our first State of the Fraternity address,

on pages 22-25, national president Jerry

Brewer and I affirm our belief in the

principles of scholarship, leadership

and values upon which our Fraternity

was founded, and we assert that it is

Pi Kappa Phi's responsibility to uphold

them. (A summary of last year, includ-

PUSH America, the Fraternity's national

partners. One reason is the Journey of Hope, a

3,500 mile bike trek to raise money and

awareness for some very special people.

Another is its new executive director, Sally

Aug. 9 for Pi Kapp College, the Fraternity's

biggest event of the summer.

Charleston, S.C. -- home to Alpha chapter

-- served as an appropriate backdrop for th e

biennial leadership conference. Chapter

leaders from 131 chapters, several alumni

associations, and the governing boards of the

greater Fraternity came together for five days

of educational programming, special events,

collaboration and decision making.

The conference required early

mornings, late nights and long days.

Panel discussions, break-out sessions

and group initiatives afforded students

the opportunity to learn from each other.

"Pi Kapp College allowed us to

discuss our problems and deficiencies

with other brothers to find solutions

and new ideas," said Ian Goodhew,

"Pi Kapp College provoked me into

orty-six years of dedication led to the

announcement of this year's Mr.

Pi Kappa Phi, Dr. James B. Edwards. The

251st initiate of Alpha Chapter received the

Fraternity's highest honor on Aug. 11, during

awards night at Pi Kapp College. Executive

director emeritus Durward W. Owen, Roanoke

(Xi), named Edwards Mr. Pi Kappa Phi 1995

at his alma mater of the College of Charleston.

In his youth, Edwards worked as a soda

jerk in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., and for more than

five decades, he has continued to "serve the

people."

During World War II, he served with the

U.S. Maritime Service, becoming a licensed

merchant marine at age 19. Edwards was the

first Republican governor of South Carolina

after Reconstruction, resigning his office as a

member of the state Senate in 1975 to take the

position. He chaired the subcommittee on

nuclear energy in 1978, and served as Secretary

of Energy from 1981-82.

Initiated in 1949, the 68-year-old Edwards

graduated with his bachelor's

Former Carolina degree in 1950. He continued

Dr. ]ames B. Edwards addresses Pi Kapp College . . .

This outstanding brother has served

Pi Kappa Phi in many capacities, most recently

as a Foundation trustee and chairman. He was

inducted into the Pi Kappa Phi Hall of Fame in

1981.

Edwards' Fraternity brothers describe him

as professional and positive.

"Not only has he succeeded as a profes­

sional, he has embraced the true essence of

what it means to be a Pi Kappa Phi," said

David Simas, Old Dominion (Gamma Beta),

who worked with Edwards as an intern.

"Despite his considerable political and

organizational power, he is a sincere and

thoughtful individual. He is generous in his

praise of associates and takes every opportu­

nity to help his fellow man," Simas said.

Durward Owen said that Edwards has

been "an excellent mentor in how to handle

power or authority in a most human and

caring way."

after being named Mr. Pi Kappa Phi

Edwards and his wife of 44 years, Ann, live

in Charleston, where he serves as president of

the Medical University of South Carolina. They

have two grown children.

Among Edwards' many honors are the

James B. Edwards Elementary School in Mt.

Pleasant, dedicated in 1981; the Founders

Medal of the College of Charleston, awarded

in 1985; the Tree ofLife Award in 1990; the

Good Citizenship Silver Medal in 1991; and

the American Dental Association's Distin­

guished Service Award in 1994.

Edwards received the Mr. Pi Kappa Phi

award in the Sottile Theater to a standing

ovation of Pi Kapps of all ages. He was pre­

sented with a framed document of the official

resolution from the National CounciL which

concluded, "Now therefore be it resolved that

Brother James Burrows Edwards be extended

the Fraternity's deepest appreciation for his

proven caring and devotion to Pi Kappa Phi."

DURWARD W. OWEN INTERFRATERNITY AwARD

Ed King One of Pi Kapp College's most distinguished and motivating speakers, Edward M. King of Sigma Chi Fraternity, was awarded the Durward W. Owen Interfraternity Award for Greek Service.

In only its second year of existence, the Durward

Owen Award was given to King, a familiar face at

Pi Kapp College and at many other national Greek

conventions.

