COME TO

CONVENTION!

Never before has learning been so much fun, or so relevant, practical or Inspirational. IMPACT is just that-a two-day course in developing your leadership skills that will carry

over into every phase of your life in and out of the Fraternity. The National Convention which follows will continue on through the weekend, making the entire program a six day experience filled with the sharing of problems and solutions. late night discussions with brothers from across the country, a great social schedule planned by host Beta Epsilon chapter, and much, much more. Now 1s the time for all alumni and undergraduates to begin plan· ning for their attendance at this summer's Convention. It is the greatest Phi Tau experience. For those who have attended a Convention, the ··spirit of brotherhood" mentioned in the Phi Kappa Tau Creed is a very real, tangible and emotional experience. The Convention will be held in long Beach, Mis· siss1ppi on the Gulf Park campus of the Uni· versity of Southern Mississippi, a confer· ence and convention center located directly on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Long one of the South's most popular seashore resort areas, the Mississippi Gulf Coast has the world 's longest man-made beach, stretching 26 miles along the coast. Numerous gracious homes, modern hotels and fine restaurants specializing in delicious seafood dot the coast area. The program, which follows on the next page has something for everyone, from early in the morning until late at night. A special IMPACT presentation of interest to Resident and Gradu· ate Council members alike will feature Or. John W. Lee, an enthusiastic and dynamic time man· agement speaker. Over 400 of the country's top 500 corporations have sent participants to Or. Lee's public workshops. Singing and the Ritual will receive special attention at the 46th National Convention. The Celebration of Brotherhood will feature the initiation ceremony performed by a special alumni team, and a complete review of the Fraternity's Ritual. A shrimp boil, basketball tourna· ment , numerous social activities and optional events, combined with the action and excitement of the Fraternity's supreme legislative body promise to make this Con· vention one to remember. Alumni are encouraged to bring their families, and they will stay at the Ramada Inn one mile west of the Convention site. Other alumni will have the option of staying in private, motel-style rooms in Lloyd Hall on campus or at the Ramada Inn. The campus itself features air conditioned dormito· ries and conference rooms. plus recreational facilities that include a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball gymnasium and fishing pier. The surrounding Gulf coast area features fourteen golf courses , sailing, deep sea fishing, many tourist attractions and, of course. the sun. The Gulf Park campus is located on U.S. 90, approximately two miles west of Gulf· port, ten miles west of Biloxi, and 75 miles east of New Orleans. Ground transportation will be provided from the New Orleans and Gulfport Airports. Registration forms and package price information will be forwarded to all chapters, and will also be included in the Spring issue of The Laurel. The 46th National Conven· tion-it's an experience you'll never forget. Let's see every chapter represented in this the Fraternity's 77th year.

DOMAIN DIRECTOR SPOTLIGHT by Tim W. Collins

Lone Star Domain Director Greg Hollen is the subject of this quarter's Domain Director Spotlight.

Past Undergraduate National Councilor Bar· reN McGrath and Hollen are pictured at the 1981 Diamond Jubilee Convention.

"Start Your Own Fraternity, " was the phrase that caught one young man's eye as he leafed through the college newspaper on an early fall morning in 1973. Intrigued by the idea, he con­tacted the National representative whose name was listed in the advertise­ment, somewhat skeptical that any new fraternity could compete on a campus that already boasted so many formida· ble chapters.

That ad was the beginning of a rela­tionship with Phi Kappa Tau for Greg Hollen which has no end in sight, even though he graduated from the Universi­ty of Maryland in 1976. In the mean· time, he served as a chapter consultant and Director of Field Operations on the

DEPARTMENT

Headquarters staff, attended three na· tional conventions and is presently in his third year as Lone Star Domain Di· rector.

While on staff, Hollen visited almost every Phi Tau chapter, but his efforts currently revolve around the chapters in Texas he is responsible for. Those chapters are: Beta Alpha (Texas), Gam­ma Psi (Southwest Texas) and Delta Omicron (Pan American).

Beta Alpha was rechartered this past year, and Greg's work in recruiting the initial colony members in Austin was in­directly responsible for his relocation to Texas following his stint with the Fra­ternity.

"I fell in love with the people, climate and culture of Texas during my coloni­zation efforts with Beta Alpha, and looked for an employment opportunity to live there permanently," Hollen says.

What Greg received was a call from then-National President Tom Cunning­ham to head the college relations activi­ties for Vought Corporation, a Dallas­based aerospace subsidiary of the LTV Corporation . As Manager of College Relations, Hollen is responsible for Vought's corporate image and college recruiting activities on some 65 cam· puses throughout the country.

One of the most ironic things about his current position is that he still spends a good deal of his time traveling and visiting many of the campuses he did when employed by the Fraternity, although Hiltons. Marriotts and Hyatts are his usual resting places this time around.

"The opportunity to return to many campuses that I visited during my serv­ice in Oxford is something I really enjoy. Through my experience in the person­nel field, I'm also able to offer career counseling and guidance for undergrad· uate Phi Taus." Greg says.

A Government and Politics (Pre-Law) major at the University of Maryland, Greg was very active on campus in and out of the fraternity. He was treasurer of the Student Government Associa· tion , president of his dormitory and state vice president of the College Re­publicans . He served Beta Omicron chapter as president, social chairman and chaplain.

