by Robert B. Mintz " Programming excellence, meaningfully challenging the minds and values

of our chapter leaders." was the charge given by National President Mc­Kinley and the National Council to the Membership Development Committee in the fall of 1977. Its task was to evaluate specific officer needs and to build a solid foundation for an ongoing developmental program; specific enough to be useful to our chapters, general enough to speak to overriding issues and concerns, and flexible enough to be altered to meet regional and local con­cerns. It was particularly important to the committee to expand the resource base to include the talents of as many of our alumni as possible. The time was short and the task seemingly immense. A call for help went out to under­graduates, alumni and staff-the support was astounding!

In four short months. we launched a series of 14 regional conferences involving over 300 chapter leaders from many of our chapters. The ideas were a result of the best consensus that we could derive from our member­ship and staff.

The design was perfected through the expert guidance of Audian Dunham, a partner in the Boston-based management consulting firm of Harbridge House, Inc .. with superb packaging, graphics and production skill from former Director of Communications. Camille Cestone and the entire Execu­tive Office staff. Add to all of that the support from our Foundation and the energies and expertise of Director of Field Operations, Greg Hollen and 25 new Domain Directors and Phase I of our programming was successful history.

And what of Phase II? The bulk of our energies in this convention year will be directed to a full-day program at the Knoxville Convention. along with topi­cal issue program modules to be made available to Domain Directors to sup­plement their Domain Conferences. Work has already begun on planning the off-convention year regional programs for 1980. Our recent success has demonstrated that there is a direct relationship between the level of shared ideas from our undergraduates and alumni and the quality of our overall pro­gramming. IMPACT: Imagination. Management, Programming, Attitudes. Communication and Training ... with all of your help, the experiment will work !

Phi Kappa Tau Endorses New NIC Insurance Program

The Nat1onal Council of Phi Kappa Tau in association with the National Interfraternity Conference has endorsed a recently developed pro­gram of insurance protection for alumni and their families.

Over the years your fratern1ty has been contacted many times by In­

surance groups seeking Counc11 endorsement for various group plans. It has resisted these plans for two reasons : ( 1) We do not want to put you on a ma1ling list that would increase the volume of unsolicited ma11 you already receive and (2) few plans offered our alumni group any­thing that wouldn ' t be normally available to them from other sources. The NIC plan provided below does offer a package that may be of interest to many alumni , particularly those over 65, and the mailing was made under Phi Kappa Tau's supervision with both the NIC and Phi Kappa Tau compensated for administrative support.

The new plan will provide coverage for alumni of all ages. An excess major medical plan. wh1ch can provide up to one million dollars in benefits for alumni under age 65, is one portion of the new plan. The second portion provides protection for alumni age 65 and over with Medicare Supplement coverage. This two-part program has been re­viewed, and is being sponsored by, the National Interfraternity Con­ference, the advisory body of the general college society fraternity community in North America. The NIC currently represents over two million alumni from 48 fraternities, including Phi Kappa Tau.

The NIC Excess Major Medical and Medicare Supplement plans, named the GREEN and GOLD plans respectively, are a special alumni program underwritten by The Omaha lndemn1ty Company, an affiliate of Mutual of Omaha. Both plans provide a variety of benefits for hospital confinement and medi­cal treatments due to a covered sickness of inJury. Their importance to alumni is reflected in the extra measure of protection they can pro­vide against today's high cost for Medical treatments and services

Everyone feels the need today for added financ1al protection agamst the expenses that can result from a serious injury or illness. Hospital room and board charges alone have more than doubled in just the last eight years.

To offset hospital and medical costs which may not be covered by your policy, the NIC One Million Dol­lar GREEN PLAN will pay for 100% of all eligible expenses resulting from a covered accident or sickness. These benefits begin immediately after a deductible amount of either $15,000 or $25,000 whichever is selected, has been met by your other coverages. Then benefits are payable for as long as five years for each covered malady or until reaching the total lifetime aggregate maximum benefit of one million dol­lars.

THE GREEN PLAN covers such expenses as hospital room and board charges, intensive care con­finement, surgery and many other services frequently required during hospitalization. Coverage is also provided for a wide variety of medi­cal supplies that are necessary for the treatment of a serious disease or injury.

