Convention held in Chicago IL
August 5 - 8 2010 I joined a
distinguished list of past fraternity
leaders and transitioned the
Presidentlsquos gavel to Jeff Buhler

President of the IEC As a
University of Florida student Jeff

Rex and earned the 1993 Rafer
Johnson Upsilon Achievement
Award Between 1994 and 2000

Treasurer and Chris Rakunas (UC
Berkeley 97) Secretary
The second leadership transition
took place May 1st at our
International Headquarters (IHQ)
After almost six years as
Executive Director Gary Sanders
dec ided to pursue other
challenges When Gary accepted
the dubious challenge to be our
Fraternitylsquos top employee he
simultaneously inherited an
organization in decline Thanks to
Garylsquos stewardship and tireless
efforts our undergraduate
operations made the transition
toward stability He has lived and breathed Fraternity business for
many years to get us where we are
today By growing undergraduate
membership and significantly
improving collection rates Gary
expanded the professional staff to
include a Director of Expansion
and two Leadership Consultants
before resigning Pi Lambda Phi
has not had this many staff
members in 8 or 9 years Gary
thank you for making my job so
much easier than it could have
otherwise been

Director of Expansion to Director
of Chapter Operations Ian will
oversee the professional staff and
undergraduate chapters As a
Baldwin-Wallace College student
Ian served our OH Beta Tau
Chapter as Rex and earned the
2008 Rafer Johnson Upsilon

Strategic Plan
One of my last significant responsibilities was
to prepare an appropriate succession plan
before transitioning the Presidentlsquos gavel
Successful transitions need to be well
thought-out and this strategic plan is
particularly important
Pi Lambda Phi has experienced a disturbing
membership trend (see graph) over the last
two decades Since the early 1990lsquos
undergraduate membership and chapter roll
has dropped steadily Although we have
regained control of the downward trend we cannot settle for stability Our leadership
team is committed to reversing this
trajectory and Ensuring the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi Although major components of
the strategic plan are announced in this issue
of The Frater you deserve to know
specifically how we plan to grow the
Fraternity
If you prefer an interactive experience then
register for a virtual town hall-style
presentation facilitated by Jeff Buhler Shawn
Upchurch andor Chip Luman Visit
wwwpilambdaphiorg and register for one of
the weekly options available thru November
The Frater
As the three leadership transitions evolved
it became clear a unique opportunity existed
to realign educational programming and
fundraising with The Creed The IEC and
Educational Foundation leadership teams
worked hard to develop a singular long-term
strategic plan and the complimentary
programs to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda
Phi We decided The Frater provided the best
means to announce the strategic plan and
programs so we delayed production We
also decided to switch publication of our
magazine to an online format starting
immediately To learn more about these
decisions read the next article Wherersquos

Publishing The Frater Page 16

Within The Fraterrsquos 28 pages of content Jeff
Buhler details undergraduate growth
initiatives and Chip Luman does the same
with the Foundation
Alumni with Inactive Chapters
We understand many Alumni no longer have
active undergraduate chapters I know all
too well how this feels as my chapter
(Illinois) is now inactive Let me be clear
there is only one Brotherhood Although
much of what we write about centers
around active chapters please know you
are an integra l part of the
Fraternity Active chapter or not we are
all equal in this Brotherhood
2011 Leadership Surveys
To better understand the unique situations
and interests of all members I strongly
encourage participation in a short survey
series 2011 Leadership Surveys (pg 6)
Our leadership team needs more
information to Ensure the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi
Call to Duty
For too long we have allowed ourselves to
drift apart Divided we cannot advance
our beautiful Creed or remain strong for
our undergraduate brethren Hence we
need you to consider recommitting to our
Fraternity and renewing your commitment
to our cause for the Good and Welfare of
Pi Lambda Phi
It is in this spirit for the Good and
Welfare that we can Ensure the Longevity
by Growing Healthy Chapters Today and
Building the Foundation of Our Future The
benefits extrapolate into every alumnuslsquo
life with new and exciting ways to
celebrate and Live The Creed
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of Fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected
and make a meaningful impact Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let
us know what you can do Brothers with
less let us know what you can do
Thank you
It has truly been an honor to serve you I
am leaving our beloved Fraternity in
excellent hands Although I am supremely
confident that they do not need it I want to
wish Jeff Ian and Chip the best of luck

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
We all reflect back on our undergraduate
days with distinct memories of Pi Lambda
Phi Fraternity For some the Creed and our
Founding Fatherlsquos vision to break down
barriers between people remains an integral
part of your life Others were provided one
of their first leadership opportunities within
your chapter and the experience helped
establish the man you are today For all of us
the friendships that we formed will be
treasured for a lifetime We all remember
the confidence we gained the life lessons we
learned the smiles and laughter and
especially the common bonds of
Brotherhood from our undergraduate days
It is natural for us to desire young men to
have a similar experience in our chapters
today It is also natural for us to have an interest in having a Pilam chapter on our
campus if our chapter is not active We want
students of today and tomorrow to share
our experiences We want Pilam to live and
grow beyond where we were and are today
People like to be a part of a winning team
We see this in business sports community
movements and throughout organizations
across cultures and industries Winning is
certainly not everything but the desire to
make progress ability to set a target align
resources and celebrate successes along the
journey helps provide a winning attitude and
spirit that contributes to the team
accomplishing more than we initially
expected When we are invested in a cause
that we love like Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity
we enjoy the challenges through the journey
of progress
We are very excited to announce the launch
of our Undergraduate Growth Initiative Healthy
Chapters Today - Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Join me on Page 9 for more details and
consider which initiative is right for you

Building the
Foundation for
Our Future
by Chip Luman
Following Brother Scotts theme of
transition I want to share how the
Trustees will help Build the Foundation for
Our Future
First all Fraternity segments are as well
aligned as ever The IEC Advisory Board
EF numerous long-time contributing
Alumni International Headquarters and
2010 Leadership Delegates have already
rallied around the strategic plan Brother
Scott referenced earlier
Many contributed toward the development
of the aforementioned long-term plan
which was facilitated by Dan Jeff and I The
strategic plan will maximize resources and
re-focus efforts to Ensure the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi Fraternity Of course success
depends on execution and the efforts of
brothers like you
I write with two simple requests First
reflect upon what Pi Lambda Phi has meant
to you as an undergraduate as an Alumni
and what it will mean to you in the future
Second ask yourself What can I do to
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The Trustees will help Build the Foundation
for Our Future by focusing on six initiatives
Of course these are in addition to fraternal
communications The six areas are
1 Kovner Corps (Volunteerism)
2 The Elimination of Prejudice
3 Pi Lambda Phi University
4 Unrestricted Fundraising Initiatives
5 Chapter Specific Fundraising Initiatives
6 Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
Join me on Page 10 for more details and
consider which initiative is right for you
Itlsquos a Great time to Build Our Foundation
Contest Help Reinvent The Frater Tripod and The Elimination of Prejudice Brands

brands that could use reinvention The Frater Tripod and The Elimination of Prejudice Brothers can choose to help reposition and
rethink one brand or all three The participant who contributes the most promising strategy for adding new life to a brand will win

The Elimination of Prejudice by Bill Sandre
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP) is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative and aligns educational programming
and fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it has become commonplace for Greek Letter organizations to
name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Leonard the Educational Foundation originally sponsored the annual program at the
University of Wisconsin The University of Michigan (1998) and North Carolina State University (2000) also
participated in subsequent years Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non Pilam undergraduate students
Contest winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott IEC President and Chip Luman Educational Foundation President appointed a joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can expect program details and launch
early October you should know The Elimination Prejudice will be an independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying differences
between people that prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-key program management services marketing collateral chapter
branded online fundraising page online donation collection management and reporting judge support tools
and award distribution Chapters will be responsible for recruiting judges contest marketing fundraising and
award presentations Local contest winners will advance to a national competition which will be administered
by the Fraternity The overall winner will be announced at the Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
The Creed of
Pi Lambda Phi
Fraternity
That all men are created
free and equal
That no society of men can
flourish unless members of
that society are endowed
with the opportunities and
privileges of freedom
That freedom implies the
elimination of prejudice
- that the elimination of
prejudice means a better
understanding twixt men
That it is incumbent upon
me to fight for such
freedom even with my life
That it is incumbent upon
me in my personal life
to be devoted to
the highest standards of
honesty and justice
That because my country is
dedicated to the highest
standards of freedom and
justice for all men of all
creeds I hereby pledge
allegiance to my country
and to its national symbol
Initiation Year vs Graduation Year A Brotherhood Referendum
The debate has raged for decades
Some chapters prefer to notate brothers
Initiation Year after a memberlsquos name and others
prefer Graduation Year (from their respective college or university)
The International Executive Councils Executive
Board decided to use the 2011 Leadership
Survey Part II as a brotherhood referendum on
the issue The second of a three part survey
series is scheduled to be launched early October
As long as the online survey achieves a 5
response rate the majority decides which
standard will be adopted by the International
Headquarters
The Fraternitylsquos Facebook amp LinkedIn sites serve
as forums for discussion
Itlsquos a Great time to Decide
2011 Leadership Surveys
The Fraternity launched a three part 2011 Leadership
Survey series August 27 2010 Almost 9000 registered
Alumni and student members were sent access to Part I
At the time this article was composed only a couple
more completed surveys were needed to achieve a 5
response rate A truly amazing level of engagement
Preliminary results includes over 160 Alumni requested
volunteer roles and 24 applied for an open Leadership
Consultant position
Equally as important over 400 new ideas were generated
for each of the surveylsquos primary questions
1) How to increase volunteerism
2) How to graduate more Pilams
3) How to Eliminate Prejudice
Part II is scheduled to be launched early October
Comprehensive results will be available early January
Itlsquos a Great time to Participate

