THE 1981 CHALLENGE by Fr. Nicholas Rachford National Chaplain
Fr. Nick discusses the underlying purposes of Phi Kappa Tau 's existence
Fr. Rachford
As the National Convention in our 75th year approaches, my thoughts turn to the reasons why our Fraternity has lasted this long and why it should continue to exist. I think our identity must take its cue from the nature of our organization. It is a college fraternity, and by that fact an organization focusing on the campuses of academic institutions. We must therefore assume an integral relationship between the two. It
FEATURE
is a disappointment to many that college educat ion is so pragmatically oriented. A student goes through four years of superficial and systematic memorizing and prompt forgett ing of assorted facts in order to get a degree in order to get a job. Now no one can deny the importance of secure employment, but an education should be more than a steppingstone to other things. Since we are a ''Greek" organization, let us look to the ancient Greeks for our example in the education process. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and the other Greek philosophers (lovers of wisdom) had as their whole goal the acquiring of knowledge in order to pursue truth . The combinat ion would eventually lead one to true wisdom, which was the ability to lead a happy and effective life. The path of knowledge and truth was one of learn ing for its own sake- for the sheer joy of penetrating the secrets of the universe and the ultimate meaningfulness of life. Young men would place themselves under the tutelage of the Masters in order to learn from them. They gladly supported their teachers for the privilege of sitting at their feet and having their minds opened to the beautiful, the true and the good. It is certainly a far cry from our materialistically oriented acquisition of a potpourri of facts which contribute neither to the truth, nor to the good, nor to the beautiful, but only to the stultification of all that could be noble. The cha llenge to each student is to transcend the banile and once more search for knowledge and truth in the spirit of the ancient Greeks.
The second aspect of our Fraternity is the obvious one of fellowship. Again , our contemporary world seems much more interested in the superfic ial cultivation of business contacts rather than the fostering of deep interpersonal relationships in the true spirit of fellowship. Such relationships are demanding and always leave us open to pain and rejection. They are also the only way that we can grow into beings fully alive and aware, l iving and loving.
One of the finest examples of this type of relationship is contained in the parable of the Good Samaritan found in the Gospel according to Luke (chapter 10). The priest and the levite in the story were legally correct in avoiding the injured man on the road since he might have been dead. Contact with a corpse would render them ritually unclean and therefore unable to participate in the public worship at the temple. Perhaps they are a bit too concerned with their security and status. The Samar itan, however, took no concern for himself. Rather, moved to compassion, he not only tended to the needs of the afflicted man, he even went far beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. His love was full , spontaneous and generous. He is moved by compassion because he is a man both generous and caring, who feels he must be his brother's keeper. Th is is a perfect exemplar for our love and fellowship. We, too, must be our brothers' keepers.
It is. then, these three notions: the thirst for knowledge ; the search for truth, as well as the living in the fullest and richest depths of fellowship that provide the challenge to all of us, whether in school or graduated, during this 75th year and the coming ones. By these principles our Fraternity will remain strong, and our Star will continue shining brightly.

ELEVEN TOUGHEST INTERVIEW QUESTIONS by Bruce E. Moses
In keeping with the development of Phi Tau's Career Development Program and a desire on the editor's part to provide articles which will be of specific value to our alumni and graduating seniors, the following article on interview questions is included.
As the food commercial jingle on TV suggests ... "Anticipation ... "
The job hunter must anticipate and be prepared for the so-called "curve" questions which no doubt will be thrown out during the interview. Everyone is vulnerable to "loaded" or "curve" questions. This is especially true if there is a "red flag" on your resume to call attention to a particularly delicate subject. But not everyone is vulnerable to the same questions in the same way because we all bring different strengths and weaknesses to an interview.
Following is my selection of the 11 toughest questions which are asked during the interview . . . and how to answer them. It is based on composite feedback received from candidates I have recruited as well as corporate clients I have served durIng 15 years as an executive recruiter.