Under the GOLD PLAN, an in­surance protection plan is available to supplement the benefits provided by Medicare. U.S. Social Security Administration statistics indicate that Med1care covers less than two­thirds of the average total hospital and medical costs for the aged.

The NIC GOLD PLAN provides up to $25,000 In benefits to supplement both Medicare Hospital Insurance (Part A) and Medicare Medical In­surance (Part B). In additiOn, an ex­tended benefits feature provides hospital confinement coverage even after Medicare coverage stops. GOLD PLAN coverage will never become obsolete.

by Kenneth Boyle, Chapter Consultant

When travel ing for the fraternity an individual is exposed to a wide range of experiences. As a consult­ant. you also become aware of the similarities both positive and nega­tive, that all chapters share. The most prevalent misunderstanding in respect to the National Fraternity's operations are a direct lack of an effecitve communication exchange. Questions that I'm frequently asked such as. ·•were you ever a Phi Tau ?" or " ... you must have a great boss that lets you spend th is much time playing fraternity," and of course ''we wrote to National in Oxford the other day ... " are comical indeed, however very revealing.

In approaching that problem I will share my experiences on the road with all and make a stride for im­proved communications. Discretion is needed. for some episodes are a little more private than others. Fringe benefits if you will. complete­ly outside the job description. cer­tainly not a coverup.

The University of Southern Illi­nois at Carbondale was my baptism on the road. One small motel room with 25¢ vibrating beds and three consultants stepping over each other's suitcases made for an inter­esting introduction. Terrific women from Alpha Gamma Delta assisting our cause combined with a positive administration. new men, and alum­ni support gave us all a sense of ac­complishment.

Oklahoma City, home of President Mac McKinley and Vice President Tom Cunningham, was next on the itinerary. There we prepared our minds and attitudes for consulting. Hitting the road found Mark, Greg and myself on a plane with a wom­en's underwear salesman violently ill in the row behind us. Pleasant i ndeed . Kansas State, Alpha Epsilon int rod uced me to such

terms as Aggievllle, Farming, Dip. and " Hollywood" Harold. These are a good group of men looking for fra­ternity direction and we were able to work well together.

Next stop was the University of Colorado, Psi Chapter. Once C.U. had thoroughly trounced Oregon we returned to the chapter, a beautiful stone home, pressed back toward the powerful Rocky Mountains. Friendly, enthusiastic members. first night on a waterbed. and hair­raising tales of its traditional Wild Viking party, made my visit at Ps1.

Moscow, the University of Idaho, Beta Gamma is situated in the heart of the " Palouse." If you are as famil­iar with the term as I was I'll explain. Miles upon miles of roll ing hills of wheat as far as you can see. Obviously, a bit of an education for someone raised in New York. The chapter with an associate class of almost double the existing member­ship, proved to me that a chapter can turn i tse l f around. Quick lessons in what in the world " Dry versus Wet" farm ing was. how to buy hunting rifles, a definition of spud butt and hasta luega.

Recruitment week at Washington State was both entertaining and ed­ucational. If a particular Individual is not exactly what would be con­sidered Phi Tau material. people begin to pass the word that the " phone is ringing." I, of course. would be somewhat dazzled by the lack of the familiar ringing sound, yet quickly the association clicked After a little while I was hearing St. Patrick's Cathedral's ch1mes loud and clear as gobblers would appear complete with Coke bottle glasses and calf-length pants.

Oregon State was an adventure in itself, having to fly world renown Air Oregon, a six-seater Cessna. The chapter needed some work and Mark Gregg and I arrived at the beginning of recruitment week. We enjoyed ourselves and got some pleasing results. The week was highlighted by an East Coast-West

Coast- Rushee Active football game. I don't think I need to tell you who won. Another 6 a.m. Air Oregon flight and off to California State University at Sacramento.

The odds against the chapter at Gamma Iota, a commuter school. small residential home, and the likes of " Moses." do not get these men down. The best group of associates 1n years brought a whole new surge of momentum to the chapter . Obviously evident through hoisting flaming shots of Chartreus, which my mustache excused me from hav­ing to participate in. Apparently in good health, we wailed "fun-loving" songs that mama never taught us. The Giants won and San Francisco lost and I happily was enroute to Beta Omega.

