter. Each listing will contain name, class year, chapter, residence address and phone number, and business or professional information when available.

If you have not received your questionnaire by March 1, 1983, or if you do not wish to be listed in the directory, please notify us in writing.

DOE official, Percy Brewington, Jr. receives Presidential Rank Award Glen Porter Brock inducted into the Alabama Business Hall of Fame

Glen Porter Brock, Sr., Upsilon - Illinois

Presently the Honorary Chairman of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, Glen Porter Brock, Sr., was inducted into the Alabama Business Hall of Fame on October 14, 1982. The Hall of Fame, which honors the outstanding accomplishments of business personalities who have brought lasting fame to Alabama, recounted Brock's colorful and successful career: His father was a locomotive engineer and his brother a brakeman with the Illinois Central Railroad. Through them, young Glenn Porter Brock experienced the excitement of the railroad industry, and he too longed to be a part of it.

While still in school, sixteen-yearold Glen Brock began working as a caller clerk on the Illinois Central Railroad. This minor position intensified a dream that had been growing over the years -- he wanted to manage a railroad.

The day he was discharged from the Army in 1918 young Glen Brock took the train from Urbana, Illinois. Still in uniform, with only $98 in his pocket, he enrolled in classes at the University of Illinois to help prepare himself to pursue his dream. During his college years, he disciplined himself to get by on only five hours sleep each night so that he could gain time for both study and jobs he held to pay his college expenses. He also found time to be a charter member of the very young Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity's newest chapter. Upsilon Chapter - Illinois was chartered on May 19, 1921, and Brock was initiate number 11. He graduated in 1922 with a B.S. degree in Railway Administration.

Soon after graduation, Mr. Brock married his childhood sweetheart, Esther Goodwin. In December 1922, the newlyweds moved to Mobile, Alabama, where Mr. Brock had accepted a position as a cost accountant with the Gulf, Mobile and Northern Railroad. Thus began a long and productive association with GM&N. Mr. Brock became known for his hard work and innovative ideas. For example, in 1935, by which time he was serving as General Manager, he began a hostess service on passenger trains. Because he believed that the hostesses should represent the railroad's

Acting Director of the Clinch River Breeder Reactor Project.

A veteran of 28 years of Federal service, Brewington first came to Oak Ridge in 1973 as Deputy Assistant Manager for Construction and Engineering with the former Atomic Energy Commission, DOE's predecessor organization. He later became Assistant Manager for Construction and Engineering, Deputy Manager for Enrichment Expansion Projects, and was named to his present position in October 1981.

Prior to coming to Oak Ridge, Brewington worked for some six years with the U.S. Army Engineer Division in Huntsville, Alabama, as Project Manager, Chief of Project Management and Chief of Engineering Division. He worked on the U.S. ballistic missile defense facilities and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Space Shuttle test facilities.

From 1957 to 1967 he worked with the U.S. Army Engineer District in Mobile, Alabama, in civil works, military and NASA space facilities.

Brewington began his Federal career in 1954 as a Second Lieutenant with the Army Corps of Engineers, serving two years active duty at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, and Ft. Benning, Georgia.

He retired as a Lieutenant Colonel after 20 years of reserve duty with the U.S. Army Combat Engineers.

A native of Benton, Pennsylvania, Brewington holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from Drexel University where he was active with the Pi Kappa Phi Chapter, Alpha Upsilon.

He is married to the former Pauline Raski and they have three children: Patrice, a student at the University of Tennessee; Steven, a dentist in the Karns Community; and Denise, a student at Roane State Community College.

The Brewington home is at 1074 West Outer Drive, Oak Ridge.

Giving Clubs announced CHAPTER SCHOLARSHIP FUND For the Future of your Chapter For the Development of its Brothers The newest concept in the fraternity world is the establishment of chapter scholarship funds. Any chapter of Pi Kappa Phi can now set-up their own scholarship fund through the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation. This is exciting for several reasons. First, all contributions to the fund, by alumni, parents, or merchants are TAX DEDUCTIBLE. Any contribution to a chapter or housing corporation without the benefit of this fund IS NOT tax deductible. This should encourage more alumni to give consistently and at a higher level.