Soon after graduation, Greg joined the Fraternity's professional staff. He remembers those three years as some of the best in his life.

"I have never had a position , before or since, where I enjoyed every day and every experience as much as I did when I lived in Oxford, Ohio. The op­portunity to travel , visit so many differ­ent campuses and meet students, fac­ulty, administrators and alumni has provided me with a network of contacts and friends I will cherish forever," Hollen says fondly.

When asked what advice he would pass on to other domain directors , Hollen says, "Get to know the field staff! Take time out of your daily sched­ule to think about the Fraternity, con­tact alumni concerning their chapters in your domain and promote the career development program. The time you spend on your chapters will reward you many times over in the experiences you have and the friendships you enjoy with some outstanding young men."

Hollen has been deeply involved in the development of the Fraternity's Career Development program along with past National President Tom Cun­ningham.

"The Career Development program takes the concept of fraternity past the informal stage of alumni life," Greg states, "and insures a continuation of the bonds which make us all Phi Taus. The establishment of this program plac­es us at the forefront of the Greek world in terms of innovative program­ming."

Greg is uniquely qualified to under­stand the various constituencies in Phi Kappa Tau, and he is optimistic about the Fraternity's future.

" Phi Kappa Tau is facing a cross­roads as we complete our 76th year. We must become more competitive in housing, more innovative in program­ming, more aggressive in expansion and do a better job of communicating with our alumni. New programs like Ca­reer Development, Phi Kappa Tau Prop­erties, the Long-Range Planning Com­mittee along with an aggressive domain director support staff will go a long way in maintaining our strength and expand­ing our horizons," Hollen concludes.

"Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.''

-P. Pups

APATHY. The word itself is as worn out as a pair of three year old running shoes. It has been so overused and abused that the impact of mentioning it has diminished appreciably. The normal response to the mention of the word ranges from a simple shrug of the shoulders and a deep sigh to a deject· ed reply of " I know it's a problem, but what can we do about it?"

It is important to recognize that apa· thy does not limit itself to fraternity chapters alone. It can infest the private domain of an individual's thought pro· cesses as easily as it can the confines of both small and large businesses. It is a problem that spreads very quickly and becomes even more difficult to resolve as that occurs.

We've begun to wear ourselves out trying to come up with new ideas, in· centives and solutions to combat this malignancy. It's no wonder that when we are continually exposed to apathetic people, our own spirits begin to sag. What eventually takes over is the all too common attitude of "If no one else cares, then why should I?"

Let's take a look at some of the fac· tors which cause apathy. It can mani· fest itself as one feeling or as a combi· nation of several things. A general lack of emotion or motivation is always a

6 The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau

good place to start. Loss of interest coupled with laziness, frustration and boredom can also play vital roles in the establishment of an apathetic attitude.

To think or believe that someone can always be excited and willing to lend a hand for either the chapter or any proj· ect that involves time and work is first of all, impractical. Everyone needs a breather at one time or another. The problem is that once some of us begin to get comfortable in not getting in· volved, that tendency develops into a habit. It becomes far easier to do noth­ing and rely on someone else than it does to get and keep yourself involved .

The tragedy here is that habits are being developed. The tempo you set for yourself and your chapter sticks even after you graduate. You get ac­customed to putting things off or not being able to motivate yourself to keep working on something. It's always easi­er to get geared up for a project initially. The separation of the men from the boys comes in the middle stages of a project, where things seem to get bogged down. Most of us are guilty of enjoying the kickoff and the finale. Un­fortunately, we tend to forget that get­ting to the desired result requires our full attention and devotion throughout the project.

It's not a matter of letting a project down and even those people around us. It's more that we've let ourselves down by failing to pace ourselves after

the "easy work" is done. Coming up with a concept is certainly important, but seeing the project through to com­pletion requires just as much creativity and more hard work. If you think col· lege is rough, then I encourage you to sit down with some of your alumni at the next opportunity to find out what the " real world" holds waiting for you. Sure, life in and of itself is a great deal of fun. But the working world is no pic· nic. It can be as challenging and re· warding as it can be depressing and frustrating. If you don't learn now how to pace yourself. deal with the pres­sure, and handle more than one project at a time, you will find yourself making much greater adjustments in your life after graduation.

When you get burned out on some­thing in the fraternity, what is your nor­mal response? Generally, you pull in your horns and retreat from further in· volvement. If you begin to get burned out in your job after graduation, it is not practical to pull out of reach and avoid every tough situation you encounter. You've got to motivate yourself and hang in there, as job hopping is not healthy for your working credentials and the bills still come due.

In a fraternity chapter, the greatest offenders when it comes to apathy are generally the seniors. They seem to genuinely feel what they so often say, "I 'm a senior, I've put my time in ." What a tragedy! Sure. the diversions of job hunting and trying to prepare for the shock of " life after college" tend to be traumatic. What most seniors don't un­derstand is that their last year as an un­dergraduate member of the fraternity should be their best. because they've had three years to learn what it takes to make the chapter work and grow. Even more important, the younger members of the chapter often look up to the sen· iors-an apathetic example does not bode well for their involvement.

You don't have to be an officer to get involved in this battle against apathy. You do, however, have to be realistic in battling the problem. You must under­stand that apathy cannot be resolved overnight or in a few marathon meet­ings. It takes someone who is willing to take some setbacks but not ever fully retreat and give up. You've got to pace yourself.