1. Several jobs in a short period of time. The best defense is an offense. As long as the " Dates Employed" are glaring at the interviewer from the resume, you should
4 The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau
FEATURE
explain why you had so many jobs before the question is even raised
For instance, suppose you were fired for incompetence after just one year on a particular job. Depending on how long ago it was, you might indicate that. " Although the job did not work out, I gained quite a bit from it because ... " and then proceed to tel l why. You might also list some of your accomplishments, even though you were there only a short time. You might have taken some additional courses to help Improve your background-so that you will be better prepared the next time around. Use empathy and make sure you are coming across in a sincere and positive manner. For all you know, the same thing may have happened to the interviewer at one time. Avoid transparent excusescandor is refreshing!
2. Weak formal education. Turn the liability into an asset. Explain what responsibilities you had when you were young, and how you have studied on your own. If it is true, you might explain that no matter where you were employed, you were usually the only non-college graduate at your job level. If there is a possibility of night school, tell that to the interviewer, too.
3. What are your long-range goals? This question seems to baffle a lot of people. Whatever you say, avoid indicating that "What I really want is a business of my own" ... even if you do! You certainly will not encourage an employer by indicating you will give the company the privilege of training you for a couple of years, but then plan on going out on your own to compete with them. You may even change your mind once you begin to work for the company. Frequently, I will hear from an employee who has spent twenty or more years with his company who says, ''When I first joined my employer more than twenty years ago, I had absolutely no intention of staying more than just a couple of years-just for the experience."
Answer the "long-range goa l" question as you really believe ... outside of "leaving the company." If
you feel that someday you could become president of the company, then tell the intervtewer so. Also, offer reasons that support your ambitious plans. Maybe you plan on obtaining your MBA, or some other positive accomplishment to help you meet your goals.
4. What is your greatest weak · ness? Nobody is perfect When answering this question, you had better use empathy. The wrong answer could instantly disqualify you for the job.
I will never forget the candidate I once recruited for the position of corporate comptroller who told the president of the company that. "My greatest weakness is detail. I hate detail work! " Needless to say, that particular candidate was not hired. The irony of it all was that he had been a successful comptroller for almost fifteen years. Be honest, but try to think of a " greatest single weakness" which will not immediately eliminate you from any further consideration for the job.
5. Physical handicap or health problem. Not everyone is blessed with perfect health or appearance. If you have an obvious physical handicap or health problem, it is usually best to discuss it openly with the interviewer. provided it will not automatically disqualify you. Be honest with both the interviewer and yourself.
I once recommended a candidate who was confined to a wheelchair because of a childhood accident. He explained very positively that his handicap was really not a hindrance but a mere inconvenience. His attitude was marvelous. This man very candidly admitted that because of his handicap he always tried a little harder to overcome it ... and most certainly did.
6. Recently divorced. This is a common subject which, when discussed with applicants, frequently causes discomfort-especially if there are children involved. Some companies will not hire a recent divorcee until after the so-called "adjustment period" (whatever that
(Continued on page 5)
(Continued from page 4)
is) is completed. Some people never completely adjust to divorce, while others were never completely adjusted to marriage-and therefore become much better immediately after the divorce.
The trepidation employers sometimes have about the recently divorced is that any new job requires total concentration and commitment. If a new employee has to tackle, simultaneously, the adjustment to a new job plus putting life back together after a recent divorce, then the pressures may be too great.
When the subject comes up in an interview, it is best to be candid about it. If the divorce is fairly recent, try to explain to the interviewer that because your marital problems are now over, you are prepared to give 11 0% to the job. Be positive!
7. Recently retired military off icers. The typical "curve" question which may be thrown at a recently retired military officer: "Do you think you may have difficulty adapting to civilian life?" Your response could be: "The responsibility and exposure that I received in the military are directly applicable for the following reasons ... " then proceed to explain those reasons. Try to draw analogies between what you accomplished in the military and what you perceive the job requiring.
If the interviewer brings up the fact that you are earning a handsome retirement salary and therefore should not require too much money . . . you might indicate politely, but firmly, " My pension pay should have no bearing on the salary the employer has set for the job opening. I will contribute as much to the company as someone who is not on a pension, and therefore should be compensated appropriately."
You want to convince the interviewer that your military experience is an asset in fulfilling the requirements of the job. Use civilian terminology which you know will be positive. You want the interviewer to think of you as a "business executive" rather than a "retired officer
looking for a way to spend his free time."
