I think the true discovery of America is before us. I think the true fulfillment of our spirit,of our people, of our mighty and immortal land, is yet to come. I think the true discoveryof our own democracy is still before us. And I think that all these things are certain as themorning, as inevitable as noon. I think I speak for most men living when I say that ourAmerica is Here, is Now, and beckons on before us. . .

INDSUMMER 1975

dwigrtiortiL on,I stood alone in the doorway of the

fraternity house. The living room behindme was fully lighted but empty. Thehouse was cold, cheerless, and complete-ly, lifelessly silent. Other men had beenwith me earlier in the evening. One byone they were led at uncomfortable inter-vals to the recesses of the house. Witheach new departure, the remaining menwould glance uneasily at one another.Some would smile wanly, others wouldresume their frantic leafing through thematerials they were studying. Now onlyI remained with the old companions offear and anger who seemed so much apart of our kindred during that week-long descent into brotherhood.

I looked out on the crisp, clear winternight. It was after midnight; the streetwas quiet, the neighborhood dark. Downthe street strolled a familiar figure. It was"Doc" walking his little dog. The oldgentleman had been a great friend of mygrandfather and was well-beloved by myfamily. He caught sight of me in the door-way, and seemed a little startled to seeme all dressed up in a suit and tie stand-ing there so late at night in that unfamil-iar fraternity door.

He stopped, smiled, and waved, andsaid, "Hello, Johnny." I suddenlythought of my grandfather, his dignityand quiet strength. It made me feelbetter. I was about to go down the littlefront walk to chat with "Doc" when ahand tapped me on the shoulder. I wheel-ed around. The voice said, "We're readyfor you."

We moved through the darkenedhouse. I asked the active if Audie hadmade it. The man with me sighed andsaid, "No, I'm sorry, he blew it."

I was swept by a feeling of cold ragewhich crushed my fear, smothered myapprehension of only minutes before.Audie was my best and dear friend, andfellow pledge. I found myself in a smallroom, in front of a stained sheet hangingas a screen, concealing the rasping voiceof a high fraternity official, a voice fullof questions about founders, dates, creed,ad nauseam. I answered each questionslowly, precisely, accurately; eachanswer became for me a point on a billof indictment, a nail to be driven in theoaken doors of a cold gothic building infar-away Illinois. The voice couldn'tbreak me. I beat it. It screamed for meto leave. I was on my way to the parkinglot when the vice-president of the chaptergrabbed my arm, and asked me to returnto the chapter house. I coldly refused.He pulled me back inside. Once in, I wasengulfed by cheers, laughter, slaps-on-the-back. It had been a joke; the long awaitedand long feared "national" fraternity testto determine whether we pledges wereworthy of full membership was after allwas done, just a brotherly jest. Iremember the wave of sweet relief. Butthe anger never left. They are mybrothers, and I will never forgive themthat night.

In the summer of 1965, a young

graduate student by the name ofThomas A. Leemon presented theresults of some anthropological re-search which he had done on fra-ternities to the Sigma Alpha Epsi-lon Leadership School of that year.The report which Leemon gave,himself a Sigma Alpha Epsilon,became a standard presentation atLeadership Schools in years there-after. Leemon, now an AssociateProfessor of Higher Education atColumbia University's TeachersCollege recently authored a bookbased on the results of the sameresearch used in the LeadershipSchool reports. The volume, entitl-ed, The Rites of Passage in a StudentCulture, was recently published byTeachers College Press in New YorkCity.The book is an anthropological

interpretation of the pledgeship andinitiation rites of a college socialfraternity. In the spring of 1963,the author observed and recordedthe pledging period of a chapter onthe campus of a college in theMiddle Atlantic section of theUnited States. He lived at the fra-ternity house during the period de-scribed in the book. By means ofpersonal observation and interview,Leemon concluded that the pledg-ing system which he observed inthis fraternity chapter follows theclassic behavioral pattern manifest-

