PI KAPPA PHI FRATERNITY

FALL 1993

hab路i路tat (hab'l路tat') n. place of abode; habitation: Durward W. Owen ... has a much greater meaning to me after the last few weeks of activity here in Charlotte, North Carolina. In two weeks' time, volunteers (which this time included yours truly) built 22 new homes for "economically disadvantaged" citizens. This brings our total in this community to 193 such homes. I understand this is some sort of a national record.

Of course, I am thinking of the organization called Habitat for Humanity. This organization was made respectable in part by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who since leaving office has become one of America's greatest statesmen.

But this is not my subject--it is greater than Habitat For Humanity. It is, however, not too big for members of our fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi. It is called sweat equity, a phrase often used by Ken Kaiser, Executive Director of PUSH America, Inc. I have been involved in the non-profit volunteer world for all of my life. I have created--have managed--have sat on boards-- and have given money (perhaps not enough). Yet, I have never truly gotten my hands dirty and broken out in a sweat over anything of this nature. (Well, perhaps I have sweated when visiting people with disfiguration and developmental disabilities at wonderful places like Holy Angels and Western Carolina Center and others.)

Last week I changed all of that--at 8:45a.m . on a Monday morning--when I joined 1,200 other volunteers in the activity of home construction. Included among the workers were some of the same people who will occupy the 22 homes. You have never seen such a culturally, economically, ethnically, socially and politically diverse group of

people--including people like me who cannot accurately determine which end of a nail to hit.

By 9:00a.m. I was sweating, really sweating, as I carried lumber ( I forgot my work gloves), cleaned tools, painted and performed other work requiring minimal brain or experience. I then began to realize what Ken means by sweat equity.

I really was being gratified by what I was doing in a way I have never experienced before.

It reminded me of fraternity.

Sweat Equity.

When have you (be you alumnus or student) really broken out in a sweat for Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity? When have you swallowed your pride and done what needed to be done just becauseitneededdoing? When have you done the essential, but unpleasant work?

Sweat equity means getting our hands dirty.

It means breaking out in a sweat. It means sometimes acquiring a few calluses and maybe a few splinters.

The results of sweat equity, however, are more than being smelly and having a few blisters. The results include gratification for having accomplished something, knowledge that something is bigger and better because of your part in it.

If you get your hands dirty and break out in a sweat for your fraternity, I can assure you that your Pi Kappa Phi will be better because of it, and you will also gain more appreciation for the fraternity as you come to more fully understand its meaning.

You ought to try it. Give of yourself, the most valuable asset you own. You will be gratified in ways never before experienced. You will love your fraternity more, and Pi Kappa Phi will be better all because of your sweat equity. Just do it!

You will also be electing the National Council, the board of Pi Kappa Phi volunteers that the Supreme Chapter will empower to make all of the decisions while the Supreme Chapter is not in session.

For Alumni Only Join your brothers for a special time reminiscing at the traditional Founder's Breakfast, which will be held on the morning of Monday, August 15. This is always a special time that usually lends its ear to many tall tales.

Pi Kapp College 1993 -Break On Through Brothers from all over the nation came together last August to the College of Charleston, the place of our founding, to attend Pi Kappa Phi's premier leadership school, Pi Kapp College.

Pi Kapp College, held every other year, is sponsored by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation. The leadership school is one of the finest among fraternities. For each of our chapters, it was a time to learn, a time to have fun, and a time to rejoice in each other's accomplishments.

The theme of the 1993 Pi Kapp College was "Break On Through to the Other Side: Building the Basics of Brotherhood," representing the intent that each conference participant should leave Pi Kapp College with the ability to cause a major breakthrough within his chapter. It was stressed that each chapter should offer its members the best experience socially, physically, and mentally while providing, also, an outlet for community service.

This Pi Kapp College had the largest attendance ever, with 593 undergraduate students registered to attend.

From their arrival on Wednesday, August 11, until their departure on Sunday, August 15, the students had a full plate of activities and learning. There was, however, plenty of time for talking with staff members or National Council members.

On Wednesday, after registering, brothers had the opportunity to take tours of the College of Charleston

and see the Pi Kapp historic sites. That evening, during the opening session, all watched with admiration as the Area Governor of the Year (Allen Woody, Xi-Roanoke) and the Student of the Year (John Babel, Delta SigmaBowling Green) were recognized.

On Thursday morning, Dr. Richard Voorneveld, a highly popular speaker and an Alpha initiate, gave insight to the group session on bettering their academic achievement by learning to become balanced. Other popular speakers of the week included Will Keirn, Eileen Stevens on the subject of hazing, Brother Ernest Johnson on Sales and Recruitment, Ed King on ritual, and Pi Kappa Phi's own "Dr. Buff" Buffington on the nature of success.

Besides all the group sessions, throughout each day there were scattered break-outs on topics from improving associate member education to communication skills.

A special educational track added this year was the Vice Archons Track. At each break-out, there was a session on an aspect of recruitment. This special track was tremendously successful.

Another new feature of this year's Pi Kapp College was the introduction of two $500 scholarships.

At each session and at random break-outs, brothers' name tags were punched to indicate attendance.