8. Why should the company hire you? This is one of the most frequently asked questions, yet most job hunters fail to take advantage of it. Prepare for this question prior to your interview and be ready to answer it with enthusiasm and in a manner of controlled confidence. Summarize your experience and accomplishments in a concise positive statement as to why you are the best qualified candidate for the job. Do not bore the interviewer with a long dissertation, but be sure to convey the benefits the company will receive by hiring you.
9. Why are you leaving your present position ? The job may be dull, the boss a boor, and the pay low ... however, you want to avoid the negative cliches and use more positive reasons. You might be seeking g reater advancement
" . . . Successful interviews do not happen by chance."
opportunities where you could take on added responsibilities and earn more money. Your prospects for career development could be limited because of a lack of promotional opportunities. You do not want to appear as a job-hopper who is just running away from another problem. Use reasons which the interviewer can relate to and identify with.
10. Age-Too young or too old? If you are young, you want to come across as mature and level-headed. You want to illustrate that you have already handled business situations and possess the experience and good judgment to do an excellent job. Cite some examples of your success.
If your are "middle aged" or older (and I am not sure I know what " middle aged" is), you want to appear full of vim and vitality. Talk about your most recent accomplishments and the future goals you have set for yourself. Substantiate to the inter-
viewer that your most recent years have been most productive. Highlight your most recent achievements.
11 . Unemplo yed executive. If you are unemployed and there is no way you can cover yourself with your prior employer-like remaining on the payroll-then just indicate that you are unemployed . . . but have several offers pending.
It just does not pay to try and cover yourself with the " I am presently doing consulting " routine, unless you really are. Any astute interviewer will see right through your facade, and you will only further weaken your position.
One approach you may consider is that you found it difficult taking time off from work to explore other opportunities. You felt that as long as your prior employer was paying you, you owed him a fair day's work. So rather than lie or make excuses for taking time off. you elected to pursue your job campaign on a fulltime basis.
The above subjects and questions are the 11 toughest, but there are many more which could be just as important, depending on your circumstances. Do not be caught by surprise. Make a list of every conceivable question an interviewer might ask. You will be amazed at what you come up with. Remember, these same questions could be thrown at you!
Successful interviews do not happen by chance. Everyone has the desire to do well in an interview, but the job hunter who will ultimately receive the offer is the one who has the greatest desire to prepare for the interview.

DOMAIN DIRECTOR SPOTLIGHT by John F. Cosgrove

"Our Domain Director program has proven to be one of the great success stories for our fraternity to meet the challenges and financial restraints of the 1980's", stated Executive Director John Meyerhoff at a recent National Council meeting.
Meyerhoff went on to state that we have 24 of 25 directors serving our chapters in the designated regions all across the U.S.
"Some of our voluntary alumni directors have done an exceptional job ... and among them is Kevin Boatright, Nebraska Wesleyan, '74.
"I have enjoyed the experience very much. There have been frustra-

tions, but not unmatched by the challenges. It is a great feeling watching these young men develop from a freshman to graduation ... and watching the chapters grow as the men in them grow," stated Boatright, PKT senior Domain Director.
Boatright is a graduate of Upsilon chapter at Nebraska Wesleyan University and currently is Assistant Publications Administrator for the University of Northern Iowa. The Hawkeye Domain covers chapters in Iowa which now include Coe, Iowa State and Iowa Wesleyan.
While in college obtaining his B.A. in English and M.A. in Journalism, Boatright was president of the student senate, editor of the newspaper and literary annual and a student member of the Board of Trustees.
Since graduation Boatright has been active in the Metropol itan Chorale, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, University of Iowa Alumni Association, Iowa Historical Society and in organizing alumni for Nebraska Wesleyan. He enjoys stamp collecting, photography and reading
history. He is currently pursuing an additional Masters Degree in History at Northern.
The serious-minded Boatright is married, but wife Deborah supports the fraternity involvement. " I try to stress the importance of scholarship and the diverse composition of the chapter as a way to learn about life. The fraternity can fill the void between career planning and involvement. This can be a real service to our resident council members and our alumni."
That philosophy is summed up in the attitude Boatright has about the future of the fraternity.
" We must stress overall leadership development not only in our chapters but with each individual we come in contact with. We must be not only a social fraternity, but a leadership fraternity ... setting the pace. not following reluctantly. We must train our young men for life's challenges."
