STATE OF THE FRATERNITY

Executive Director Starts in March; Associates up 16%; Foundation Continues Support

by F. L. McKinley National President

I am very pleased to report to you that Phi Kappa Tau has made con­siderable progress since the last annual " State of the Fraternity" message in the Laurel. This is due to the great support received from our chapters, alumni , the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation, domain directors, the various national committees, execu­tive office staff and the members of the National Council. The momen­tum is still growing and we can re­alistically expect next year to be even better.

Many of the articles in this issue cover specific areas of this past year's activities and programs for next year ; therefore, I will summar­ize only the major items of interest to all.

John Meyerhoff, an alumnus of Al­pha Upsilon (Colgate University) has accepted the position of Execu­tive Director and is scheduled to assume his new duties in March. We are very pleased to have John join­ing the staff and filling a very impor­tant position in the Phi Tau opera­tions.

"We can expect next year to be even better."

The overall morale, enthusiasm, cooperation and support from our chapters has been the best I have seen in years. The majority of the chapters are either growing or are presently one of the largest on their campus. A sincere effort is being made by many to improve their alumni relations program through regular newsletters or special func­tions, but they need a positive re­sponse from you to make it effec­tive. Additionally, a number of the chapters have requested to become involved in any colonization pro­grams in their area, as well as assisting other chapters with re­cruitment.

Our ability to have a Director of Field Operations plus three chapter consultants this past fall has en­abled the National Fraternity to pro­vide better service to the chapters than has been possible in several years. All but three chapters were visited during the fall semester, with some of our weaker chapters re­ceiving as many as five or six visits. In addition , a considerable amount of programming for our future ex­pansion was accomplished.

Our Domain Director program has been very effective, with a number of the Directors doing an out­standing job in providing assistance to their chapters as well as becom­ing involved in our expansion efforts.

"We'll see an increase in initiates this spring."

While chapter recruitment from 1 July-31 December, 1978 totalled 723-slightly below our projections for that period-it is exactly 100 more associates than in the same period in 1977, a healthy 16% in­crease.

I'd like to commend the following chapters on the success of their re­cruitment programs-and espe­cially for their excellent reporting procedures.

Beta Epsilon (So. Mississippi) ........ . ................. . . 37 Upsilon (Nebraska Wesleyan) .. . ... . ... .. ..... ... . . . . ... . 25 Delta Gamma (Mississippi) . 25 Gamma Eta (E. Carolina State) ............................ 23 Beta Kappa (Oklahoma State) .................. . ....... . . 22 Iota (Coe) .................. 21 Nu (Berkeley) .. . . .. .. ...... 20 Beta Beta (Louisville) ... . .. 19 Delta Beta (Evansville) ..... 19 Delta Omicron (Pan American) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19

The number of initiates (303) for the same period is down somewhat, but due to the larger number of men associated this past fall we will see an increase in the number of new initiates this spring. Since approx­imately 70% of our associate mem­bers are initiated in the spring, there will be a considerable change in the standings, but the following chap­ters were leading in the number of initiates reported as of Decem­ber 31 .

Nu (Berkeley) ............. . 17 Beta Omega (Chico State) .. 16 Beta Xi (Georgia) ... . ..... . 15 Gamma Psi (S. W. Texas State) .... . ...................... . 14 Zeta (Illinois) ... . ........ . . . 12 Kappa (Kentucky) ... . .. .... 12 Alpha Phi (Akron) .. .. ...... 12

We continue to have some weak chapters, however several others have made strides to increase their strength . All of the weaker chapters are being closely monitored and assisted toward becoming stable and viable chapters on their cam­puses.

For the first time since 1974, our expansion program is alive with re­colonizations scheduled to begin this spring on former chapters at the University of Texas (Beta Alpha) and the University of Washington (Alpha Pi) .

We are considering expansion on several new campuses , but our priority will be recolonizing on cam­puses where Phi Kappa Tau pre­viously existed. Among the schools being considered for recolonization within the next 2 to 3 years are the University of Kansas (Beta Theta) , University of Michigan (Tau), Michi­gan State University (Alpha Alpha) , Kent State (Beta Mu), University of New Mexico (Beta Eta) , University of California, Los Angeles (Beta Rho) , Syracuse (Sigma), Old Domi­nion University (Gamma Tau) and others .

