PI KAPPA PHI FRATERNITY

FALL 1992

A misunderstood message is a terrible waste. • • Durward W . Owen -of veryone' s tim and effort. It does not matter if it is caused by th sender, through faulty wording or proc dur , or if by the receiv r through lack of compreh nsion or wrong interpretation. Have you verb n misunderstood?

What were the r p rcu ion ?

My last editorial told of my using a fact of Virginian birth to nable me to get a chang d assignment in th military wh n I was in the U.S. Air Force. Several alumni thought I was doing so to avoid service to my country. In fact, I did so in rd r to transfer from the "safety" of th Air Force to the U.S. Army. Some still think I was a fool to 1 ave a branch of the service which most oth rs, especially those in the Army, would have given anything to transfer into.

The misunder tood mesage did bring to att ntion how much this might be th ca e for our Fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi. Do you assume that Pi Kappa Phi is th arne now as it was wh n you w rea student? Well, it is not. As you have changed, and matur d, so ha Pi Kappa Phi. Could this misunderstood fact be a reason why you do not participate with your chapter, or a nearby one? Is this assumption on your part that fraternity (as you kn wit) is for immatur students only? Did you know, for instanc , that 10% of the men initiated into Pi Kappa Phi each y ar are alumni? That's right, 10% of the initiates are adults in the business or professional world.

Have you used this misuderstanding in the past as a reason for not contributing money to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation-or for not placing the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation in your will?

P rhaps you hav not comprehended the impact of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation on the chang d

Pi Kappa Phi-or you have placed the wrong interpretation on our many messages asking for your support.

Or, have we fail d to get the understood message through to you through faulty wording or inappropriate proc dures?

Indeed, a misuderstood Pi Kappa Phi Foundation messag is a terrible waste. Let meg t the message straight, once and for all.

The only reason the Foundation exists is to support the educational programs of Pi Kappa Phi. Tax deductible gifts and bequests have built the corpus of the Foundation to over 1.5 million dollars during its years of existence.

Strong leadership from an extraordinary Board of Trustees and competent investment counsel insures that th funds are prudently invested and protect d for future gen rations.

Income from the Foundation is used to provide programs to build better chapters, programs for leadership development, to provide scholarships and loans to deserving students, for alcohol/ drug abuse programs and to upport PUSH America, our national outreach proj ct.

If you b lieve that young men can benefit from high quality educational program in these five critical areas then you should consider making a tax deductible gift to the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation. It is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.

The message is now clear! By the way, if you would like to talk about a bequest or an old insurance policy, or even a charitable r mainder annuity trust, give me a call. We can make that clear also!

Thanks!

Fall Recruitment Update This fall, Pi Kappa Phi had its priority set on RUSH! Over 20 volunteer spen t their time facilitating ru h retreats for our chapters throughout the United States. (Th ir nam are listed to the right.)

New rush materials, including poster , flyers, and T-shirts wer made available to the chapters.

In addition, Pi Kappa Phi Lead rship Con ultants took to the road this fall with rush in mind. Th y conduct d retr ats at forty chapters.

The ultimate goal of this recruitment effort i 3000 new initiates by year's end, compared to the 2, 658 of last year.

The number of initiates was up by a small margin last year, while most fraternities suffered from losse .

Hopefully, with all the attention that has been spent on recruitm nt in this school year, Pi Kappa Phi will continue to avoid the downward spiral being experienced by other fraternities across the nation.

Our thanks goes out to the volunteers listed b low who gave their tim and effort in order to insure the future of Pi Kappa Phi. The e alumni u ed their expertise to conduct rush retrea ts at the chapters listed following their names.

Keeping the Smoke Going . â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Brother Bob Hope finds success in the public eye.

As an undergraduate at Georgia State Univer ity (B ta Kappa), Bob Hope made a li t f the 10 job he would like to have while working his way through school. It was 1965, and first pla e on that list wa working for Atlanta's new professional baseball t am, th Brave . Hope wa hir d as an usher at th new Atlanta-Fulton ounty Stadium and quickly began working in the Brave front offic .

"Thi wa absolutely the great st job in the hi tory of the world for a kid going to college," ays Hop in hi book, We Could've Finished Last Without You. This college job eventually turned into a car eras Hop b arne the Brav ' longtime Public Relations Director and Board M mber. As Public Rei a tions Director, B b Hope gained notoriety for the outrag ous. H wa charg d by team own r Ted Turner with "k eping the smoke going long after the fir was out." H witn d many lo ses on th fi ld, but among his fondest memori s of his time with the Brav was witn ssing Hank Aaron's record-breaking 715th home run. Looking ba kat hi tenure with the Braves, Ilop recalls working with team owner Ted Turn r who, he says, "has no h sitation to do anything."