At the final session on Saturday evening, there was a drawing from all the fully punched name tags for the scholarships.

The big winners of the scholarships were Mike Estes, Gamma LambdaMissouri Rolla, and Jeffrey Kautz, Epsilon RhoLenoir Rhyne.

It was not all work and no play for the Pi Kapps in attendance, though.

Others commented that the most memorable moment was when Alpha initiate Lawrence Powers presented his wife, Mary Fogarty Powers, daughter of Founder Simon Fogarty. Five hundered brothers rose to their feet to serenade Mrs. Powers with "The Rose."

On Saturday, both the North and South Teams of the Journey of Hope ended their cross country bicycle journeys from San Francisco. The teams arrived at the College and ended their trips with a special ceremony on the cistern at the College of Charleston. They were greeted by family, friends, news cameras, and Pi Kapps from all over the country. The cistern is the traditional location of the College's commencement exercises. The college had previously never given permission for anyone to use the for any other public ceremony.

Finally, on Saturday evening, after an incredible onstage presentation of the Journey of Hope teams with lights, music, and much fanfare, all initiated brothers walked to St. John's Lutheran Church, the church in which Founder L. Harry Mixson was baptized. There, after a splendid Founders' Memorial Service conducted

by National Chaplain J. Patrick Figley, everyone witnessed the initiation of J. 0. Linney, father of Pi Kappa Phi's Director of Business Affairs, Emerson Linney.

Brothers have time out for fun at Folly Beach.

The Council of Archons is instrumental in serving the administrative office and the National Council of Pi Kappa Phi. Its members, all dedicated leaders in their chapters, need not be Archons.

According to Owen, this Council of Archons may be the hardest working council yet.

"These young men really pulled through for their fraternity at Pi Kapp College. The staff really utilized their help, and they were more than willing to perform, " said Owen.

In addition to lending a hand at Pi Kapp College, the Council of Archons is called on many times during the year for feedback on certain issues.

John Babel ...

Student of the Year The highest honor bestowed upon undergraduate members of Pi Kappa Phi, the "Student of the Year Award," went this year to John Babel, an initiate of Delta Sigma chapter at Bowling Green State University.

While there are countless applicants for the award, it is challenging to find the one individual who excels in both his course of study and in the fraternity above all others.

Babel, who served his chapter as Archon, Vice Archon, Historian, and House Manager, was told early on to "leave Pi Kappa Phi stronger than you found it." This became his goal-a goal which he definitely achieved.

When elected to Archon, his chapter was below standard in almost every area. He fought hard to improve his chapter, and brought it back from the brink of being shutdown.

Babel's academic career has also been quite successful. Graduating with a B.S. in Environmental Science and a B.S. in Psychology this past spring, he earned a 3.8 cumulative grade point average.

Along the way, he was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi, Mortar Board, and Golden Key National Honor Societies.

At Bowling Green, Babel was also very active on camp us, serving as Vice President of the Student Body.

He also served on the school's Student Legal Services' Board of Directors, as well as the President's Panel.

In 1990, as a Special Project Head at the United States Dep artment of Energy, he completed an in-depth market study of Solar Detoxification Technology.

His career aspirations, however, have led him to Georgetown Law School, where he will be matriculating in the Fall of 1995, after completing a one year stint as a Leadership Consultant for Pi Kappa Phi.

At Zeta Gamma: Recruitment is on Fire!

In the middle of the so-called "rush recession," some are finding that recruiting their biggest associate member class ever is still possible--if you know how to do it right.

Zeta Gamma-North Dakota is one of the chapters that has definitely done it right this fall, according to the president of their housing corporation, Steward Sandstrom. Their fall class has 29 new associate members.

The chapter is definitely fired up.

What was their formula for success?

According to Loney, it was E=MC 2, meaning Excellence is Manpower (Chapter Commitment). Using this as their guide, and believing that they are the best there is to offer, Pi Kappa Phi at the University of North Dakota has reaped results.

Zeta Gamma proves once again that fraternities are just as viable today as ever.

Florida State Tops

FALL RUSH SCOREBOARD

Florida State's Beta Eta Chapter is is the top recruiting chapter this fall, according to administrative office records.

The chapter has recruited 43 associate members.

Congratulations, Beta Eta!

The following is a list of chapters who have reported the men they have pre-initiated this fall.

If a chapter does not appear, it means they have not reported their new associate members.

(These numbers are as of October 27, 1993.)

Recruitment Excellence Award Instituted

A new incentive has been developed and instituted to recognize those chapters who excel in the area of recruitment. It is the Recruitment Excellence Award. Recipients receive an engraved silver trophy bowl.

The new award, which premiered in August at Pi Kapp College, recognizes those chapters who have met their initiation goals for the preceding school year.

Chapter goals are based on the average number of initiates for the past three years, plus five initiates.

The first recipients of the Recruitment Excellence Award were Alpha Eta at Samford, Alpha Sigma at Tennessee, Gamma Rho at Lander, Delta Alpha at Virginia Tech, Delta Omega at Texas A&M, Epsilon Mu at Bradley, Epsilon Xi at LaSalle, Zeta Gamma at North Dakota, Zeta Lambda at California-Chico, Eta Delta at Kennesaw, and Eta Epsilon at Maryland.