...l.. -'· The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau 3

"Our expansion program is alive."

Our decision to recolonize a pre­vious chapter or to colonize at a new school is dependent upon our analysis of the existing Greek Sys­tem on the campus; the attitude of the school on the Fraternity system; approval of the school and its IFC; the possible support that could be provided by one of our existing nearby chapters. Last, but one of the most important items, is the amount of support volunteered by Phi Tau alumni in the area toward assisting the colony in its recruitment, serving as members of a Board of Gover­nors and/or House Corporation should one be required. Prior to our final decision on a colonization pro­gram, we will send a letter to all area alumni informing them of our plans and inquiring as to their interests in becoming involved .

In the Fall Laurel, we asked our undergraduate members their inter­ests in transferring to other schools to help in assisting our weaker chapters, or to aid in the coloniza­tion of a new chapter. The response has been very good and we soon will be announcing the names of those

chosen for transfer to the various schools.

The Phi Kappa Tau Foundation has continued to provide strong support in our scholarship program and in other educational endeavors which has permitted us to expand our efforts in other areas. Without its cooperation the Executive Offices would have had to reduce its pro­gramming in many ways that cer­tainly would have slowed our momentum.

"Alumni response has been excellent."

The response from our alumni this past year has been excellent. Five new Area Alumni Associations have been formed this past fall and volunteers are working to organize new associations in over 20 other cit ies . Hopefully these will be formed and officially recognized by early summer. An article on these efforts wil l appear in the next issue of the Laurel.

Also a considerable number of alumn i have volunteered their serv­ices as members of Boards of Governors and House Corporations as well as in the colon ization or re-

colonization programs in their areas.

We feel an all around good chap­ter must have, in addition to a strong

"Our priority will be recolonizing on campuses where Phi Kappa Tau previously existed."

Resident Council , an active Board of Governors, a chapter advisor, a Graduate Council and an alumni program. Since so many of our moderate to weak chapters are lacking in most, if not all of these, we are actively trying to insure that every chapter has all of the above within this next year. Your support and involvement would be greatly appreciated, part icularly by your chapter or one nearby.

I wish to express my gratitude for the support we have received from both the undergraduates and the alumni this past year. It is the basic reason for the good things that are happening to Ph i Tau ! Your con­tinued support is making Phi Kappa Tau a Fratern ity we all can take great pride in.

Vice President's Report

1978: Springboard to Success

The transit ion to new leadersh ip in 1979, complemented by the es­tab li shed momentum th at was generated in 1978, shou ld bring about a new era of eff iciency and prom inence in Ph i Kappa Tau.

1978 can only be termed a suc­cess when one considers the fol ­lowing factors : our current financial stability; the teamwork and coop­eration which has successfully pro­duced new projects and programs with the Ph i Kappa Tau Foundation ; a newer and larger cont ingency of domain directors who have pro­duced more visits to chapters than any other group of domain directors in the past ten years ; three chapter consu ltants and a director of f ield operat ions who have brought about a new level of respect in the effec­t iveness of our ent ire chapter con­sult ing program ; the emergence of hundreds of alumn i who desire to serve in voluntary leadersh ip ca­pac ities with the Fratern ity and the completion of an Execut ive Director search result ing in the select ion of John Meyerhoff, Colga te, '64, after considering the f ine qua li f icat ions of over 60 appli cants.

Thus, the 1978 momentum will serve as a spr ingboard for our suc­cess in 1979. However, it will take ou r combined effort to make th is cruc ial trans it ion period a smooth and effective cont inuat ion of the past year's momentum. Because we know that any change produces tur­bu lence, either positi ve or negat ive, now is the time for all chapters, alumn i and especiall y members of the Fratern ity leadersh ip to provide solid support to new programs and leadersh ip styles.

Some frustrat ions will be gener­ated by new management settling in as old and new programs demand attent ion . We must not, however, lose sight of the fact that ou r com ­peti tion is capitalizing on the in­creas ing ly favorab le env ironment that exists for f ratern ities on college campuses today.