Be patient and don't ever get con­sumed with the feeling that there is no light at the end of the tunnel. If you can remember not to stay down when you are discouraged, you'll be way ahead of the game. Sure, you are probably going to have those days when you're ready to pack it all in. That's why it is so im· portant that you share your burdens with others in the chapter. It's best to work within the confines of the group if

at all possible, as there can be safety tn numbers . You will not always feel 1 00%, and that"s why you need to have others around you who share the same destre to work on the problem and move your chapter to heights never dreamed attainable.

Get involved and set goals. both for yourself and the fraternity. Remember to make them challengtng, but not im· practical and impossible to reach If there is a definitive goal or standard that is to be reached, you will find it far easi· er to motivate and involve people than if you are constantly dreammg up things and shooting from the hip .

I also recommend that before you get too bummed out and want to give up on the situatton . turn to an outside source for help Contact the Headquarters or your Domain Director to arrange for a visit. or get someone from the local community who speaks on motivation to attend a chapter meeting. Even though an outsider is not fully aware of all the mechanics of your organization, they are also not mired down in the day-to· day problems and personalities. The key is opening up and being honest. You've also got to listen. You've got nothing to lose by listening to someone else's ideas, whether they be a mem· ber of your own enclave or an intelligent outsider Believe it or not, the National Headquarters have people who can give you some sound advice.

Since you have gotten yourself in· volved in the fraternity experience, you need to try and remember that it is a commitment that begins with your initia­tion and continues after graduation . As a graduate, you can still remain active by giving your time and valuable insight to not only your own chapter, but those chapters in your area. As an undergrad· uate, you've got to be as willing to give to the fraternity as you are to take from it. It can be an experience that lasts a lifetime. Participating is not always con­venient and enjoyable. It is, however, necessary , helpful and can be encour­aging to others, more so than you may ever realize.

As all of us get older, we begin to see with far greater clarity that few things worth having are free or come with little effort. Time and energy are often need· ed to obtam any reasonable and satisfy­ing results. To understand why some­one is apathettc is one thing. To accept it and allow it to continue in your own life is another

"Be grateful every morning when you get up that you have something to do which must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you a hundred virtues which the idle never know."

Charles Kingsley

A PLAN FOR ACTION Here's what you can do to

help get your chapter motivated.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: You've got to know where you want to go before you can get there Retreats for the enttre chapter should be held at least once ev· ery year. The outcome of the retreat weekend should be an objective evalua· tton of the chapter overall. and a list of concrete, reahsttc goals regardtng mem· bership, finances. scholarshtp, communi· ty service, athlet1cs. etc., as determined by all the brothers All too often. apathy can result from a lack of communicat1on and understandtng of the chapter 's strengths and weaknesses

COMMITTEE SYSTEM: Men tend to sup· port that which they help create lnvolv· mg more brothers in the operation of the chapter and spread1ng the decision·mak· tng authonty out to the committees will give more members a stake 1n the affa1rs of the chapter. It will also ensure more thorough plann1ng, break up the workload so the offtcers aren't "one man shows," tnsttlls sattsfaclion tn the brothers who know they had a hand in making a project work and saves time in chapter meetings because "detail work" is done in ad· vance. Your system m1ght tnclude the fol · lowing commtttees: executive, recrwt· ment. finance, membershtp orientation, alumni relations. scholarship, philanthro· py, judicial, social. kitchen, house man· agement, public relations and fund · ratstng.

MAKING COMMITTEES WORK: Estab· ltshing a committee system and making it work are two very different things. To make them effective. the committees must be supervtsed closely. usually by the v1ce pres1dent. First off . a master hst of all committees, their chairmen, mem· bers and meeting dates and times should be posted prominently on the chapter bulletin board The vice prestdent should be expected to attend at least one meet· ing every month of each committee. Sec· ond. written committee reports should be prepared for each chapter meeting. Thts forces each group to have someth1ng spectfic for each meeting. shortens the length of meetings and prov•des a contln· u1ng record of committee action. Finally. each committee should clearly under· stand their responsibilities. be aware of thetr postlion w1th1n the chapter's organt· zational structure and develop their own goals for the semester or year. The re· sponsibililies should be defined in the chapter's by-laws, and a chapter organt· zattonal chart should be devtsed to illus· trate the sequence of authonty.

SET A GOOD EXAMPLE: The members of the executive committee are leaders in

the chapter, and as a result of thetr posi· l ions. they must set a good example for the membership. Nothtng does more to create apathy than an officer who has a bad attitude and lets the chapter know about 11. Executive committee members should always pay thetr btlls promptly. at· tend all meetings, soc1al functions. phil· anthropic and fund-ra1s ing projects: maintain comprehens1ve officer files and notebooks. and, as much as poSSible. exhib1t a positive att1tude w1th chapter members and other students. The lh1ng off1cers need to remember is thiS you are not supermen . and you can't expect to be perfect. Most of the work 1n the chapter should be done through comm1t· tees. so don't make a career out of be1ng soc1al chatrman. or any other pos11ion Do not underestimate, however, the 1mpact that a strong, unified group of officers can have on a chapter

RECOGNITION AND REINFORCEMENT: Give cred1t where credtl is due. Noth1ng does more to promote a positive att1tude and continued hard work among chapter members than recognitiOn for a JOb well done People do or don' t do th1ngs for a var1ety of reasons You will find 11 very hard to get people to do th1ngs for you if you don't thank them pnvately and recog· nize them publicly for good performance. Many chapters also establish "Brother' Officer of the Week Month" awards to recogn1ze and encourage hard work on the part of chapter members.