Secondly, the fund is managed by the Trustees and invested by the Foundation's professional asset agents. Donors can be assured that their money is being invested and distributed wisely.

Thirdly, the fund can exist forever.

It is a self-perpetuating resource bank that grows and will always be available for a variety of uses, including emergencies. It can act as a sinking fund and award scholarships to deserving brothers each year. The annual return on the fund's investment is distributed to the chapter each year. If your chapter is interested in starting your own scholarship fund, contact Mike O'Donnell at the Administrative Office for more details.

WI LLS AND ESTATE PLANNING BROCHURE AVAILABLE TO ALUMNI This attractive six-leaf brochure was developed by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation as a service to alumni. The brochure tells why you need a will, what to know when drafting one and how to periodically update an existing will. It is being discriminately sent to all alumni who reach their 25th year of initiation, all Golden Legion recipients, and to those requesting it on the bottom of the annual appeal response card. If you don't fall into one of these three categories and want the information, free copies are available through the Administrative Office.

ALCOHOL EDUCATION PROGRAM OFF TO BIG START In response to a National Council resolution for positive alcohol education programming for Pi Kappa Phi's 110 chapters and colonies, the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation has acted quickly.

An alcohol education manual entitled "The A & P's of Chapter Alcohol Use" was developed and distributed to students attending Pi Kapp College. The manual will be incorporated into member education and monitored by the traveling field consultants.

Dr. Tom Goodale, a nationally reknowned speaker on alcohol abuse, addressed the delegates at Pi Kapp College. Small workshops followed his presentation. Dr. Goodale's talk was videotaped for extensive use among chapters.

With the leadership of Student Advisory Board member Howard Foy, Beta Phi, the Foundation sponsored a community-wide presentation on "Alcohol Abuse Prevention on the College Campus -- Education or Politics," at East Carolina University. Dr. Kenneth Mills, a speaker for the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and an associate professor at the University of North Carolina, addressed over 500 people attending. Dr. Mills' presentation was also videotaped for future use with Pi Kappa Phi chapters.

Recently, Foundation Director Mike O'Donnell was asked by Radford University in Radford, Virginia, to help establish a campus-wide alcohol education program. It is gratifying to know that your fraternity's Foundation is looked upon as knowledgeable and effective enough to set-up a workable alcohol education program for a major university.

Alcohol abuse among college students, especially Pi Kappa Phi's, is a problem of growing concern. Through education and positive programming, the Foundation aims to alleviate this deadly problem.

Foundation Trustees create Student Advisory Board

The newly created Student Advisory Board to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation was represented by several students at Pi Kapp College. Student Advisory Board members include: (from left, seated) Robert Droste, Alpha - Charleston; Steve Shaw, Kappa - North Carolina; and Bruce Foster, Alpha Mu - Penn State. From left (standing): Jay Stuckel, Beta Epsilon - Missouri; Jerry Scott, Delta Epsilon - Jacksonville; Bob Langbien, Epsilon Nu Sacramento; Howard Foy, Beta Phi East Carolina; and Forest Childers, Delta Lambda - North Carolina - Charlotte.

Seeing the need for valuable student input into the ongoing development of the Foundation, the Trustees have recruited some of the fraternity's top student leaders to assist the Foundation in the newly created Student Advisory Board. The twelve students and one alternate represent a cross section of Pi Kappa Phi chapters. Representing both large and small, and young and old, chapters in each of the ten areas, these students will bring a distinct perspective to the Foundation's growing list of new ideas, programs, and pro-

motional strategies. They will meet once a year at Supreme Chapter or Pi Kapp College and regionally at conclaves. The Student Advisory Board will function much like the Council of Archons by communicating the purpose and goals of the Foundation to the undergraduate members. By educating and promoting the Foundation among students, by students, the Trustees hope to foster greater support and understanding of the Foundation for these students when they take their place as alumni.