A New Home ForWHY YOUR FRATERNITYNEEDS A NEW

HEADQUARTERS BUILDING

Nineteen twenty-four Vail Ave-nue is a two-story white framebuilding. When constructed in 1924it was a charming private home.The Pi Kappa Phi ScholarshipFoundation purchased this build-ing in 1965 for use as a NationalHeadquarters for the fraternity.Pi Kappa Phi had two staff mem-bers serving 56 chapters and 17,550members. It has served extremelywell for these ten years. It had, andhas, inadequacies which can nolonger be overlooked, nor over-come. These inadequacies had to beattended to either through the leaseof property, or a completely newbuilding had to be designed andbuilt. This is necessary to accom-modate a staff of seven serving 86chapters and 33,200 members.A headquarters building commit-

tee, chaired by W. Bernard Jones,Jr., Past National President, wasformed. Your committee exploredthe two possibilities, and determin-ed that due to the space require-ments, and the costly price of suit-able lease property, the construc-tion option was more practical forthe fraternity. Your committee

then explored the various ramifica-tions of a new structure, and madea specific recommendation to theNational Council.The problems regarding the 1924

Vail Avenue property which led tothis decision were in the followingmajor areas:

1. The building was built as aresidential home. This in itselfcaused many ineficiencies.

2. The building is equipped witha steam heating system which isantiquated and inconsistent.

3. Since the house was builtbefore the advent of air condition-ing, there were no provisions madefor a central system; therefore, it isbeing operated with several windowunits which are expensive andtroublesome, as well as being un-sightly.

4. The building materials used inthe original building were basicallyvery good; however, the mainte-nance and the replacement of thesebuilding materials is almost pro-hibitive.

5. Space while there is almost2,500 square feet of space in theproperty, a great deal of it is takenup with stairways, hallways, bath-rooms, decorative areas, so that amuch smaller amount of space isactually available for the opera-tions of the fraternity.

ed in transitional states in otherinstitutions in ours and othersocieties.

As a means of continuing re-vitalization, societies and institu-tions within societies set up modesand devices of transition to enableindividuals to move from one statusor position to another, to confirmthe individuals' new relationshipwith the other members of thegroup, and simultaneously to re-affirm the values and conditionsof existence which are the goal andbasis of the institution's or society'slife.

These modes of transition arecalled "the rites of passage," aseries of events often characteriz-ed and symbolized by ritual andceremony. Classic anthropologicaltheory holds that such rites ofpassage are comprised of threesequential phases: separation, trans-ition, and incorporation. As anillustration of this theory, Leemonuses one of our society's mostrevered institutions:

For example, the events associat-ed with entrance into marriagemay be characterized by a pro-posal and its acceptance (separa-

6. The building was constructedin 1924. The electrical system is theoriginal and needs to be replacedimmediately.

7. Structurally the building isnot sound and as a result will notsupport renovation and remodeling.

8. Parking for staff and visitorsis minimal and all must competewith a hospital across the street.INEFFICIENT IS THE BEST

WORD TO DESCRIBE THE PRO-PERTY IN TERMS OF THEFRATERNITY'S CURRENT ANDFUTURE NEEDS.

WHAT THIS MEANSTO YOU!

Pi Kappa Phi takes pride in theservices that it has been able to pro-vide to its individual members andto its chapters. While we are amongAmerica's youngest college fratern-ities, we are also among its most

dynamic. The growth and stabilitythat have marked Pi Kappa Phi'shistory have not been accidental.It has come as a result of the workof dedicated individuals who haveserved the fraternity both voluntar-ily and professionally.

The need for services has chang-ed with the fraternity' growth andwith the change of the society inwhich we operate. Your fraternityhas always risen to meet the chal-lenge of growth.

As our need for facilities haschanged throughout the years, wehave relocated to meet our needs.The new headquarters building isthe fraternity's first physical plantspecifically designed for our use.

Dear Sir:

In your front page article of"The Star and Lamp" a statementwas made that Governor Edwardswas the first Pi Kapp RepublicanGovernor of South Carolina, whichis correct, and that Brother GeorgeBell Timmerman was the first PiKapp Governor of South Carolina.I believe you will find that you areincorrect in this statement becausethe late Brother Olin D. Johnstonwas the first Pi Kapp Governor ofSouth Carolina.