INTERNAL DISCIPLINE: You've got to know the rules to be able to play the game For any group to run effic1ently, there must be spec1f1c rules set up to guide its' operation. The fraternity chap­ter 1s no exception If there is no chapter policy on meeting attendance 1n wnt1ng. you can't expect anyth1ng close to a full house Concrete policies covering areas such as meeting attendance. finances, house duties and other expectattons should be formalized and included in each chapter's by-laws In order to make it stick. each policy should be empha· sized and consistently enforced.

National Council Reaffirms Position on Chapter Standards

First adopted at the 43rd National Convention in 1 9 7 7, Chapter Standards serve as minimum expectations which all chapters are required to meet in order to remain active chapters in the Fraternity. Re· sponsibility for monitoring ad· herence to these standards is directed to each chapter's Board of Governors, Domain Director and the National Headquarters staff. At the dis· cretion of the National Coun­cil, chapters will be placed on probation or suspension if achievement toward comple· lion of Chapter Standards is not demonstrated.

Chapter Standards include

provisions on Manpower (chapter size) ; Scholarship; Regalia and Ritual: Finances: By-Laws: Board of Governors: Alumni Relations; and Mem· bership Orientation.

At a recent meeting in late January, the National Council reaffirmed its stand on Chap­ter Standards. Recent actions by the National Council re­garding Chapter Standards in· elude placing the charter of AI· pha Zeta chapter at Oregon State University in escrow and putting Delta Mu chapter at the College of Santa Fe on colony status, both as a result of non-compliance with Chap­ter Standards.

Chapters Raise Funds for Charity

Community service projects and fund-raising events con­tinue to be a major part of many chapters' calendars. Whether it's collecting toys for underprivileged children at Christmas time, sponsoring a golf tournament, or visiting el­derly patients at a local nurs· ing home, brothers have found that such service projects are one way of helping those in real need. Some chapters also hold major fund-raising events on an annual basis that desig· nate one particular charity as the recipient of proceeds. Several Phi Tau chapters hold pumpkin sales around Hallow­een, for example . Other events include basketball mar­athons and all-campus social functions co-sponsored by a sorority and local businesses. The possibilities are endless.

So far this year, Phi Tau chapters have raised at least $21 ,000 for charity and do· nated untold man-hours to a

wide variety of service organi· zations. Funds raised include totals from only seven chap­ters . If your chapter raises funds for charity, or has a unique fund-raising idea, re­port it to us here in Oxford, and we'll pass it on. Likewise, if any alumni know of a particu­lar charitable organization in need of 50 hard working young men, contact us at the address in the front of this magazine and we'll contact the nearest chapter.

Recent additions to our II· brary of books by Phi Tau au­thors include: The Query Book and Ten Sales from One Arti· cle Idea, both by Gordon L. Burgett, Illinois '57. We wel­come any books written by or about Phi Taus.

New Ohio Law Bans Hazing

Governor James A. Rhodes of Ohio has signed a bill that outlaws fraternity hazing in the state after March 3 .

The legislation, which an aide to the governor said was supported by most Ohio col­leges and universities, makes it a misdemeanor to participate in , or make others participate in, "any act of initiation into any student or other organiza· tion that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person."

State courts could impose fines of up to $250 and prison

terms of up to 30 days. The new law also provides

that civil suits may be brought by anyone injured during initia· lion rites-including students who participated willingly­against fraternity officers and college officials who knew or should have known that hazing was taking place.

Other states that have passed hazing laws include New York, Florida, North Car­olina, Virginia, New Jersey, Texas, Wisconsin and Cali· fornia.

Legal Drinking Age on the Way Up

Twenty-eight states dropped their minimum drink· ing ages in the early or mid· 1970's and nineteen have now reversed themselves, raising drinking ages, accord· ing to the Christian Science Monitor. In June, New York raised the drinking age to 19; Maryland raised its from 1 8 to 21 and Connecticut from 1 8

to 19. New Jersey raised its minimum drinking age from 1 8 to 19 in January, 1980, and is now considering raising it again to 21 . Only five states permit 1 8-year-olds to drink: Wisconsin, Louisiana, Hawaii, West Virginia and Vermont. -Campus Commentary, Sep­tember 1982

THE CHAPTERS REPORT Another great response to our call for copy from the chapters finds them enjoying another successful fall term.

AKRON-The brothers of Alpha Phi chap· ter have had a good year. Our largest single event. "Bug Stuff," was a tremendous suc· cess. The event proved to be one of the best events sponsored by any of the U.A. Greeks for the entire year.

Of the three major philanthropies on cam· pus. we placed first in two and second in the third. The first place finishes came in the Lambda Chi Alpha Mud Tug and the Delta Gamma Anchor Splash. Second place was taken in the Phi Kappa Psi Best Legs.

House improvements have also been one of our major concerns over the past year. New carpet on the second floor and a new bar on the first floor are two of the largest im­provements. The little sisters and resident council currently have fund-raisers in opera­tion for new draperies.