Adelphi University
In the fall of 2009 a group of students at Adelphi University in Garden City NY contacted the International Headquarters with
aspirations of re-starting our inactive Chapter of NY Phi Lambda We were thrilled with the opportunity to re-launch this great
chapter Through the combined efforts of professional staff members as well as through the diligent work of a core group of NY
Phi Lambda Alumni like Ted Demetriou Marvin Soskil Alan Markowitz and Charlie Kaufman (to name just a few) we were able to
successfully re-colonize an undergraduate group at Adelphi University during the spring 2010 semester
In one short semester the group brought in 19 men and participated in a variety of community service and raised over $800 for
various philanthropies The members of this newly recognized group also achieved a group GPA of 34 during the Spring 2010
semester We expect great things out of this up and coming colony
Lock Haven University
There was a lot to cheer about this summer including the Chartering of PA Gamma Psi at Lock Haven University Our group at
Lock Haven overcame some obstacles over the past few years and was able to celebrate a journey well worth the outcome This
chapter is now one of the largest fraternities on campus and is continually trying to represent Pi Lambda Phi while making a positive
difference at Lock Haven Their ―Ms Haven Pageant has become a great tradition that is not only fun for the student body but
also used as a way to raise money for philanthropic causes As noted at this chapterlsquos chartering banquet this is only just the
beginning of what should be many years of continued success for PA Gamma Psi
Salisbury State University
During the spring 2010 semester the future of our MD Kappa Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was uncertain as membership
dwindled and recognition with the school was all but lost Through the commitment and dedication of our International
Headquarters and a core group of Alumni from the MD Kappa Delta chapter we were able to save the charter and launch a re-
organization effort before it was too late Professional Staff member Romano Muniz (FL Delta) is on site this Fall semester
recruiting a group of student leaders who will serve as the men who revitalize this once great chapter Romano is identifying
student leaders on campus that are serious about their academics deliberate about their development as young leaders and that
are service minded Stay tuned for future updates from what should soon become a very strong chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
Temple University
PA Alpha Delta burst back into the Pi Lambda Phi spotlight in the Fall of 2009 after having been an inactive chapter since 2007 The
dedication of the PA Alpha Delta Alumni association paired with the expertise former Director of Expansion Ian Lowe brought to
the table led to a very successful re-colonization
Twenty-six men were recruited to re-colonize this chapter and within their first year back were able to raise over $1500 for
philanthropies volunteered hundreds of hours of service to the community and sought involvement with a variety of organizations
and clubs on campus PA Alpha Delta has aspirations of being a top chapter within the coming years and we think they have the
foundation to do just that
University of Virginia
Thanks in large part to the dedication of the VA Omega Alpha Alumni and through the work of Ian Lowe (who served as Director
of Expansion) we were able to Ensure the Longevity of our VA Omega Alpha chapter when the charter became jeopardized after a
series of incidents resulted in the chapter losing recognition with the school in the spring of 2008
That following fall semester with the support of the Alumni Ian was able to launch a re-organization effort Over the course of the
re-organization effort we were able to recruit 24 new brothers who helped lead VA Omega Alpha into a new era
By the end of the spring 2010 semester that chapter had increased to a brotherhood of 43 men and was recognized at the 2010
Summer Convention as a top 5 finalist for Outstanding Chapter of the year thanks in part to the chapterlsquos operational success and
their emphasis on academics leadership and service to the community A bright future is in the works for VA Omega Alpha

Ensuring the Longevity (restarts)
Over the past two years we have no less than six success stories when our professional stafflsquos
―know how was combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and Treasure The specific results for
five of these success stories follow By partnering with university administrators our combined
efforts (professional staff and Alumni) recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new
campus It is important to point out we are in the process of saving four more charters

Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge
platform was selected to power Pi Lambda
Phi University If you have learning design

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)
Pilams share common bonds and
experiences that link us together our entire
lives like an appreciation for Kovners
Quote

accomplished men willing to Ensure the
Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi who understand
what it means to work for it sweat for it curse
it and love it as well as the men in it hellip

To this end we have created the Kovner
Corps established in recognition of the
prophetic words of Brother Alfred Koko
Kovner 42 alumnus of our recently re-
colonized Temple chapter

Please donlsquot wait for a position to be posted
to get involved Write me and we will find
somewhere to put you to work
Our Founding Fathers said it best
Itrsquos a Great time to Volunteer
The year-end edition of The Frater will cover
the second half of our Big 6 initiatives
Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
along with Unrestricted and Chapter
Specific Fundraising Initiatives
In summary we have restarted the Big Pi
Chapter granted scholarships and are
launching a matching gift campaign Until
then please consider how you can help

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive

Schulberg attended Deerfield Academy and then went on to Dartmouth College where he was
actively involved in the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine and was a member of the
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity [1] In 1939 he collaborated on the screenplay for Winter Carnival a light
comedy set at Dartmouth One of his collaborators was F Scott Fitzgerald who was fired because
of his alcoholic binge during a visit with Schulberg to Dartmouth Dartmouth College awarded
Schulberg an honorary degree in 1960
While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American
Activities Committee named Schulberg as a former member of the Communist Party Schulberg testified as a friendly witness
that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists

Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his contributions to the sport

PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which
defeated Secretariat in the Woodward Stakes in September 1973 Handsome Boy which defeated Buckpasser in the Brooklyn

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Strategic Plan
One of my last significant responsibilities was
to prepare an appropriate succession plan
before transitioning the Presidentlsquos gavel
Successful transitions need to be well
thought-out and this strategic plan is
particularly important
Pi Lambda Phi has experienced a disturbing
membership trend (see graph) over the last
two decades Since the early 1990lsquos
undergraduate membership and chapter roll
has dropped steadily Although we have
regained control of the downward trend we cannot settle for stability Our leadership
team is committed to reversing this
trajectory and Ensuring the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi Although major components of
the strategic plan are announced in this issue
of The Frater you deserve to know
specifically how we plan to grow the
Fraternity
If you prefer an interactive experience then
register for a virtual town hall-style
presentation facilitated by Jeff Buhler Shawn

the weekly options available thru November
The Frater
As the three leadership transitions evolved
it became clear a unique opportunity existed
to realign educational programming and
fundraising with The Creed The IEC and
Educational Foundation leadership teams
worked hard to develop a singular long-term
strategic plan and the complimentary
programs to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda
Phi We decided The Frater provided the best
means to announce the strategic plan and
programs so we delayed production We
also decided to switch publication of our
magazine to an online format starting
immediately To learn more about these
decisions read the next article Wherersquos

Alumni with Inactive Chapters
We understand many Alumni no longer have
active undergraduate chapters I know all
too well how this feels as my chapter
(Illinois) is now inactive Let me be clear
there is only one Brotherhood Although
much of what we write about centers
around active chapters please know you
are an integra l part of the
Fraternity Active chapter or not we are
all equal in this Brotherhood
2011 Leadership Surveys
To better understand the unique situations
and interests of all members I strongly
encourage participation in a short survey
series 2011 Leadership Surveys (pg 6)
Our leadership team needs more
information to Ensure the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi
Call to Duty

drift apart Divided we cannot advance
our beautiful Creed or remain strong for
our undergraduate brethren Hence we
need you to consider recommitting to our
Fraternity and renewing your commitment
to our cause for the Good and Welfare of
Pi Lambda Phi
It is in this spirit for the Good and
Welfare that we can Ensure the Longevity
by Growing Healthy Chapters Today and
Building the Foundation of Our Future The
benefits extrapolate into every alumnuslsquo
life with new and exciting ways to
celebrate and Live The Creed