Tom Wolfe admonished that you can

never go home again--a Greek philoso-

pher had said it earlier when he reminded

us that we can never step in the same

river twice. Yet we people, not like lesser

animals, make constant supplication to

"the good old days".

Too often the good old days were notreally good after all, especially when

held up to the reflection of history. Yet,

even when the bubble is broken, when

our eyes are finally opened, our hearts

refuse to listen and we continue to

yearn for the times that were, the good

old days.

There is an exception. There is a time

we will not seek to repeat. At least we

will not want to experience again the

student life of the mid and late 1960'sand early '70's—the "time of trouble"

for the American college student.

We are all aware of the trials and

tribulations, the destruction, the death,

the self death created by the stupid drug

culture, and many other annihilating

events. A dark age of youth experiences --a disaster of catastrophic dimension for

the college Greek letter fraternity.As sure as we do not want to return to

those "good" old days, we are aware of

the dramatic change on the American

campus today. Fraternity is again a very

positive force on what is once again apositive campus environment. What hap-

pened?

Unlike most human behavioral re-

sponses, this one can be identified easily,

quickly and in extremely simple terms.

The interchange of meaning between two

words gives us the answer.

The vocal majority of students at the

time of trouble was more "selfish"—themajority of current students is more

"selfless". As simple as that!

Those selfish students of those olderdays were egotists, monopolists and justplain spoiled btats. DO YOUR OWNTHING! Will the ring of that mercenary,

venal and self indulgent phrase ever again

raise its ugly head? We certainly pray not!

Instead, today's visual student appears

to be approaching life on campus with amore restrained and self respecting

attitude—a more "selfless" person in-deed.

Fraternity cannot survive, much lessprosper, in an environment of selfishness.At worst fraternity requires a person tohave a neuter evaluation of his personalself value. In the "selfish" do your ownthing environment, fraternity, along withtoo many other life quality values, wentby the wayside.

Today's campus has no halo and can-not be said to be totally a selfless society.It is more so than previously—and the

campus is therefore more positive towardfraternity than in those never to againbe experienced good old days.

HOW YOU

CAN HELP

There are many things whichcauses a corporation or organiza-tion to stand out head and shoul-ders above its contemporaries.Many of these are obvious andsome are not so obvious. A frater-nal organization such as ours isbasically no different. We too mustoperate in a businesslike manner us-ing sound managerial judgment.From a business point of view, oneof our strongest assets has been alow debt service. We wish if at allpossible to keep it this way. We feelthat only through a low debt ser-vice are we able to provide the out-standing services which we are nowproviding and which we intend toprovide in the future to both ourstudent and alumni brothers.

Since the fraternity's inception

we have asked relatively little from

our brotherhood with regard to

financial assistance. But we are now

at a crossroads, a very significantpoint with regard to the future ofour fraternity. For this reason we

are appealing to both our studentchapters and our alumni members

to seriously consider making asignificant financial contribution toyour fraternity for the constructionof the new national headquartersbuilding. We make no apology forthis solicitation because we trulybelieve that each of you realizethe importance of the new head-quarters and what it will mean tothe fraternity now and in the future.This is why we ask you to financial-ly commit yourself to this worthyproject and this is why we feel con-fident that you will.

All contributors names will be onpermanent display in the new head-quarters building. A special plaquewill be erected listing alphabetical-ly those givers in the class from$100 to $500, $500 to $1,000 and

$1,000 and above. In addition therewill be a bound volume contain-ing the names of all contributorsto the headquarters building.

YOUR FORMER CONTRIBU-TIONS HAVE MADE PI KAPPAPHI THE GREAT FRATERNITYTHAT IT IS AND THIS BUILD-ING WILL _ SYMBOLIZE ITSGROWTH AND STABILITY.

The Changed World

of Henry Bartlett.

Suppose you were born in 1932,handicapped from the start bycerebral palsy. And then in 1959your livelihood depended uponyour selling newspapers on a streetcorner in Miami, Florida. In spite ofthe fact that you had a B.S. degreefrom Florida Southern University,business and industry was not readyto accept you. Think of the nega-tive attitude you would have to-

ward life as you ran against apathy,misunderstanding and frustration.Not if you were Henry Bartlett,initiate of Beta Beta Chapter,Florida Southern University.

