To Our 'Share­owners'

By William D. Jenkins Executive Director

People. Phi Kappa Tau is people . Not a

profound thought, yet undeniably fact. If our " annual report" has a foca l point, it has to be in the suc­cesses, fru trations, failure , and ac­complishments of our commone t of denominators. Alex judy i part of all thi s. Who's Alex Judy? He' the In­dian boy whose letter appears on our cover. He thanked a Phi Tau chapter for its interest and support. Publi c relations gimmick? Ab o-1 utely not. Rather, it's a re flection of what i urfacing within the Ameri­can College Fraternity System.

Chapters are increa ingly turning their energies toward the important busines of people helping people _ .. caring, commu nica ting, assist­ing, lovi ng. Some ay the no talgia craze is respon ible for the " rebirth " of college fraternities . Maybe to a degree.

But nostalgia hasn' t been respon­sible for that concern for people which we see gai ning momentum within our chapters. ostalgia cer­tainly isn ' t responsible for the love and affection given to A lex judy. And it's not responsible for the hon­ors one of our chapters recently be­stowed on local citizens whose ef­forts may save the life of a badly burned boy.

So what's happening? Who or what is responsible? The calming­down of the campus cauldrons of the past is having a marked influ­ence. The job market gets its fai r sha re of the thanks ... or blame (the latter, if you're looking for a job). It' s a relatively new ballgame. The busi­ness of people is simply taking over and becoming a more integral seg­ment of chapter concerns. It's also fact that the typical fraternity chapter of 1974, smaller in size than its 1954 counterpart, probably has a higher sophistication level than ever be­fore. Programming is more attuned to the individuals in it. Chapters are finding a new dimension in their ex­istence. They are finding the cha l­lenge of people is paramount, and the desire to accompli sh positive re­sults is very visib le. The rewards? Immeasurable!

In large measure, the people­business thing may be a key to what has been for Phi Kappa Tau a reasonably successful year. Not overwhelming ly so, but successful just the same.

For the third consecutive year, chapters recruited and initiated more men than they had the year before. Expansion efforts proved positive as three new co lonies were added at Wright State Univers ity in Dayton, Ohio; Cleveland State Uni-

versity in Cleve land, Ohio ; and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Nebraska. Chapter Consultants (field sec retaries to most of us) made a total of 161 campus visi ts. All mem­bers of the t xecutive Offices staff (Central Offi ce to most of us) made 208 visits. The National Council , having met three times since our last Laurel an nual report issue, has made some important sweeping changes in virtually every pha se of operat ion. This was accomplished wi th the Council facing the challenges of in­flation , rising operational costs, and the consideration of the proper di­rection for our organization in the years ahead.

The Fraternity's 1974 Develop-

ment Fund campaign was placed on a calendar year basis (rather than fiscal year) . We really won' t know till New Year' s Day if this format proves more successfu l or not, but we already know the average gift of $14.14 fro m our alumni this year is higher than the 1973 donor average.

Our staff continues a policy of rat­ing our chapters - for administra­tive and visitat ion purposes - and we ll over half are in an " excellent," "so lid ," or " improving" catego ry . Chapter com munications to alum ni continued at a significant level , and a total of 67 " known" chapters sent mai l ings to their alumni (" known" because we handled the publication and distribution work through our offices or because the chapte rs

The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau 1

made us aware of their own efforts) . A total of 51 chapters and three col­onies used our publicat ion service and during the yea r, 56,368 copies of newsletters, flyers, and other ma­teria l we re pri nted and/or mai led from our offices. These figures do not inc lude a reco rd number of copi es of Th e Laure l (14 1 ,650) w hich were mailed du ring the fiscal year just completed.

Ph i Kappa Tau cont inues to be recogni zed as a front-runner in its mi ss ion to up-grade programming designed to orient a new man for his role as a member. " Pl edges" are as­soc iate members, and the vehic le fo r equipping these men for pos itive and important contri butions to their chapters is " membership orienta­tion," formerly pledge education or pledge training. The Fraternity is genuinely concerned that our chap­ters deve lop outstanding members, not outstanding pledges. A new M embership Reference Ma nual , contemporary in every detail, pro­vides the bac kground inform ation for the new rec ruit. Thi s publ ication is we ll ahead of its time, an impor­tant reflec tion of the imagination and creati vity of the Executive O f­fices sta ff personnel.