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
We all reflect back on our undergraduate
days with distinct memories of Pi Lambda
Phi Fraternity For some the Creed and our
Founding Fatherlsquos vision to break down
barriers between people remains an integral
part of your life Others were provided one
of their first leadership opportunities within
your chapter and the experience helped
establish the man you are today For all of us
the friendships that we formed will be
treasured for a lifetime We all remember
the confidence we gained the life lessons we
learned the smiles and laughter and
especially the common bonds of
Brotherhood from our undergraduate days
It is natural for us to desire young men to
have a similar experience in our chapters
today It is also natural for us to have an interest in having a Pilam chapter on our
campus if our chapter is not active We want
students of today and tomorrow to share
our experiences We want Pilam to live and
grow beyond where we were and are today
People like to be a part of a winning team
We see this in business sports community
movements and throughout organizations
across cultures and industries Winning is
certainly not everything but the desire to
make progress ability to set a target align
resources and celebrate successes along the
journey helps provide a winning attitude and
spirit that contributes to the team
accomplishing more than we initially
expected When we are invested in a cause
that we love like Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity
we enjoy the challenges through the journey
of progress
We are very excited to announce the launch
of our Undergraduate Growth Initiative Healthy
Chapters Today - Growing Chapters Tomorrow

Building the
Foundation for
Our Future
by Chip Luman
Following Brother Scotts theme of
transition I want to share how the
Trustees will help Build the Foundation for
Our Future
First all Fraternity segments are as well
aligned as ever The IEC Advisory Board
EF numerous long-time contributing
Alumni International Headquarters and
2010 Leadership Delegates have already
rallied around the strategic plan Brother
Scott referenced earlier
Many contributed toward the development
of the aforementioned long-term plan
which was facilitated by Dan Jeff and I The
strategic plan will maximize resources and
re-focus efforts to Ensure the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi Fraternity Of course success
depends on execution and the efforts of
brothers like you
I write with two simple requests First
reflect upon what Pi Lambda Phi has meant
to you as an undergraduate as an Alumni
and what it will mean to you in the future
Second ask yourself What can I do to
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The Trustees will help Build the Foundation
for Our Future by focusing on six initiatives
Of course these are in addition to fraternal
communications The six areas are
1 Kovner Corps (Volunteerism)
2 The Elimination of Prejudice
3 Pi Lambda Phi University
4 Unrestricted Fundraising Initiatives
5 Chapter Specific Fundraising Initiatives
6 Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
Join me on Page 10 for more details and
consider which initiative is right for you
Itlsquos a Great time to Build Our Foundation
Contest Help Reinvent The Frater Tripod and The Elimination of Prejudice Brands
Even the strongest and most successful brands occasionally need to be refocused refreshed and revitalized Pi Lambda Phi has three
brands that could use reinvention The Frater Tripod and The Elimination of Prejudice Brothers can choose to help reposition and
rethink one brand or all three The participant who contributes the most promising strategy for adding new life to a brand will win

The Elimination of Prejudice by Bill Sandre
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP) is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative and aligns educational programming
and fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it has become commonplace for Greek Letter organizations to
name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Leonard the Educational Foundation originally sponsored the annual program at the
University of Wisconsin The University of Michigan (1998) and North Carolina State University (2000) also
participated in subsequent years Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non Pilam undergraduate students
Contest winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott IEC President and Chip Luman Educational Foundation President appointed a joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can expect program details and launch
early October you should know The Elimination Prejudice will be an independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying differences
between people that prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-key program management services marketing collateral chapter
branded online fundraising page online donation collection management and reporting judge support tools
and award distribution Chapters will be responsible for recruiting judges contest marketing fundraising and
award presentations Local contest winners will advance to a national competition which will be administered
by the Fraternity The overall winner will be announced at the Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
The Creed of
Pi Lambda Phi
Fraternity
That all men are created
free and equal
That no society of men can
flourish unless members of
that society are endowed
with the opportunities and
privileges of freedom
That freedom implies the
elimination of prejudice
- that the elimination of
prejudice means a better
understanding twixt men
That it is incumbent upon
me to fight for such
freedom even with my life
That it is incumbent upon
me in my personal life
to be devoted to
the highest standards of
honesty and justice
That because my country is
dedicated to the highest
standards of freedom and
justice for all men of all
creeds I hereby pledge
allegiance to my country
and to its national symbol
Initiation Year vs Graduation Year A Brotherhood Referendum
The debate has raged for decades
Some chapters prefer to notate brothers
Initiation Year after a memberlsquos name and others
prefer Graduation Year (from their respective college or university)
The International Executive Councils Executive
Board decided to use the 2011 Leadership
Survey Part II as a brotherhood referendum on
the issue The second of a three part survey
series is scheduled to be launched early October
As long as the online survey achieves a 5
response rate the majority decides which
standard will be adopted by the International
Headquarters
The Fraternitylsquos Facebook amp LinkedIn sites serve
as forums for discussion
Itlsquos a Great time to Decide
2011 Leadership Surveys
The Fraternity launched a three part 2011 Leadership
Survey series August 27 2010 Almost 9000 registered
Alumni and student members were sent access to Part I
At the time this article was composed only a couple
more completed surveys were needed to achieve a 5
response rate A truly amazing level of engagement
Preliminary results includes over 160 Alumni requested
volunteer roles and 24 applied for an open Leadership
Consultant position
Equally as important over 400 new ideas were generated
for each of the surveylsquos primary questions
1) How to increase volunteerism
2) How to graduate more Pilams
3) How to Eliminate Prejudice
Part II is scheduled to be launched early October
Comprehensive results will be available early January
Itlsquos a Great time to Participate

Adelphi University
In the fall of 2009 a group of students at Adelphi University in Garden City NY contacted the International Headquarters with
aspirations of re-starting our inactive Chapter of NY Phi Lambda We were thrilled with the opportunity to re-launch this great
chapter Through the combined efforts of professional staff members as well as through the diligent work of a core group of NY
Phi Lambda Alumni like Ted Demetriou Marvin Soskil Alan Markowitz and Charlie Kaufman (to name just a few) we were able to
successfully re-colonize an undergraduate group at Adelphi University during the spring 2010 semester
In one short semester the group brought in 19 men and participated in a variety of community service and raised over $800 for
various philanthropies The members of this newly recognized group also achieved a group GPA of 34 during the Spring 2010
semester We expect great things out of this up and coming colony
Lock Haven University
There was a lot to cheer about this summer including the Chartering of PA Gamma Psi at Lock Haven University Our group at
Lock Haven overcame some obstacles over the past few years and was able to celebrate a journey well worth the outcome This
chapter is now one of the largest fraternities on campus and is continually trying to represent Pi Lambda Phi while making a positive
difference at Lock Haven Their ―Ms Haven Pageant has become a great tradition that is not only fun for the student body but
also used as a way to raise money for philanthropic causes As noted at this chapterlsquos chartering banquet this is only just the
beginning of what should be many years of continued success for PA Gamma Psi
Salisbury State University
During the spring 2010 semester the future of our MD Kappa Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was uncertain as membership
dwindled and recognition with the school was all but lost Through the commitment and dedication of our International
Headquarters and a core group of Alumni from the MD Kappa Delta chapter we were able to save the charter and launch a re-
organization effort before it was too late Professional Staff member Romano Muniz (FL Delta) is on site this Fall semester
recruiting a group of student leaders who will serve as the men who revitalize this once great chapter Romano is identifying
student leaders on campus that are serious about their academics deliberate about their development as young leaders and that
are service minded Stay tuned for future updates from what should soon become a very strong chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
Temple University
PA Alpha Delta burst back into the Pi Lambda Phi spotlight in the Fall of 2009 after having been an inactive chapter since 2007 The
dedication of the PA Alpha Delta Alumni association paired with the expertise former Director of Expansion Ian Lowe brought to
the table led to a very successful re-colonization
Twenty-six men were recruited to re-colonize this chapter and within their first year back were able to raise over $1500 for
philanthropies volunteered hundreds of hours of service to the community and sought involvement with a variety of organizations
and clubs on campus PA Alpha Delta has aspirations of being a top chapter within the coming years and we think they have the
foundation to do just that
University of Virginia
Thanks in large part to the dedication of the VA Omega Alpha Alumni and through the work of Ian Lowe (who served as Director
of Expansion) we were able to Ensure the Longevity of our VA Omega Alpha chapter when the charter became jeopardized after a
series of incidents resulted in the chapter losing recognition with the school in the spring of 2008
That following fall semester with the support of the Alumni Ian was able to launch a re-organization effort Over the course of the
re-organization effort we were able to recruit 24 new brothers who helped lead VA Omega Alpha into a new era
By the end of the spring 2010 semester that chapter had increased to a brotherhood of 43 men and was recognized at the 2010
Summer Convention as a top 5 finalist for Outstanding Chapter of the year thanks in part to the chapterlsquos operational success and
their emphasis on academics leadership and service to the community A bright future is in the works for VA Omega Alpha