Our attent ion to Phi Kappa Tau 's transit ion cannot overshadow our respons ibi lity for recogniz ing the transition happening to colleges

by Thomas C. Cunningham National Vice President

and un i ve r s i t y operat i ons throughout the country. The in­creasing cost of operat ing private colleg iate institut ions, where 50% of our chapters are located, calls for us to emphasize to our alumni that fratern ity membersh ip traditionally carries with it an allegiance and comm itment for support to their alma mater. The declin ing birth rate which should impact colleges in the earl y 1980s will call for increased fratern ity alumn i support to private institutions. At the same time, our chapters at state supported inst itu­t ions must be prepared to operate within the complexities of an institu­tion whose board of regents, state legislature and university manage­ment will be pressed into look ing for new ways of streamlin ing opera­tions, dealing with increased costs and decreased student populat ion to attract to their campuses.

We have the potential of being flex ible and adapt ive to the new en­vironment and pressures our alma maters will encounter. However, to the degree we are poorly man­aged-buried so deep in traditions which do not lend themselves to successful operat ion in the new campus atmosphere, or caught up in the pett iness of our own internal operat ions to the detriment of our abil ity to increase our momentum­Ph i Kappa Tau and all other frater­nit ies can be severely damaged, or at worst , pass into ext inction .

The future decl ine in college enrollmen t need not negatively im­pact our membership or operations. An adequate number of students will continue to meet the member­sh ip needs of all fraternities if Phi Kappa Tau and others can expand recru it ing and programming efforts to attract and provide a posit ive ex­perience for new brothers.

I believe we are correctly plan ­ning today for tomorrow's oppor­tun ity. We know our fraternity expe­rience complements the maturing process which takes place between a college student 's freshman and

sen ior years. We know the proba­bili ty of graduation from college and future success in one's career is heightened by membersh ip in Ph i Kappa Tau. In order to capitalize on our strength and provide better opportun it ies for members in the future , we have formed a Career Planning Committee which will begin its efforts early in 1979 and will have an interim report ready for the convention in Knoxville, Ten­nessee, this summer.

This committee will focus its efforts on creating programs which take into consideration the con­cerns and frustrations of selecting one's carrer or course of study as an undergraduate ; planning first steps of action after graduation ; and providing continuing support to the careers of our graduate brothers.

Our transition in 1979 must have two major fronts. The first and most important will be to f ine tune our operat ion . Through several frater­nity comm ittees and the continued f ine efforts of our chapters, Founda­tion, National Council, Domain Di­rectors and Executive Office Staff, we must provide a strong support base for our New Executive Director John Meyerhoff to manage his day­to-day Fraternity operations.

Our second front must be to clean up our act and provide proper pro­gram planning to make Phi Kappa Tau successful in the demanding environment in which we will oper­ate in the '80s. We must el iminate our bad habits wh ich will jeopardize our probability for success in the future. Physical hazing or mental harrassment of new members must become a thing of the past. Disturb­ingly, as fraternities have realized new successes in the current cam ­pus environment, a tendency to re­v i ve old haz i ng pract ices has emerged. The legal liabilit ies, the intolerance of press, parents, and un ivers ity adm inistration demand that our fraternity management be intolerant of hazing act ivities in our chapters.

Cuyahoga County to less than 56,000 votes. Other statewide Dem­ocrats won the county with margins of over 100,000 votes . The Rhodes­Voinov ich ticket won statewide by 48,000 votes.

As Lt. Governor, Voinovich will no longer have the h istoric job of presiding over the Ohio Senate, but will be a member of the Governor's Cabinet, chairing its meetings in the absence of the Governor. He will also be cha irman of the newly cre­ated State and Local Government Commiss ion of Oh io. This 13-mem­ber body is charged with the re­sponsibility of identifying problems that Local Government is having with the Oh io Legis lature, State and Federal Agenc ies and Congress.

Theta, Omicron Delta Kappa and served as pres ident of student government.

Upon complet ion of his under­graduate work , George attended Oh io State Un ivers ity College of Law, where he rece ived his Juris Doctorate in 1961 . He was named as Ass istant Attorney General for the State of Oh io by then Governor Wil li am Saxbe.

In 1966 he made his first bid for publ ic off ice defeat ing a three-term incumbent and was elected to the Oh io House of Representat ives. He was re-elected in 1968 and 1970 by over 2 to 1 margins.