The past year has been good for Alpha Phi, and the future also appears promising. Our newly elected officers have set high goals for the chapter, and we are well on our way to reaching them.

-Geoff Eicher

AUBURN-Alpha Lambda has begun a new era at Auburn University. We started this fall by recruiting 1 5 new associate mem­bers. The chapter won first place once again in the Homecoming float competition, the third year in a row. We were also pleased to see so many familiar faces returning for the Homecoming festivities.

We hosted chapter consultant Luke Strockis in early November, and he shared many new ideas on how to improve the chapter. Brothers from Alpha Rho and Beta Xi also visited during the semester. Wassa11 Water took place on November 20, and was a smash1ng success. Once again, the asso­ciate members came up short in the Wassail Bowl, los1ng to the brothers 47-0.

Officer elections held in late fall found all but one position filled by a member of last fall's associate class. We would like to thank our outgoing officers for the leadership they displayed this past year.

BETHANY -Greetings from Phi chapter! The brothers started off the semester on the right foot with our annual pre-semester plan­ning seminar held in late August. Immediately after that, the brothers helped the freshmen move into the dorms, giving us the opportu­nity to :neet the freshmen before any of the other fraternities. Rush has been going great ever since.

Early in September. we organized a night out at a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. We sent a letter to the Pirates and "Wel­come Phi Taus and friends of Bethany Col· lege" appeared on the scoreboard during the course of the game. We also had a Mon· day Night Football party before the strike.

Our social schedule has also been quite busy this semester. Our annual Hawaiian Luau will once again include building huts and roasting a pig . We also had another theme party last week, "The Kool Kat Hat Party."

Alumni Weekend in early October saw two Phi brothers inducted Into the college's Ath· letic Hall of Fame. The chapter presented

Richard P. lash '57 and Donald P Dallas '32 with our own Award of Merit. Another event held that weekend was an alumni wme and cheese party.

Fund raising has been a major goal of the chapter this semester. We are currently raf· fling a Honda Passport motorcycle.

BOWLING GREEN-Fall semester at Beta Tau chapter has been very busy, yet ex· tremely successful. Our efforts have been concentrated on areas such as scholastic achievement, community service, member· ship recruitment. intramural athletics and campus involvement.

In the area of community service , the chapter has been assisting our campus po­lice department by locking up university buildings during the week. We also escorted children trick-or-treating during Halloween. Our ninth annual Basketball Marathon will be held January 21·22. An intense fund-raising effort is being undertaken to top last year's total of $1 000 for the Wood County Chil· dren's Resource Center. We are also looking forward to playing an improved alumni bas· ketballteam at the marathon.

Our intramural program has also been suc· cessful this year. We finished second in foot· ball, cross country, golf and third in hockey this year. Our basketball team should do well also.

An all-out chapter effort resulted in a $500 prize in an aluminum can collection contest sponsored by Miller. Inc.

Our Homecoming celebration was very successful th1s year as a large group of alumm and the1r guests were 1n attendance. Many braved the cold weather to watch the Falcons beat Northern lllino1s 20-18 An after-game recept1on and style show were held at the chapter house. Dennis Keller­meyer and J1m Sheely were elected to the Board of Governors at the alumni meeting. The d1nner and dance was held later that even1ng at the Bowling Green Country Club.

EAST CENTRAL-We at Gamma Xi are very excited about the many good things that have occurred in our chapter this semester. We started the term with the president and vice president of student government as members of the chapter. a noteworthy ac­complishment. Second place finishes for our Homecoming queen candidate and float made that event successful. We also had an excellent alumni turnout for Homecoming.

For the past six years we have won the fraternity scholastic award, but in order for us to help our members even more with their academics, we have established a library in our chapter room which will have all the ma­terials needed to help the brothers in their studies. At the same time, we are trying to develop our career development program, which will also be a part of our library.

Because of the great success we had a year ago with our Cerebral Palsy and blood drives, the Ada television station has asked us to once again be a part of those cam­paigns.

To end the semester. we initiated eight new members into the Fraternity, and have elected new officers for this year. Our annu­al Stardust Formal will be held May 7 in Tulsa or Oklahoma City. We hope that all the chap­ters have had a good year. Good luck in the future.

EVANSVILLE-A well-planned fall retreat kicked off the beginning of another great year for the brothers of Delta Beta. An inten­sive two week rush effort resulted in the ad­dition of 20 great new associate members. Already, they've added strength to our brotherhood.

Homecoming brought many of our alumni back to Evansville for the annual alumni-un­dergraduate football game and weekend festivities. We all enjoyed the after-game brunch and wound up the weekend with an excellent happy hour.

The brothers assisted the Welborn clinic this fall in the screening and testing of area children's eyesight, while our associates provided assistance to the Red Cross in their annual campus blood drive. They also pro­vided all the manpower to the Evansville State Hospital and their "Phantom Theater" haunted house fund-raiser for an evening.

We are very proud that alumnus Jeff Kerb has been named Hoosier Domain Director, and that Steve Lilly is a member of the Head­quarters staff as a chapter consultant. Both have been a great help to us, and they will surely be an asset in their work for the Fra­ternity.

Plans are already taking shape for our 15th Anniversary Formal to be held April 30, 1983. We are looking forward to having our alumni back for an excellent weekend. See you then!