Ensuring the Longevity (restarts)
Over the past two years we have no less than six success stories when our professional stafflsquos
―know how was combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and Treasure The specific results for
five of these success stories follow By partnering with university administrators our combined
efforts (professional staff and Alumni) recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new
campus It is important to point out we are in the process of saving four more charters

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge
platform was selected to power Pi Lambda
Phi University If you have learning design
experience or just want to learn more

Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the

The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as

recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Strategic Plan
One of my last significant responsibilities was
to prepare an appropriate succession plan
before transitioning the Presidentlsquos gavel
Successful transitions need to be well
thought-out and this strategic plan is
particularly important
Pi Lambda Phi has experienced a disturbing
membership trend (see graph) over the last
two decades Since the early 1990lsquos
undergraduate membership and chapter roll
has dropped steadily Although we have
regained control of the downward trend we cannot settle for stability Our leadership
team is committed to reversing this
trajectory and Ensuring the Longevity of Pi

the strategic plan are announced in this issue

Educational Foundation leadership teams
worked hard to develop a singular long-term
strategic plan and the complimentary
programs to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda
Phi We decided The Frater provided the best
means to announce the strategic plan and
programs so we delayed production We
also decided to switch publication of our
magazine to an online format starting
immediately To learn more about these
decisions read the next article Wherersquos

Alumni with Inactive Chapters
We understand many Alumni no longer have
active undergraduate chapters I know all
too well how this feels as my chapter
(Illinois) is now inactive Let me be clear
there is only one Brotherhood Although
much of what we write about centers
around active chapters please know you
are an integra l part of the
Fraternity Active chapter or not we are
all equal in this Brotherhood
2011 Leadership Surveys
To better understand the unique situations
and interests of all members I strongly
encourage participation in a short survey
series 2011 Leadership Surveys (pg 6)
Our leadership team needs more
information to Ensure the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi
Call to Duty
For too long we have allowed ourselves to
drift apart Divided we cannot advance
our beautiful Creed or remain strong for
our undergraduate brethren Hence we
need you to consider recommitting to our
Fraternity and renewing your commitment
to our cause for the Good and Welfare of
Pi Lambda Phi
It is in this spirit for the Good and
Welfare that we can Ensure the Longevity
by Growing Healthy Chapters Today and
Building the Foundation of Our Future The
benefits extrapolate into every alumnuslsquo
life with new and exciting ways to
celebrate and Live The Creed

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
We all reflect back on our undergraduate
days with distinct memories of Pi Lambda
Phi Fraternity For some the Creed and our
Founding Fatherlsquos vision to break down
barriers between people remains an integral
part of your life Others were provided one
of their first leadership opportunities within
your chapter and the experience helped
establish the man you are today For all of us
the friendships that we formed will be
treasured for a lifetime We all remember
the confidence we gained the life lessons we
learned the smiles and laughter and
especially the common bonds of
Brotherhood from our undergraduate days
It is natural for us to desire young men to
have a similar experience in our chapters
today It is also natural for us to have an interest in having a Pilam chapter on our
campus if our chapter is not active We want
students of today and tomorrow to share
our experiences We want Pilam to live and
grow beyond where we were and are today
People like to be a part of a winning team
We see this in business sports community
movements and throughout organizations
across cultures and industries Winning is
certainly not everything but the desire to
make progress ability to set a target align
resources and celebrate successes along the
journey helps provide a winning attitude and
spirit that contributes to the team
accomplishing more than we initially
expected When we are invested in a cause
that we love like Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity
we enjoy the challenges through the journey
of progress
We are very excited to announce the launch
of our Undergraduate Growth Initiative Healthy
Chapters Today - Growing Chapters Tomorrow

Building the
Foundation for
Our Future
by Chip Luman
Following Brother Scotts theme of
transition I want to share how the
Trustees will help Build the Foundation for
Our Future
First all Fraternity segments are as well
aligned as ever The IEC Advisory Board
EF numerous long-time contributing
Alumni International Headquarters and
2010 Leadership Delegates have already
rallied around the strategic plan Brother
Scott referenced earlier
Many contributed toward the development
of the aforementioned long-term plan
which was facilitated by Dan Jeff and I The
strategic plan will maximize resources and
re-focus efforts to Ensure the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi Fraternity Of course success
depends on execution and the efforts of
brothers like you
I write with two simple requests First
reflect upon what Pi Lambda Phi has meant
to you as an undergraduate as an Alumni
and what it will mean to you in the future
Second ask yourself What can I do to
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The Trustees will help Build the Foundation
for Our Future by focusing on six initiatives
Of course these are in addition to fraternal
communications The six areas are
1 Kovner Corps (Volunteerism)
2 The Elimination of Prejudice
3 Pi Lambda Phi University
4 Unrestricted Fundraising Initiatives
5 Chapter Specific Fundraising Initiatives
6 Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
Join me on Page 10 for more details and
consider which initiative is right for you
Itlsquos a Great time to Build Our Foundation

The Elimination of Prejudice by Bill Sandre
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP) is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative and aligns educational programming
and fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it has become commonplace for Greek Letter organizations to
name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Leonard the Educational Foundation originally sponsored the annual program at the
University of Wisconsin The University of Michigan (1998) and North Carolina State University (2000) also
participated in subsequent years Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non Pilam undergraduate students
Contest winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott IEC President and Chip Luman Educational Foundation President appointed a joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can expect program details and launch
early October you should know The Elimination Prejudice will be an independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying differences
between people that prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-key program management services marketing collateral chapter
branded online fundraising page online donation collection management and reporting judge support tools
and award distribution Chapters will be responsible for recruiting judges contest marketing fundraising and
award presentations Local contest winners will advance to a national competition which will be administered
by the Fraternity The overall winner will be announced at the Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
The Creed of
Pi Lambda Phi
Fraternity
That all men are created
free and equal
That no society of men can
flourish unless members of
that society are endowed
with the opportunities and
privileges of freedom
That freedom implies the
elimination of prejudice
- that the elimination of
prejudice means a better
understanding twixt men
That it is incumbent upon
me to fight for such
freedom even with my life
That it is incumbent upon
me in my personal life
to be devoted to
the highest standards of
honesty and justice
That because my country is
dedicated to the highest
standards of freedom and
justice for all men of all
creeds I hereby pledge
allegiance to my country
and to its national symbol
Initiation Year vs Graduation Year A Brotherhood Referendum
The debate has raged for decades
Some chapters prefer to notate brothers
Initiation Year after a memberlsquos name and others
prefer Graduation Year (from their respective college or university)
The International Executive Councils Executive
Board decided to use the 2011 Leadership
Survey Part II as a brotherhood referendum on
the issue The second of a three part survey
series is scheduled to be launched early October
As long as the online survey achieves a 5
response rate the majority decides which
standard will be adopted by the International
Headquarters
The Fraternitylsquos Facebook amp LinkedIn sites serve
as forums for discussion
Itlsquos a Great time to Decide
2011 Leadership Surveys
The Fraternity launched a three part 2011 Leadership
Survey series August 27 2010 Almost 9000 registered
Alumni and student members were sent access to Part I
At the time this article was composed only a couple
more completed surveys were needed to achieve a 5
response rate A truly amazing level of engagement
Preliminary results includes over 160 Alumni requested
volunteer roles and 24 applied for an open Leadership
Consultant position
Equally as important over 400 new ideas were generated
for each of the surveylsquos primary questions
1) How to increase volunteerism
2) How to graduate more Pilams
3) How to Eliminate Prejudice
Part II is scheduled to be launched early October
Comprehensive results will be available early January
Itlsquos a Great time to Participate