Wh ile in the Oh io House, George sponsored over 85 bi lls that have become law. He served on the powerful House Finance and Ap­propr iations Comm ittee for three terms ; the State Government Com­mittee for two terms and was Vice­Cha irman of the Environmental and Natural Resources Comm ittee for one year. He was also founder and Vice Cha irman of the Nine-State Midwest Counc il on the Environ­ment and the Four-State Legislat ive Comm ittee on Lake Erie.

In 1971 he was appo i nted Cuyahoga County Auditor, a post he held for five years. Wh ile Aud itor he was Cha irman of the Leg is lat ive Task Force of the County Aud itors Assoc iat ion and Cha irman of the group's Leg islat ive Comm ittee.

Alpha Eta Alumni Program

"Every Which Way But Loose"

by Patrick McGrath Ill

"There is no greater tribute, nor any more necessary, than to honor and remember our forefathers ; creators of the path on which we tread."

Very simple. Very direct. In a nutshell it capsulizes the philoso­phy of a successful alumni program.

Alpha Eta chapter at the Univer­sity of Florida has captured this phi­losophy in its outstanding alumni communications program and was duly awarded the 1978 Massock Award.

Judge Clyde C. Atkins (I.) receives the Outstanding Alumnus Award from John Cosgrove. Emcee Dutch Shulen­berger lends a hand at the May, ' 78 Founders ' Day Celebration.

1 2 The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau ~

"When a Phi Tau graduates he's still a brother. You can't just cut him loose," said Alpha Eta Alumni Direc­tor Pat McGrath emphatically. " For nearly all of us, the Fraternity is our strongest link with the university. We owe it to the alumni to perpetu­ate that bond."

Calling himself a caretaker ("credit for our success goes to the men who got it started") , McGrath watches over a program which had its beginn ings just before 1970 and has grown to one of the strongest among the 29 fraternity chapters at Florida.

The principal leadershi p at the turn of the decade was provided by C. Guthrie Babcock, '32, and John F. Cosgrove, '67. Together they formed Alpha Eta 's " Century Club" for alumni who donate $100 annually to a special chapter house fund.

" We stress that the money go strictly toward capital improve­ments on the house," emphasized Cosgrove, who is currently serving his third term as Alpha Eta Alumn i Association President. " No dollars go into the chapter operating fund at all ," he added.

But the emphasis isn 't entirely on money. In attempts to coordinate activities local alumni groups have been successfully formed in Miami , Jacksonville, Gainesville and Talla­hassee. Alumn i Jerry Curington, '69 and Jesse Crews, '71 have acted as development vice presidents during the past two years. They have engi­neered football get-togethers, occa­sional dinners and social functions. The Alumni Association has agreed that soc ial events are the best bet to bring Phi Tau alumni together.

" You can 't hold a lot of meetings and expect outstanding turnouts every time," according to Curington. " You have to real istically account for professional and family commit­ments."

The Resident Counc il follows the same philosophy stressing certain main events, with special emphasis to the annual Founders ' Day cele­bration in May. The chapter at­tempts to bu ild interest for the

yearly extravaganza by featuring an entertaining emcee and a prominent speaker. Last year it was an Alpha Eta duo, Dutch Shulenberger, '35, a well known toastmaster, and keynote speaker Justice Clyde Atk ins, '35, a U.S. Ch ief Justice for the Southern District of Florida. In 1977, Miami Dolphin quarterback Earl Morrall spoke. In all cases the alumni and Resident Council coop­erate for a successful evening.

Physically, house improvements through the '70s have been over­whelming. Alpha Eta alumni con­vinced a Gainesville savings and loan company, despite its strong doubts about fraternities , that the chapter could handle an extra $126,000 in loans for exterior and interior renovation during the '70s. As a result , the upstairs halls were fully carpeted, drop ceilings hung, walls paneled, faulty piping cor­rected and central heat and air-con­ditioning installed. Outside, the structure was completely re­shingled and the veranda replaced. In January, 1978 the boiler failed and the chapter was faced with cold showers and a closed kitchen . In a matter of weeks alumn i poured $2,000 into the chapter to help offset the cost of a $3,800 energy­effic ient water heater.

In between crises, Century Club ass istance has yielded $3,500 worth of living room furniture , formica kitchen countertops, upstairs car­peting, a new foyer chandelier and numerous other im provements wh ich have added style to a beauti­ful chapter house.