California State University at Chico is known to be one of the big­gest party schools in the country. Fear not, our boys are not a hope­less group of neo-Belusch i derelicts. A super group of Phi Taus with a great deal of pride and prestige carry on at Chico. Lovely women as little sisters and Frontier Week make this a chapter worthy of any man's visit.

The University of Southern Cali­fornia, Pi Chapter in keeping with the school's tradition, is just a bit different than most chapters. Perhaps a house dog or cat is just a shade too common for Pi. Instead an exotic Cockatiel dubbed " Rocky" roved about. finding particular inter­est in my Lazana. One of the most highly organized chapters, Pi should really begin to move into a promi­nent role on campus with its new member strength.

California State University at long Beach was a brief stop-over for me. Long enough, however, to witness the members entertain the entire clientele at Pizza Hut with their gong show act " Frying Bacon." Relax. not a hazing incident, but imaginative and hysterical all the same.

Santa Fe, New Mexico is a beauti­ful town sprinkled with adobe homes and jagged mountains. Our Delta Mu chapter at College of Santa Fe has the distinction of being the only one in the country with ghosts and an exorcism per­formed at the school in 1973. Bizarre, and believe me, it has been documented and nearly scared one consultant out of business.

The chips are against the group here with no chapter house and a poor Greek attitude projected from the Administration . This again is one of those inspirational visits where

the members are determined and really care regardless of the factors opposing their success.

The Universi t y of Texas at El Paso has two Phi Tau distinctions. First. it's the only house with a built­'" pool and secondly, it is the closest to the Mexican border town of Juarez. A fun -loving group who are in a progressive stage with the reformulation of a Board of Gover­nors.

The biggest del ight of my travels was what we are calling the Miracle of " Pan American." Summer- time head count was One, and that young man, Samuel Saldivar recruited 20 top quality individuals. I had the privi lege to associate the group through ritual. Twenty of the most dedicated fraternity men I have met! Combine that with the opportunity to dance with and enjoy the company of Miss Pan Am, a day in Reynosa. Mexico and you know I had a good time.

That about brings me up to date and anxious to collect more experi­ences to share with you. To quote Mr. Jesse Collin Young in what we dubbed the consultant's song, " We came in your town it was only Mon­day night, bound to play our music and set wrong impressions right, we came to deliver and show you that we care ... " Ciao.

by Thomas D. Cross Chapter Consultant

The role of a chapter consultant is one which demands a variety of talents and disciplines. It may be the most demanding yet rewarding task that I have encountered since the beginning of my college career.

My experiences as an under­graduate at Beta Omciron (Mary­land) have certainly helped me deal with many of the day-to-day prob­lems associated with the job of chapter consultant. The ability to get along with people and communi­cate effectively 1s definitely some­thing that my fraternity experience is responsible for. Being exposed to a multitude of situations. the con­sultant should be able to take spe­cific problems and apply solutions and concepts which have been suc­cessful in similar instances and under similar circumstances. Each consultant goes through an tnten­sive training program which is con­cerned with pertinent management practices that aid in dealing with chapter problems. More specifically

this training deals with concepts like leadership dynam1cs. situa­tional leadership, decis1on mak1ng. time management and others

In the period of time that I have been a chapter consultant. my ex­periences have ranged from helping reestablish chapters to improving existing ones. I have had the oppor­tunity to meet Phi Tau brothers all over the country and exchange ideas and experiences. Some very good friendships have been made that wouldn 't have been possible without my association as a chapter consultant.

Just as each college and univer­sity across the country is un1que. so are the experiences associated with a consultant's visits to chapters. Every chapter has its own particular personalities. problems and circum­stances. Each chapter is as diverse in composition and attitude as the people that make it up, and herein lies the challenge to the consultant.

My travels since August have taken me through 22 Phi Tau chap­ters from all over the mid-west to the East Coast and Southern states.

Some of my travel experiences: Louisville . . . great recruitment

results ... Rensse laer ... a memorable trip to Schenectady .. . Franklin and Marshall ... a " beer pong" game . . . Muhlenberg .. . soccer vs. F&M ... Cornell ... a panorama of fall beauty ... Dela­ware . . . the tragic death of the chapter treasurer . . . Spnng Hill ... top on campus ... Southern Mississtppt ... great spirit and an incredible 44 new associates ... Georgia ... tops in the Homecom­ing float competition.

