Mid-Year
E veryone has heard the phrase ''March
Madness. II This refers to the month in
early spring when it seems there is a
college basketball game going on at all
holliS of the day and night. One game follows the
other. The best teams continue beating other teams
and advancing until they reach their
goal -- the championship. It seems the
more opportunities to play give each
team a chance to excel and win.
Not unlike //March Madness// is
something that Pi Kapps have dubbed 11Mid-Year Madness. ~~ This refers to our
schedule of four Mid-Year Leadership
Conferences that occur on four
different weekends in four regional
locations across the nation, allowing
more of our student leaders to reap the benefits of
the national organization. This year, conferences are
being held in Charlotte, N.C., St. Louis, Mo.,
Philadelphia, Pa. and San Jose, Calif
We don't stop there, either. Through
Pi Kapp College, we offer a four-day leadership
school which takes place in August. Pi Kappa Phi is
the only national fraternity to provide such extensive leadership programming twice a year. Other
fraternity executives marvel at our ability to do this.
Why such an extensive focus? It's simple.
Pi Kappa Phi believes that in order to better prepare
our student members to face the complex issues
surrounding students and collegiate life, we need to
provide more opportunities for all our members to
receive the leadership training they need to become
better students, brothers, leaders and men. When
utilized properly, we have seen how the tools that
Pi Kappa Phi provides are instrumental to our
members' personal development and success.
I hope you enjoyed the last issue of the
Star & Lamp, which examined our Pi Kapp football
history. In a follow up in this issue, we go back in
time to the most lopsided game in football history
and the man that ties Pi Kappa Phi to that
historical match.
In our main feature, we look at the sport
that brings us //March Madness// and the Pi Kapps
that shined on the hardwood court. From college
to the NBA, Pi Kapps have always been a part of this
exciting sport.
Finally, on behalf of the Star & Lamp staff
and all the staff at the National Headquarters, we
wish you all the best for the New Year.
Fraternally,

I n continuing our review
of stellar Pi Kapp
athletes, we focus this
time on the fraternity's
leading basketball stars over
the years. To honor those
brothers who achieved
success on the court, the Star

look at the fraternity's top
roundballers.
Among the earliest

native played guard and was
essential to the success of
the 1920 NC State team,
particularly in leading the
Wolfpack to a 32-21 upset
victory over North Carolina.
The NC State team lost the

The effort was lead by UNCW Alumni Association board
member and Pi Kapp John Baldwin.
"The success of the campaign is a real tribute to
the dedication of Pi Kappa Phi alumni," said Baldwin.
'Their tremendous support demonstrates that the
fraternity experience extends beyond college. It has been
an honor to work on the campaign in the name of
Pi Kappa Phi."

I n the 16 months since the project was introduced, 41 chapters have voted to become Journey Chapters-- 15 of which have taken the steps to become fully implemented