What is the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation and what does it do? grew slowing until 1972 when Bob Bennett, Alpha Alpha Chapter, set up a $50,000 trust fund within the Foundation's corpus. I think it was at that point when the officials realized what a great purpose and product the Foundation had. It was indeed worthy of big gifts. Annual giving increased and new programs were added. Today, annual giving exceeds $20,000 and assets total $200,000.

Is that good support and a sufficient endowment for our Foundation?

ANIL Pi Kappa Phi Foundation Director Mike O'Donnell is a graduate of the University of Florida where he served as Vice-Archon and Archon of the Alpha Epsilon Chapter. Mike briefly served as a graduate advisor for the Beta Eta Chapter - Florida State while he was an aid in the Florida Governor's internship program. In 1981 he moved into the new Pi Kappa Phi Foundation position to develop its many new programs.

With the increasingly important role of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation in the scope of Fraternity operations, the Trustees employed Mike O'Donnell as the Foundation's first full-time Administrative Director. In one short year the Foundation's educational and leadership programs and alumni fundraising have improved considerably. Now well into his second year, Mike answered some basic questions about the Foundation and its plans for the future.

Why does Pi Kappa Phi need a Foundation?

The Foundation is the vehicle through which the Fraternity can bring a variety of beneficial programs and services to its undergraduate members and alumni alike.

The Foundation is also the catalysis for support and funding of these needed services.

What are some of these programs and services and why are they important?

Scholarships and loans are one. Without the Foundation, many Pi Kapps would simply not have the financial resources to stay in school. Pi Kapp College and the regional leadership conclaves are programs that are all encompassing. At least four delegates from all Pi Kapp chapters get practical training in chapter operations and business management. This can't help but improve the quality of our chapters and aid in the personal development of each member. On another level, Project P.U.S.H. itself can only function under the arm of the Foundation. Administrative Office internships, scholastic and leadership awards and alcohol education are examples of other programs that the Foundation now provides. Overall, Pi Kappa Phi is doing its members a

great service by better preparing them to take their place as leaders in the business world and as good citizens in their community.

You mentioned alumni services. What does the Foundation do for them?

Alumni benefit more indirectly, rather than directly, from the Foundation's objectives. I think they gain a great satisfaction knowing that they can invest in a young man's future and even make a difference in his success. Any alumnus who has ever contributed to the Foundation believes in the value of a meaningful fraternity experience. Some alumni do benefit directly. There are those walking around out there with a degree and a job because of a Foundation scholarship, the experience they gained by being a chapter officer, an intern, or attending leadership training functions. The Foundation has also just developed a brochure on wills and bequests that provides valuable information on estate planning as a personal service to our alumni. Besides all that, the Foundation is a means through which alumni can stay involved. They can affect the progress of their chapter and keep in touch with old buddies because of the continuity we provide.

What has been the growth of the Foundation since its founding?

It's amazing to me that the Foundation was initially born with only $1,000 from one alumnus. The Fraternity then got behind it by allocating a few dollars from every initiation fee until it got on its feet. Obviously it wasn't amazing to the men then. They had the foresight to realize the tremendously expanding role the Fraternity would play and the many needs it would have. The Foundation

A SAFE INVESTMENT WITH A GOOD DIVIDEND Have you ever invested in a young man's college education? It is an investment in which you can take pride. Here is your opportunity.

The Pi Kappa Phi Foundation is dedicated to providing financial assistance and encouragement to young men who desire an education but are without sufficient funds.

The Foundation is a tax exempt organization operated by a volunteer Board of Trustees who are members of your Fraternity. The young men who will be leaders in our nation in the future are on the campuses of our colleges right now;some of them need our assistance and support.

An investment in a young man's college education will help to prepare him better, both for good citizenship and for tomorrow's responsibilities.

The inclusion of the following clause in your will (or your designation of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation in your life insurance policy as a beneficiary) will insure that you will be a part of some young man's future: "I give, devise, and bequeath to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation the sum of Dollars." (or otherwise describe the gift if it consists of real estate,securities, or personal property).