I'm looking forward to much more!

Director of Field Operations

Fall , 1978 has been an extreme­ly productive one for this staff member

Following the orientation of our two newest chapter consultants. Thomas Cross and Mark Gregg, in Oklahoma City in mid-August, I met with National President Mac Mc­Kinley and Vice President Tom Cun­ningham and developed the overall consulting schedule for our four men. Our goal was to vis1t each one of the cntical assistance chapters within the ftrst month of classes. to continue the development of the Domain Director program with visits to their areas. and to embark on a

..!.. • The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau 13

selective expansion visitation pro­gram to lay the ground work for future chapter colonization.

I consider two items to be high­lights for the fall so far. First, there appears to be a real growth in mem­bership among almost all the chap­ters I have visited this fall, many of which are on campuses where the overall Greek system did not record similar gains.

Second, the number of alumni who have approached me during my travels to volunteer to serve as domain directors. Board of Gover­nors members, or simply to help out wherever they can. has risen re­markably since last year.

This latter development has given rise to a number of stronger chapter organizations as well as some new resource personnel for our expan­sion efforts.

Of particular interest has been the involvement of alumni in the State of Texas where we are currently colonizing at the University of Tex­as-Austin. Not only have over 75 persons indicated support for the program, but they represent over 29 chapters and have surfaced six other expansion sites in the state!

The involvement of alumni in the formation and development of area alumni associat ions has been similarly remarkable. The Executive Officers staff daily answers queries about nearby groups and interested organizers.

Our graduate fellowship program is off the ground, and this spring will see Chapter Consultant Mark Gregg assume the role of student once again, this time on the expansion campus of the University of Wash­ington. Plans are in the works for students to attend Colorado State, Michigan, Texas and hopefully the University of Kansas at this writing.

The Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity has made quite a name for itself in the recent year with our innovative Membership Orientation program. and some recent additions of ad­ministration and alumni support have given many chapters addi­tional ties and strengths within the academic community. These pro­gramming advancements have given us the nod on several cam­puses where we wish to return or begin initial contact, often over larger fraternities vying for the same position.

We feel we have the best trained, mostly highly motivated chapter consultant staff in the fraternity community, and efforts of the staff, with the renewed Domain Director program indicate that we are right!

The Miracle

at

Delta Omicron

Pan American University

If a football coach was faced with a fourth down and long yardage situation with most of his star play­ers sidelined and no substitutes, he would almost definitely punt. However, at Pan American Univer­sity, one particular young self­starter by the name of Samuel Saldivar opted for a quarterback­sneak and made it.

The beginning of the fall semester the Delta Omicron chapter was down to one man: Mr. Saldivar. Sam was the student body president-a highly motivated individual-and decided to resign from his position and spearhead the rebuilding of the chapter.

With the support of Darrell Troxel , Director of Fraternity Affairs, and Tony Vela, Director of Student Union, Samuel headed up a one­man recruitment program to beat the band. Within the period of time from September until the middle of October Delta Omicron suddenly had 20 associate members and found itself in a first and goal situa­tion.

The membership consisted of a series of campus leaders. The at­torney general. a photographer for the Edinburg paper, many members of the powerful service fraternities, and significant committee member­ship dealing with salient issues at the university. The members have pledged their dedication to this newly reorganized fraternity with the same enthusiasm that they have put into their other endeavors.

The group has risen from obscurity to the absolute toptc of campus discussion. The Pht Taus have been asked by the University to host an International Benefit for handicapped children which will in­clude dignitaries from the United States, Mexico and Latin America.

I had the good fortune to spend a healthy 5 days with the men. The treatment that I received. escorted trips to Reynosa, introduced to ntght club action (Pan American style). flattered and impressed me. The men carry themselves with both dig­nity and pride and as true Phi Taus.

I think that it is really an awaken­ing experience to any fraternity man to witness the birth of the spirit of brotherhood. A newly organized group such as the men of Pan Amer­ican, Delta Omicron. most closely resembles what one would imagine was experienced at Miami Univer­sity in 1906. Every day the energy grows. Every small increment of success is viewed as a major cause for celebration-truly a group that can serve as a source of pride throughout our National Fraternity system. Pan American University, Delta Omicron Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau serves as a major inspiration to all of us. A toast to the success. as they say In Edinburg " Arriba, Abajo. Par Centro, Par Dentro." We all wish them good luck and success, I'm sure.