Adelphi University
In the fall of 2009 a group of students at Adelphi University in Garden City NY contacted the International Headquarters with
aspirations of re-starting our inactive Chapter of NY Phi Lambda We were thrilled with the opportunity to re-launch this great
chapter Through the combined efforts of professional staff members as well as through the diligent work of a core group of NY
Phi Lambda Alumni like Ted Demetriou Marvin Soskil Alan Markowitz and Charlie Kaufman (to name just a few) we were able to
successfully re-colonize an undergraduate group at Adelphi University during the spring 2010 semester
In one short semester the group brought in 19 men and participated in a variety of community service and raised over $800 for
various philanthropies The members of this newly recognized group also achieved a group GPA of 34 during the Spring 2010
semester We expect great things out of this up and coming colony
Lock Haven University
There was a lot to cheer about this summer including the Chartering of PA Gamma Psi at Lock Haven University Our group at
Lock Haven overcame some obstacles over the past few years and was able to celebrate a journey well worth the outcome This
chapter is now one of the largest fraternities on campus and is continually trying to represent Pi Lambda Phi while making a positive
difference at Lock Haven Their ―Ms Haven Pageant has become a great tradition that is not only fun for the student body but
also used as a way to raise money for philanthropic causes As noted at this chapterlsquos chartering banquet this is only just the
beginning of what should be many years of continued success for PA Gamma Psi
Salisbury State University
During the spring 2010 semester the future of our MD Kappa Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was uncertain as membership
dwindled and recognition with the school was all but lost Through the commitment and dedication of our International
Headquarters and a core group of Alumni from the MD Kappa Delta chapter we were able to save the charter and launch a re-
organization effort before it was too late Professional Staff member Romano Muniz (FL Delta) is on site this Fall semester
recruiting a group of student leaders who will serve as the men who revitalize this once great chapter Romano is identifying
student leaders on campus that are serious about their academics deliberate about their development as young leaders and that
are service minded Stay tuned for future updates from what should soon become a very strong chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
Temple University
PA Alpha Delta burst back into the Pi Lambda Phi spotlight in the Fall of 2009 after having been an inactive chapter since 2007 The
dedication of the PA Alpha Delta Alumni association paired with the expertise former Director of Expansion Ian Lowe brought to
the table led to a very successful re-colonization
Twenty-six men were recruited to re-colonize this chapter and within their first year back were able to raise over $1500 for
philanthropies volunteered hundreds of hours of service to the community and sought involvement with a variety of organizations
and clubs on campus PA Alpha Delta has aspirations of being a top chapter within the coming years and we think they have the
foundation to do just that
University of Virginia
Thanks in large part to the dedication of the VA Omega Alpha Alumni and through the work of Ian Lowe (who served as Director
of Expansion) we were able to Ensure the Longevity of our VA Omega Alpha chapter when the charter became jeopardized after a
series of incidents resulted in the chapter losing recognition with the school in the spring of 2008
That following fall semester with the support of the Alumni Ian was able to launch a re-organization effort Over the course of the
re-organization effort we were able to recruit 24 new brothers who helped lead VA Omega Alpha into a new era
By the end of the spring 2010 semester that chapter had increased to a brotherhood of 43 men and was recognized at the 2010
Summer Convention as a top 5 finalist for Outstanding Chapter of the year thanks in part to the chapterlsquos operational success and
their emphasis on academics leadership and service to the community A bright future is in the works for VA Omega Alpha

Ensuring the Longevity (restarts)
Over the past two years we have no less than six success stories when our professional stafflsquos
―know how was combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and Treasure The specific results for
five of these success stories follow By partnering with university administrators our combined
efforts (professional staff and Alumni) recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new
campus It is important to point out we are in the process of saving four more charters

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting

chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits

may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

actively involved in the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine and was a member of the
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity [1] In 1939 he collaborated on the screenplay for Winter Carnival a light
comedy set at Dartmouth One of his collaborators was F Scott Fitzgerald who was fired because

While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American

that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists

PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which
defeated Secretariat in the Woodward Stakes in September 1973 Handsome Boy which defeated Buckpasser in the Brooklyn

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
We all reflect back on our undergraduate
days with distinct memories of Pi Lambda
Phi Fraternity For some the Creed and our
Founding Fatherlsquos vision to break down
barriers between people remains an integral
part of your life Others were provided one
of their first leadership opportunities within
your chapter and the experience helped
establish the man you are today For all of us
the friendships that we formed will be
treasured for a lifetime We all remember
the confidence we gained the life lessons we
learned the smiles and laughter and
especially the common bonds of
Brotherhood from our undergraduate days
It is natural for us to desire young men to
have a similar experience in our chapters
today It is also natural for us to have an interest in having a Pilam chapter on our
campus if our chapter is not active We want
students of today and tomorrow to share
our experiences We want Pilam to live and
grow beyond where we were and are today
People like to be a part of a winning team
We see this in business sports community
movements and throughout organizations
across cultures and industries Winning is
certainly not everything but the desire to
make progress ability to set a target align
resources and celebrate successes along the
journey helps provide a winning attitude and
spirit that contributes to the team
accomplishing more than we initially
expected When we are invested in a cause
that we love like Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity
we enjoy the challenges through the journey
of progress
We are very excited to announce the launch
of our Undergraduate Growth Initiative Healthy

Building the
Foundation for
Our Future
by Chip Luman
Following Brother Scotts theme of
transition I want to share how the
Trustees will help Build the Foundation for
Our Future
First all Fraternity segments are as well
aligned as ever The IEC Advisory Board
EF numerous long-time contributing
Alumni International Headquarters and
2010 Leadership Delegates have already
rallied around the strategic plan Brother
Scott referenced earlier
Many contributed toward the development
of the aforementioned long-term plan
which was facilitated by Dan Jeff and I The
strategic plan will maximize resources and
re-focus efforts to Ensure the Longevity of Pi
Lambda Phi Fraternity Of course success
depends on execution and the efforts of
brothers like you
I write with two simple requests First
reflect upon what Pi Lambda Phi has meant
to you as an undergraduate as an Alumni
and what it will mean to you in the future
Second ask yourself What can I do to
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The Trustees will help Build the Foundation
for Our Future by focusing on six initiatives
Of course these are in addition to fraternal
communications The six areas are
1 Kovner Corps (Volunteerism)
2 The Elimination of Prejudice
3 Pi Lambda Phi University
4 Unrestricted Fundraising Initiatives
5 Chapter Specific Fundraising Initiatives
6 Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
Join me on Page 10 for more details and

Even the strongest and most successful brands occasionally need to be refocused refreshed and revitalized Pi Lambda Phi has three
brands that could use reinvention The Frater Tripod and The Elimination of Prejudice Brothers can choose to help reposition and

The Elimination of Prejudice by Bill Sandre
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP) is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative and aligns educational programming
and fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it has become commonplace for Greek Letter organizations to
name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Leonard the Educational Foundation originally sponsored the annual program at the
University of Wisconsin The University of Michigan (1998) and North Carolina State University (2000) also
participated in subsequent years Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non Pilam undergraduate students
Contest winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott IEC President and Chip Luman Educational Foundation President appointed a joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can expect program details and launch
early October you should know The Elimination Prejudice will be an independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying differences
between people that prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-key program management services marketing collateral chapter
branded online fundraising page online donation collection management and reporting judge support tools
and award distribution Chapters will be responsible for recruiting judges contest marketing fundraising and
award presentations Local contest winners will advance to a national competition which will be administered
by the Fraternity The overall winner will be announced at the Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
The Creed of
Pi Lambda Phi
Fraternity
That all men are created
free and equal
That no society of men can
flourish unless members of
that society are endowed
with the opportunities and
privileges of freedom
That freedom implies the
elimination of prejudice
- that the elimination of
prejudice means a better
understanding twixt men
That it is incumbent upon
me to fight for such
freedom even with my life
That it is incumbent upon
me in my personal life
to be devoted to
the highest standards of
honesty and justice
That because my country is
dedicated to the highest
standards of freedom and
justice for all men of all
creeds I hereby pledge
allegiance to my country
and to its national symbol
Initiation Year vs Graduation Year A Brotherhood Referendum
The debate has raged for decades
Some chapters prefer to notate brothers
Initiation Year after a memberlsquos name and others
prefer Graduation Year (from their respective college or university)
The International Executive Councils Executive
Board decided to use the 2011 Leadership
Survey Part II as a brotherhood referendum on
the issue The second of a three part survey
series is scheduled to be launched early October
As long as the online survey achieves a 5
response rate the majority decides which
standard will be adopted by the International
Headquarters
The Fraternitylsquos Facebook amp LinkedIn sites serve
as forums for discussion
Itlsquos a Great time to Decide
2011 Leadership Surveys
The Fraternity launched a three part 2011 Leadership
Survey series August 27 2010 Almost 9000 registered
Alumni and student members were sent access to Part I
At the time this article was composed only a couple
more completed surveys were needed to achieve a 5
response rate A truly amazing level of engagement
Preliminary results includes over 160 Alumni requested
volunteer roles and 24 applied for an open Leadership
Consultant position
Equally as important over 400 new ideas were generated
for each of the surveylsquos primary questions
1) How to increase volunteerism
2) How to graduate more Pilams
3) How to Eliminate Prejudice
Part II is scheduled to be launched early October
Comprehensive results will be available early January
Itlsquos a Great time to Participate