Brother Bartlett has transferredthe anguish and pain of such abeginning to a positive present anda promissing future. He has madehis world conform to his determina-tion. He does not hesitate to tellyou that he gives first credit for thisto his Christian faith!

His next praise extends to theGoodwill Industries of SouthFlorida. It was this organization'sprogram of rehabilitation and train-ing that offered him the firstopportunity for a better life.Through them he received skillseducation and training-but ofmore importance he achieved per-sonal adjustments.

Lastly, Henry appreciates RyderSystems, Inc. (transportation).There he is one of the best known

and best liked employees as heworks as a purchasing technician.In 1974 he was selected as the out-standing handicapped citizen andwas the subject of a United Fundpromotional film.

Henry exhibits a keen sense ofhumor and relates well with hisfellow man. With faltering speechhe is able to hold the attention andadmiration of large luncheongroups and service clubs, manytimes receiving standing ovations.

The President of Ryder Systems presents Henry

Bartlett a special plaque from the United Fund.

Henry speaks of himself with

confidence and a little pride. He

also acknowledges the influence of

his fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi! With

all of his circumstances he still

says, "my greatest joy in life is

trying to help other people."

Would you have that attitude if

you were Henry Bartlett, a really

significant member of Pi Kappa

Phi?

tion), engagement activities (trans-

ition), and the wedding ceremony

(incorporation). The incorpora-

tion ceremony itself may con-

tain a reduplication of the three

phases: the families give away a

son and daughter at the begin-

ning of the ceremony (separa-

tion), the recitation of rights,

responsibilities, and vows by the

parties (transition), and the pro-

nouncemnt of the marriage's be-

ing recognized and confirmed bythe minister (incorporation).

Whatever the particular details,

the pattern of rites remains the

same--the pattern of the rites

of passage.

This pattern is prevalent in a vastand contrasting array of humaninstitutions and societies. For pur-poses of comparison, Leemon de-lineates the initiatory events andritual of the Poro Bush Society ofLiberia. This secret society is adevice utilized by tribes in theLiberian hinterlands to introducethe young boys into their newstatus as adults. Here the tripar-tite pattern of separation, transi-tion and incorporation stands outin emphatic relief. The fascinationof Leemon's work is to see thesame phases manifest themselvesin initiatory activities of a fair-ly typical American College socialfraternity chapter.

During the separation phase, therushee-pledge begins to adapt tochanges in social relations whichsignal that he is acquiring a newstatus. The contacts and relation-ship on campus and in his dormsare altered by his fresh and newinteraction with members of thefraternity.

In the transition phase thepledge is prepared by means ofpledge duties, classes, ceremony,regulation, and ordeal to adjustto new patterns of life and socialrelationship. This is a period inwhich the pledge's capability forsuch a way of life is put to severeand prolonged test. During thisperiod he is expected to adjust tothe demand of the fraternity forcertain control over his life and, inturn, the members of the fraternitybegin to adapt to the new presenceof different human beings who willalter the pre-existing pattern ofrelationships, and hopefully recon-firm and revitalize the existinghierarchical and social structure ofthe group.The incorporation phase is

marked by ritual and ceremonywhich symbolizes the inclusion ofthe pledge in the full life of thechapter, and the resumption of hisfull range of outside associationsaltered only by his new-foundfraternal relationships.An inevitable question has risen:

Is fraternity pledgeship and itsconcomitant events such as "HellWeek" simply a part of a largerhuman predilection for rites ofpassage devices; and given thishuman tendency to engage in suchrites, is the fraternity thwartingsome kind of innate human need byattempting to discourage pre-initia-tion rites like "Hell week"?Such questions as these have a

distinct kinship with the crude

biological determinism which isnow current in much thinkingabout human behavior . . . the basisof the argument is that many ofman's fundamental behavioral traitssuch as aggressiveness have some-how been "programmed" into himby genetics, and that no amount ofeducation or social engineering orcultural adjustment will serve tosubstantially alter these traits.To suggest that "Hell Week"