Upon leaving th Braves, Hope worked for ocaC la and later the public relations firm of Cohn & W lfe. ohn & Wolfe was later purchased by theN w York firm, Bur on & Mar teller, wh r Hop served as ex cutive vice pr sid nt. During hi time with Burson & Mar t ller, Hope helped the Charlotte Hornets of the NBA, Major League Baseball's Florida Marlins, and th Ottawa Senators of the NHL win professional franchises. IlopeisnowpresidentofWhittleEvent whi h

is located in Knoxvill , Tn. Hope recalls that Pi Kappa Phi was "home away from home." He occasionally runs into chapter brothers and re ently ran into fellow Beta Kappa brother Tony Hammer in Atlanta's Peachtree Center.

Bob Hope has been named "most innovative promoter" by Sports Illustrated and is living proof of the adage, "if man can conceive it, man can do it."

Pi Kapp Bill Russell leads Jaycees across the nation.

Bill Russell, Jr. EH #7, started out as a founding fatherofEp ilon Eta Chapter at Winthrop ollege, now Winthrop University in Rock Hill, South arolina. He was a leader in his chapter, holding v ry office but secretary. Once pre ident of his fraternity chapter, todayheispre identoftheUnitedStat sJunior hamber of Commerce, formerly known as the United States Jayc es.

After being elected last June, Bill and his wife Meli a mov d from hi native South arolina t Tul a, Oklahoma, where th Jaycee president lives during his one year term. In reality, Bill will spend little time actually in Tulsa. During the term, he will travel extensiv ly, going as many as 300,000 miles while serving on honorary boards and commissions on national and international levels, as the most publicly visible representativ ofth Jaycee. Nearly265daysofhistermwillbespent on the road.

The United States Junior Chamber of ommerce is a non-profit civic organization which empha izes leadership training and personal development for men and women between the ages of 21 and 39. With over 4,500 chapters, there are 225,000 members nationwide. According to Russell, one of the purpo es of the organization is to prepare people and make them better a customed for their business career .

Much as he did at Epsilon Eta hapter at Winthrop, Russell has quickly moved up the ladder in his organization. After joining the Rock Hill Jaycees in June of 1983, he became trea urer, th n hapter Management Vice Presid nt, and then Presid nt in 1986. While serving as the president, Bill took the chapter to a ranking of number one in the stat .

Ru sell went on to become the South arolina Stat Pre id nl in 1990, where he took the S Jaycees to a number four finish in the nation. In 1991, he was elected to National Vice President. Finally this year, at the Portland Oregon Convention, Bill Russ 11 was elected as the 74th National Pre ident of the United States Junior Chamber of ommer e.

The election is similar to the nomination proces u ed

by United States political parties. Russell started campaigning weeks prior to the Annual M ting, already beginning to raise funds as early as December of 1991 before the June election. At the June convention, votes were cast tate by tate until a single person received a majority of the votes. That sing! person wa Pi Kappa Phi's own Bill Russell.

Bill Russell Russell claims that his succ ss with th Junior hamber of Comm rce is due in part lo Pi Kappa Phi. "Th re has never been a doubt in my mind ... .This opportunity could never have b en afford d me were it not for my xperi nee and training while an undergraduate in Pi Kappa Phi. "Those I adership skills now have an opportunity to affect the dir ction of the Unit d States Jaycee .

"I would have join d the Jaycees regardle s, because my father had been in the Junior Chamber of ommerce ... , however, I do not doubt for an instant that the skills that I picked up ... enabled me to be as successful in Jaycees as I am."

Keeping in Touch . ..

Calling coa t to coast and North to South is what it took to talk with ov r 1200 alumni of th Fraternity.

The 1992 Telethon was centered in the Administrative Office and utilized student and alumni m mb rs of the Fraternity to do the calling.

Stud nt members came from our chapters at UN Charlotte and Duke University. The program was directed by Sally Schafer, Director of Development for PUSH Am rica.

On goal of the Telethon was to rai e money to upport Pi Kapp ollege, the Fraternity's premier lead rship school. To date, over $27,000 has been pledged from 714 members. Each member who pl dged is encourag d to send his contribution before the end of th year. All contributions to th Foundation are tax d ductible to the full extent allowed by law.