FLORIDA-Alpha Eta's second annual Great American Street Dance was held in early January. The event, co-sponsored this year by Alpha Delta Pi sorority and WRUF-

12 The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau

Nu Chapter's (Cal-Berkeley) winning house decoration from "Big Game Weekend. "

FM, was once again a great success. The American Heart Association was the recipi­ent of proceeds from the project.

The Street Dance is Alpha Eta's major phil­anthropic project and the biggest rush party of the year. Held on the first Friday of spring semester rush, the dance attracted more than 5,000 people. A parking lot adjacent to the Phi Tau house served as the location, and the popular local band Steeplechase provided the entertainment. Disc jockeys from WRUF-FM made several live radio broadcasts during the band's breaks. Vari­ous door prizes donated by local merchants ranging from t-shirts to Sony Walkman radios were awarded by Miss University of Florida.

The Dance was publicized throughout the week prior to the event with radio commer· cials and a multitude of posters displayed all over campus and the Gainesville community. Community officials, city council members. and the police chief were very helpful in planning the project. Other local sponsors of the Great American Street Dance were St. John's Beverage, Pepsi Cola and Albert­sons.

The brothers, associate members and little sisters worked together to make this project a tremendous success. Congratulations.

FLORIDA STATE-Legend has it that at Beta Iota chapter, our biggest event ever be­gan with two brothers sitting in the house resident's room. They started with a small party-or possibly a Seafood Festival. Five weeks later, after a dozen or so other broth­ers got through with it, it was "The Main Event," the pre-game pep rally and party be· fore the annual Florida State versus Florida football rivalry. Kappa Kappa Gamma sorori­ty, WGLF 104 (a popular local radio station) and Anheuser-Busch were now co-spon­sors, and instead of just one band scheduled to perform, the event had three, including Eli, a group just now becoming nationally known.

We advertised it as the biggest pre-game activity in Florida State's history, and it prob­ably was. Nine and a half hours of non-stop music and contests-car bash, pie throw, raffle, tug-of-war, Gator jokes. Even head coach Bobby Bowden and his team along with a full squad of cheerleaders and pep

band members showed. Even Florida Gover­nor Bob Graham threatened to make an ap­pearance, but as one security guard put it, " Unless he has a guitar, no one would prob­ably notice."

Finally, although we expected more, pro­ceeds of $2,500 went to Muscular Dystro­phy. The crowd, however, was never disap­pointing, with as many as 5,000 students and alumni in attendance.

Thanks to all the brothers, especially Cra­zy Tony, Ron Pollard, Eric Brewer, Cades­man Pope, the little sisters and Kappa Kappa Gamma sisters who made this event a success.

FRANKLIN & MARSHALL-Xi chapter's fall semester has been very encouraging. We started strongly by moving up to second place among fraternities in scholastic stand­ing. Early in September, we won first place in Greek Weekend activities. Chaired by brother Kip Walk, the event was highlighted by Bill Wolfsthal's and Tom Reardon's victory in the Fraternity Feud, a first place award for the Phi Tau dunking booth, and several victo­ries for brothers in athletic events.

Several capital improvements have been made to the house this fall. The chapter pur­chased a new television to replace the old one which had fina lly shown it's last M • A • S • H rerun. We also purchased new carpet for the sleeping porch and had the liv­ing room carpet professionally cleaned. Most importantly, storm windows were in· stalled on the third floor with the assistance of our alumni.

Once again, Phi Tau had a successful rush program thanks to the hard work of rush chairman Larry Cole and committee mem­bers John Hendrzak, Tom Reardon and Steve Boney. Thirty-three new associate members chose Phi Kappa Tau, the largest class on campus. Several steak dinners, so­rority parties and other functions highlighted the rush period.

Finally, the chapter has continued its effort to become more active in community service projects. Our new associate members sold tickets for a charity basketball tournament and manned a Christmas wrapping booth at a local mall along with members of the Resi-

dent Council. The proceeds went to United Cerebral Palsy

Much time has been donated to the Georgetown community by the brothers to ratse money for Cerebral Palsy. to provide candy for trick-or-treaters and to throw a Chnstmas party for the children at the Readi­ness Center

We also added new meaning to the word philanthropy w1th this fall's Leukemia drive. Without a thought for our own welfare, we bravely placed our bodies in front of speeding cars in numerous road blocks, entertaining passers-by. We succeeded in collecting over $900 from that venture.

In Homecoming competition, the chapter proved equally devastating. Our display won first place with a "Star Tech" theme, and our expertly eng1neered contraption took top honors in the world-renowned Ramblin' Reck parade. Every brother's heart swelled with pnde as we were announced overall Home­coming champions.

HOBART-This past fall. we at Beta Upsi­lon have had several very successful parties.

IDAHO-Greetings brothers of Phi Kappa Tau! The men of Beta Gamma have enjoyed a great fall semester and are look1ng forward to spnng A fine rush and a house retreat to Lake Pend Oreille started the fall off right. In· juries on our football team took a major toll , as we lost our quarterback 1n the ftrst game with a separated shoulder. We turned out tn force to support the Idaho Vandals in football as they tied for ftrst place In the Big Sky Conference

Homecoming saw a large turnout of alumn1 and famtly. Our fall dance, the 49'er Fling was also a big success.