King plays an active role in the Greek community

at Bradley University, where he serves as the advisor for

the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils. He is also

the executive director of housing, residential life and

the student judicial system at Bradley.

Within the national fraternity of Sigma Chi, he

holds the position of Grand Tribune and previously

has served on the executive committee and as a

Province officer.

As chairman of the Commission on Values and

Ethics for the National Interfraternity

Conference, King has given presentations

to more than 30 national organizations.

His essay, "Secrets Thoughts of a Rhual,"

has been published in the Fraternity News­

letter, the White Diamond of Pi Kappa Phi

and many other fraternity and sorority

publications.

Following the awards ceremony at

Pi Kapp College, King presented a seminar

on fraternity ritual. His presentation, which

focuses on the nature of ritual and how it

can be used in an informal and personal way, prepared

the Pi Kapps in attendance for the model ritual of

initiation that followed.

"Ed King's personal analogies relating to ritual

and its intended meaning are entertaining and educa­

tional," said Owen, who retired last year after 35 years

of service as Pi Kappa Phi's chief executive. "He is a

tremendous asset and an example for the entire Greek

community." FALL 1995 5

I a red Genser

adds Pi Kapp

award to a

long list of

achievements

H e shook the hand of the First Lady when

he was honored at the White House for

his public service work. He helped the

Department of Justice raise $3.3 million to

place 210 national service participants in cities

from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. And former

New York governor Mario Cuomo appointed

him policy advisor to the New York State

National Service Commission. But for Jared

Genser, being named Pi Kappa Phi's Phillip

M.Summers Student of the Year is his proudest

accomplishment.

The recent Cornell University graduate is

a John F. Kennedy Memorial Award recipient,

a speaker for the AmeriCorps Human Needs

Forum, an Excellence Award recipient for the

New York Governor's Office for Voluntary

Service, a Robinson-Appel Humanitarian

Award recipient, and a Public Service Summer

Fellowship recipient of the Echoing Green

Foundation.

e ear This unusually lengthy list of accomplish­

ments and honors for someone so young (he's

22) stems from his desire to help others.

"In college, my passion for helping others

has come to drive the pursuit of my academic

coursework," Genser said. He spent his first

year of college at Michigan, home to Alpha

Kappa chapter, then transferred to Cornell for

its interdisciplinary approach to community

problem solving.

As a Points of Light Ambassador for the

state of Maryland, Genser helped lieutenant

governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend develop

the nation's first statewide community service

requirement for high school graduation. In this

position, he had the opportunity to speak to

more than 15,000 students in 18 of Maryland's

24 school districts. Townsend describes him as

"energetic, imaginative and intelligent."

Despite his service obligations, Genser

regularly made the Dean's List. Majoring in

human service studies, Genser dealt with social

issues on a daily basis to gain the experience he

feels is necessary to better understand their

implications. He has provided home care to

the terminally ill, initiated a program to match

students with developmentally disabled adults,

and taught classes addressing homelessness.

"Bringing those experiences into an

academic context has enriched my learning and

has sensitized me to the complexity of many

difficult issues facing our world," Genser said.

Genser served Pi Kappa Phi's Alpha Kappa

chapter as president of his 16-member pledge

class, and he founded a PUSH America project

which sent members of the chapter to the Just

Photo by Gary Keiffer, Gannett News Service

Us Club, a program for developmentally

disabled children. At Psi chapter, Censer held

the positions ofWarden and Chaplain, and he

founded the Cornell chapter of Best Buddies of

America, which pairs Cornell students with

developmentally disabled adults.

Former national president Phil Summers

named Censer Student of the Year on Aug. 12

at Pi Kapp College. Censer was unable to

accept the award in person, so a chapter

brother accepted on his behalf. Censer cur­

rently resides in Israel as one of 12 students

worldwide to receive a Raoul Wallenberg

Scholarship to attend a year of graduate study

at the Hebrew University. The function and

role of leadership in democratic societies will

be the focus of his studies overseas.

"''ve always been involved in public service

work and saw the scholarship as a unique

opportunity to study politics and human rights

in the context of another culture," Censer told

the Cornell Chronicle before leaving for Isreal.