DO IT TODAY For additional information regarding the Foundation, write the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, P.O. Box 240526, Charlotte, NC 28224.

Yes and no. It is all relative. Yes, considering we are really just getting started and compared to where we were just ten years ago. No, considering the number of members we now have and the many, many things we should be doing. Pi Kappa Phi is going to have a million dollar plus Foundation one day. We need one and we will have it. For all brothers past and present and for the future good of the Fraternity.

So what kind of things should the Foundation be doing?

It depends if you want to talk about upgrading existing services or adding new ones. We provide a lot of great programs now, but they are so limited.

The Foundation could grant many more scholarships than it now does if it had a larger endowment. That would keep more of our brothers in school.

The Foundation could endow 100% of Pi Kapp College. At present we can only afford to subsidize a portion of it. We could expand the quality of instruction and the number of students attending, as well as lifting a major financial burden off the Fraternity's budget. The Foundation could sponsor a wide range of

view techniques. Alumni could also benefit tremendously by a service of this nature. Traveling field consultants are another critical function of chapter services. The Foundation could support employment of a few more trained staff members on the road, working directly with the chapters and alumni.

How is the Foundation going to accomplish all this?

Good question. By everybody doing their part. The Fraternity is moving in the direction of turning all fund raising over to the Foundation. That means that all alumni contributions will go into the Foundation, even Voluntary Dues. All contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible whereas contributions to the Fraternity are not. This should encourage more alumni to give and give more. Present and past officials are doing their part. The National Council, Foundation Trustees, Properties, and P.U.S.H. Board of Directors have all collectively pledged in excess of $100,000. The Trustees recently

"Administrative Office internships, scholastic and leadership awards and alcohol education are examples of other programs that the Foundation now provides."

voted to undertake a capital fund raising campaign to endow Pi Kapp College and some of these other programs mentioned. We hope to kick it off at the 39th Supreme Chapter in Mobile. We hope that the student chapters and alumni will do their part by contributing generously.

Are you finding fund raising difficult?

"I think (alumni) gain great

satisfaction knowing they can invest in a young man's future and even make a difference in his success."

leadership and educational programs if its endowment was sufficient to support them.

What's the difference between the Fraternity's budget and the Foundation's?

This is a confusing thing to most of our membership. Many of our members think that everything and anything goes to "national." They don't distinguish the two entities. Although both exist for the same purpose -- Pi Kappa Phi -- their functions and funding are separate. The Fraternity's budget comes mostly from undergraduate pledge and initiation fees and the Voluntary Dues Program. It is governed by the National Council for the administrative needs of Pi Kappa Phi, i.e., clerical, chapter consultant services, executive travel, meetings, national headquarters operations, etc. The Foundation's budget comes from the annual investment return on the endowment's assets and from its own smaller annual mail appeal. It is governed by the Trustees solely for the educational, leadership, and charitable needs of Pi Kappa Phi, like some of the programs and services I have already mentioned.

What other things are planned for the Foundation?

I believe a priority should be placed on developing a nationwide career placement program for graduating students and alumni out of work or looking for better employment. The need is so great! We are finding our student members so much more organized, sophisticated, and career-minded. They need a resource bank of job opportunities, resume writing, and job inter-

Yes, it's very difficult. The last thing people want to part with is their money and only when they know it's going to be used wisely. That is the reason the Foundation is governed by a knowledgeable Board of Trustees. They are all alumni who are accomplished businessmen with a great love and dedication to the programs of the Fraternity. The Foundation also employs a professional investment advisor to insure long-term security and growth of its assets.

What final thoughts do you have concerning the Foundation and Pi Kappa Phi? Putting everything into perspective, we have so much to be proud of and thankful for. Look at where we were just twenty-five years ago. We have gone from a small predominately southern fraternity with about 50 chapters and 15,000 members to a nationally known and respected fraternity with over 100 chapters and 42,000 members. In 1960 we didn't have Properties, the C.A.R chapter newsletter program, or P.U.S.H. The Foundation didn't even have a taxexempt status. In 1983, with all this, we still continue to develop innovative programs. Pi Kappa Phi Foundation is still a chjld of the fraternity world.