The Telethon has a two fold purpose this year. Equally important to

the fund raising was the opportunity to talk with alumni about their Fraternity. Question were asked about the new format for the Stara11d Lnlllp, perception of student activitie on campus, and any new demographic data. Over 500 addresses were updat d and chang d. Social Security Numbers were added to 500 member records. ( The adding of So ial Security numbers to our records is crucial to keeping lrack of our alumni.)

Ted Scharf nstein, Ex cutive Vice President of the Foundation, judged the program a success, saying that "the 1992 Tel thon gives the Foundation an opportunity to talk with our alumni about Fraternity programs. This interchange i vitally important in gauging what interests our 40,000 members. Th ir comment about the fraternity help anchor our approach to program development for the future."

Above: Some of the student cal lers who helped out the Foundation in the '92 telethon.

A Special Note to Omicron Alumni Omicron Chapt rat the University of Alabama celebrated it 75th Anniv rsary in October. To commemorate their Anniver ary, a goal of $75,000 has been et for the Omiron hapter Investment Fund. To date, the student cha ter has contributed $10, 000 from their own funds!

Th Omicron Club, the alumni corporation, has added $7,500 with

other spontaneous individual contributions received of $200, $500, and $2,500. A solicitation will be ent to Omicron alumni asking forth ir upport of this incredible tart.

For many y ars Omicron has b en a leader in all phas sofPiKappa Phi. Now the men of Alabama tak the lead in building their hapter Investment Fund for the fu tur of their chapter.

IRS Approves Chapter Investment Funds Program Development for the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation took a major step forward when the Internal Revenue Service approved the establishment of hapter Investment Fund for all chapters of th Fraternity. Th IRS i sued its ruling in a Private Letter sent to the Foundation in July. Th Pi Kappa Phi Foundation is one of two fra terni tie granted thi tatus.

The importance to the greater Fraternity and to each chapter cannot be understated. The Chapter Investment Fund program allows each chapter, alumni corporation, alumnus and friend of the Fraternity to make a tax d ductible contribution in support of the educational programs for th ir individual chapter.

Viewed as a tax deductible long term savings account, the Chapter Investment Fund program (CIF) will accept donations to be used for exempt purposes. To date, these ex mpt purpose have included the e tnblishment of scholarships and loans for chapt rs a well as the purchase of computer equipment and the purcha eoflibrarybo ks. Thisprogram will b especially effective for those member who may wish to remember their chapter in theirestateplans.

All contributions made to the IF program will b depo ited and invested by the haritableFunds Diviion of th Wachovia National Bank.

The Wachovia Tru t Department has a uperior record of investment return averaging over 10% annual return sine the dire tion of the investment account was assum d in 1986.

Each CIF will have its own accounting record and income earned on the account will be po ted on a quarterly basis. For more information write Ted Scharfenstein 289 South Street, Rockport, MA 01966 or call508-5462214.

"I am 29 years old

Dear Brothers: A a Pi Kapp, 1 am proud of our fraternity's leadership in edu ating our brother on uch i sues as date rape and sub tance abu e. But I was con erned that we had not addre s d a very riou issue of our time, AIDS. After writing to the Stnr nnd Ln111p, I was inform d that th Fraternity is currently working n a program and article on AID and Sexually Transmitted Disea e(STD). When asked to write an open letter on AID , I eagerly acpted.

I want to first tell you of my rea ons for doing so. I am 29 years old and I hav AJOS. My life i probably not any diff rent than many of your . I wa born and raised in a small town in the Mid-west. I am th fifth of ix children born to my parents. My family i not wealthy. I had to truggle to pay my own way through college. I am th only one from my family to graduate from colleg . J w n t to s hoolc tNorthea tMi ouri State University in Kirk ville, Mi ouri (another small town). I joined the Frat rnity, D Ita Delta hapter,in th pringof1983 and served as Vice Arch n in the fall of 1984 and the spring of 1985. I graduated from MSU in the spring of 1985.

As with ome of you, I was sexually activ in college.

At that time, AIDS was new and no one expe ted it to come to the Midwest. It was omething only gay men

got who lived in New York or San Franci co. It couldn't affect me, so like most of you, r went about life. Aft r graduation I moved to Kan a ity, Missouri. I ontinued to hav un afe ex.

At that time in my lif I was not interested in any long term commitment.

After two years, I moved again. Shortly after that, I went to the doctor, b cause the flu I had ju t wouldn't go away. At that time, the doctor noticed that my lymph nodes were enlarged. He ran some blood tests, including the HIV te t.