Alpha Eta members say the greatest thanks go to John Cos­grove. " John has been a tre­mendous influence," sa id Chapter Pres ident Barry Gafner. " He's here several times a quarter and is con­stantly commun icat ing with our alumn i."

Tight commun icat ion is the key for Alpha Eta. " To a guy who's been gone for a long time," said Gafner, " our newsletters and personal con­tact mean just as much as all the hoopla of a big event."

The Keynote Speech was delivered by Mr. Jack Anson , former Ph i Kappa Tau Executive Director, and current Execut ive Director of the Nat ional Interfratern ity Con­ference, Inc. Comments concerning the newly formed Alumni Associa­tion and its relationship to the three Indiana Chapters (Lambda at Pur­due University, Beta Lambda of Indi­ana University, and Delta Beta at the University of Evansville) were given by Gary Ryan , recently appointed Hoosier Domain Director.

The Central Indiana Area Alumni Association is anticipated to pursue programs in three major areas. Social activities will be available to the Alumni Association in the form of dinner meetings, occasional par­ties, and group discounts to enter­tainment. Fraternity support not only in the Hoosier Domain, but also of the National Fraternity, will be a key activity in an effort to promote the goals of Phi Kappa Tau. Finally, projects of a philanthropic nature are expected to be a major issue with the Alumni Association .

The next gathering, a d inner meeting on March 9, 1979 at the Speedway Motel , will be highlighted by the election of the first officers of the Alumni Assoc iation.

Members of the Central Indiana Alumni Association gathered December 6, 1978 for their chartering ceremony at the Stouffer's Indianapolis Inn.

Greek System At Bat

by Mark Gregg Chapter Consultant

I predict that the Fall of 1978 will long be remembered as the time when the Greek system on Ameri­can colleges and university cam­puses hit more home runs in a single game than Reggie Jackson. It was a season in which we won the pennant. And that's something.

After several years of strike-outs and near misses, fraternit ies and sororit ies are rebounding as never before. Two years ago, many nation­al organ izations were threatened with severe budget cuts, declin ing membership, and the very real threat that fraternities were becom­ing relics of a whimsical and unrealistic past. "Why belong to a social organization? " seemed to be the general cry. Students were re­belling against all traditional values. And in seemingly all cases, frater­nities looked doomed to a position of fond remembrance in the back of cob-webbed minds.

But no more! This school year has seen membership up 20 to 25 per­cent on all levels. Universities are inviting recolonization efforts and new chapters to meet the demand. On one campus 125 men were re­fused permission to join fraternities simply because all chapters had filled quota. We are glad to say Phi Kappa Tau will be the first national fraternity to take advantage of this situation.

While some campuses are still ex­periencing a degree of stagnation in their systems and attempting to close down systems (most notably at Dartmouth), most schools are changing their views on a system which, in their minds, bred problems and disturbances. Campuses once filled with turmoil are now filled with serious students attempting to get the most out of their education pro-

...t.. 14 The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau • ·

cess, and these same students are utilizing the Greek System as a springboard toward their careers.

Why the turn around? Part of the reason can be attributed to the movement of the baby boom through our educational system. As more students enter schools, hous­ing becomes a premium item, and fraternities offer a viable solution to those who want the most for their money.

Another reason could be simply the popularization of fraternity life through such films as Animal House and the soon-to - hit telev is ion screen series like Brothers and Sisters, Delta House. and Co-ed Fever. Each major network has alloted time to get in on the ground floor of the pew popu larity in frater­nal organizat ions.

Additionally, many students are realizing that to better prepare oneself for future employment. the Greek experience is invaluable in providing learning opportunities above and beyond academia. The ability to get along with others is often a lesson schooling misses and fraternities produce.

How can you help out in the new growth of fraternities? By develop­ing area alumni clubs and organiza­tions. Re-establishing old ties with brothers of days past, encouraging the establishment of new chapters of Phi Kappa Tau through participa­tion, and offering your services to your chapter or one near you.

Remember, next year is a new season, and with continued support and development of playing strength , the Greek system can continue to grow and spread. We are planning on a winning year! How about you?

1978H NORR LL Throughout 1978, Phi

Kappa Tau alumni demon­strated their support for the important and on-going work of the Fraternity by con­tributing to the Foundation Development Fund.