Say hello and thank Kevin Boatright at the 75th Diamond Jubilee Convention this summer. He's an outstanding role model for all that is good about Phi Kappa Tau.

PHI KAPPA TAU AWARD OUTLINED Dr. Monroe Moosnick outlines the nine-step process for fraternity scholarship.
I Dr Monroe Moosmck
Or. Monroe Moosnick of Lexington, Kentucky was chosen as the fraternity's National Educational Director In August. 1980. Currently, Or. Moosnick is chairman of the Division of Natural Science and Mathematics at Transylvania University, having served on the faculty there since 1946. He has acted as advisor to Theta Chapter for twenty-eight years and in 1976 was the recipient of Phi Kappa Tau 's Brandon Award. We welcome Dr. Moosnick in his
FEATURE
new capacity with the National Fraternity.
Dr. Moosnick sets forth a nine step process for the enhancement of fraternity scholarship and announces the reinstatement of the fraternity scholarship award in Phi Kappa Tau.
FRATERNITY SCHOLARSHIP 1. Chapters should recognize the
fact that academics is the primary reason for attending college and academic excellence is crucial for graduate study and careers. A commitment to scholarship is essential.
2. All chapters should strive for academic standing above the all men's average. If they are not equal or above the all men's average, they should evaluate goals and priorities.
3. The vice-president should have the responsibility for high academic achievement in the chapter. In electing a vice-president, qualifications for this aspect of his work should be carefully considered. In this way, as a member of the Executive Council, he would have a significant role in determining the effect of all activities on academics.
4. Meetings should be efficient and as brief as possible to avoid conflict with studying. Meetings and all other fraternity functions should be scheduled at times (such as early in the evening) that interfere with study time as little as possible.
5. The vice-president should work closely with students needing help and arrange for brothers to tutor and answer questions.
6. Scholarship should be emphasized in the associate-member training program and the latter designed to conflict with studying a minimal amount.
7. The faculty advisor should encourage the chapter to give academics first priority and work closely with the vice-president to see that the program is sound and that progress is being made.
8. The Board of Governors should check on efforts to improve the academic standing of the chapter.
9. Individual chapters might limit a member's activities in the fraternity if he does not have an acceptable academic standing. Furthermore, a reward program might well be instituted to recogn i ze outstanding academic achievement. Beginning with the academic year
of 1980-81, Phi Kappa Tau will again make an annual award for the highest chapter scholastic average in the entire fraternity. The award was last given in 1966-67 to Tau chapter of the University of Michigan.
Nat ional Educat ion Directo r Monroe Moosnick will administer the award and all applications should be sent to him, 2010 Bixby Way, Lexington, Kentucky 40502.
Appl ications must be based upon an entire school year of two semesters or three quarters and may not include summer school.
Each application must be certified by the appropriate school registrar or Dean of Students and have the school seal.
Grades may only be included for initiated members. An associate member who is initiated before the end of a term may be counted for that term.
Each application must contain each term's cumulative grade point average with a list of all brothers' named included in that average, but not individual members' grade averages.
Each application must contain the cumulative grade average for two semesters or three quarters, the total number of hours attempted and quality points earned.
The appl ica tions for 1980-81 school year must be received by Dr. Moosnick by July 15 in order that the presentation of the trophy can be made at the 75th Anniversary Convention in Oxford.
No application will be considered from a chapter with less than 30

GAMMA PI NUMBER ONE CHAPTER "The brothers of Gamma Pi regard the 'Fraternity of the Year' award very seriously, and constantly strive to achieve the excellence required to win the award. "
The Gamma Pi Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity can proudly claim the title of the number one fraternity on the Youngstown State University Campus. This is determined each April as the university's fraternities and sororities participate in the annual Greek Sing and Awards Ceremony.
Each fraternity vies for 1st place in the song competition as well as the various awards and trophies presented at this most prestigious event. The most coveted award is the "Fraternity of the Year Award," presented to the fraternity accumulating the highest number of points in various areas over the preceding year. These points are weighed differently, according to the importance of the event. Such

areas include community service, campus involvement, and all around fraternity participation . The Brothers of Gamma Pi regard the "Fraternity of the Year" award very seriously, and constantly strive to achieve the excellence required to win the award.