Censer graduated from Cornell this spring

and has deferred his acceptance to Harvard's

John F. Kennedy School of Government until

fall 1996.

Summers has initiated a new gift for the

Student of the Year beginning in 1995. Along

with a cash prize awarded by the national

Fraternity, Summers gave Censer a signet ring.

The Supreme Chapter named the award in

honor of Summers at its 44th meeting, in

August 1994. "The ring is designed specifically

for the Student of the Year as an outward sign

of the excellence he represents for all of

Pi Kappa Phi," Summers said.

where he served as

PUSH chairman. He

graduated from

UNCC in 1985 and

joined the police

force after graduat­

ing from the

Greensboro Police

Academy in 1986.

Hall's connec­

hood, Hall and his

later, the students

requested Hall as

their chapter advisor.

Archon Steve

Snyder said Hall has

been a key factor in

keeping the alumni

in constant contact

with the under­

graduates. Snyder

also said that Hall

has served as an

advisor to the young

Greek system at

UNC Greensboro.

"Steve believes

that for us to grow,

other fraternities on

campus must grow,

too," Snyder said.

"He always backs us

up, helps us to

accept our faults and

to rise above them."

Hall said, "When

I left UNCC, Pi Kapp

was just a memory.

Being able to get

involved again has

enabled me to give

something back

This award is the

greatest honor I've

been blessed with

the Fraternity."

Hall was named

Chapter Advisor of

the Year Aug. 12 at

Pi Kapp College.

Due to his reserve

training, he was

unable to attend, so

Snyder accepted the

award on his behalf.

This year, one of

Hall's goals as

chapter advisor is to

help restore Epsilon

wanted to book a big name speaker for a

public event on campus. Crane, who

eventually became Alpha Iota #1,153,

came to Auburn at the suggestion of

Virginia Suggs, the chapter's

housemother and a political

observer.

Crane and Alpha Iota hit

it off from the start, and

when the chapter discovered

that he had not been affiliated with a

fraternity in college, they decided to offer

him a chance to become a Pi Kappa Phi.

A second visit was set up, and in

November 1984, Crane was alumni

initiated. He still keeps in contact with the

chapter. "He's always there to help the

brothers whenever possible," says Area VIII

governor and chapter advisor Ralph Foster.

Crane was elected to the House in

1969, in a special election necessitated by

Rep. Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. He is

one of a handful of representatives to hold

a doctoral degree. He has a Ph.D. and a

master's degree from Indiana University and

a bachelor's degree from Hillsdale College.

FALL 1995 13

A bold new initiative to create better Fraternity men

sets high standards for scholarship, leadership, service

i Kappa Phi Fraternity

has embarked on a

Journey. It's an

arduous Journey that

wi ll require alumni,

students, volunteers

and staff members

to work together to

make Pi Kappa Phi

America's leading

Fraternity. And it's an

individual Journey-­

one that will create better Pi Kappa Phi chap­

ters by first creating better men.

As colleges and universities across the

country continue to question the

value of Greek letter organizations,

Pi Kappa Phi is becoming a

shin ing example of the positive

influence of Greek life.

"Fraternities in America are

under attack," says CEO Mark E.

Timmes. "Many educational

institutions do not see how the Greek system

can coexist with the educational goals of the

universities and colleges. The Journey refocuses

our chapters on our founding principles of

scholarship and values, to create better men ."

The idea of a higher standard is the

backbone of The Journey. The Journey stands

on the foundation of Seven Guiding Principles

ca ll ed "The Beacons" --Balance, Excel lence,

Accountability, Commitment, Opportunity,

No Limits and Stewardship.

When The Journey was unveiled at Pi Kapp

College in August, every chapter became part

of The Journey: Level One. Level One pro­

gramming includes enhanced benefits from

the National Headquarters, ranging from

upgraded materials such as officer manuals

and rush brochures, to increased alumni

relations support, to two new

sites for the Mid-Year Leadership

Conferences. Level One also

includes a retooled Leadership

Consultant program .

To reach the next level,

chapters have the opportunity to

become "Journey Chapters" by

meeting enhanced standards for scholarship,

leadership, service, participation and alumni

relations. These standards go beyond the

Minimum Chapter Standards as defined by

Supreme Law. Partici-

pation by chapters is

voluntary: To be

considered, at least

90% of the chapter

must vote to become

a Journey Chapter.