It is still suffering growing pains, yet, still competes well with other fraternity foundations that have multimillion dollar endowments and a career director to manage it. We do all right with what little we have. We know how to spread a buck. Our Fraternity has done so well because of the commitment and loyalty of our members and through superb leadership and direction of men like Durward Owen. I believe these same factors are going to transcend into the Foundation's activity and growth. In ten years the Foundation will have at least doubled in size and capacity to provide extensive programs to our membership. Mark my words. It will result because of the whole essence of the Foundation — "Brothers helping brothers."

CHAPTER ETERNAL Play Units for the Severely Handicapped

Alumni P.U.S.H. involvement requested Chapters are inquiring more and more about how their own alumni can be involved in P.U.S.H., Pi Kappa Phi's national philanthropy. Whether alumni have been actively involved, or whether the student members just have a settling need to feel that their alumni approve and care about their efforts for service, we are sure it deserves attention.

The P.U.S.H. Board of Directors are encouraging alumni to participate in their chapter's P.U.S.H. efforts in two significant ways.

1. An alumnus can pledge to contribute a percentage (or even challenge to

match) what their chapter raises. This will generate a lot of enthusiasm among the student members just knowing that their donation will be doubled -- and that they will receive the recognition and P.U.S.H. club awards!

2. An alumnus can order a few P.U.S.H. canisters from the Administrative Office and distribute them in his place of business or other locations around town. This will overall increase the visibility and support of Pi Kappa Phi's own national philanthropic project. You and your chapter will receive the credit.

George McInvale Grant, Alabama '17 (Omicron), was buried with his Pi Kappa Phi tie on -- and with his Pi Kappa Phi ring! What else would you expect from a former U. S. Congressman (27 years) who once threatened to personally initiate his entire female staff just to embarass a fledgling new Pi Kappa Phi executive director who happened to be visiting his first U. S. Congressman at his Washington office.

Then he also would "just happen to be driving by" the most unusual places. Places such as Pi Kapp College in Salem, Virginia; or a National Council meeting at some distant and equally offbeat location. These happen chance visits just also happened to gladden the hearts of students and alumni for he did so much care about his Pi Kappa Phi. George would also do just about anything for Pi Kappa Phi -- except when asked by your administrator to solicit an alumnus for a financial gift, an alumnus who lived in his congressional district and who also was a contributor to George's campaign coffers.

His response was, "Durward, I am working that same side of the street."

Back when railroads provided much of our personal transportation the joy of riding from Birmingham to Mobile, or Washington to New York with George was a delightful, educational, and entertaining event. Almost without description! He did not like to fly for there wasn't enough time to tell his latest political joke; usually on the Republicans or other Alabama Congressmen.

My family was so fortunate to explore the inner sanctions of Congressional Halls with a guided tour from George Grant. We saw and learned things the average tourist does not enjoy. George showed us where George Washington was first entombed prior to relocation to Mount Vernon, where the catafalque that held Lincoln's body was kept, and he introduced us to Catfish Miller, the famous doorkeeper of the House for so many years. We sat in the chair of then House Speaker McCormick and ate Congressional bean soup in the company of people we had previously known only through the newspapers. He showed us many things witnessed by so very few.

There was the time when Brother Grant was in a Columbia, South Carolina, hospital after an emergency operation during the holidays in 1963. Not to disturb the Pi Kappa Phi's Executive Director's Christmas, he remained there alone on Christmas Day just forty miles from the Administrative Office.

Which other U.S. Congressman would have been so unselfish?

And more recently, after one auto accident and one stroke at age eightythree would go to his "umpteenth" Supreme Chapter in Philadelphia, having missed so very few during his sixty-five years as a Pi Kappa Phi. He was always so loyal to his fraternity.

Seth Brooks, in giving his funeral eulogy, quoted Napolean Bonaparte, "he was the kindest man I ever knew," in reference to a Frenchman just died.

How well this applies to George Grant!