According to Archon Jason Loney, "While other fraternities on campus were throwing 'ticket parties',lawn bashes, and bungee jumping competitions, Zeta Gamma was in the residence halls ' dormstorming' for nearly 300 hours."

In addition, the chapter held several recruitment events, a night of serenading in the women's residence halls, and a PUSH America awareness builder.

Joseph Alexander-Mr. Pi Kappa Phi 1993 Sitting in the audience at Pi Kapp College on Saturday, August 14, Brother Joseph Alexander, Gamma Alpha-Livingston, realized that people were talking about him.

The people were Ted Scharfenstein and Lonnie Strickland, both past Mr. Pi Kappa Phis, and they were introducing Alexander as the 1993 Mr. Pi Kappa Phi. To be named Mr. Pi Kappa Phi is the highest distinction that can be bestowed uponanindividualmemberof the fraternity by the National Council of Pi Kappa Phi. Joe Alexander had come to the leadership school under the pretense of facilitating a meeting of the Area Governors. Little did he know he would walk away with the fraternity's highest honor.

In introducing the award, Ted Scharfenstein, Executive Vice President of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, proclaimed, " In its 89 year history, the Fraternity has recognized 27 men for their outstanding service to their chapter, the Greater Fraternity, or both. There are no specific criteria for the award other than the judgement of the National Council. The candidate exemplifies all that is good within Pi Kappa Phi." Initiated into Gamma Alpha Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi in 1964, Brother Alexander is the Executive Director of York Housing Authority Public Housing. He has served as the Chapter Advisor of Gamma Alpha for the past

Star & Lamp

twenty-two years and is a charter member of the Nu Phi Society, having attended every Supreme Chapter since his initiation into the fraternity. He is also president of the Livingston State Pi Kapp Housing Corporation.

In reading the resolution from the National Council, Lonnie Strickland, Omicron-Alabama, described Alexander as" a most devoted and caring type of leader, bringing credit to his profession, and representing the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity by exemplifying all of its rituals and traditions in every phase of his life."

In addition, it was pointed out that he has assisted the Administrative Office on numerous occasions by devoting selfless time as a help to the Pi Kappa Phi Chapter Consultants visiting the state of Alabama, and he continues to perpetuate strong alumni relations with the Gamma Alpha Chapter and its alumni.

Alexander was presented with a framed document of the official resolution from the National Council, which ended: "NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Brother Joseph Alexander be extended the Fraternity's deepest appreciation for his proven and caring long term devotion to Pi Kappa Phi. "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the National Council of Pi Kappa Phi does hereby declare Joseph Alexander be officially designated Mr. Pi Kappa Phi for 1993."

Congratulations to Joe Alexander.

Allen Woody-Area Governor of the Year The 1993 Area Governor of the Year award was presented to Allen Woody, Area Governor of the Virginia/ West Virginia Area. Woody is an initiate of Xi Chapter at Roanoke College. The award was presented during the opening session of Pi Kapp College on August 11, 1993.

In his introduction of the award, National Council Member Jim Krucher, Beta Alpha, said, "The man deserving of this award must set goals for his area, develop a plan for attainment of those goals and facilitation of closure in each respective area. Furthermore he must be readily available and considered a reliable worker by the student chapters, the Chapter Advisor, National Staff, Executive Director and National Council."

Allen Woody was definitely critical in the successes of his area. He hosted an outstanding conclave in February of 1993. Not only did he get the students involved, but he also had 23 alumni and 3 non-Pi Kapps in attendance, utilizing their abilities and experience in order to conduct an outstanding Career Seminar. In addition, he hosted a reception after the conclave, inviting all area alumni to attend.

In addition to the normal duties of an Area Governor, Woody served on an Ad Hoc committee concerning the Administrative Office. He also served as Chartering

Allen Woody accepting the Area Govenor of the Year Award

Officer for the installation of Eta Iota Chapter at Christopher Newport.

During this past year, his goal was to contact each of the chapters in his area at least three times during the year. All were contacted at least five times.

Another goal was to personally visit 10 chapters. He also met that goal, visiting 15 of the 17 chapters in his area. He appointed 4 chapter advisors this year, leaving no chapter in his area without an advisor.

Jeff Egilsrud-Chapter Advisor of the Year A good chapter advisor can be the key to continued success of a particular chapter. Perhaps this is why Alpha Delta Chapter at the University of Washington has been so successful, as Alpha Delta's Chapter Advisor, Jeff Egilsrud, is the 1993 Chapter Advisor of the Year.

According to chapter archon Evan Erickson, "[Jeff] has risen to the occasion on every difficulty the chapter has had, be it minor or major, and has remained as enthusiastic and dedicated as the day he began."

An initiate of Omega Chapter at Purdue, Egilsrud has taken another chapter under his wing, working as if it were his own. He has become a role model to the undergraduates with whom he now works.