In 1979, the Gamma Pi chapter placed second in the Greek Sing song competition and 1st in scholarship and won the prestigious " Fraternity of the Year" award. The following year the brothers returned determined to win all three awards, and did just that! In 1980, the Gamma Pi Chapter captured 1st place in the 28th Annual Greek Sing, defeating 8 other Y.S.U. fraternities and consequently scoring higher than any other group performing that evening. The Phi Taus also repeated their first place award in "Fraternity of the Year" as well as scholarship.
Gamma Pi's strength lies in its awareness of and service to the campus and community, as well as its many social activities. They sponsor such events as an orientation that provides freshmen with a weekend exposure to Gamma Pi and the fraternity system at Youngstown State.
Community service projects included a Dance-A-Thon benefiting the American Diabetes Assoc. and Youngstown Hearing and Speech Center, co-sponsored with Delta Zeta Sorority. They also worked with
the Youngstown Jaycees as water distributors and road guards at the International Peace Race.
While Gamma Pi strives for scholarship, they are also very active socially. One of the biggest events is the Valentines Day Dance, which is held annually. The dance also consists of a dating game and the drawing of a diamond pendant, with every girl attending being eligible to win. This event is open to the entire student body. The chapter also sponsors mixers wi th various sororities and co-sponsors TGIF parties with IFC.
These events weigh heavily in importance. and that is why Gamma Pi is number one on the Y.S.U. Campus. Gamma Pi has won the ''Fraternity of the Year" award two years running and expect to be strong contenders for the award to be given soon for 1981. This year, winning the "Fraternity of the Year" award is especially significant, because once the award has been received three consecutive years by one fraternity, the trophy is retired!
Editors Note: Gamma Pi is the second chapter to be recognized in the Laurel for being named the top fraternity on its respective campus. Executi ve Director John Meyerhoff congratulates Gamma Pi on behalf of the entire fraternity and promises any Phi Tau chapter named NO. 1 on campus an appropriate feature in the Laurel.

WALKOUTS DISCUSSED by John Meyerhoff Executive Director
Chapter walkouts are to develop spirit and a sense of brotherhood.
Chapter Walkouts-In the past school year. I ' ve received an unusual number of reports on problems with chapter walkouts and inter-chapter visitations. We seem to be the unhappy recipients of a rather ghoulish tradition : that of sending an associate member class (with varying degrees of supervision ranging from little to none) to another campus with a Phi Tau Chapter. The idea is to develop fraternity spirit and a sense of brotherhood.
That's fine. However, we don't enhance that goal by turning a pledge class loose on a host chapter campus with an idea that they're supposed to come away with a souvenir and generally raise hell. They certainly aren't operating in a way that furthers any of our stated objectives or fulfills our cardinal principles. In effect, we seem to be condoning a general lack of respect for others' rights and property in direct contradiction to the vows of our initiation.
Just as the abuses of hazing are not logical and legitimate means by which to develop brotherhood, neither is the abuse of other campuses and fraternities' property a legitimate means for development of brotherhood.
More on this will be transmitted to chapters directly through the monthly chapter newsletter. National President Tom Cunningham will be appointing a committee at this summer's Convention to discuss the problem and present recommendations to the Convention assembly.
TIME OUT
Our 75th Anniversary i-As I'm writing this, I'm thinking of the fact that St. Patrick's Day, our Founders' Day, is just around the corner. You won't read this for a couple months, but I'm reminded of our founding by the annual Oxford/ Miami University tradition of Green Beer Day commemorating St. Patrick's Day. So, the green beer is flowing downtown, and the phone is ringing at Phi Tau headquarters. On the other end is one of my predecessors, R. K. "Kirkie" Bowers, who was Grand Secretary from 1917-1929. Kirkie informs me he plans to celebrate Founders' Day by visiting the Headquarters here in Oxford. And that reminds me; Kirkie was one of the few who had made plans to spend the weekend of March 13-15 at the Founders ' Day Getaway at Seascape in Destin, Florida. That event. which I had hoped would become a Phi Tau tradition, was cancelled for lack of sufficient signup interest. Thus, Kirkie is available to come to Oxford for Founders' Day.