Dear Brothers, I am taking this opportunity to ask each of you to give

careful consideration to attending the August, 1979 National Convention in Knoxville, Tennessee as your chapter's dele­gate.

You didn't know your chapter still has voting privileges? Of course you do!

Each chapter, active or inactive, is entitled to a graduate del-_ egate. Many of you could provide valuable insight into our Na­tional Fraternity operations.

We currently have many members from our inactive chap­ters serving on National Council, committees and participating in other fraternity activities. We could use the assistance of many more!

Additionally, many of our inactive chapters are now being re-organized. Your help could bring that process one step closer to reality.

Take the time now to send me your comments and your in­terest in serving as your chapter's delegate August 21 -25 in Knoxville.

I can assure you the fellowship of the convention will be well worth your time.

Fraternally,

TL. W~J:~~tj F. L. McKinley

National President ,_ • The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau 17 ......

So, That's Jo!

Have a nice day!

Jo receiving a plaque and standing ovation for her service to the Frater­nity. Then National President Ted Marye looks on.

Jo Wisecup is known better to any of you who have corresponded with the Executive Offices as Ellen L. Wisecup. But no matter what you call her, she is Phi Tau 's Executive

...!... 18 The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau .f:

Assistant. Her duties have spanned address changes to financial mat­ters to office administration over the 15 years she's been with the Frater­nity. She's responsible for numer­ous other funct ions including ad­ministering the mail ; acknowledg ing all incoming correspondence and passing it along to the proper staff or National Counc il member ; assigning all initiation numbers ; handling many of the day's in­coming calls ; coordinating plann ing and details of our National Conven­tion and Council meetings; adminis­tering all chapter requests ; payroll ; recording all Development Fund donations-the list goes on and on . That's why you ' ll find Join the office on Saturday or Sunday many times. Not to mention all the Council meet­ings and conventions she has at­tended along with her trusty tape re­corder and shorthand sk ills.

Her long-standing dedication to the Fraternity is no secret. But, al­though it seems like all her time is devoted to Phi Tau , she manages to run a household for husband Hugh and grandchildren Jerry and Pam Owen . All camping enthusiasts, come Spring you 'll find them at Lake White and other places around the state in their Holiday Rambler. They've visited Disney World, South Bend and Colorado on recent annu­al Rambler rallies.

Active in the Oxford community, Jo is involved in Eastern Star and Business and Professional Women among others.

Are you still wondering how " Ellen" got changed to " Jo" ? It seems she once worked in a groc­ery store back in her hometown of Circleville, Ohio. She replaced a young man named Joe. When she told the store owner her name was Ellen Louise he said, " I can't re­member that! I' ll just call you Joe." She dropped the " e" and it stuck!

V. P. Report

Continued from page 5.

Any instances of poor financial management must be corrected. Under the leadership of former Na­tional President Tom Stennis we began the attack on our financial problem. Because of the continued fine efforts of former Financial Advisor and current National Presi­dent F. L. McKinley, Tom Traver, our former financial consultant, current Financial Committee Chairman Tom Hendricks and the superb support of the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation, we can now state that Phi Kappa Tau is a financially stable operation. We have many problems but they are all being well managed. We are now on a campaign to identify those undergraduate operations or alumni house corporations where more at­tention to financial management is requ ired . We will provide those operations with the type of support system which promotes financial stability. This doesn 't mean the Na­t ional Fraternity is in a position to pass out thousands of dollars to bring about financial stability. But we are equipped with the consulting expert ise to aid undergraduate chapters and alumni groups in achiev in g their own financ ial stability.

We must be able to point to the Phi Kappa Tau experience in the 1980s as making a un ique and posi­tive contribution to a college stu­dent's undergraduate experiences. Although prov id in g a base for enjoyable soc ial experiences is an important part of our overall pro­gramming, we will pass into obl ivion if we allow that soc ial experience to be the primary thrust of our opera­tion .

Our principal successes as a fra­tern ity institution have been our em­phasis on academics coupled with our ability to provide a positive self­development " laboratory" for the maturing process during college. Therefore our second transitional step will be a sound plan for con­tinuing those principal successes in the 1980s.

President McKinley and I call on all chapters and alumni to lend their support and loyalty to Phi Kappa Tau as we move through this impor­tant transition and assure our suc­cess for Phi Kappa Tau in the 1980s by making 1979 the springboard for our future .