•
the men of Omega decided to become a Journey Chapter, voting unanimously to embark on a new path of membership in Pi Kappa Phi,
and seeking to solidify the Fraternity's position at the top of one of the most competitive Greek campuses in the country.
On September 7, three members of the National Headquarters staff, along with Area Governor JeffLuebker (Bradley-Epsilon Mu), facilitated the chapter's Journey Implementation Retreat. The brotherhood established a long-term mission statement and set goals by which to
10 THE STAR & LAMP
integrate The Journey into Omega chapter. "More than anything else, The Journey
allows us to tell others what we have in common. It allows us to articulate our vision ... and be set apart from the other 45 fraternities on our campus," says Pat Kuhnle, Omega's Chapter Advisor.
Since implementing the program, Omega has used The Journey to better educate its associate members. Using The Journey as an important part of the chapter's fall recruitment, they were able to preinitiate 24 men and retain 23 . Archon Jim Taller credits the structure of the program and the chapter's Academic Coach with the associate's success.
For the first time, the associate class established its own standards board and code of conduct, using them to stress accountability to each other, and the chapter. This has enabled each
new associate to base his membership on the values held in the BEACONS ofThe Journey.
"The Journey has given Omega the ability to attract a higher standard of men. We realize that higher standards are the key to
the survival of our chapter," said Taller. In November of this year, almost 25
percent of the chapter attended a Sophomore Leadership Institute on the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, facilitated by the Covey Leadership Center, in Indianapolis, IN.
Becoming a Journey chapter has not changed the daily life of the chapter, instead, it has changed the way the members are educated
and prepared for life after college. By implementing The Journey at Purdue, the chapter is taking a second look at the values and standards involved with being a fraternity man.
Omega is a chapter that has committed itself to building better men, knowing that they will compete in a new world of fraternity, and survive into a new century. Is your chapter ready to make that same commitment to greatness? *
The Award-Winning Journey Project
In the 16 months since its introduction at Pi Kapp College in 1995, The Journey has attracted attention from around the country, and has been lauded by many as a bold
initiative in the fraternal world. The Journey Project has been heralded as the future of Pi Kappa Phi by the National Fraternity; as the renaissance of the fraternal movement by alumni; and as the answer to the crisis of fraternity ailments by the Greek community -- all in its first year of existence. Recently, the leaders of the Greek world and the professional Association of Fraternity Advisors agreed.
At the Association of Fraternity Advisors (AFA) and National Interfraternity Conference (NIC) annual meeting, December 5-8 in Orlando, Fl., Pi Kappa Phi's Journey received
the highest award given for educational endeavors, the Educational Excellence Award. It is being recognized as a program based on the comprehensive
development of better men. *
FALL CHARTERINGS
Pi Kappa Phi returns to Arizona, arrives at Kentucky
On November 9, 1996, Pi Kappa Phi returned to an old, familiar place with
the rechartering of Beta Theta Chapter at the University of Arizona. Originally
chartered in 1951, Pi Kappa Phi had been absent from the Tucson, AZ campus since
1963. In September of 1995, the chapter was reborn and over the course of slightly
more than a year, emerged for rechartering with 60 members.
The chartering officer was National Secretary Ernest Johnson assisted by
Chuck Barnard, vice president of Pi Kappa Phi Properties. Tom Sullivan, director of
chapter services, and Leadership Consultant Tom Atwood represented the National
Headquarters. Members from Cal State
Fullerton (Zeta Rho) served as the initiat
ingteam.
According to Archon Eric Clingan,
the members of Beta Theta Chapter have
"felt a dramatic change in their lives due
solely to the standards to which we have
been exposed over the course of our
affiliation."
They have also changed how others view fraternities. The chapter CPA of
3.14 is well above the all fraternity average (2.4) and all men's average (2.7). The
chapter also had several members attend a PUSH Camp in Kentucky and had a
chapter member ride the Journey of Hope this past summer. Additionally, the
chapter raised $1,500 for PUSH America.
Earlier this fall, on October 26, 1996, the Eta Tau Chapter was chartered at
the University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky. Harry Caldwell, National
Treasurer, and John Andrews, National Chaplain, served as chartering officer and
assistant chartering officer, respectively. The National Headquarters was again
represented by Tom Sullivan, director of chapter services and Tom Atwood, leader
ship consultant. Chapter members from Morehead State (Delta Eta) and South
Alabama (Gamma Phi) served as the initiating teams.
The 64 member chapter started as a group of nineteen men in February of
1995. Since then they have quickly become an integral part of the UK Greek system
and plan on attaining higher goals now that they have achieved chartered status.
"As a chartered chapter, we will continue to become a stronger member of the growing family of Pi Kappa Phi," said Shawn Kent, Chartering Chairman. "We
hope this chapter will take a position as a leader on this campus and as a leader
among all chapters of Pi Kappa Phi." *

PUSH America
PROJECTS PROFILE PUSH Americo,s message of awareness is spread throughout the year by chapter members, alumni, staff and volunteers. From the pounding of nails at Give-A-PUSH Weekends and PUSH Camps to cheers from the crowds at No Boundaries
events and Journey of Hope arrivals, the message is heard loud and clear as members and friends of Pi Kappa Phi come together to improve the lives of those with disabilities.

Give-A-PUSH Weekends
The three Give-A-PUSH Weekends held in the
fall of 1996 combined $21,500 in grants with the
energy and commitment of 169 Pi Kappa Phi volun
teers to enhance the quality of life for people with
disabilities.
In Greenwood, S.C., 60 students representing
nine chapters built an accessible playground at
Merrywood Elementary School. The school provides
services for children in the community with physical disabilities. Before this project, there was not an
accessible playground for disabled youth anywhere in Greenwood County.
In Des Moines, Iowa, 41 students representing
six chapters rebuilt and renovated a cabin and repaired
the arts and crafts building at Easter Seals' Camp Sunnyside. The camp provides week-long, residential
camping for more
than 1,000 children
and adults with
disabilities, as well as
operating a day camp,
travel program, and respite services on selected
weekends throughout the year.
In Efland, N.C., 68 men from 12 chapters
enhanced accessibility at Camp Chestnut Ridge. The
camp offers summer programs for adults and children
with disabilities. Students created paths from the
cabins to the lodge, rebuilt ramps on cabins, and built
a retaining stair wall.
Held each spring and fall, Give-A-PUSH
Weekends combine contributions of funds and
manpower to make community resources more
accessible for people with disabilities.
PUSH Camps Held during March of each year, PUSH Camps
provide an alternative to traditional spring break
activities. Men of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity attend the
one-week camps during their respective spring breaks