Anyway, it's too bad about the Getaway. The weekend was designed for fun and Phi Tau fellowship. However, all you golfers will still have the opportunity to get a shot at me in the Stragglers' Golf Tourney the day after Convention ends, Sunday, August 2 at Hueston Woods. I guess we'll never know for sure just how the Founders' Day event would have turned out.
Nevertheless, we do know how the conventions turn out. We overhear the delegates. We get their let-
ters. We see the change in their chapters after they return. And we get the letters from alumni recalling a particular Convention as their most memorable fraternity moment. I've never heard a put down of a Phi Tau Convention. Probably more so than in any other instance, that's when the fraternity spirit shines best. If you've never been to one, you can't know what I'm talking about, and I only ask that rather than skeptically withholding a positive decision to attend, try it!
This issue contains complete information on the upcoming 75th Anniversary event as well as a blank registration form and return address envelope. Look over the pictures and schedule of events and plan to be in Oxford this July. See you then!
The Fraternity's first executive direc tor, R. K. "Kirkie" Bowers. (known as Grand Secretary in those days) celebrates Phi Tau's 75th Anniversary in the Executive Direc tor 's office at the headquarters in Oxford.

OUR DIAMOND JUBILEE YEAR
A year to establish Phi Kappa Tau Values. The Fra ternity's President reflects on the state of the Fraternity.
Thomas C. Cunningham. National President
Current Position is Strong As we prepare to commemorate
our 75th anniversary at the Diamond Jubilee Convention at Miami University this August, it is appropriate to reflect on our history and review our current status. It is also essential that we reaffirm what Phi Kappa
ANNIVERSARY
Tau represents and determine its future.
As our previous annual report statements indicated, 1979 was our spring board for success and 1980 revealed many of our aspirations and plans coming to fruition. Our 1981 state of affairs is substantially better than we have realized in our previous two years. Our average chapter is larger and stronger, our overall undergraduate membership throughout the fraternity is ahead of budget and plans. Our image and reputation on campuses throughout the country is significantly better. The number and qual ity of volunteer alumni providing assistance and guidance at both local and national levels is at an all time high. This is especially characterized by our domain director program that is fully staffed and is finally realizing the potential that we have all felt was inherent in the domain director concept.
Our finances are not everything we would like for them to be because our success in all other areas of our operations has produced financial demands that we have yet to find the means to accommodate. However, our financial security is clearly better than it has been in the last decade. Our constant financial support and leadership from our National Foundation under the di(ection of Ewing Boles and Ray Bichimer and the day-to-day financial consultation from our Director of Finance and !:lousing, Tom Hendricks. combined with a close management of our financial operations by the Executive Director, John Meyerhoff. is producing a well managed financial entity, albeit extremely short of capital to accommodate our operational desires.
The expansion program which in previous years has been dormant has been resurrected and is routinely providing us with an influx of revived chapters who have been previously closed and chapters on selected new campuses that complement our existing strengths.
We are now two years into the transition to our new Executive Di-
rector's full time leadership of the fraternity and the results have been remarkable . John "Coach" Meyerhoff's efforts to bring good management practices to the executive offices and each individual chapter's operations have been relentless and effective. His dedication to the future of Phi Kappa Tau is unquestionable and it has been a pleasure for me to work with him as National President while he was establishing his presence as our fifth Phi Kappa Tau Executive Director. Two Programs to be Introduced
The two major programs that earmark new directions for Phi Kappa Tau are the creation of a National Housing Corporation and the design and implementation of a Career Planning Program for all Phi Kappa Tau chapters. Our goal is to have all aspects of the National Housing Corporation completed in 1981 and to have that entity functioning as an organ ization that will own and operate any currently owned national housing property, provide consultation and support to local housing corporations and assist troubled local housing corporations or new expansion chapters in their housing efforts. The Career Plann ing Program was piloted at the University of Evansville this spring and a program will be presented at the convention explaining how it can be incorporated into every undergraduate chapter operation. This program is designed to interest our alumni in work ing with undergraduates on career planning and to clearly establish with our undergraduate members that one of our primary reasons for existence is to assist each Phi Tau member to prepare for the career opportunities that will exist for him upon graduation. We're Known by Our Values
Therefore, I bel ieve your leadership of the fraternity can confidently say that all operations are in order. In my opinion. the challenge that lies ahead is the reaffirmation of our beliefs in our three cardinal principles and the establishing of a value system that is an effective imple-
(Continued on page 12)
The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau 11
..