Not only does he work hard for Pi Kappa Phi, but he works for the entire system. After a female student lost her eye from a flying beer bottle, the Greek system at the University came under scrutiny. Serving as a memberat-large of the Alumni Interfraternity Council at the University, he volunteered nights and weekends to help improve the system at the university. Part of this work included forming a GAMMA chapter (Greeks Advocat-

ing the Mature Management of Alcohol) at the University's campus.

Congratulations, Jeff, as you continue to have an outstanding fraternal and spiritual impact on both Alpha Delta and the Greater Fraternity.

Brothers reported Alive and Well In the Summer 1993 edition of the Star & Lamp, it was incorrectly reported that Ralph Dennis of Gamma-UC Berkeley, Fred Crisp ofKappa-UNC and Timothy Molinari of Alpha Zeta-Oregon State had joined the Chapter Eternal. It is our pleasure to announce that they are alive and well. We apologize for any distress and confusion which this may have caused.

Pi Kappa Phi recognized by ASAE Pi Kappa Phi has recently been recognized by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) for PUSH America's Kids on the Block Program.

The award reads, "The American Society of Association Executives is pleased to add the name of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity to the Associations Advance America Honor Roll for their program which has resulted in significant benefit to Society, reflecting great credit on associations and their members."

The "Kids on the Block" consists of puppets portraying children with disabilities. Undergraduate Pi Kappa Phis spend a semester traveling around the country to elementary schools in order to raise awareness and understanding.

!Rga[ :Fami~ o/a[ues ike many stories in the Star & Lamp, this is a success story-a story of strength, devotion, and love. It is the story of a Pi Kapp from Iota chapter at Georgia Tech, his wife, and the family they have raised.

Joseph Kayes and his wife Nancy grew up outside of Buffalo, New York. Now living in Cincinnati, Joe was initiated into Pi Kappa Phi at Georgia Tech in 1961, and has worked as an engineer for Procter & Gamble for thirty years.

The couple always wanted a large family.

While every Pi Kappa Phi can claim an extended family of many Pi Kapp brothers, not too many can claim an immediate family quite as large as this one was to be.

The first child was Becky (now married and living in Atlanta), followed by Greg (now a student at Notre Joe and Dame), and then Andy (now a student at Duke University).

Having three birth children already, the Kayeses still wanted a larger family. "So many kids needed homes, we decided adoption would be a better way," said Nancy Kayes.

As a result, Barbie, then an infant from Korea, came into their lives.

After her adoption, it was discovered that Barbie had cerebral palsy.

As with many parents of children with developmental disabilities, it was not easy news to take. "In the beginning, it was real scary," said Nancy. She was to soon discover, however, that a kid is a kid-each having potential that needs to be developed.

After adopting Barbie, the family

L

adopted another child (without disabilities.) Then, another was adopted. Then another. Then another.

Over a span of sixteen years, eleven children have been adopted

by Joe and Nancy-two from Korea, two from Hong Kong, and two from India. All are Asian. Ten of the eleven have disabilities such as cere-

Nancy Kayes with their family bral palsy, spina bifida, severe bums, and learning deficiencies. One has no arms. Their ages range from 8 (Josh) to 18 (Barbie). Now, when the family gathers for a dinner, Joe, Nancy, Becky, her husband Jim, Greg, Andy, Barbie, Lisa, Katie, Kristen, Matt, Mark, Kira, Mike, Tom, Lee Ann, and Josh sit around three separate tables.

As one can imagine, life is not always easy. "The logistics are the hardest part," said Nancy. "Three kids are now taking music lessons ....

Seven kids were playing soccer at one time. The most difficult thing is getting everybody where they are supposed to be."

In addition to getting everyone to

the right place at the right time--Joe jokes that Nancy could get a job as an Air Traffic Controller--there are also other logistical considerations, such as trips to the supermarket and doing laundry. Four loads of laundry are done a day, often until very late at night.

"We never said we were going to havethismanykids,"JoeandNancy will tell you.

But as they adopted these children, the love in their hearts grew.

The more they gave, the more the love developed, and they needed to share that love. But as each kid came, one by one, they knew that what they were doing was right.

"Everybody has as much right to a decent life as everyone else," says Nancy. Joe and Nancy have certainly done their part in providing a decent life for others, but their own lives have been enriched more than they ever could have anticipated.

"The best part is seeing the kids achieve. Wenolongertakeanything for granted. Matthew doesn't speak, and took his first steps at the age of seven. What a thrill when he took those footsteps! " Have they finished adopting?

Honestly, Joe and Nancy do not know. Theydoknow,however, what they want for all fourteen of their children: "We want our kids to be as happy and independent as possible."

Chapter Investment Funds Grow!

Thirty chapters and their alumni have joined the growing list of Brotherhoods with a funded Chapter Investment Fund. This recent growth brings the number of groups with a tax deductible Chapter Investment Fund to fifty.

Dr. Lonnie Strickland, Chairman of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation, recently said, "This is an excellent start. The Chapter Investment Fund program is a tax deductible vehicle that will help student chapters have a more complete fraternity experience.