Adelphi University
In the fall of 2009 a group of students at Adelphi University in Garden City NY contacted the International Headquarters with
aspirations of re-starting our inactive Chapter of NY Phi Lambda We were thrilled with the opportunity to re-launch this great
chapter Through the combined efforts of professional staff members as well as through the diligent work of a core group of NY
Phi Lambda Alumni like Ted Demetriou Marvin Soskil Alan Markowitz and Charlie Kaufman (to name just a few) we were able to
successfully re-colonize an undergraduate group at Adelphi University during the spring 2010 semester
In one short semester the group brought in 19 men and participated in a variety of community service and raised over $800 for
various philanthropies The members of this newly recognized group also achieved a group GPA of 34 during the Spring 2010
semester We expect great things out of this up and coming colony
Lock Haven University
There was a lot to cheer about this summer including the Chartering of PA Gamma Psi at Lock Haven University Our group at
Lock Haven overcame some obstacles over the past few years and was able to celebrate a journey well worth the outcome This
chapter is now one of the largest fraternities on campus and is continually trying to represent Pi Lambda Phi while making a positive
difference at Lock Haven Their ―Ms Haven Pageant has become a great tradition that is not only fun for the student body but
also used as a way to raise money for philanthropic causes As noted at this chapterlsquos chartering banquet this is only just the
beginning of what should be many years of continued success for PA Gamma Psi
Salisbury State University
During the spring 2010 semester the future of our MD Kappa Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was uncertain as membership
dwindled and recognition with the school was all but lost Through the commitment and dedication of our International
Headquarters and a core group of Alumni from the MD Kappa Delta chapter we were able to save the charter and launch a re-
organization effort before it was too late Professional Staff member Romano Muniz (FL Delta) is on site this Fall semester
recruiting a group of student leaders who will serve as the men who revitalize this once great chapter Romano is identifying
student leaders on campus that are serious about their academics deliberate about their development as young leaders and that
are service minded Stay tuned for future updates from what should soon become a very strong chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
Temple University
PA Alpha Delta burst back into the Pi Lambda Phi spotlight in the Fall of 2009 after having been an inactive chapter since 2007 The
dedication of the PA Alpha Delta Alumni association paired with the expertise former Director of Expansion Ian Lowe brought to
the table led to a very successful re-colonization
Twenty-six men were recruited to re-colonize this chapter and within their first year back were able to raise over $1500 for
philanthropies volunteered hundreds of hours of service to the community and sought involvement with a variety of organizations
and clubs on campus PA Alpha Delta has aspirations of being a top chapter within the coming years and we think they have the
foundation to do just that
University of Virginia
Thanks in large part to the dedication of the VA Omega Alpha Alumni and through the work of Ian Lowe (who served as Director
of Expansion) we were able to Ensure the Longevity of our VA Omega Alpha chapter when the charter became jeopardized after a
series of incidents resulted in the chapter losing recognition with the school in the spring of 2008
That following fall semester with the support of the Alumni Ian was able to launch a re-organization effort Over the course of the
re-organization effort we were able to recruit 24 new brothers who helped lead VA Omega Alpha into a new era
By the end of the spring 2010 semester that chapter had increased to a brotherhood of 43 men and was recognized at the 2010
Summer Convention as a top 5 finalist for Outstanding Chapter of the year thanks in part to the chapterlsquos operational success and
their emphasis on academics leadership and service to the community A bright future is in the works for VA Omega Alpha

Over the past two years we have no less than six success stories when our professional stafflsquos
―know how was combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and Treasure The specific results for
five of these success stories follow By partnering with university administrators our combined
efforts (professional staff and Alumni) recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)
Pilams share common bonds and
experiences that link us together our entire
lives like an appreciation for Kovners
Quote
The governing boards are looking for
accomplished men willing to Ensure the
Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi who understand
what it means to work for it sweat for it curse
it and love it as well as the men in it hellip

few volunteers We are in need of many
men of many talents to Eliminate Prejudice
and Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The benefits extrapolate into every
alumnuslsquo life with new and exciting way to
celebrate and Live the Creed
To this end we have created the Kovner
Corps established in recognition of the
prophetic words of Brother Alfred Koko
Kovner 42 alumnus of our recently re-
colonized Temple chapter
Once volunteers have completed the
application process a representative of the
Fraternity will contact each volunteer to
schedule and coordinate volunteer projects
Volunteer can also pick from fraternal needs
posted online
Please donlsquot wait for a position to be posted
to get involved Write me and we will find
somewhere to put you to work
Our Founding Fathers said it best
Itrsquos a Great time to Volunteer
The year-end edition of The Frater will cover
the second half of our Big 6 initiatives
Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
along with Unrestricted and Chapter
Specific Fundraising Initiatives
In summary we have restarted the Big Pi
Chapter granted scholarships and are
launching a matching gift campaign Until
then please consider how you can help
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

classic American archetype of naked ambition Sammy Glick in his novel ―What Makes Sammy Run
Schulberg attended Deerfield Academy and then went on to Dartmouth College where he was
actively involved in the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine and was a member of the
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity [1] In 1939 he collaborated on the screenplay for Winter Carnival a light
comedy set at Dartmouth One of his collaborators was F Scott Fitzgerald who was fired because
of his alcoholic binge during a visit with Schulberg to Dartmouth Dartmouth College awarded
Schulberg an honorary degree in 1960
While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American
Activities Committee named Schulberg as a former member of the Communist Party Schulberg testified as a friendly witness
that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists
Schulberg was also a sports writer and former chief boxing correspondent for Sports Illustrated He was inducted into the Boxing
Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his contributions to the sport
In 1965 after a devastating riot had ripped apart the fabric of the Watts section of Los Angeles Schulberg formed the Watts
Writers Workshop in an attempt to ease frustrations and bring artistic training to the economically impoverished district
He passed into Chapter Eternal on August 5 2009
PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which
defeated Secretariat in the Woodward Stakes in September 1973 Handsome Boy which defeated Buckpasser in the Brooklyn

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

The Elimination of Prejudice by Bill Sandre
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP) is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative and aligns educational programming
and fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it has become commonplace for Greek Letter organizations to
name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Leonard the Educational Foundation originally sponsored the annual program at the
University of Wisconsin The University of Michigan (1998) and North Carolina State University (2000) also
participated in subsequent years Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non Pilam undergraduate students
Contest winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott IEC President and Chip Luman Educational Foundation President appointed a joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can expect program details and launch
early October you should know The Elimination Prejudice will be an independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying differences
between people that prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-key program management services marketing collateral chapter
branded online fundraising page online donation collection management and reporting judge support tools
and award distribution Chapters will be responsible for recruiting judges contest marketing fundraising and
award presentations Local contest winners will advance to a national competition which will be administered
by the Fraternity The overall winner will be announced at the Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
The Creed of
Pi Lambda Phi
Fraternity
That all men are created
free and equal
That no society of men can
flourish unless members of
that society are endowed
with the opportunities and
privileges of freedom
That freedom implies the
elimination of prejudice
- that the elimination of
prejudice means a better
understanding twixt men
That it is incumbent upon
me to fight for such
freedom even with my life
That it is incumbent upon
me in my personal life
to be devoted to
the highest standards of
honesty and justice
That because my country is
dedicated to the highest
standards of freedom and
justice for all men of all
creeds I hereby pledge
allegiance to my country
and to its national symbol
Initiation Year vs Graduation Year A Brotherhood Referendum
The debate has raged for decades
Some chapters prefer to notate brothers
Initiation Year after a memberlsquos name and others
prefer Graduation Year (from their respective college or university)
The International Executive Councils Executive
Board decided to use the 2011 Leadership
Survey Part II as a brotherhood referendum on
the issue The second of a three part survey
series is scheduled to be launched early October
As long as the online survey achieves a 5
response rate the majority decides which
standard will be adopted by the International
Headquarters
The Fraternitylsquos Facebook amp LinkedIn sites serve
as forums for discussion
Itlsquos a Great time to Decide
2011 Leadership Surveys
The Fraternity launched a three part 2011 Leadership
Survey series August 27 2010 Almost 9000 registered
Alumni and student members were sent access to Part I
At the time this article was composed only a couple
more completed surveys were needed to achieve a 5
response rate A truly amazing level of engagement
Preliminary results includes over 160 Alumni requested
volunteer roles and 24 applied for an open Leadership
Consultant position
Equally as important over 400 new ideas were generated
for each of the surveylsquos primary questions
1) How to increase volunteerism
2) How to graduate more Pilams
3) How to Eliminate Prejudice
Part II is scheduled to be launched early October
Comprehensive results will be available early January
Itlsquos a Great time to Participate