(Continued from page 11) mentation of the principles in which we believe.
Values are not " hard" like organizational structures, constitutions and bylaws. Often they are not even written down. An organization with an apparent high value system is "turned on." All of us have witnessed this phenomenon. Most people in any "turned on" organization share a common belief about the distinctiveness of their organization. Witness organizations who have them, values define the fundamental character of their organization-the attitude that distinguishes it from all others. Shared values define a fraternity's views of itself in relationship to the outside world, notably to other students and the university administration. But, they do not deal only with the fraternity's relationship with the outside world. Within a fraternity they also govern " the way we do things around here."
No. 1 at E.C.U.
Our membership orientation program must be our vehicle to initially establish and communicate the Phi Kappa Tau value system. If we perpetuate in that associate membership training program any form of hazing this establishes hazing as a part of our value system. THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN! Further, if we do not enforce our positive value system upwards through our members and officers then we are likely to have no identity other than a good place to party and drink beer.
If any member of the fraternity, undergraduate or alumnus, cannot clearly articulate what they believe the positive value system of the fraternity is then we have been unsuccessful in translating our cardinal principles into a " turned on" fraternity that has a strong belief in the distinctive experience we provide to our members. Our Challenge for the Eighties
The responsibility for accom-
pllshing this lies with our leadership at the national and local level. We must be imaginative in creating, and maintaining a Phi Kappa Tau value system and effective in communicating and influencing our fraternity in making these values an operational reality. Leaders who have the responsibility for value, creation and maintenance must continuously regard themselves not only as deciders, controllers or doers, but also as symbolic leaders who send signals by their behavior.
As we celebrate 75 years of positive contribution to the lives of young men we must be mindful that we were initially founded as the " non fraterni ty association," because our founders felt that our fraternity should have a value system that was unique and distinctive. We know what our principles are and our challenge for the 80's is assuring that they are incorporated into the "way of doing things."
Gamma Eta-A Chapter with Heart The Gamma Eta chapter was
named the No. 1 fraternity chapter for the 1979-80 school year at East Carolina University. The award is presented annually by the IFC and is based on a variety of activities. Some of the criteria for consideration included:
a. Attendance at weekly IFC meetings
b. Paying dues on time c. House academic average d. Success in intramurals e. Greek Week events f. Service projects
g. Participation in campus activities
Gamma Eta's Phi Tau " Spring Fling," a 50 keg all campus party held on the house grounds was judged the best campus party. The chapter headed the IFC Blood Drive and was tops on campus, participated in collecting for the Heart
12 The Laurel of Phi Kappa Tau
Fund, Cancer Fund, provided toys for poor families at Christmas and gave turkeys to the needy at Thanksgiving.
Gamma Eta chapter house
In addition to its Service and Philanthropy projects, the Phi Taus had excellent balance and success in other areas. Gamma Eta Phi Taus were President of the IFC and Senior class, they held three Student Government Association of-
flees and placed 5 members of the house on the Dean 's list. In scholarship achievement. they held the second highest fraternity average.
While the Gamma Eta Chapter did not win any outright Intramural Championships, they again were runner-up in the overall point standing. Second place finishers in football, basketball and softball, as well as 100% participation contributed to the achievement.
One of the chapter's great natural assets is a beautiful house which they take great pride in and maintain carefully.
If you 're ever in Greenville, North Carolina, stop by and visit Gamma Eta. Current president is Peter Mountcastle and Chairman of the Board of Governors is prominent local attorney Cherry Stokes. Besides being a Phi Tau chapter to be proud of, they're known for their outstanding fraternal hospitality!
Directory Verification Underway
Many members have already received telephone calls from the Harris Publishing Company, publishers of our official alumni directory. The purpose of the telephone contact is to verify the information which the alumni provided on the directory questionnaires and the information that is currently held on our membership records.
At the same time, the telephone representatives of the publishing company are inviting alumni to purchase personal copies of the directory or place advertising in the issue.