After waiting anxiously for two weeks, I found out I tested po i tive. l still remember that day in October of 1987. I was ju t thre weeks away from my 25th birthday. I sat for what seem d like hour just crying. I kept thinking that my life was over and I had no future. I sank into a deep depr ssion for almost a year and a half. Then, with the help of my friends, I got up the nerve to tell my parents.

They were shocked and devasta led with th news. I remember the expressions on their faces; it was a look of uch sadness. How could on oftheir hildrenbefacingdeathat uchanearlyage?

They told me it was n t fair, they wer uppo ed to die first. Eventually, we told all of my brothers and isters.

Thank God for my family; they have b en very supportive.

and I have AIDS:" Well, my life didn't end right there. I have now been HIV positive for five years. I have had some minor problems during th first four years, but in 1991 I b gan lo ing weight. I had a growth in my throat and after two biopsies the doctors couldnotidentifywhatitwa . After many month of different treatments, one finally worked. During this time, I lived on pain medication and not much else. I was unable to eat much. I became weak and thin.

Eventually, I became anemic and infected with a virus called Mycobacterium Avium Intraccellulare omplex, or MA / MAL All during this time I was still working as a field repr entative for my company.

I wa giv n a company car to u e. ventually,my health problems took their toll. I blacked out one day and wrecked the company car. My do tor then placed me on disability around Octob r, 1991. Fortunat ly, I hav regain d weight and have overcome the anemia, but I still have MAX/MAL I am still on di ability and probably won't return to work.

However, my hope rides high that a ur will be found in my lifetime. I have dedicat d my life to educating people about AIDS and safer ex.

I know that omeofyou are thinking that AIDS is a homo exual diseaseanditwon'taffectyou. YOU'RE WRONG! AIDS does not di criminate; it doe n't kn w th difference between gay and straight. Th cases of AIDS are increasing in the heteroexual community, especially among t enagers and women. As

you know, teenager start experimenting with sex in high school and continue in college, often with multiple partner and without the use of a condom. F w know of afe sex practice and their par nts and schools do not teach safe sex. Do you know what is safe and what i risky?

That is why I urg every brother to educate himself and to practice safer sex. I am pr ud that the National

"The only way to be 100% safe is to practice abstinence."

Frat rnityisdoingsom thingtoeducate our broth rs about AIDS, STD, and how to avoid them by practicing af ex.

But the National Fraternity cannot do it all. Each brother must take it upon himself to find out about AIDS and afer sex. I urge each chapter to contact its local health agency or an AID organization to learn more ab ut what is safe and what is risky. Sh w your chapter and your school that you are being responsible. Encourage your brothers to att nd a saf r sex workshop, or, better yet, sponsor a workshop

and invite ther frat rniti sand sororities to attend .

Make knowledg of condoms available to every member of the Fraternity, and please u e them if you do decide not to abstain. Most h althag nciescanprovidecondoms free of charge, or you can obtain th m from many AIDS organizations. Although it i important to us condom , they ar not 100% effective. The only way to be 100% safe is to practice abstinence. I also re ommend you get tested. There are many p laces you an go to be te ted anonymously and fr of charge. It is bett r to know and be able to e k tr atm nt early if you test positiv .

I want you to also con ider your u of alcohol and other drugs. Any u of alcohol or other drug can in flu n e the judgements you mak .

It only takes one slip to put your lif at risk.

Make a commitm nt to become educated and to du ate your partnersaboutAIDSand afersex. Don't make the mistak I did , thinking that it won't happ n to me. It did happen to me, and it can happen to you.

Fraternally yours in

"I never would have believed it wa po ible. I am truly amazed by the amount of hard work you completed in such a short p riod of tim .

You and your fraternity arc to be comm nded for such a wonderful project, " said Sue Lounsberry, Exe utive Director of the Center.

In addition to hosting the weekend, Alpha Mu has pledg d to rai e $20,000 for PUSH Am rica which would be an all-time fund-raising record for PI Kappa Phi Fraternity.

"This chapter is no stranger to fundrai ing," said Ken Kaiser, Executive Director of PUSH America. "Last year, the chapter raised $192,000 for another lo al charity so their commitment to PUSH America is totally achievable." Apparently so, as Alpha Mu i currently number one in the nation with over $8,500 already rai ed to date this year!