Income from their funds will assist our chapters with scholarships, tutors, in-house computers, scholarships for Pi Kapp College and other exempt activities. These long term savings accounts will pay many divi~·

dends in the years to come. Each chapter, parent, and alumnus who contributes is making a commitment to a better future for Pi Kappa Phi." Donations to the Chapter Investment Funds may be made at anytime, by anyone, in any amount. A chapter Investment Fund has been established for each chapter of the Fraternity. This means that individuals can make tax deductible gifts earmarked for his specific chapter.

The Fund becomes operational when the first contribution is made.

All donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law. The program is administered by the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation.

Estate Planning Brochure Available The Foundation's new Estate Planning brochure is now ready and available to you at no cost.

The brochure covers the four components of estate planning-your last will and testament, a durable power of attorney, a living will, and a letter of instruction. It is written in layman's language and will prepare you to talk with your attorney about these very important matters.

The important thing to remember is that the State will decide how to distribute your assets if you do not take the time to plan. Everyone has accumulated some assets that they should wanttodirecttofamilymembers, friends, or selected charities.

There is no guarantee that the State will direct the distribution of your effects in the exact way that you may prefer. For a copy of the brochure, write Ted Scharfenstein at 289 South Street, Rockport, Massachusetts 01966.

Foundation Trustees Set Goals The Board of Trustees of the Pi Kappa Phi Foundation met at 9:00a.m. on Saturday, August 14, 1993 at the Hampton Inn in Charleston, South Carolina. Present were Chairman A. J. Strickland, Paul Drake, Frank Lane, Phil Summers, and Ted Scharfenstein. At various times during the meeting, members of the National Council were also present.

The Trustees instructed Ted Scharfenstein to: * develop a report which would show the change in assets of the Foundation on a quarterly basis for a five year period. *Restate the market value of the Foundation's assets invested by the Wachovia Bank. * Capture and report fund raising expense by category. * Look in depth at the sources and uses of the Foundation's funds. * Develop a "Careers for Alumni" Foundation Program * Develop an approach to involve parents in Founda-

tion programs. * Track and report progress towards realizing 30% annual corpus growth. * Continue to work with Ralph Rumsey in developing new by-laws. * Develop a Career Link programming track for educational meetings. * Develop a five year financial view with the intent to build the Foundation's assets. * Assume the leadership role in the new National Headquarters project. * Restructure Foundation to facilitate more effective leadership of fund raising activities. * Sort out marketing functions of the greater Pi Kappa Phi. The Trustees received reports and an update on the administrative activities of the Foundation. The trustees gave a report to the National Council at its meeting on A ugust14, 1993. With no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 12:45 P.M.

Duke Build$ their CIF One question usually asked about building a Chapter Investment Fund is, "How do we get started?" The simple answer is to make a commitment to save for the future and send an affordable donation to the Foundation.

This past summer, Frank Wrenn, Pi Kappa Phi's Director of Communications and the Mu chapter Archon when Duke was rechartered in 1991, took it upon himself to start a CIF for the chapter. The first step was to make a personal commitment, in his case, $100.

Frank then visited the chapter and found the Chapter Treasurer, had already been reading up on the benefits of the Chapter Investment Fund. Frank told the chapter of his desire for them to build for the future, and he promised to contact other recent alumni to encourage them to match what the chapter would commit.

Mu chapter committed $500, and this sum has since been matched by the contributions of the recent alumni.

The next step will be to write the alumni of the sixties and the seventies and tell them what has been done, and to ask for their help. When that step is completed, a letter will be written to the alumni from previous generations and report the growing success story. This effort will be repeated in future years. With no doubt, Duke's Mu Chapter will have the financial resources to not only compete, but to excel.

Duke's Majestic Chapel All this happened because one man, Frank Wrenn, said why not us? Congratulations on a job well started.

If you want to talk with Frank about how he went about building the CIF for Mu Chapter, please call him at (704) 523-6000.-- Ted Scharfenstein

Journey of Hope: An Onlookers Perspective As a rookie journalist and a member of Pi Kappa Phi, I had the most enviable task of covering the 1993 PUSH America Journey of HopefortheSanduskyRegister during the teams stop in Sandusky. It was the first time I had seen the Journey from the "other" side.

First, let me say I had mixed feelings about covering the story. I mean, as a journalist, I am required to be fair and objective in my coverage. The problem was: How do I remain objective to a subject that is so close to me? The answer: I didn't.

Now, I know that's probably not the best thing a journalist can say about himself, but I think the rules can be broken because of my reason. The reason was the hosts of the Journey participants, Double S Industries--a company which hires people with disabilities. As excited as I was to see these guys roll into town, the people at Double S made me look morose with their enthusiasm.

The tour riders were delayed by a State trooper, so they were late getting to their destination. The people at DoubleS sat anxiously waiting. A few peeked their heads into the office and asked if the riders had been sighted, while others kept watch for them.

A few of the people who benefit from the fine work of Double S came by and offered their opinions on the Journey to me. "These guys are nice," one girl told

me before ambling down the hall, while another announced the team's presence with shrieks of happiness.

It is important that Pi Kapps realize the scope of the impact of PUSH America. It is through this service project that we send a message of caring and compassion. It is quite possibly our finest attribute as a fraternity and also our best way to reach others with our message of 路disability awareness.