And the individuals

within that chapter

also must qualify by

meeting and adhering

to higher standards.

Journey Chapters

will receive enhanced

benefits and program­

ming through a three

step program for

chapter members. The Journey is a planned,

four-year program to lead and develop students

in three critical areas: collegiate success and

service, leadership and personal development,

and career and life planning.

Collegiate Success and Service

The first step on The Journey focuses on

scholarship and service. Using a model called

the "Collegiate Success Program," designed by

Dr. Richard Voorneveld, Charleston (Alpha),

each Journey Chapter entering class will

participate in a planned curriculum imple­

mented by a faculty advisor to help maximize

academic performance.

"This is much more than a 'how to study'

course," explains National Scholarship Commit­

tee chairman Steve Sanders, Indiana (Alpha Psi),

"It includes time management concepts and

emphasizes the scheme of balance--mental,

physical and spiritual."

Since service is a major component of the

entire Pi Kappa Phi experience, the first year is

the perfect time to start. Through hands-on

projects, Journey Chapter members will learn

the value of service beyond self through

required participation

in PUSH America

events.

Pi Kappa Phi is

unique among Greek

letter organizations

for having created its

own national out­

reach project. PUSH

America provides

service and education

to promote a greater

understanding of

people with disabili­

ties. Since its creation

in 1977, PUSH

America has raised

more than $3 million and has enabled thousands

of Pi Kapps to participate in service projects.

Leadership and Personal Development

For years Pi Kappa Phi has been an innova­

tor in leadership training with such institu­

tions as Pi Kapp College and regional Mid-Year

Leadership Conferences. Now Journey Chapter

members will have the opportunity to attend a

new leadership initiative offered by no other

fraternity--the Sophomore Leadership Insti­

tute.

Working with the renowned Covey Insti­

tute for Leadership, qualifying Journey Chapter

members will attend a Covey seminar on

leadership and personal development--based

upon the highly effective "Seven Habits"

course--in their sophomore year.

"This is perhaps the most exciting part of

The Journey for our student members because

it's a chance to learn principles of motivation

and leadership from the best known, most

respected source in the nation," said Jerry

Brewer, national president. "Personal leader­

ship is about putting individual principles in

line with personal actions. As a result, the

leaders of Pi Kappa Phi today will be the leaders

of America and our communities tomorrow."

Career and Life Planning

Designed for juniors and seniors, the final

phase ofThe Journey will assist members in

their career development by providing resources

and networking opportunities to prepare them

for effective career searches. And it will instill

the goal of life planning, giving seniors expo­

sure to practical, "real-world" issues such as

financial and estate planning.

Alumni mentors will be available to offer

students applicable and useful knowledge

about their career fields. Mock interviews and

resume help will be available, and a major

forum during the junior and senior years will

be regional Career Conclaves. Upperclassmen

will then serve as mentors to younger brothers

to help them prepare for life after college.

Join Us on The Journey

Journey Chapter members who have

completed the Collegiate Success Curriculum

and attended both the Sophomore Leadership

and Career Development institutes will be

designated as "Journeymen."

Journeymen will be recognized with a

badge, and the chapter having the most

Journeymen joining alumni ranks each year

will be awarded special recognition at Pi Kapp

College or Supreme Chapter. Participating

alumni also will be recognized.

The Journey represents the future of

Pi Kappa Phi, as we strive to create better men,

better chapters and the greatest Fraternity in

the nation.

..... For more information on The journey or how your chapter can become a journey Chapter, please call Frank Wrenn at (704) 523-6000.

Vision Statement Ratified by the 44th Supreme Chapter in Atlanta in Augus t 1994,

the Fraternity's Vision Statement describes where the Fratern ity is

headed. The journey is how we are going to get there.

Pi Kappa Phi will become America's leading

Fraternity-augmenting the education of America's

finest men at campuses across the nation, through

its uncompromising passion to maintain the lofty

standards which teach all members the true meaning

of brotherhood.

As our students and alumni begin this lifelong

journey of brotherhood, Pi Kappa Phi will foster the

development of scholarship, service, and values, as

well as leadership and personal development, while

providing a network of opportunity for career and

life planning.