No Boundaries In 1995-96, PUSH America launched
the No Boundaries program to encourage
Pi Kappa Phi chapters to create week-long
events that include PUSH America
programming and involve other chapters from across
the country. Last year, 43 chapters raised $20,565.
In 1997, April is No Boundaries month.
Participating chapters will select one week for their
fund-raising, awareness and volunteerism events. Our
1997 goal is 60 chapters.
For more information about No Boundaries, call
James Lawson, (704)522-7874, ext. 128.
Alumni turn the wheels The excitement and camaraderie of the Journey
of Hope isn't just for undergraduates. PUSH America
plays a key role in the overall fraternity development -
demonstrating the importance of charitable giving and
acknowledging the value of assisting those in need. For
alumni, involvement with PUSH America can rekindle
those feelings.
The Dallas/Fort Worth Alumni Association has
been involved with the Journey of Hope project since
1991. In 1991, '92 and '93, the team members were the
special guests of the Texas Rangers and were featured in
pregame ceremonies. All three years, the Alumni Associa
tion hosted tailgate barbecues before the team was
introduced. In 1992, they enhanced the event by inviting
children from the Fort Worth Spina Bifida Foundation to
participate in the barbecue and Rangers game.
In 1995, the group hosted a buffet
dinner for the cyclists as they carne through
town. The dinner was attended by numer
ous alumni, their wives, and parents of the
local chapter members.
"Our best events as far as quality
and attendance seem to always be centered
around PUSH America," said Nick Murzin,
Delta Psi association president. "PUSH
America is an institution that young and not-so-young
alumni can rally around together and feel proud of the
job that's done."
Local alumni associations are invited to hold an event in conjunction with the Journey of Hope! For more information, contact Chris Orr (704) 522-7874, ext. 125.

