Foundation Establishes scholarship/Fellowship Fund in Memory of Jordan l. Haines

Jordan Haines was surely one of Phi delta Theta’s most loyal – and some say

most colorful – members. He was truly a giant, in every sense of the word. Brother

Haines was a pioneering banker in the state of Kansas and was the longtime

chairman of the Fourth national Bank and Bank iV. Jordan was a member of the

Phi delta Theta Educational Foundation Board of Trustees from 1998-2000. He

was devoted to his alma mater, the university of Kansas. He served as chair and a

member of its Board of regents and a member of the Executive Committee of the

Ku Endowment Association.

shortly after he died in January of 2006, his friends and members of his family

stepped forward saying they’d like to establish a fund within the Phi delta Theta

Educational Foundation to award scholarships and fellowships in Jordan’s name.

in just a few months they had raised more than $100,000 to establish the fund. The

first grants will be awarded for the 2007-2008 academic year.

Haines graduated from the university of Kansas in 1949. He was both a rabid

Jayhawk fan and a loyal member of Kansas Alpha chapter throughout his life. The

scholarships and fellowships generated by the Jordan l. Haines Fund are meant to

encourage and recognize undergraduate and alumni leaders and scholars from his

Kansas Alpha chapter.

The General Council members met in Washington in November. Here, Council Treasurer Mark Ochsenbein, member Chris Lapple, General Council President Rudy Porchivina, Reporter Scott Mietchen and member Rich Fabritius pose in front of the White House.