Fraternity: Individual Commitment

by Kenneth J. Boyle Chapter Consultant

Everyone of us has a particular remembrance that will remain vivid for a lifet ime. Maybe an incredible romance with a special lady. Or an episode with an amigo or two which brings tears of laughter to our eyes just thinking about it. Perhaps a mistake or two-yet all are events very important to us. It is not merely the event which endears itself to us, but the individual with whom it was shared that brings back its unique emotional response. It is my belief that the Fratern ity is one such par­ticular remembrance.

• •

I say this not to be trite or to com­pare brotherhood with unforgettable romantic interludes . Instead I strongly believe that too many of us give a back seat to the most funda­mental priority of fraternity : the indi­vidual commitment each man makes to his brother.

Quite often a chapter will set goals such as membership size, all­sports trophies, grade point con­tests or IFC participation . These are all fine , but can be shallow endeavors without the heart support of the membersh ip.

All of us can recall times when a member of our chapter willingly supported us . A borrowed ten bucks, a car, or maybe encourage­ment when it seemed that the entire world decided to go a few rounds with us. The gratitude you felt was not always expressed in words, but somehow we all know of t imes when someone appreciated us and under­stood our thanks for their assist­ance.

In kick ing about the various chap­ters I have seen great sim ilarities and differences. Smoothly operating groups that glide magnificently are balanced by others that are such administrative disasters that it 's puzzl ing why they cont inue. There are, of course, as many criteria for judg ing a chapter's overall perform­ance as there are for evaluating an individual 's qualities. I feel sure of the prosper i ty and mean i ngful future at the chapters where I have seen a truly compassionate sp irit of brotherhood. I speak of personal commitments between brothers . Somehow the transit ion from per­sonal comm itment to fraternity com ­mitment is not easily made by many people. Perhaps it is viewed by

. And More

some as having an amorphous and quizzical identity. It is my belief that the Fraternity is a series of personal commitments which comprise a larger funct ioning group commit­ment.

Men in chapters often confront me with the problem of motivating members. A man in the fraternity in dire need of emergency assistance would have the sound and total sup­port of his brothers . Motivation wouldn't be a problem. If each man, in turn , thinks of his chapter as an extension of those same personal commitments, he will more often find time to be involved.

I realize I am not saying anything profound or new, but too often the inner spirit and compass ion of brotherhood, whether it be individu­al or group-oriented, is not suffi­ciently emphasized.

I find this particularly true during recruitment. Chapter members will respond to my question of why they joined with a series of tangibles. " Well the food stinks at ... Every sorority told me of Phi Tau 's ability to . .. The house is by far the nicest . . . " are a few common com­ments. It seems to me at times peo­ple are hesitant to admit that " I have 30 brothers and they're my family. Together there isn't much we can 't do if we want. "

This " family" attitude, I believe, should be the central theme to our fraternity experience. Whether it be the orientation of new members, the reorientation of older members or the enlightenment of an outsider, this should be our starting point. Begin with your personal commit ­ments, build to your chapter respon­sibilities and carry this philosophy through to every area of Phi Kappa Tau .

Fraternities Starting To Rebuild

This article appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer on Sunday, February 11, 1979.

BY LARRY NEUMEISTER Enquirer Contributor

Charred books and other objects still remained scattered in front of Sigma Nu fraternity house a week after it was gutted by fire on Decem­ber 1.

The 66 Sigma Nu fratern i ty brothers at Miami University Oxford Campus, are determined not to let their fraternity fall . They fight a bat­tle similar to one faced by the entire Greek system. And both seem to be winning.

The Greek reputation darkened in the late '60s and early '70s when, consistant with the young ant i-es­tablishment feel ings of those years, the system on all campuses was unpopular and in decline.

A clear difference exists between the Sigma Nu house f ire and the fa ll of Greeks in the last decade, how­ever. The Sigma Nu 's lost their house, but saved their housemates. The Greeks of the '60s lost their members, but saved their houses.

Now, the Greek houses have begun to f ill aga in. Most fratern it ies at the Un ivers ity of Cinc innati (UC) and Miam i Un ivers ity report an in­crease in membersh ip.

Jay Frank, secretary of UC's Inter-Fratern ity Council, attributes the popularity growth to better com­mun icat ion between Greeks and un ivers it ies.