One thing that was made clear to me by the people of DoubleS Industries was the enjoyment they get each year when they house the tour during their overnight stay. Their excitement was larger than my own, and they went completely out of their way to get anything needed for the riders.

The gentlemen of the 1993 Journey of Hope can be proud. They conducted themselves with class. They praised thecityofSandusky and Cedar Point. These men are "nice," not because they take one whole summer to devote time to a

worthy cause, but because when they park the bikes, they continue to share that message. They, as with all Pi Kapps, embody the words "Strong Enough to Care."

From the riders to the crew to the publicity representatives, they are Pi Kappa Phi. The headline attached to my story in the Register the next day was "Pedaling with a Purpose," which seemed apropos considering it summed up the entire attitude of the men who are involved. I now know a little more aboutwhat these men do for a full summer and also that it is for the benefit of the people they encounter on this "Journey."

Woodrow Wilson once said, "There is no idea so uplifting as the idea of the service of humanity." Wilson may have been talking about politics, butPiKapps can say the same about their service to PUSH America as welL--Michael Thron e, Delta Sigma Chapter, is a member of the Sandusky Register staff in Sandusky, OH.

PUSH America: Added Focus on Volunteerism Pi Kappa Phi stands far above the crowd when it comes to community service, as undergraduate members have demonstrated their commitment to PUSH America by volunteering with organizations serving people with disabilities in their local communities.

In a more focused effort to mobilize and direct volunteer energies of undergraduate members, PUSH America has recently added Chris Orr to the staff as volunteerism coordinator. Chris, a graduate of the University of Washington and member of Alpha Delta Chapter, has a strong history with PUSH America, as he was a member of the 1992 and 1993 Journey of Hope teams, and completed a semester-long internship with PUSH America.

This year, Chris will focus on researching existing volunteer relationships to determine what makes them work, and marketing their successes to other chapters. He will also work with facilities and organizations serving people with disabilities to assess their volunteer needs and how members of Pi Kappa Phi can help meet them.

Alumni members will also be encouraged to become more involved in service efforts, and will be notified regarding PUSH America's regional service projects like Give-A-PUSH Weekend and PUSH Camp.

Any undergraduate or alumni members of the Fraternity interested in learning more about establishing a volunteer relationship or parcipating in a PUSH America project should contact Chris Orr at (704) 522-7874.

SPECIAL Pi Kappa Phi Expands its Areas In a move designated to allow more support of the undergraduate chapters and easier travel to Conclaves, the National Council has decided to increase the number of Areas and Area Governors from 10 to 13.

The decision was announced at Pi Kapp College. There, most chapter delegations got a chance to meet with their respective Area Governors.

Several larger areas were split in two in order to give the undergraduate chapters more local support. The Northeastern Area was split into two groups, as well as the old North Carolina/South Carolina Area and the old Florida/ Georgia Area. In addition, areas were renumbered to reflect the geographic location.

With the new areas come several new Area Governors.

Kevin Corcoran, Area Governor of the new Area I, which serves New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, is an initiate of Epsilon Omicron Chapter at Villanova. Kevin is an Investment Banker /Securities Analyst in New York City.

Serving as the new Area Governor

More areas and Area Governors translate into better support for our undergraduate chapters.

West Coast chapters (Area XIII) is Robert Langbein, a founding father of Epsilon Nu Chapter at Cal. StateSacremento. For the last three years, he has served as Chapter Advisor for Zeta Rho Chapter at Cal. StateFullerton. Langbein, a District Sales Manager for Sherwin-Williams, Co., is married and has two children.

for the South Carolina chapters (Area V) is Jay Barrow, an initiate of Epsilon Kappa chapter at Southern Tech.

Jay is a former Administrative Office Staff member. He now resides in Columbia, South Carolina, and works for Eastman Kodak.

Paul Green is the new Area Governor for the Florida Chapters (Area VII). Paul, also a past Pi Kappa Phi staff member and a past Director of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, is an initiate of Alpha Epsilon chapter at the University of Florida. He is also a former chapter advisor of Mu Chapter at Duke University. Paul now teaches math in Florida.

her when I was drunk- hell, I had a girlfriend at the time who I was trying to be committed to. I thought ... has this happened before? It did . . . numerous times. I slept with manywomenandnearly all the time I was drunk! I drove my car drunk, I did crazy things when I was drunk. It was January 6, 1991 when I realized I had a problem with alcohol. I admitted I was an alcoholic that day, and I haven't had a drink since!

That phone call has turned out to be the biggest blessing in my life. On February 23, 1991, I became a father. I had a beautiful daughter who I had no choice but to put up for adoption. We both made the decision and there's no doubt in my mind that it was the right one. My daughter has a wonderful family and a promising life to look forward to.

The mother is also doing OK. Fortunately, I didn't ruin her life. I stood by her for two months, calling her every day trying to comfort her. I didn't even know her, the whole situation was the result of a one-night stand. Can you imagine calling the mother of your child every night and not really knowing her? It was almost like small talk on the phone, but I did my best to make her life bearable.

I put her in that situation and I got into the same situation because I was drunk!

It could have been worse when I think about it. I could have killed someone while driving drunk or even myself.