Pi Kappa Phi will kindle alumni involvement

by providing avenues for direct interaction with

collegians as the alumni assist them in their personal

development. This interaction will give both students

and alumni a better understanding of The ] ourney

of Pi Kappa Phi.

1994-95 was a challenging year for

Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, and for me

personally, as I began a new career

as chief executive officer of your

national Fraternity. Assuming the

position that Durward Owen had served since 19 59 was no easy task

particularly given the current en­

vironment surrounding today's

educational institutions. Fortu-

nately, Durward left the cupboard

well-stocked so that we could

build on his past successes.

BY

1994-95 was a success for Pi Kappa Phi as

the Fraternity continued its upward trend in

recruitment and retention-- despite a recruit­

ment recession among all national fraternities.

Pi Kappa Phi was one of only 10 national fra-

22 THE STA R & LAMP

ternities (with 39 groups reporting) to achieve

an increase in associate members in 1994-95,

compared to 1993-94. Our chapters pledged 8%

more men than the year before.

And Pi Kappa Phi was one of 15 national

fraternities (with 48 groups reporting) which

achieved an increase in members initiated in

1994-95, compared to the previous academic

MMES

year. Your Fraternity's 127 chapters

increased that number by 3%, in-

eluding alumni initiates.

This national recruitment re­

cession is due in part to a new cam­

pus atmosphere where "political

correctness" is the watchword and

where Greek life is becoming increasingly un­

der attack. Universities and colleges nationwide

are placing greater restrictions on fraternities

and sororities. They are limiting when and how

we can recruit, imposing shorter pledge peri-

ods, and requiring higher scholarship standards

compared to other student organizations' mem­

bership requirements. Our First Amendment

rights are being trampled across the country.

Pi Kappa Phi's response to the current cam­

pus atmosphere and the needs of today's col­

lege students is The Journey (pages 14-17), a

voluntary program to help lead and develop our

student members in three critical

areas: collegiate success and service,

leadership and personal develop­

ment, and career and life planning.

just above the national av rage of 41. This places

us 14th among 48 fraternities reporting.

.... Total number of active chapters. After los­

ing nine d1apters and co lonies last y ar due to

failure to meet minimum standards or for risk

management reasons, Pi Kappa Phi dropped

from 12th place to No. 15, with 49 fraternities

reporting. The Fraternity ended 1994-95 with

127 chapters and 11 colonies.

Last year was a banner year for

expansions, with five new colonies

established at prestigious institu­

tions (sidebar, page 24), and one

new chapter chartered, San Fran­

cisco State (Eta Omicron). A signifi­

cant increase in our total number

of chapters is expected this year as

our 11 associate chapters may be

chartered.

We believe that Pi Kappa Phi

should be comprised of the best

men on campus, and that it is the

responsibility of the national orga­

nization and our individual mem­

bers to uphold our high standards.

Through The Journey, Pi Kappa Phi

will continue to rise in the ranks of

our interfraternity partners.

After 35 years of rapid growth

under Durward's watchful eye and

guiding hand, Pi Kappa Phi now

has the critical mass to consistently

rank as a top 10 national fraternity.

Pi Kappa Phi already is the leader

in educational programming, lead­

ership development, and, through

the good work of PUSH America,

In 1994-95,

Another critical component in

performance compared to other fra­

ternities is our total cost of mem-Pi Kappa Phi bership. Our membership costs for

the student member, which in­

cludes pre-initiation/initiation fees

and student dues, remain below the

interfraternity average.

keep our costs of membership as

low as possible, we recognize that measurements. service and philanthropy.

In 1994-95, your Fraternity ranked in the

top 10 in two of four critical measurements and

in the top 15 in the others:

.... Average associate member class size. We

ranked third among 39 fraternities reporting,

behind Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Phi Epsilon.

Our average class size was 23.8.

.... Average number of new initiates per chap­

ter. We averaged 18.5 initiations per chapter,

ranking sixth out of 48 fraternities reporting.

.... Average chapter size. Our average was 47,

student revenues drive a large per­

centage of our national budget (graphic, page 24 ),

which supports the cost of the programs we pro­

vide to our students, chapters and alumni.