Adelphi University
In the fall of 2009 a group of students at Adelphi University in Garden City NY contacted the International Headquarters with
aspirations of re-starting our inactive Chapter of NY Phi Lambda We were thrilled with the opportunity to re-launch this great
chapter Through the combined efforts of professional staff members as well as through the diligent work of a core group of NY
Phi Lambda Alumni like Ted Demetriou Marvin Soskil Alan Markowitz and Charlie Kaufman (to name just a few) we were able to
successfully re-colonize an undergraduate group at Adelphi University during the spring 2010 semester
In one short semester the group brought in 19 men and participated in a variety of community service and raised over $800 for
various philanthropies The members of this newly recognized group also achieved a group GPA of 34 during the Spring 2010
semester We expect great things out of this up and coming colony
Lock Haven University
There was a lot to cheer about this summer including the Chartering of PA Gamma Psi at Lock Haven University Our group at
Lock Haven overcame some obstacles over the past few years and was able to celebrate a journey well worth the outcome This
chapter is now one of the largest fraternities on campus and is continually trying to represent Pi Lambda Phi while making a positive
difference at Lock Haven Their ―Ms Haven Pageant has become a great tradition that is not only fun for the student body but
also used as a way to raise money for philanthropic causes As noted at this chapterlsquos chartering banquet this is only just the
beginning of what should be many years of continued success for PA Gamma Psi
Salisbury State University
During the spring 2010 semester the future of our MD Kappa Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was uncertain as membership
dwindled and recognition with the school was all but lost Through the commitment and dedication of our International
Headquarters and a core group of Alumni from the MD Kappa Delta chapter we were able to save the charter and launch a re-
organization effort before it was too late Professional Staff member Romano Muniz (FL Delta) is on site this Fall semester
recruiting a group of student leaders who will serve as the men who revitalize this once great chapter Romano is identifying
student leaders on campus that are serious about their academics deliberate about their development as young leaders and that
are service minded Stay tuned for future updates from what should soon become a very strong chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
Temple University
PA Alpha Delta burst back into the Pi Lambda Phi spotlight in the Fall of 2009 after having been an inactive chapter since 2007 The
dedication of the PA Alpha Delta Alumni association paired with the expertise former Director of Expansion Ian Lowe brought to
the table led to a very successful re-colonization
Twenty-six men were recruited to re-colonize this chapter and within their first year back were able to raise over $1500 for
philanthropies volunteered hundreds of hours of service to the community and sought involvement with a variety of organizations
and clubs on campus PA Alpha Delta has aspirations of being a top chapter within the coming years and we think they have the
foundation to do just that
University of Virginia
Thanks in large part to the dedication of the VA Omega Alpha Alumni and through the work of Ian Lowe (who served as Director
of Expansion) we were able to Ensure the Longevity of our VA Omega Alpha chapter when the charter became jeopardized after a
series of incidents resulted in the chapter losing recognition with the school in the spring of 2008
That following fall semester with the support of the Alumni Ian was able to launch a re-organization effort Over the course of the
re-organization effort we were able to recruit 24 new brothers who helped lead VA Omega Alpha into a new era
By the end of the spring 2010 semester that chapter had increased to a brotherhood of 43 men and was recognized at the 2010
Summer Convention as a top 5 finalist for Outstanding Chapter of the year thanks in part to the chapterlsquos operational success and
their emphasis on academics leadership and service to the community A bright future is in the works for VA Omega Alpha

Ensuring the Longevity (restarts)
Over the past two years we have no less than six success stories when our professional stafflsquos
―know how was combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and Treasure The specific results for
five of these success stories follow By partnering with university administrators our combined
efforts (professional staff and Alumni) recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new
campus It is important to point out we are in the process of saving four more charters

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)
Pilams share common bonds and
experiences that link us together our entire
lives like an appreciation for Kovners
Quote
The governing boards are looking for
accomplished men willing to Ensure the
Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi who understand
what it means to work for it sweat for it curse
it and love it as well as the men in it hellip
We are a volunteer organization with too
few volunteers We are in need of many
men of many talents to Eliminate Prejudice
and Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The benefits extrapolate into every
alumnuslsquo life with new and exciting way to
celebrate and Live the Creed
To this end we have created the Kovner
Corps established in recognition of the
prophetic words of Brother Alfred Koko
Kovner 42 alumnus of our recently re-
colonized Temple chapter
Once volunteers have completed the
application process a representative of the
Fraternity will contact each volunteer to
schedule and coordinate volunteer projects
Volunteer can also pick from fraternal needs
posted online
Please donlsquot wait for a position to be posted
to get involved Write me and we will find
somewhere to put you to work
Our Founding Fathers said it best
Itrsquos a Great time to Volunteer
The year-end edition of The Frater will cover
the second half of our Big 6 initiatives
Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
along with Unrestricted and Chapter
Specific Fundraising Initiatives
In summary we have restarted the Big Pi
Chapter granted scholarships and are
launching a matching gift campaign Until
then please consider how you can help
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by
registering at wwwpilambdaphiorg and
provide whatever financial andor volunteer
support you can

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

NH Pi Dartmouth Budd Schulberg Big Pi 1950
Budd Shulberg who wrote the award-winning screenplay for ―On the Waterfront and created a
classic American archetype of naked ambition Sammy Glick in his novel ―What Makes Sammy Run
Schulberg attended Deerfield Academy and then went on to Dartmouth College where he was
actively involved in the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine and was a member of the
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity [1] In 1939 he collaborated on the screenplay for Winter Carnival a light
comedy set at Dartmouth One of his collaborators was F Scott Fitzgerald who was fired because
of his alcoholic binge during a visit with Schulberg to Dartmouth Dartmouth College awarded
Schulberg an honorary degree in 1960
While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American
Activities Committee named Schulberg as a former member of the Communist Party Schulberg testified as a friendly witness
that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists
Schulberg was also a sports writer and former chief boxing correspondent for Sports Illustrated He was inducted into the Boxing
Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his contributions to the sport
In 1965 after a devastating riot had ripped apart the fabric of the Watts section of Los Angeles Schulberg formed the Watts

He passed into Chapter Eternal on August 5 2009
PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