I could have caught AIDS or some other life-threatening disease. I didn't, thank God, and my daughter has been the biggest blessing in my life. I have held her once in my life, and then I signed the adoption papers thattook all my rights to her away forever.

My life has been nothing but a success story since! I have been going to Alcoholics Anonymous three times a week since that glorious day. My GPA was over a 3.0 for my final three semesters and I graduated with a computer science degree from Michigan. I know I have an excellent job in a new city with a bright future to look forward to.

I've done more things in the past 18 months than I did in the previous 18 years! I've had more fun in my life in 18 months than I had before. All of this I've received without alcohol!

I want to thank my parents, my friends, and my fraternity brothers at Alpha Kappa for helping me through my rough times. I wouldn't have made it without you people. '

Those two and a half nights of drinking did me in, but I was fortunate to get another chance. As I look around at my peers, I see many alcoholics. It hurts to see people ruin their lives with that drug.

I see many of my fraternity brothers with the same disease and they don't even know it! I see alcoholics in my chapter and in all the chaptersihavevisited. I've taken a few brothers in my own chapter aside to let them know that they may have a problem, and there's a lot of them I haven't even approached who have obvious drinking problems.

The thing that hurts is that my chapter probably isn't any different than others. Alcoholism is an epidemic throughout the country- I thank God that he made me realize that I have this terrible disease.

I'm doing great in my new "second-chance" life.

Maybe 18 years from now I'll get another phone call from a woman- and I'll be able to tell my daughter the enormous impact she's had on my life.

In this inspiring essay to educate all of his brothers, Martin Pochmara, a 23 year old recovering alcoholic, tells his story of the dangers of alcohol--and how his parents, friends, and fraternity brothers helped him through the rough times.

CHAPTERS Beta Xi Chapter Rechartered Two years after friends met in the basement of a residence hall, the Beta Xi chapter of Central Michigan University rechartered October 2, 1993.

The Chartering Officer, Mark Jacobs of Pi Kappa Phi Properties, was assisted by Area Nine Governor Jeff Luebker. Coordinating the activities for the chartering were Mark Perrin, Assistant Executive Director, and Matthew Hiatt, Senior Leadership Consultant.

Founding Father Eric Coleman reflected on the past, saying, "What a great experience. It is really satisfying to start as a colony and then finally come to the point of chartering and succeed."

Matt Duegner, another founding father, had these words: "It has been a long journey, but the determination of the brothers has kept our chapter thriving. These men are class acts and I am proud to call them friends and now brethren."

In the beginning of 1992, a group of eight men expressed the interest and will to bring Pi Kappa Phi back to CMU. Matt Duegner, an initiated Pi Kapp From Grand Valley State, organized the group. Soon, the group was colonized by leadership Consultant Greg Brown.

Founding Father Matt Koepke said, "It was very rewarding to see all our efforts pay off. It is a great feeling to once again have Beta Xi Chapter on the Campus of Central Michigan University."

After initiation, the brothers all sat down and set short and long term goals. The overwhelming goal the founders

The Gentlemen of Beta Xi Chapter

set was to be able to come back as alumni and see our chapter as the strongest on campus.

Dr. Robert Bromley provided great assistance to the associate chapter before the chartering. Brother Bromley, a Pi Kapp alumnus from Beta Xi, helped the chapter to grow, to meet all the goals for the chartering, and to start reestablishing contact with Beta Xi alumni. To him, we owe much thanks.

Archon Shawn Cross was especially awed by the entire event, saying, "I remember when there were only two of us!"

Beta Xi chapter would also like to thank the initiation team from Alpha Omicron-Iowa State, who helped to make the experience so meaningful.

Zeta- Wofford Doubles Chapter Size!

Before this fall rush, Zeta chapter at Wofford College had determiniation and desire. Now, they have reaped the fruits of their labor by obtaining 29 men in rush, more than doubling the size of their chapter.

Congratulations to the men of Zeta chapter for proving that Pi Kappa Phi is the best!

Alpha Sigma Success

Gamma Phi is Tops Again

ready, the chapter has gone straight into informal rush.

Not only are these guys top in recruitment, they are also at the top in scholarship. Once again, the chapter had the highest average C.P.A. on campus, beating out all of the other fraternities, and beating the all-male average.

Eta Alpha Sweeps Competition Pi Kappa Phi's Eta Alpha Chapter at Concord College took Greek Week by storm this year.

The chapter won the Greek Sing, the tricycle Race, the traditional bed race, the tug of war, the toga contest, and the overall "Best Fraternity" Trophy.

Pi Kapp Richie Spangler was also named "Mr. Greek."

Maryland Chapter Has Ne-w Hotne Eta Epsilon Chapter at the University of Maryland-College Park moved into their new home at #8 Fraternity Row this Fall. The university-owned house, situated among the other successful fraternities and sororities, is quite a coup for the relatively new, but very accomplished chapter. Before the house became available, brothers resided in the parsonage of a local Episcopal Church.