Thoughts on the Fraternity
Hightower assumes the position of
National President from Jeny Brewer,
South Carolina (Sigma), at the 45th
Supreme Chapter held in San Francisco, Calif, in August.
Pi Kappa Phi is now being captained by R. Nathan
Hightower, following his election to the office of
National President at the 45th Supreme Chapter. His
dedication to Pi Kappa Phi began in 1975 at the
University of Alabama where he became the 1107th
initiate of Omicron chapter. Following is a personal
Question & Answer interview regarding his thoughts
on Pi Kappa Phi -- past, present and future.
Why did you pledge Pi Kappa Phi?
I went through rush with two
other classmates, and one of our
main objectives was to live in the
fraternity house. During formal
rush, we had the pleasure of
meeting baseball hall-of-farner Joe Sewell. Sitting in the Omicron
chapter house and listening to
stories of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig made the
decision to go Pi Kappa Phi pretty easy.
Why did you initially run for the National Council?
My original interest in the National Council came first with the Fraternity's need for an attorney to
serve as National Chancellor. I am an attorney by
profession, and I answered Pi Kappa Phi's call for legal guidance at the Charlotte Supreme Chapter in
1985. I had already gotten so much from my
better in how all fraternities operate. We are con
scious now more than ever of the need to control the
distribution and consumption of alcohol.
Another change has been the great enhance
ment of PUSH America and its projects. By moving
away from play units, members of Pi Kappa Phi are
reaching a broader audience of people educating them about disabilities while experiencing more
leadership through service.
What role do you feel alumni should play in the
Fraternity?
Successful chapters have similar ingredients, and one
of those ingredients is an active alumni base. Alumni
involvement on the chapter level is absolutely
critical to providing continuity at each chapter. The
alumni must always be there to serve as the founda
tion. The advisory group is there during good and
bad times to keep the chapter on an even keel. The
future success of our Fraternity is dependent on each individual alumnus' willingness to assist when
called upon. It is important to remember that there are non-monetary ways of helping your chapter such
as mentoring and career networking. More alumni
are needed to serve on national committees as well. Alumni gifts are essential, however, as a source of
revenue to maintain the current level of activity. It is
a national initiative to help create an understanding
fraternity experience, and this was my opportunity to of "lifetime membership."
reach a level of national leadership. Having served as
Area Governor, this was the next logical step. I went
on to serve as chancellor for two terms. All totalled, I have served on our National Council for over 11
years in the positions of chancellor, secretary,
treasurer, vice president and now national president.
During your time on the National Council, what
have you seen as the major changes in Pi Kappa Phi?
One major societal change that has directly affected our Fraternity is the raising of the legal drinking age from 18 to 21. It has been a major change for the
18 THE STAR & LAMP
In an age when Greek systems seem to be
weakening, what is it in your opinion that will
keep Pi Kappa Phi a strong leader? In regards to Pi Kappa Phi being a leader, I am really
excited about our Journey Project. We are putting into play the principles of Pi Kappa Phi which have been around since the founders first created our Fraternity. We are now applying those prip.ciples to a
structured program in which we can see the natural development of our members. The uniformity of the project can then be emulated by each chapter across
the country. Pi Kappa Phi will remain strong in
today's Greek world, because of programs like the
Journey, our dedication to service through PUSH
America and a standard of excellence to which each
member and each chapter is held accountable.
What are your goals for the
next two years?
1. Professional development. I
would like to develop alumni
programs similar to Pi Kapp
College, geared to further exposure,
networking and professional
growth for our alumnus member.
2. Financial support. I would like to
lessen the reliance on student
members for financial support of
the national organization. We need
to develop alternative sources of
revenue through business ventures,
alumni, and programming.
3. Emphasize expansion. With The
Journey, PUSH America, and
continued alumni involvement, Pi
Kappa Phi is managing to open
doors on campuses that other
Greek organizations are not. We
need to continue to seize those
opportunities and create new ones.
4. "Gear Up Florida." We can take
the Journey of Hope concept which
continues to be successful on a
national level, and apply it to the
state of Florida. A bicycle trip to
raise awareness and money for
people with disabilities through
Florida will allow more members to share in the
experience and reach a larger audience with the mission of Pi Kappa Phi and PUSH America.
How has Pi Kappa Phi affected your life? Pi Kappa Phi shaped my professional development.
It gave me the opportunity to interact with people
from diverse backgrounds. It taught me the impor
tance of reaching consensus and developed my
leadership skills, giving me the confidence to take
the next step. By no coincidence, my best friends in
life are Pi Kapps.
How would you like to see
Pi Kappa Phi affect the lives
of today's undergraduate
members?
I would like the experience of
today's members to be a mirror
of my own. Each member can
take something unique from Pi
Kappa Phi and give something of
themselves back. It is an under
graduate member's opportunity
to exercise leadership skills and
interrelate with fellow human
beings. Pi Kappa Phi should
enhance the well being of an
individual -- making him a better
person. To most, college equals
scholastic growth, but it is also
the experience that the Fraternity
has given them.
How would you like to see
Pi Kappa Phi affect the lives of
today's alumni members?
I want our
alumni to better
understand that
they have a
lifetime mem
bership in their
Fraternity and
from that
"It's a privilege to
derive some
benefit -- whether it be skills,
contacts, involvement with our national projects, or professional enhancement. Pi Kappa Phi continues to put out quality graduates. As alumni we can
still take pride in that. *

Dear Pi Kappa Phi:
My hwband, Robert ("Brent") Ban; died on March 23, 1995 after a long but courageous battle with AIDS. Brent was a member of the Alpha Theta Chapter at Michigan State University- Class of 1989.
Brent loved Pi Kappa Phi and he talked about his fraternity days quite frequendy. He gained many wonderful and lasting friendships through his experience in Pi Kappa Phi. In fact, an old fraternity brother. .• would drive close to two holm each way from Santa Cruz to San Francisco to spend time with Brent when he was sick and could not leave the howe. They would constantly reminisce about Greek Week events, weekend fraternity parties and PUSH America events that they worked on together. [Brent's Pi Kapp brother} made this trip on a regular basis for over six months until Brent died. That bond of friendship and loyalty truly touched my heart.
Thank you for giving Brent a sense of brotheriJootL loyalty and belonging. I would appreciate it if you would remove Brent's name from your future mailing lists, so we can save a few u.es. Also, could you please report in your next magazine that Brent had passed away last yeart There may be some brothers out there that I was not tlble to contact. Thank you.