As a community service project. we spon­sored and coached a youth flag football team this fall through the Moscow Parks and Rec­reation Department. The team was known as the Phi Kappa Tau Furies. and the members sported jerseys donated by indivtdual broth· ers in the chapter

Chapter consultant Rtck Hamson vistted us in late October and his help was im­mensely appreciated, especially in redeco­rating some of the associates rooms. We closed the fall with our Laurel Queen Con­test to crown our chapter sweetheart. Good luck to the rest of the chapters in the upcom­ing spring

Along w1th that accomplishment. the chapter was named as a recip1ent of the Adm1nistrat1ve Excellence Award. Both of these honors show the hard work expended by the chap­ter this year.

Homecoming festivities were also suc· cessful this year. Our annual hog roast at· tracted a number of alumni for the weekend.

After borrowing regalia from Upsilon chap­ter for 1 5 years, we have begun to purchase our own set. Funds for this purchase have been prov1ded in part by our alumni. A spe­cial thanks to the brothers of Upsilon chapter for the1r courtesy and patience 1n work1ng with us.

KENTUCKY-The men of Kappa chapter have enjoyed an outstanding fall semester. We presently have 25 excellent associate members. and we hope to add a number more w1th spring rush just around the corner.

Elections were held at the end of Novem­ber, and we are looking forward to a tremen­dous year with a dedicated set of new lead· ers. They are: Scott Turner, president: John Hughes. vice president; Rich Woods, treas­urer; Bill Ulbricht, executive secretary; Mike Powell, membership orientation officer; Rod Neumann , rush chairman; Neel Campbell, social chairman: and Jason Parroco, alumni secretary.

In fall intramurals, we placed second in the tug of war and had impressive showings in football , volleyball and three on three basket­ball. With the addition of our new associates, next semester should be an excellent one for Phi Tau.

Two major fund raising projects have also earned our attention this fall. The Jeff Weigh Memorial Golf Tournament raised over $1 ,000 for the American Cancer Society. The other project, known as the "Ugly Man Contest," raised around $6,000 for the March of Dimes. In this event, city taverns choose a bartender from their establishment and collect money from patrons to electthe1r candidate "Ugly Man." The bar that collects the most money wins a variety of prizes. These two events place us in strong running for the community service award given next spring.

We would like to thank all the alumni who attended our Homecoming festivities and ex­tend an invitation to all Kappa alumni to drop by for a visit.

Finally, we are looking forward to next spring to work together and strengthen our brotherhood.

MIAMI-The brothers of Alpha chapter feel the 82·83 school year may well be our best in recent memory.

The highlight of the semester was our ex­panded Homecoming celebration. We began a new tradition by hosting a pig roast for our returning alumni. The weekend was quite en· joyable for all 92 alumni in attendance.

A strong effort has been made to revive communications with our alumni. Our new newsletter, Tau Tales, has received a very favorable response. The recently reorgan­ized Board of Governors is also more active then ever in guiding the chapter.

On campus, the brothers of Alpha have consistently worked to bUild our reputation within the Greek community, with other stu­dents, and with Miami's administration. Our scholastic standing of fifth among 27 frater­nities last year should improve this year. Our fall Halloween Pumpkin Sale netted $600 for the Oxford United Way. Dinner guests have included Clinton D. Boyd, Jr., and former Mi· ami President Dr. Phillip Shriver. as well as members of the faculty and numerous poten· tial members.

Individually, Phi Taus have excelled in all areas of campus life. John Lowry was a final· ist in the balloting for Miami's Homecoming King, Ed Thomas has been serving as IFC treasurer and Dave Hyde is sports editor for the Miami Student. In addition, seven broth· ers are currently serving as resident assist­ants in university dormitories.

We at Alpha are already anxiously looking forward to seeing everyone at this summer's 46th National Convention. See you then!

In varsity athletics, Mark Bisbing was named football captain, Dirk Oceanak was selected basketball capta1n for the second stra1ght season. and Fred Stoyer and Andy Strober were named wrest11ng captains.

Socially, our annual Halloween costume party was a rousing success, and our open house parties are the most popular on cam· pus. Yet another Homecoming celebration at Eta saw the return of many distinguished alumni at our cocktail party and buffet.

Just around the corner is the Casa de Gua­dalupe orphan party and the chapter's facul­ty reception Earlier. the new women on campus were guests at our freshman tea

Campus Involvement continues to be an important part of each brother's membership in Eta chapter.

SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI-Fall found the men of Beta Epsilon very active in several areas. Alumni receptions were held during Homecoming and before the last home foot­ball game. Both went extremely well , and we felt they did a great deal in helping to im­prove relations with our alumni.

Social functions held this year included ex­changes with Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Delta. A blind date party set up by the associates also went well. Upcoming events include Songfest and a fund raising project for Mus­cular Dystrophy. This event will match the chapter against the men of Sigma Alpha Ep­silon in a football game which will be held at Roberts Stadium.

Probably the most important function end­ing the semester will be the Maxwell Ban­quet. National President John Green and Ex­ecutive Director John Meyerhoff plan to be in attendance to present us with the Maxwell Trophy for the second year in a row.

Big plans are in process for the spring with both the Red Carnation Ball and Lost Week­end approaching. Beta Epsilon wishes a prosperous new year for all the chapters. We'll see you this summer at Convention on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA-After last year's superb end. how could we mainta•n our sp1rit and push for an awesome rush? Somehow. we did it. and the 19 associate members and 40 new little sisters were the result.