Fraternity finances, typica ll y sen­siti ve, were bolstered somew hat thi s yea r by increased membership rev­enues and the fact nine chapters re­duced their loan balances by almost $7,000.

But there are problems w ith prog­ress . Blips on the sc reen. Situations over which we t:l ave control in some instances, no contro l w hatsoever in other instances.

We ment ioned over ha lf our chap­ters are in good shape. This does not necessaril y imply the other half is fa lling apart, but it does mean there's work that must be done. Thirty-three chapters are going to get max imum attent ion thi fa ll , primar­ily be ause their operational po ture is dec lining toward an unsati fac tory

leve l. Sadl y, even of tho e have super-serious prob lem w hich actu­all y threaten thei r continued exi t­ence . But the sadde t fact of all is that each of those chapters, w ith one exception, has no alumn i support what oever to induce pos it ive direc­tion and momentum.

Proba bl y our mo t ignificant fai l­ure in the pa t yea r ha been within our Regional D irector program, a spin-off of the domain program of yea rs gone by. The recruitment of alum ni to se rve a vo lunteer re­gional officer ha always been an up-hill ba ttl e; it became alma t im-

possible in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and yo u really cou ldn ' t blame alumni fo r not wanting to venture into the jaws of chaos on the college campus. And the cost of funding the program became pro­hibitive; the money si mply wa not available . A broad-bru h regional

program evolved but really didn' t get off the ground because we couldn ' t come to grips with what role the e men were to take. Fiscal concern added to the dilemma and dulled the momentum of making decisions.

In spite of the fact Phi Kappa Tau

is a " non-profit" organization, it re­quires " profit" dollars to operate, to provide services to chapters and alumni who require and deserve them . It's a fact Phi Kappa Tau hasn't operated in a " profit" posture for several years. This appreciably in­fluences the capaci ty of our staff to provide services. I personally be­lieve the serve commitment is the reason I have my job.

Why aren't we in a better position financia ll y? Loans, mostly . Loans have been made by the National Fraternity in good taith, but some of the faith has been breached in the pay-back procedure. And if the status of the cash loans wasn ' t enough of a problem, conside r the fact the Nation al Fraternity has guarantees amounting to more than $1 00,000 at this time. Guess who gets stuck with the tab if default oc­curs?

The Fraternity's fisca l posture has also been somewhat bent as a result of owning chapter houses, not by design but by circumstance. Pres­ent ly, we hold title to four chapter houses, and the cash flow problems connected with the responsibilities of ownership have been staggering, a constant drain on the dollars avail­able to maintain the service com­mitment.

So, what's in store for us in 197 4-7 5? If you've read this far, maybe you ' ll wa nt to note our pro­jections and I'd like to share them w ith you.

The current positive trend on the nation's campuses toward fraternity membership should continue. We anticipate increased numbers of men indicating an interest in pursu­ing affiliation . We hopefully antici­pate our chapte rs wi II recruit sensi­bly, but with conce rted effort. And positive recruitment should have a marked influence on those seven or eight chapters which presently re­flect a seriou sly deteriorated cond i-

tion . Toward those chapters we sha ll focus maximum staff attention.

My personal goal is to move ahead with a program of vo lunteer alumni officers, a corps of men to ass ist our chapters with va riou as­pects of programmi ng. The Frater­nity has failed miserably in recent years in involving its alumni force in the on-going mi sion of Ph i Kappa Tau . I don' t intend for thi s failure to continue. But the " how" of creating a viable, contemporary program continues to elude us. Even the a­tiona ! Coun il , meeting thi pa t july, was unable to re olve the di-

lemma and tossed the problem back into the lap of the executive director. It would be my hope, by the time the 42nd ational · Convention rolls around in the summer of 1975, a co rps of vo lunteer alumni officers will be visible, productive and in­va l ed .