A major theme of your Fraternity's new ad­

ministration is a renewed emphasis on alumni

relations. As a result, David Adams, Alabama

(Omicron), was hired as Director of Alumni Re­

lations, the first time a staff member's duties have

related solely to alumni relations. David's efforts,

ment Task Force, should reap dividends in the

future. The Alumni Development Task Force is

comprised of a group of alumni volunteers and

a paid consultant. During 1994-95 it conducted

a comprehensive review of the greater Fraternity's

development efforts and recommended sweep­

ing changes in the staffing and organizational

structure. Implementing their suggestions in

1995-96 will take our development efforts to the

next level and provide a synergistic fit among the

National Headquarters, PUSH America, the

Foundation and Pi Kappa Phi Properties.

Another staffing issue is our leadership con­

sultant program, which provides face-to-face

training at the chapter level. Due to budgetary

constraints, the national staff was down by one

consultant last year. However, to increase the sup­

port provided to the five consultants, each was

provided with a lap-top computer and printer.

This year we will restore the program to six full­

time traveling consultants, creating a ratio of one

consultant for every 21.2 chapters. The program

content and structure also have been retooled to

better serve our chapters.

Our objectives for 1995-96 are simple:

.... Build better Fraternity men through The

Journey,

.... Help our chapters become the best on their

respective campuses,

.... Expand Pi Kappa Phi to quality institutions

across the nation, and

.... Uphold our high standards of membership

based on our founding principles of scholarship

and values.

Working together, our students, alumni and

National Headquarters can accomplish these

objectives in the coming year.

Fraternally,

One year has passed since I was elected national president of your Fraternity, and it has been a time of growth and renewal for Pi Kappa Phi. As the national president's badge was placed over

my heart at the 44th Supreme Chapter, I knew

that the Fraternity was about to undergo many

exciting changes.

The most visible change was that the Na­

tional Council was employing a new chief ex­

ecutive officer for the first

been merely a lofty ideal and not a standard . The

journey, with its increased benefits and stan­

dards, makes the ideal chapter not only a pal ­

pable concept, but also a measurable goal.

Just as The Journey is based on guiding prin­

ciples, so will be the administration of Pi Kappa

Phi through the National Council and the pro­

fessional staff. Our guiding principles are:

.... Pi Kappa Phi is a fraternity with high stan­

dards for membership -- not a social club.

.... The students, alumni and national entities

will work together as an

alliance to help preserve

the national fraternity

movement.

time in 35 years. The 44th

Supreme Chapter also

mandated many changes,

including an invigorated

emphasis on alumni rela­

tions, and the passage of

the Vision Statement

(page 17). This statement

defines what kind of or­

ganization Pi Kappa Phi

seeks to become by 2004,

Fraternity .... We will develop a

sense of community and

pride through shared ex­

periences by increasing

the perceived value and

tangible benefits of mem­

bership in the Fraternity.

the lOOth anniversary of our founding.

The Vision Statement calls for Pi Kappa Phi

to become "America's leading Fraternity-- aug­

menting the education of America's finest men

at campuses across the nation, through its un­

compromising passion to maintain the lofty

standards which teach all members the true

meaning of brotherhood."

The National Council implements the

Supreme Chapter's directives through the pro­

fessional staff at the National Headquarters in

Charlotte, N.C. In turn, the staff coordinates the

efforts of alumni volunteers across the nation.

During this past year, Pi Kappa Phi has be­

gun a Journey to make this vision a reality. The

Journey clearly defines a vision of the ideal chap­

ter of Pi Kappa Phi by concentrating on the bet­

terment of each brother. For decades our Student

Creed has affirmed our belief in the concept of

an ideal chapter. For too long, however, this has

Pi Kappa Phi

will become

the nation's

leading fraternity

by the lOOth

anniversary of

our founding.

.... We are the "chamber

of commerce." Our job is to help our members

succeed individually and as chapters.

.... The national Fraternity exists to serve our

chapters and members. Our job is to help them

solve their problems.

.... We will treat our student members as adults

and will expect them to be accountable for their

actions.

.... We are a first-class organization. All of our

actions will reflect this.

Through these guiding principles, your Fra­

ternity will continue its rise to the next level of

greatness. Many of our programs -- especially

PUSH America, and soon The Journey-- already

are the envy of the interfraternal world. We have

a glorious past, and we are poised on the thresh ­

old of a promising future.