Cornell Pi Kapp covers summer's hottest events (cont.) Continued from page 1 7
the crew for their cross country trek, following
the Olympic torch until
it reached the site of the
Centennial Olympics
in Atlanta.
Lockard
describes the experience
as a "baptism by fire."
He immediately had to
learn how to script
interviews and work the cameras if necessary.
He was responsib le for making first contact with
all interviewees and performing all the pre
interview preparations. Plus, on most days he
was running on three hours
of sleep or less.
"The experience
really pushed me to the
limit," said Lockard. "How
ever, every day was a new
adventure and another chance
to meet new people and see
more of the country."
He also carried the
torch in Niagara Falls and
was able to spend a few days at the Olympics.
During the summer,
Lockard had the fortune
of meeting the executive
producer of World News
Tonight who offered him
a chance to work for
ABC during both the
Republican and Demo
cratic National Conven
tions. So, once the torch
had arrived in Atlanta,
Lockard was off to
spend three weeks in San Diego and two weeks
in Chicago to work on the set of World News
Tonight. His primary responsibilities were
"everything from setting up and tearing down
sets to getting Peter Jennings Fresca Cola."
Lockard will return to Cornell for the
spring semester which, he says, may be a bit
hard to get used to after such a free-spirited
adventure. His future plans include obtain
ing his degree in Labor Relations and
possibly law school. Mostly though, he
wants to "live life one day at a time and get
the most out of each day."
"I am extremely thankful to God for all
my great experiences and will continue to
follow what He has planned for me."
He has also planned one last excursion
before returning to Cornell. He is traveling to
Mexico with a Christian organization to help
build houses for the impoverished . They will be
bringing toys and gifts for children in the area to
help them celebrate the holidays. *

WINTER 19 9 7 27
in his sixth
year with the
league. He
was named
Coach of the Year after his
Yakima Sun Kings won the 1995
championship. He repeated as
CBA champion with the Sioux
Falls Skyforce in 1996. He owns
the CBA's second highest playoff
winning percentage at 66.7%
(22-11) and is back with the
Skyforce this winter.
Forward Scott Haskin,
the Fraternity's most recent NBA
player, was the Indiana Pacers'
first round draft pick in 1993.
The former Oregon State (Alpha
Zeta) star has fought injuries
during most of his pro career but
did play in 27 games in 1994. At
OSU, he earned All-Pac-10
honors in 1992-93, was team
MVP both seasons and twice
won the Ed Lewis Trophy for
leadership. The Beavers' career
28 THE STAR & LAMP
blocked shots
leader with 172,
Haskin also ranks
sixth in career
field goal shoot
ing (55 .0%),
eighth in career
rebounds ( 620)
and ninth in
career scoring (1,319 points) .
His best year was 1992 with
558 points (18.0), 201 re
bounds ( 6.5), 68 blocks,
61.2% field goal percentage
and a career high 33 points
versus the USC Trojans.
Several other OSU
athletes have played well in the
1990s. Forward Chad Scott was
co-winner of the Lew Beck Award
as outstanding newcomer in
1991, leading in scoring (17 .8)
and rebounding (8.3) . He was
also named to the Far West
Classic all-tournament team that
season. Henrik Ringmar won
team's Paul Valenti Award for
greatest desire and determination
in 1991 and was joined on the
squad by letterman Travis Stel.
Other key players of recent
vintage include
Wofford's 1986
co-captain Mike
Beardsley and
guard Brandon
Brewington,
whose last year was 1994, plus
tark Melton,
the top re
bounder for
Washington & Lee in 1992.
The Fraternity's most
recent star is guard Ia on Bul
lock, who played his final year in
1996. He helped lead Indiana
(Pa.) to the best record (80-12)
over the last three years in NCM
Division I or II and three appear
ances at the Division II "Sweet
Sixteen" tournament level. As a
freshman, he was PSAC West
Rookie of the Year, scoring 327
points (including a career high
32) and shooting 85.3% at the
line. In his sophomore year,
Bullock scored 342 points ( 11.1 ),
hit 49.1% of his 3-point attempts
and was on the IUP Classic all-
tournament team.
Bullock excelled again
in the 1995 season, setting a
school record with 85 3-point
field goals, dishing out a career
high 99 assists and scoring 331
points (10.7). Even though his
totals dropped off a bit in 1996,
he now ranks first in IUP career
free throw shooting (81.5%),
first in career 3-pointers (287)
and 11th in career scoring (1 ,261
points (10.6) . *