With superb southern California weather and equally fine women. football weekends add a new def1n•hon to the word " fun." Our associates seem to be on the ball with the two hottest selling buttons this year. Borrow· 1ng from the areas "Valley Girl" lingo, the two buttons procla1med "USC· Totally" and "UCLA-Barf Me Out!" And, of course, the design was h•·tech, maintaining the chaptro>r's futunshc 1mage

Following that 1mage was our fall "Mirrors and Glass-Wh1te and Black" Formal, as we rented the penthouse level of the Hyatt Hotel on Sunset Strip overlook1ng Hollywood. Bev· erly H1lls and Los Angeles.

The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau 1 7

From the Editor's Desk

Depending on the mail service in your part of the country, this issue of The Laurel should be arriving in your mail box not too long after the Fall 1 982 issue. Problems in securing mailing labels for that edition caused the delay. That situation has been resolved, and we anticipate more timely mailing dates in the future.

Speaking of mailing, a special appeal about our membership records, all 55,000 of them, is worth stating. Since The Laurel is mailed at third class non­profit postal rates, we are not afforded the forwarding privileges associated with first class letters or packages. When a forwarding order is on file, we are sent the new address, but at a cost of .25 per piece. You can well imagine how the cost of maintaining current addresses multiplies when we get as many as 6,000 such changes in one year!

Even more disturbing, there are currently 7,500 brothers who never receive any communication from the Headquarters or their chapter because they are listed as "lost" in our records. Either no forwarding order was left, or the order expired, but the bottom line is that we weren't informed of the address change.

We obviously encourage alumni to inform us of their address changes before the postal service charges us for performing that service. We don't want you to miss a single issue of the magazine, and your chapter wants you to know about Homecoming and Founders' Day celebrations. If you know of any alumnus who doesn't receive The Laurel, drop us a line with their full name, chapter and address. Also, when you join the thousands of Phi Taus who move each year, use the coupon provided in each issue to change your address, and include your old mailing label to help us process the change quickly. . .

Of special note in this issue are the Readership Survey found on page 1 9 , the first feature authored by one of our contributing editors and information regarding this summer's Convention.

The Readership Survey is your opportunity to tell us what you think, whether it be positive or negative. Hoosier Domain Director Jeff Korb is the author of the feature on apathy and a plan for action on how to solve it. Finally, the scenic Mississippi Gulf Coast and Beta Epsiloro chapter will host this summer's National Convention. It promises to be a great one.

1 8 The laurel of Phi Kappa Tau

Boles, Huffer Lead the Way

PHI KAPPA TAU FOUNDATION­BROTHERHOOD AT WORK

Chances are that if you haven't received a letter from Ewing T. Boles or Dan Huffer, you'll be getting one soon. They are the brothers who head the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation, and are charged with the monumental task of turning loyal alumni support into action.

The Foundation is governed by its Trustees, who elect an Executive Committee to administer the funding of programs and services. The annual giving campaign spon­sored by the Foundation provides funds for merit scholarships, low-interest student loans, regional and national leadership workshops, work study grants, educational programs, publications and many other vital programs. Last year, more than $65,000 was spent on these programs, which benefit every chapter in the nation.

A "public" entity, the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation was established in 1945 to encourage loyal alumni support of important Fraternity programs and services. Con­tributions to the Foundation are exempt from federal income-tax as a result of a 1950 ruling of the Internal Revenue Service. By law, the Foundation must remain a separate entity from the Fraternity, but its purpose clause in the Articles of Incorpo­ration clearly defines its educational thrust.

The Officers and Trustees of the Foundation serve on a volunteer basis, and they are very much committed to the Phi Kappa Tau experience. Ewing T. Boles, Chairman of the Board, and Dan L. Huffer, President, are the principle leaders of the Foundation.

Chairman of the Board Ewing T. Boles, Centre '1 6, is a former National President of the Fraternity, and has held almost every other office in Phi Kappa Tau. Mr. Boles served as President and Direc­tor of The Ohio Company, and retired as Chairman of the Board of that securities firm in 1965. Still active as a director of numerous other companies, the Delta chapter alumnus is also a life member of the Board of Trustees of his alma mater. He currently serves as an investment con­sultant with Consulting Services, Columbus, Ohio.

lai!IJ~r:lJ'~~.,..RII President Dan L Huffer, Ohio State '61 , has been President of the Foundation since 1 981 . He was previously Treasurer and a member of the Executive Committee. The Gamma chap­ter alumnus is currently Executive Vice President of Bane­Ohio Corporation in Columbus, and held positions after graduation with Price Waterhouse and Borden's, Inc. He is a member of the Financial Executives Institute, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the American Management Association .

We are grateful to these brothers, and others who contribute to the Foundation's programs on a continuing basis. They include: Larry Fisher. Vice President and Legal C~unsel ; Frede~c E. Mills, Secretary/Treasurer; John L. Barthalomew, Data Processrng and Graphrcs Consultant; and David Lawrence and William D. Jenkins, members of the Development Advisory Committee. Without the leadership and hard work of these brothers, and the loyal support of our other alumni funding of impor-tant Foundation and Fraternity programs would be impossible. '