It i impossible to con ider the fu­ture without also tempering the game-p lan with fiscal concerns . Phi Kappa Tau's i a erious ca h-flow dilemma, brought on largely by itu­ation s mentioned abo e. Some

hapters are slow to pa their ac­count (we could hire two addi tional chapter con ultant for a ear with

the money cu rrently outstanding from chapters). Some hou e corpo­rations are equally slow in their commitments to reduce loan in­debtedness (two chapters presently represent 40% of the total loan in­debtedness to the ational Frater­nity). Unfortunately, and until the ituation can improve, we' ll simply

have to pull in our horns, eriou I eva luating tho e er ice to chapter and alumni which might need urger in term of dollar output.

But the coming ear hould al o reflect important con ideration re­lating to the direction and ontent of The Laurel, hapter er i e and

publications, officer and committee chairman conferences, regional and district meetings, the National Con­ven ti on program , undergraduate and alumni involvement in the total scope of Phi Kappa Tau, improved commu nication and programming w ith the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation, personnel add itions to the Executive Offices staff, and trying to do a bet­ter -than -adequate job providing services within the framework of budgetary demands.

Most of all in the coming year we' ll be concerned with the busi­ness of people. Ph i Kappa Tau is people. Not a profound thought, yet undeniably fact.

The great purpose and ideal of fraternities is fraternity. This ideal , made up of many separate intangibles, is still intangible when its separate elements are combined. It cannot be analyzed and evaluated in mathematical terms and can be appraised only in comparative terms and in terms of personal experience.

New Chapter Consultants Named To Staff Traveling from coast to coast to

ass ist Phi Kappa Tau 's co llegiate chapters and colonies will soon be­come seco nd nature to the Fraternity's two newest staff mem­bers, john T. Kinsey, 22, and Jeffrey L. Ri vard, 29. The two will serve as Chapter Consultants (fie ld sec­retaries) and will go from chapter to chapter he I ping in the areas of fi­nance, membership recruitment, new member orientation, housing, and other aspects of fraternity man­agement and operation .

John is a 1974 graduate of the University of Florida and rece ived his Bachelor of Science degree in business administration . While a member of Alpha Eta chapter, the Fort Lauderdale native was corre­sponding secretary, membership re­cruitment chairman, soc ial chair­man, a member of the chapter's Board of Governors for two yea rs, and a delegate to the 1972 National Convention held in Miami. Addi­tionally, he is a member of Omicron Delta Kappa, a men's leadership honorary fraternity.

Jeff gained a Bachelor of Science degree in education in 1966 from Central Michigan University, where

He then taught En­glish and math at the high scnool level fo r four years before returning to school to ea rn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio-TV from Michigan State in 1972. The West Branch, Michiga n resident went back to his alma mater and earned a Master of Arts degree in broadcasting from Central Michigan j ust prior to be­gi nning hi work with the Fraternity.

Jeff is a charter member of Gamma Lambda and has served the chapter as sec retary, membership orienta­tion officer, and as an intramura l sports participant and coach .

The addition of Kinsey and Rivard bring the number of Executive-Of­fices taff member to four. The others are Executive Director Wil­l iam D . jenkins and Director of Programming john F. Mankopf.

port for the Fraternity' Educational Program magnifies the neces ity for attaining the $500,000 goal at the earlie t po ible time.

While alumni con tributions to the Development Fund support the Ex­ecutive Office in its expan ion of the Fraternity, the Foundation i po­tentially a financial anchor for the national organization .

" It i very obvious the Fraternity is going to need more help during the coming year and we must fi nd ways to upply it," aid E ing Bole , Chairman, and Ra Bichimer, Pre -ident of the Foundation .

" Probabl we wi ll need to at lea t double the amount of upport , e gi e the Fraternit , oriented tm ard edu ational purpo e . Th wil l, of our e, b u ed Frat rnit to th

The truste.es set their goal of $500,000 in 1964. Donations have been disappointing, particularly in the 1973-74 campaign when a total of $17,460 came from 233 alumni . That compares with $21,469 from 323 donors in the previous year.

During the past year the Founda­tion continued to sponsor the IM­PACT leadership workshop program for undergraduate Phi Kappa Tau of­ficers, one of the ational Fra­ternity's most important activities .