and like features of pledgeshipare innately and inherently part oflarger human predilictions for "ritesof passage" is to tacitly imply thatnothing can or should be doneabout the more objectionable ele-ments of pledgeship; that ourresponsibility for the frequentabuses of "Hell Week" and pledgingitself is somehow diminished be-cause of inevitable human tenden-cies long conditioned by eitherbiology or unalterable cultural bias.The notion that the fraternity

is somehow dealing with fixed andimmutable human traits when itattempts to alter the 'nature ofpledge education obscures the basicfact that even the most rigidlyinherited conditions of man, bothphysical and behavioral, are high-ly susceptible to environmentalmanipulation. Were this not so,those who suffered from myopia,diabetes, epilepsy, aphasia, and thelike would be lost. Theories ofmodern education begin with theassumption that man is a malle-able creature whose capacity forchange is considerable.

Fraternity pledgeship is indeedmade up of "rites of passage."Leemon has accurately describedthe behavioral forms, modes, andpatterns which comprise thoserites. However, the responsibilityfor the substance of these inevitablepatterns is directly ours. At theroot of the issues regarding pledge-ship and "Hell Week" rest essential-ly moral and philosophical ques-tions.

In his introductory chapters,Leemon remarks on the "stakes"that are implied in the "rites ofpassage":

... these periods of transition arefraught with danger and socialstress The transition is stressfulto the neophytes, who mustsuccessfully assert their claim tobecome incorporated in the socie-ty or a part of it, and who alsoseek to attain recognized positionsin it. Once they enter the transi-tion phase, they leave behind, insome degree, familiar relationsand recognized positions in socie-ty, and expose themselves to thepossible failure of attaining andbeing accorded new positions.

Likewise, the society is also

threatened because, although it

must sponsor the neophytes and

assure their successful attainment

of positions in society, the transi-

tion must be carried out in a

way that repairs the disturbed

social relations in the society and

that brings the neophytes under

society's control, lest the society

be harmed instead of revitalized.

The American College Fraternityis an educational institution beforeit is anything else. Its task is toteach the individual human being toenjoy the society of other men andwomen. It exists in order to createan environment conducive to thefull flowering of human potential.Lest our "rites of passage" harmrather than revitalize us, considerthese points:

One, that Brotherhood is not anend in itself. It can be a destructiveforce, a machine of aimless or evenmalignant unity. History groanswith the memory of brotherhoodsof brutality -Hitler's SS, the Sicil-ian Mafia, the Thugees of India,and in their time, some of themonastic orders of the Church.Such artificial 'unities, devoid ofbenign goals, swiftly fall into per-versity. In our own pledge pro-grams, the inevitable demand for"unity" is a dominant feature.

Chapters divide into armedcamps, active unity vying in mind-less conflict against pledge unity.There is no larger goal. It seems,at times, as if the fraternity hasabandoned all other educationaldevices in favor of human suffer-ing. It is an effective device; it doesengender unity. All the great en-gines of disaster, both natural andman-made, such as wars and earth-quakes and the like, have causedmen to work together in unityborn of adversity. Armies have an-ciently trained men to be killersthrough the use of coercion andfear. The bootcamps of our ownnation's armed services are no ex-ception. It is strange that we, whosegreatest stated goal is "brotherlylove", choose to teach that virtuethrough coercion and harrassmentrather than by example of har-mony, trust, and good will. Noone can explain the fact that weinvite men to share our brother-hood, and then defer and withholdfrom them for months on end thosevery qualities of support andaffection which are at the heart oftrue brotherly love. It is a contra-diction in terms to believe that wecan teach other men to be ourbrothers without being "brotherly"toward them. How healthy is acommunity of men who seek toelicit brotherhood through thebrutalization of one another?Two, that fraternity pledgeship,