Anybody ever ask you, "What good do fraternities do?" You can tell them, from the reports in the last volume year of The Laurel alone, our chapters re­ported raising $14,500 for charities or philanthropies. Not to mention all the orphans, senior citizens, patients in hospitals, needy families or handicapped people fraternity men have sung to, collected food for. or helped in a multitude of other ways. Keep up the tremendous work!

LOUISVILLE- The Beta Beta house took on a new look this fall as we replaced all of our old frontroom furniture and carpeting with the help of our alumni. The membership took on a new look also since 20 seniors graduated this past spring. Recruitment chairman Don Mcintosh did a great job in recruitment over the summer months and Beta Beta now sports a 23-man associate member class.

Bill Landsittel, president of the U. of L. IFC, sponsored a Muscular Dystrophy Carnival at one of the local malls in September and helped to raise over $250 for MD.

In intramural sports the Phi Taus again showed we are # One by winning the All-Campus Sports Trophy by a record margin-our tenth in the past twelve years.

Academically, too. the Phi Taus reigned, holding the highest GPA of any fraternity on campus.

Five of last spring's senior class made their respective ways to bigger and better things academically with Steve Bale and Shideler Award Runner-up Miles Snowden in U. of L.'s School of Medicine and Stuart Moore, Phil Henderlight and David Smith in its School of Dentistry.

MARYLAND -Beta Omicron started off this fall with a busy schedule. As of Sept. 17 the chapter has associated 16 new men. With the implementation of our new rolling recruitment and membership development programs we plan to associate at least 14 more men before the end of fall.

So far. things have really been clicking this semester for the chapter. Some of the reasons for our success must be our continued involvement over the summer. During the summer the chapter

was never idle. Executive Council meetings we held bi-weekly. We had four recruitment events of our own, and were very involved in the IFC and Panhel orientation programs for incoming freshmen. November. 1978 marks a very special time for Beta Omicron. It was only five short years ago that the chapter was reborn here at Maryland. We are proud to say this fifth year has been our most productive in almost every area of our programming.

In true Phi Tau form we hosted a block party Sept. 7 marking the beginning of our fifth year back on campus. It featured frozen strawberry daquiris on tap from our very own frozen drink machine. Over 2,000 people attended the celebration, including members of the city council. student leaders from every student organization, and top level university administrators. Currently the brothers are working with the Sigma Delta Tau sorority and the Jewish Student Union on an Ice Cream Eat-a-Thon for charity.

Homecoming was Oct. 7 with a theme of " The University of Maryland: A Distinguished Past and A Dynamic Future."

In addition to our various social and athletic activities this year, we are planning a speakers series for the chapter. It will involve university administration, United States Congressmen. city officials and various other resource people in the campus community. We hope to integrate the speakers into our continuing Membership Development program.

TENNESSEE-Delta Kappa got fall quarter off to a good start with a full week of recruitment functions. In an all-out drive to get associates. we found ourselves putting more effort into the growth process than ever before. Recruitment parties in­cluded several keg parties. Big Orange party (with unusually strong oranges!) , and a hairy buffalo party which brought the week to an excit­ing close.

The possibility of a 50% increase in chapter size is very real. Starting with a core of 15 members, we look forward to having about 25-30 members by the time Convention '79 rolls around here at Tennessee.

YOUNGSTOWN- This summer has been an active one for Gamma Pi. Every other week we opened the doors of our house to prospective members from the area. As a result, many of our incoming freshmen have had the chance to become familiar with the local brotherhood.

Once agam the first weekend in August our alumni held the annual Alumni Weekend. Activities for the reunion included a stag and spaghetti dinner on Friday, a pool party on Saturday, and the annual picnic on Sunday.

On a final note, the men of Gamma P1 hosted a leadership development seminar on the Sept. 16 weekend. An effective recruitment tool , the weekend provided a chance for incoming freshmen to meet and interact with many of the people who will shape their educat1on at Youngstown State.