" THERE IS no doubt an inst itut ion th is size is mach ine-producing stu­dents," Frank sa id. " In the '60s it was 'here are the campuses and here are the fratern it ies.' Now, they (Greeks) are more involved with the campuses."

Haz ing (i n it iat ing students by forc ing them to do ridicu lous, pain-

ful or humiliating things) during " Hell Week" is also a thing of the past, Frank said, adding that a ban on hazing by national fraternities changed Greeks.

" If our national chapter found out we made pledges swallow goldfish or whatever they used to do, they'd come down on us pretty hard," he said.

Instead .of haz ing, fratern it ies often make their pledges work on pledge projects.

Miam i Un ivers ity's Ph i Kappa Tau pledges last year bu il t a driveway and a new bar for the pledge project. Ph i Kappa Taus bel ieve " someth ing constructi ve" should be done by the pledges during " Hell Week," sa id a member.

Fratern ity members at UC and Miam i also sa id that hazing has essent ially been wiped out in most fratern it ies.

The act was outlawed by most fra ­tern it ies and sororities and by some states and un ivers it ies in the early '70s. The hazing that st ill· exists is lim ited to two or three fratern ites at each un ive rs it y, Lee Dewa ld, a Miam i Un ivers ity Ph i Kappa Tau sa id. He added that in sororities, hazing is nonexistent.

ERIC ABERCRUMBIE, UC director of student act ivit ies and program­ming, keeps a close watch on UC fratern ities fo r any complaints about hazing.

" We have a random sample of people that depledge," Abercrumbie sa id, adm itt ing it is diff icu lt to f ind out what happens during the frater­nity 's initiat ion weeks.

Duri ng init iat ions such as " Spirit

Week," or the traditional "Hell Week" most fraternity and sorority members keep doors locked, win­dow shades closed and allow no women in fraternity houses in many cases. The cloak of secrecy which encompasses most initiations is further insured when pledges take an oath to keep the ceremony secret. Thus, according to Abercrumbie, the best way to find out if hazing exists is to interview pledges who depledge the frater­nity. The reports have been positive.

" Hazing has for all intentional pur­poses been wiped out," Abercrum­bie said.

TWO YEARS ago, however, a stu­dent's parents told Abercrumbie their son broke his arm during a hazing activ ity. Abercrumbie would not disclose the name of the frater­nity involved.

Most reports of hazing are about black fraternit ies, Abercrumbie said.

" Primarily, that's where it comes from ," Abercrumbie said . " There has been identified with black Greeks, more problems with haz­ing."

The blacks do more publ ic pledge initiations in which they do syn­chron ized march ing and other activ­ities, he added.

Some act ivities of fraternities , however, may st ill be questionable.

On January 11 , Bruce Wiseman, 18, a Louisiana State University stu ­dent pledg ing the Theta Xi frater­nity, was struck by an auto and ki lled during a fratern ity ritual , As­soci ated Press reported.

Six other pledges were injured as the walked across a highway hold-

ing onto the shoulders of those in front for support. They were being marched to a ritual site when the pledges were struck.

The death· was the second death attributed to fraternity initiations in the past two years.

Jim Colley, a Miami University Beta Theta Pi , described his frater­nity's "Hell Week."

" I wouldn 't call this one of the 'An­imal House' houses," Colley said. "It (Hell Week) is very very difficult. It's a culmination of the whole pledging experience. It 's very demanding, but it ' s something nobody regrets . There is a lot of mental stress. I don 't think I could have done a much harder one. A lot of guys think about quitting." Colley said his fra­ternity is typical of others at Miami.

The number of students visiting fraternities at Miami during the fall more than doubled last year.

Miami, called the " Mother of Fra­ternities" by many, because four na­tional fraternity chapters, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi and Phi Kappa Tau, got their start in Oxford , also boasts that almost 25% of its student body is pledged to fra­ternities.

While fraternities have cleaned up their act much in the last 10 years, occasional reminders of a past era return .

The Post. OU's student paper, dis­covered its typewriter keys were stolen following its story about fra­ternity escapades.

And in front of the f ire -scarred Sigma Nu house at Miami was a chalk scr ibbled message telling the Sigma Nu 's they were officially " burnt out."