Loving, brilliant, caring, warm, hardworking are but a few of the adjectives to describe George Grant. He was indeed a good man, a unique man, a rare member of Pi Kappa Phi. The fraternity will miss him collectively. I will miss him personally.

From Aaron's golden bells (Exodus 28:33-35) to the "Great Bell of Moscow" (440,000 lbs.), bells have been used to celebrate, to summon, to warn, to announce, and to mourn. Throughout history, bells have allegedly calmed storms, averted lightening, dispersed pestilence, extinguished fires, exorcised demons, and turned away enemies.

Although some of these uses may be far-fetched, the whole of civilized life is set to bell music in one form or another.

Simply put, the bell, as a symbol of Pi Kappa Phi, represents good will and unification.

The potential uses of the bell within existing Pi Kappa Phi chapters is as infinite as the bell's vibrations. For instance, the bell has both religious as well as secular uses. From a ritual point of view, the bell provides a visible, outward manifestation of those lessons learned during our induction into Pi Kappa Phi. Those lessons, which we share indirectly with the other world, often need a visible reminder.

From a civic point of view, the bell

Pi Kappa Phi now has 100!

A landmark occasion recently occurred in the growth of Pi Kappa Phi. With the chartering of the Epsilon Omicron Chapter at Villanova University (December 1982), the Fraternity now has 100 active chapters. Although this number could change with the loss of weaker chapters, the prospect of as many as five new chapters over the next year should insure that Pi Kappa Phi will remain a 100+ chapter fraternity. (More details on the Villanova Chartering in a future Star & Lamp).

Director of Membership Clay EdBeta Phi-East Carolina, monds, has kept busy with numerous expansion locations and reorganizations.

Current expansion locations include the University of Denver, where a colony of 23 has been established and is the first Pi Kappa Phi entry into the state of Colorado. George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, and St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia will begin the colonization process soon. Alumni assistance (Chapter Advisor, Housing Corporation Officer, etc.) is welcomed and appreciated at all these new locations.

Contact the Administrative Office if you are interested in helping out in some way.

Other expansion possibilities include an interest group at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and several other locations which are still too undeveloped to report at this time.

Reorganizations, or staff assisted efforts to turn around weak or declining chapters, have been successful recently. This fall such efforts have been conducted at Florida State-Beta Eta Chapter, Roanoke—Xi Chapter, and at Iowa State-Alpha Omicron Chapter where 30 new associates are committed to rebuilding the chapter.

Pi Kappa Phi National Fraternity is committed to building a positive fraternity experience for a growing number of members. It is certainly sound for an organization such as Pi Kappa Phi to maintain a strong expansion policy, both in creating new chapters and in improving existing ones. Further, there is real value in providing the fraternity experience to a growing number of young men.

is a symbol of power. To explain, bells summoned soldiers to arms and sounded the alarm in fire or other disasters. In general, he who commanded the bell commanded the town. At a moment's notice, the bell's sound could summon, rally, and defensively unite a township.

As a result, a city became secure.

Conquerers acknowledged the political importance of bells. Not only were the cannons of the defeated melted down, but the city's bells as well. The conquerers removed the one and only source of mass communication and reduced a group to a mass of confused individuals.

What is "The Bell of Pi Kappa Phi?" To believers, the bell is a symbol of power and religious fervorance. The bell, once identified with our ritual, provides an outward reminder of the rubric by which our founders desired we build and continually rebuild our ranks. The bell is a source of communication. Each time it is sounded, we are reminded of a common allegiance. A group is always more powerful than one individual standing alone–on this premise Pi Kappa Phi was founded. Finally, where the bell is heard, let all know that "Nothing shall ever tear us asunder."

Perry W. Buffington, Ph.D. National Chaplain As the Mobile Supreme Chapter approaches, the Bell Committee is preparing to present more ways in which the Bell can be incorporated into

Pi Kappa Phi. The Committee appreciates the numerous comments and suggestions on the topic which have been helpful in developing the Bell as a national symbol. Further comments and suggestions are welcomed. Send to the Administrative Office, P. 0. Box 240526, Charlotte, NC 28224.