Efforts Paying Off for FIPG Attitudes about drugs, alcohol and relationships with other people are changing slowly but surely on colleg campu es today, according to a recent survey by the Fraternity Insurance Purchasing Group, Inc. (FIPG). "A key part of the FIPG's mission is to provide assistance to our young members in dealing with these issues that affect all of society," aid Ray Galbr th, Executive Director of Delta Chi National Fraternity.

Durward Owen, EO of Pi Kappa Phi, wa one of the founders of FIPG in 1987. He also served as its fir t president. Founded to effect changes in risk taking behaviors among Greeks, FIPG developed policy to addres these is u sand to provide lear-cut standards.

The recent surv y measured awaren s of the policy and compliance with various asp cts of the policy.

The survey showed, am ng oth r things, that a majority of undergraduates and alumni/volunteers feel strongly that their member hip is sensitive to the issue of sexual harassment, no longer haze , no longer has keg at social events or alcohol pre ent at rush activities, and that chapter houses meet local fire and health code . All are requirements of the FIPG policy. A majority of the administrators al o agreed with the tatements, though less strongly than the other two groups. All thre groups indicated that FIPG is followed somewhat strictly on their campuses.

All groups surveyed demonstrated a trong awareness ofFIPG when given only its initials, including more than 50% of undergraduates, 72% of alumni/volunteers, and 83% of administrators.

There are currently more than 34 national fraternities and sororities that have adopted the poli y, affecting more than 3,000 chapters across the country.

A message from Dr. Phillip M. Summers, National President of Pi Kappa Phi.

LAMPLIGHT

You Can Make a Difference Because.

The National Council held their October meeting in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to celebrate with Omicron hapter (University of Alabama) th 75th Anniversary of their chartering. TheNationalCounciljoin d the alumni and undergraduates at Omicron after our busine s s ssions for their University of Alabama Homecoming celebration and the Omicron 75th Anniversary celebration. Omicron memb rs certainly celebrate in fin fashion. Not only were th re hundr ds of alumni, parents, undergraduate chapter members, and guests present, but there were 70,000 people who sat in the rain to watch the University of Alabama Crimson Tide win their Homecoming game.

Omicron celebrated with a huge tent on their football field siz front yard and served hundreds ofpeoplelunch. Even with the rain, there was a great spirit among the Omicron brothers, as they greeted their alumni and enjoyed the special brotherhood that exists in Pi Kappa Phi. I was impressed by the Omicron alumni chapter meeting, the report by Archon David Adams about the undergraduate chapter's achievements, and the dedication of the alumni to supporting their chapter. There was standing room only at the chapter meeting, and the feeling of brotherhood was strong among all of us who were fortunate enough to a tt nd. Th 75th Anniversary Banquet was held at the oach Bear Bryant Conference Center. Approximately 500 people attend d and join d in the evening of food, fun, and honoring of alumni "who had made a differenc ."

The theme for the 75th Anniversary celebration was "You Can Make a Difference." Harry Caldwell, National Council Secretary, and oth r Omicron alumni helped organize a great evening as they recognized that all of us "can make a difference" in our fraternity.

I truly believ that with commitment (which includes hard work and dedication), every chapter can b "one of the best" on their campus in scholarship, leadership, and ervic . I believe that alumni "can make a differ-

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

nee" with the investment of their time in chapt r activitie ,fund-raising, and advising of the undergraduate executive council. It takes only a few alumni and undergraduates to make a difference in the brotherhood and success of the chapt r. Just a Omicron r cognized their alumni "who had made a difference," every Pi Kappa Phi chapter could do the same We could all name Pi Kapps who, through their commitment and leadership, have "rna de a difference" for our fraternity .

At the 75th Anniv rsary Banquet celebration, Emmett Dendy, an Omicron alumnus (who ha mad amajordifference for Omicron), spoke about the leader hip that was n cessary for the building oftheir current chapter house.

Brother Emmet oneluded his remarks with a chall nge to th und rgraduate and alumni memb rs to consider building a newer and larger hapter house. I have no doubt that omeday Omicron will replace a v ry fine chapter house with a bigger and better on because the Omicron alumni and undergraduates "want to make a differenc ." ongratulations to all Pi Kapp hapt r that ar celebrating anniver ari sand to all alumni associations that are working to help their undergraduate hapter "b the best." The challenge i pre ent for all Pi Kapp to "make a difference" in the life of their chapter. Our goal is that Pi Kappa Phi will continue tor main strong and grow in th quality of broth rhood, and we will make a differen e because we are Pi Kapps.