The chapter would not have had the opportunity to acquire this house without the involvement from alumni volunteers from various chapters. Fritz Schroeder (Delta Tau-James Madison), Paul Stynchcomb (Gamma Chi-Jacksonville), and Drew Hudel (Epsilon OmegaTexas Tech) all contributed to the chapter and to negotiations with the university for lease of the house. Schroeder now serves as the chapter advisor, and Stynchcomb serves as the Housing Corporation President.

With the help of these alumni, and coordination of Glenn Dickson from Pi Kappa Phi Properties and support of the National Council, this recently chartered chapter has achieved competitive housing on the Maryland campus. Without a commitment to excellence, Eta Epsilon chapter could not have garnered such alumni

Proving it can be done! The new Eta Epsilon House support.

Before this housing opportunity became available, the chapter distinguished itself with a strong campus image and excellent scholarship. They were able to attract many distinguished alumni to assist in their efforts. They also conducted a back-breaking recruitment drive last spring to demonstrate an ability to operate as a chapter worthy of the housing opportunity.

"Pi Kappa Phi is lucky to have these dedicated young men serving their Fraternity. Not every fraternity can boast of such a qualified staff," said Durward Owen.

AETI Joins FIT In October, 1993, it was announced by the Fraternity Insurance Trust (FIT) that Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity would join as a full participant of the Trust.

Durward Owen, who is also Chairman of FIT, expressed his pleasure in welcoming this newest member to the Trust. Mr. Sidney Dunn, Executive Director of Alpha Epsilon Pi expressed satisfaction in joining the rapidly growing number seeking and finding a permanent answer to the vagaries of the commercial insurance marketplace.

The trust is owned by its participants and offers a full blown General Liability program designed specifically to meet the needs of fratemities and sororities.

A strict risk management program with strong enforcement requirements keeps all participants of FIT in a desirable loss record position which benefits each participant by helping to maintain very desirable rates and at the same time grow the Trust.

Other members of FIT, in addition to Pi Kappa Phi and Alpha Epsilon Pi, are Theta Xi, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha Order, and Delta Chi.

Star & Lamp

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

LAMPLIGHT

They Had No Idea A few weeks ago, I received a letter from brother Bernie Jones, who was theN a tiona! President of Pi Kappa Phi during the time I was in college in the 1950's. Brother Jones helped organize the first Pi Kapp College and many other Pi Kapp events because he had been the Executive Director of our fraternity at an earlier date.

In my column in the Summer 1993 issue of the Star & Lamp, I compared the first Pi Kapp College with what our undergraduate brothers were fortunate to have this past summer. That apparently brought back memories to brother Jones, and he wrote me a letter, saying that he too remembered the cabins, thestatepark,and the experience of that first Pi Kapp College.

Brother Jones and others could look at Pi Kappa Phi in 1959 (when the first Pi Kapp College was held) and see a new idea being developed. Also, they saw Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity of that time having about 50 chapters, with an average membership of 29.

If asked, they probably would say today that "they had no idea" that Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity 35 years later would be "one of the best" in the Greek world, our chapter growth would be outstanding, and our national meetings, such as Pi Kapp College, would be so inspirational and so important to our fraternity.

Who knows what our destiny will be? We do know that we can direct the destiny through our planning efforts and commitment. What our national fraternity must have is a vision of Pi Kappa Phi in the future. That is even more important for our undergraduate chapters-to have a vision of the type of chapter and fraternity experience that we want our future brothers to have.

I have appointed a Pi Kappa Phi Vision Committee with Jerry Brewer, National Vice President, as Chairman. It is my goal that an official Pi Kappa Phi vision statement for the next century will be prepared and presented at the Supreme Chapter meeting in Atlanta in August.

Our vision tells us "what we can be," our efforts tell us "whatwewillbe,"andourcommitmenttellsus"whatwe are." It is through our efforts that we translate what we can be into what "we will be" through scholarship, leadership, and service. (Our vision, through our efforts, will be seen in RUSH, social events, PUSH America Activities, campus involvement, scholarship achievement, and, most importantly, through our brotherhood.)

Commitment means standards, dedication to what we say we are all aboutwalking the talk. We use our vision and our efforts to meet a standard which we want to achieve of being the very best that we can be. That means we will be the very best chapter, but more importantly, it means we will be the very best Pi Kapp brothers.

I believe that we lose some members because that commitment is not deep and meaningful. Our brothers who say that Pi Kappa Phi has been one of the most important experiences in their lives mean that they have deep commitment and they have experienced the essence of brotherhood. I often have said that we get what we give. If we give a lot to our fraternity, we will get a lot, which is a good description of commitment- giving to something greater than our own individual efforts can achieve.

In this edition of the Star & Lamp, you see many illustrations of people with vision- including Mr. Pi Kappa Phi, the Area Governor of the Year, and the Chapter Advisor of the Year. These brothers are excellent examples of men with vision, effort, and commitment.

Not only do they make us proud to be Pi Kapps, but they have had exceptional vision, dedicated effort, and true commitment to being the best Pi Kapps that they can be.

With vision, effort, and commitment, we will find what we can be, what we will be, and what we are! I hope all Pi Kapps have a vision of their future and a vision for your fraternity, and someday, as we fulfill that vision, we might pause and say, "we had no idea" that our fraternity would be the best.