as presently constituted, provides aforum for the debasement of hu-man freedom. As a mechanism ofdebasement, it allows the worstpassions and instincts of the activeto emerge. It is a context whichencourages the most authoritariandimensions of men. It demands ser-vility from the pledge, tyranny andcondescension from the active. Itis the fraternity's first and basiceducational tool, yet its educationalfunction is minimal. Fraternal andhistorical facts, the Greek alphabet,rigid rules of manners and deport-ment are force fed to pledges asif they were stuffed geese. Aneffective contemplation of thefraternity's history, traditions andphilosophy is denied and demeanedby this fact-mill approach; pledgetraining methods imply a basic con-tempt for the true substance of theknowledge at hand. Methods thatmembers would not for an instanttolerate in the classrooms of theircolleges or universities, they imposewith alacrity upon their own educa-tional charges. Whatever real educa-tion in brotherhood or knowledgethat fraternity men gain throughpledging is offset by the tremen-dous damage done to the psyche ofboth member and pledge in thebitter paternalistic relationship fos-tered by our pledging systems.As a fraternity, we claim to serve

the American college and universitysystem. We propose to facilitatethe processes of maturity andgrowth which find direction inhigher education. Yet internally wecreate an educational system whichis, in its basic tenor, sadomasochis-

Page 5

tic in approach. It too often resultsin full reign to the domineeringinstinct of actives, and offeringpledges the perverse promise ofequal domination over others aftertheir ascent to full membership. Isit any wonder that professionaleducators, college administration,and faculty regard us with such dis-taste? Our pledging policies arebasically inconsistent with the civil-izing traditions of academia.

American society's widespreadsuspicion of fraternities derives asmuch from the basic servility of ourpledging programs as from our stu-pid policies of secrecy and exclu-sivity of membership. I suspectthat, in general, the Americanpublic regards our institution asbeing contrary to the highesttraditions of American democracy;and perhaps they are right.

It is time to examine whether wereally need pledgeship at all. His-torically, we have not always hadthese elongated pledgeships. Manygreat fraternity leaders and found-ers were pledged and initiated inthe course of days.More mature fraternal institu-

tions, such as the Freemasons, havenot found it necessary to use ex-tended pledge-like probationaryperiods of the sort that collegefraternities have utilized. Yet theseinstitutions are able to compel asgreat and abiding a loyalty fromtheir menbers as we. It may well bethat the phenomenon of pledge-ship is in some measure related tothe age group that college frater-nities draw upon. Perhaps oldermen feel more secure about them-selves, and thus find it less neces-sary to impose systems of rigid,arbitrary authority over one an-other in their fraternal designs.Our fraternity would be none theworse if we drastically foreshort-ened the pledging period, and turn-ed the energies that we now spendin artificial pledge-active antago-nism into the alleviation of some ofthe social problems that affectthe large community. There isenough human suffering withoutour adding to it. One of the primequalifications for membership inour order should be the acknowl-edgement from each member thatto abuse another person is an ex-pression of feeble, inadequate, mis-placed masculinity.When the membership of our

institution, as a microcosm of soci-ety, more closely reflects the realnature of the world at large, per-haps the normal dynamic of humanrelations will be better able toassert itself, and the abnormal"domination-submission" theme inour pledge structures will subside.A fraternity has no need to aban-

don the age-old "rites of passage".This pattern, so interestingly ex-plichted in Leemon's book, is for-ever enshrined in the fraternity'smagnificent ritual. Leemon indi-cates that the three phase rites ofpassage scheme is flexible enoughto meet the transitional need of anysociety or institution. Let us striveto deemphasize the separation, andtransition sequences by more acces-sible membership policies, andshorter pledging periods; the greatincorporation phase should become

the mainstay of our fraternal ed-

ucational system.We should suffer this frivolous

conformity of spirit to last nolonger.

MEMBERSHIP GROWTH REPORTJuly 1, 1974- June 30, 1975

For the 1974-75 school year there was a substantial increase in thenumber of pre-initiates, 1466 compared to 1251, an increase of 17.8% —while initiations increased by 5.6%, 1234 compared to 1168 for the previ-ous year. The results for each chapter reflects where congratulations aredue and where hard work is still necessary.

This year the significance of increased size was noted in the first yearof a two year program--the Pi Kappa Phi Plus 5! A chapter was given thegoal of five initiations more than were initiated the previous school year.Special recognition is given to these successful chapters.