The directory is tentatively scheduled for release in late July to coincide with our DIAMOND JUBILEE. If you are interested in ordering a copy and have not heard from the publisher by May 15, you may contact the publisher directly at 170 Hamilton Avenue, White Plains, NY 10601

20 The l aurel of Phi Kappa Tau
Campfire Beer Bust ... The Party at the Club if It would have been closed to Phi Taus and Sorority Girls The bonfire (except the drive was too long) ... The convention Sessions themselves ... The banquets . .. The niteouts ... The woman telling of the experience of losing her son; that was good to help Phi Taus realize the importance of keeping "help" week under control ... Final Candlelight Ceremony/ Banquet I enjoyed the talk on hazing, it was very enlightening ... The social events proved to be a good opportunity to exchange ideas ... Also when we broke down into groups the workshops were helpful (i.e. financial, alumni, etc.) The dinner and program on the final night was the most impressive . . The IMPACT session was very useful. Low cost ... location ... Mrs. Stevens ... Candlelight ceremony for brotherhood.
The organized social events ... The Candlelight Ceremony and some of the workshops
Informal Party at local Fraternity House ... Seminars held between both undergraduates and Graduates Songfest and Campfire Last Night ... Chuck's Mother ... Model Initiation ... Meeting other Phi Taus (esp. other Chapter Advisers) ... Rooming next to Bro. Johnson and Father Nick I really got an inside view of every happening during Convention '79. Informal meetings and discussions
The sense of fellowship and the opportunity to socialize with Phi Taus from all over the U.S.
Although I wasn't in Knoxville for the entire Convention, I enjoyed the informality, the reception at the house and model initiation the best. The hospitality tables at the Chapter house, the beer blast and "song" contest on the hill at the end of the Convention, discussing problems and opportunities with undergrads. The last night get together (bonfire)
The Model Initiation ... The fellowship between chapters in same living vicinity in dorms and the small group committee meetings The model initiation ... The Candlelight Closing Ceremony and Listening to Mrs. Stevens story about her son's (hazing) death
Eileen Stevens speech ... The Candlelight Brotherhood Ceremony and the Model Initiation
I enjoyed sharing the experience of Brotherhood with so many other Phi Taus and hearing how other chapters conduct their business (i.e. rush. initiation, etc.)
The Convention Banquet! ... The noisy Fellowship was great! Everything was great in 1979. I liked the IMPACT sessions and the get togethers afterwards and I also enjoyed the speakers. I truly enjoyed all of the 1979 convention and I hope the 1981 will be great too. Good job by host chapter ... Much time well spent ... Strong feel of brotherhood ... Overall it was a great convention The get togethers at the D-Kappa House . . . Also the "big time" at Knoxville (down town parties, sight-seeing, etc ... )

CONVENTIONS OF THE
PHI KAPPA TAU FRATERNITY
As host, I am slightly prejudiced about the effectiveness of last convention. Overall, the party put on by different chapters and the individual IMPACT sessions were the best parts. The IMPACT sess1on at convention was much better .. I also liked the chapter parties-great national unity!! The choir at the banquet plus the banquet itself was great. Individual parties at the house hosted by different chapters, going to local bars with the other Phi Taus, the choir at Dinner. Fratern ity hazing speaker ... Singing Songs
Receptions ... Time to exchange ideas Meeting brothers (from B-Zeta and elsewhere) I had not seen in a while ... The warm welcome I received at B-Epsilon (USM) ort.the drive up and back ... The hillside campfire songfest and Beta Zeta's thrashing of all challengers in basketball
The Candlelight Service ... The Campfire singing and the Group Meetings The whole Convention was great
The Spirit and enthusiasm of the undergraduates. I particularly enjoyed the Brotherhood Bonfire. and also Eileen Stevens who spoke on hazing. Other activities included the final banquet. The spirit of Phi Kappa Tau was there, even though we knew each other only for a short time. It was incredible how close most of the brothers of Phi Kappa Tau really got in that period of time. The closing candlelight Ceremony and the evening Campfire outing. I enjoyed the speech by Mrs. Stevens very much as well as most of the planned parties. As I remember, the group I was in when we split into groups to work on suggestions for improvement of specific areas. came up with a good number of suggestions of which I was proud.
The Hospitality parties at the Delta Kappa house where several chapters made their favorite drinks representing their geographical location-for example, we planned on daiquiris and crabs-only there were no crabs in Knoxville. It was one of the better parties. (Editor's note: No crabs 1n Oxford. either.)