The Elimination of Prejudice by Bill Sandre
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP) is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative and aligns educational programming
and fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it has become commonplace for Greek Letter organizations to
name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Leonard the Educational Foundation originally sponsored the annual program at the
University of Wisconsin The University of Michigan (1998) and North Carolina State University (2000) also
participated in subsequent years Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non Pilam undergraduate students
Contest winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott IEC President and Chip Luman Educational Foundation President appointed a joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can expect program details and launch
early October you should know The Elimination Prejudice will be an independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting community change by addressing the underlying differences
between people that prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-key program management services marketing collateral chapter
branded online fundraising page online donation collection management and reporting judge support tools
and award distribution Chapters will be responsible for recruiting judges contest marketing fundraising and
award presentations Local contest winners will advance to a national competition which will be administered
by the Fraternity The overall winner will be announced at the Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
The Creed of
Pi Lambda Phi
Fraternity
That all men are created
free and equal
That no society of men can
flourish unless members of
that society are endowed
with the opportunities and
privileges of freedom
That freedom implies the
elimination of prejudice
- that the elimination of
prejudice means a better
understanding twixt men
That it is incumbent upon
me to fight for such
freedom even with my life
That it is incumbent upon
me in my personal life
to be devoted to
the highest standards of
honesty and justice
That because my country is
dedicated to the highest
standards of freedom and
justice for all men of all
creeds I hereby pledge
allegiance to my country
and to its national symbol
Initiation Year vs Graduation Year A Brotherhood Referendum
The debate has raged for decades
Some chapters prefer to notate brothers
Initiation Year after a memberlsquos name and others
prefer Graduation Year (from their respective college or university)
The International Executive Councils Executive
Board decided to use the 2011 Leadership
Survey Part II as a brotherhood referendum on
the issue The second of a three part survey
series is scheduled to be launched early October
As long as the online survey achieves a 5
response rate the majority decides which
standard will be adopted by the International
Headquarters
The Fraternitylsquos Facebook amp LinkedIn sites serve
as forums for discussion
Itlsquos a Great time to Decide
2011 Leadership Surveys
The Fraternity launched a three part 2011 Leadership
Survey series August 27 2010 Almost 9000 registered
Alumni and student members were sent access to Part I
At the time this article was composed only a couple
more completed surveys were needed to achieve a 5
response rate A truly amazing level of engagement
Preliminary results includes over 160 Alumni requested
volunteer roles and 24 applied for an open Leadership
Consultant position
Equally as important over 400 new ideas were generated
for each of the surveylsquos primary questions
1) How to increase volunteerism
2) How to graduate more Pilams
3) How to Eliminate Prejudice
Part II is scheduled to be launched early October
Comprehensive results will be available early January
Itlsquos a Great time to Participate

Adelphi University
In the fall of 2009 a group of students at Adelphi University in Garden City NY contacted the International Headquarters with
aspirations of re-starting our inactive Chapter of NY Phi Lambda We were thrilled with the opportunity to re-launch this great
chapter Through the combined efforts of professional staff members as well as through the diligent work of a core group of NY
Phi Lambda Alumni like Ted Demetriou Marvin Soskil Alan Markowitz and Charlie Kaufman (to name just a few) we were able to
successfully re-colonize an undergraduate group at Adelphi University during the spring 2010 semester
In one short semester the group brought in 19 men and participated in a variety of community service and raised over $800 for
various philanthropies The members of this newly recognized group also achieved a group GPA of 34 during the Spring 2010
semester We expect great things out of this up and coming colony
Lock Haven University
There was a lot to cheer about this summer including the Chartering of PA Gamma Psi at Lock Haven University Our group at
Lock Haven overcame some obstacles over the past few years and was able to celebrate a journey well worth the outcome This
chapter is now one of the largest fraternities on campus and is continually trying to represent Pi Lambda Phi while making a positive
difference at Lock Haven Their ―Ms Haven Pageant has become a great tradition that is not only fun for the student body but
also used as a way to raise money for philanthropic causes As noted at this chapterlsquos chartering banquet this is only just the
beginning of what should be many years of continued success for PA Gamma Psi
Salisbury State University
During the spring 2010 semester the future of our MD Kappa Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was uncertain as membership
dwindled and recognition with the school was all but lost Through the commitment and dedication of our International
Headquarters and a core group of Alumni from the MD Kappa Delta chapter we were able to save the charter and launch a re-
organization effort before it was too late Professional Staff member Romano Muniz (FL Delta) is on site this Fall semester
recruiting a group of student leaders who will serve as the men who revitalize this once great chapter Romano is identifying
student leaders on campus that are serious about their academics deliberate about their development as young leaders and that
are service minded Stay tuned for future updates from what should soon become a very strong chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
Temple University
PA Alpha Delta burst back into the Pi Lambda Phi spotlight in the Fall of 2009 after having been an inactive chapter since 2007 The
dedication of the PA Alpha Delta Alumni association paired with the expertise former Director of Expansion Ian Lowe brought to
the table led to a very successful re-colonization
Twenty-six men were recruited to re-colonize this chapter and within their first year back were able to raise over $1500 for
philanthropies volunteered hundreds of hours of service to the community and sought involvement with a variety of organizations
and clubs on campus PA Alpha Delta has aspirations of being a top chapter within the coming years and we think they have the
foundation to do just that
University of Virginia
Thanks in large part to the dedication of the VA Omega Alpha Alumni and through the work of Ian Lowe (who served as Director
of Expansion) we were able to Ensure the Longevity of our VA Omega Alpha chapter when the charter became jeopardized after a
series of incidents resulted in the chapter losing recognition with the school in the spring of 2008
That following fall semester with the support of the Alumni Ian was able to launch a re-organization effort Over the course of the
re-organization effort we were able to recruit 24 new brothers who helped lead VA Omega Alpha into a new era
By the end of the spring 2010 semester that chapter had increased to a brotherhood of 43 men and was recognized at the 2010
Summer Convention as a top 5 finalist for Outstanding Chapter of the year thanks in part to the chapterlsquos operational success and
their emphasis on academics leadership and service to the community A bright future is in the works for VA Omega Alpha

Ensuring the Longevity (restarts)
Over the past two years we have no less than six success stories when our professional stafflsquos
―know how was combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and Treasure The specific results for
five of these success stories follow By partnering with university administrators our combined
efforts (professional staff and Alumni) recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new
campus It is important to point out we are in the process of saving four more charters

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of

Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

classic American archetype of naked ambition Sammy Glick in his novel ―What Makes Sammy Run

actively involved in the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine and was a member of the
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity [1] In 1939 he collaborated on the screenplay for Winter Carnival a light
comedy set at Dartmouth One of his collaborators was F Scott Fitzgerald who was fired because
of his alcoholic binge during a visit with Schulberg to Dartmouth Dartmouth College awarded
Schulberg an honorary degree in 1960
While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American
Activities Committee named Schulberg as a former member of the Communist Party Schulberg testified as a friendly witness
that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists

Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his contributions to the sport
In 1965 after a devastating riot had ripped apart the fabric of the Watts section of Los Angeles Schulberg formed the Watts

PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which
defeated Secretariat in the Woodward Stakes in September 1973 Handsome Boy which defeated Buckpasser in the Brooklyn
Handicap in July 1967 Blessing Angelica (mare) which won the Delaware Handicap in 1971 and 1972

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Adelphi University
In the fall of 2009 a group of students at Adelphi University in Garden City NY contacted the International Headquarters with
aspirations of re-starting our inactive Chapter of NY Phi Lambda We were thrilled with the opportunity to re-launch this great
chapter Through the combined efforts of professional staff members as well as through the diligent work of a core group of NY
Phi Lambda Alumni like Ted Demetriou Marvin Soskil Alan Markowitz and Charlie Kaufman (to name just a few) we were able to
successfully re-colonize an undergraduate group at Adelphi University during the spring 2010 semester
In one short semester the group brought in 19 men and participated in a variety of community service and raised over $800 for
various philanthropies The members of this newly recognized group also achieved a group GPA of 34 during the Spring 2010
semester We expect great things out of this up and coming colony
Lock Haven University
There was a lot to cheer about this summer including the Chartering of PA Gamma Psi at Lock Haven University Our group at
Lock Haven overcame some obstacles over the past few years and was able to celebrate a journey well worth the outcome This
chapter is now one of the largest fraternities on campus and is continually trying to represent Pi Lambda Phi while making a positive
difference at Lock Haven Their ―Ms Haven Pageant has become a great tradition that is not only fun for the student body but
also used as a way to raise money for philanthropic causes As noted at this chapterlsquos chartering banquet this is only just the
beginning of what should be many years of continued success for PA Gamma Psi
Salisbury State University
During the spring 2010 semester the future of our MD Kappa Delta chapter of Pi Lambda Phi was uncertain as membership
dwindled and recognition with the school was all but lost Through the commitment and dedication of our International
Headquarters and a core group of Alumni from the MD Kappa Delta chapter we were able to save the charter and launch a re-
organization effort before it was too late Professional Staff member Romano Muniz (FL Delta) is on site this Fall semester
recruiting a group of student leaders who will serve as the men who revitalize this once great chapter Romano is identifying
student leaders on campus that are serious about their academics deliberate about their development as young leaders and that
are service minded Stay tuned for future updates from what should soon become a very strong chapter of Pi Lambda Phi
Temple University
PA Alpha Delta burst back into the Pi Lambda Phi spotlight in the Fall of 2009 after having been an inactive chapter since 2007 The
dedication of the PA Alpha Delta Alumni association paired with the expertise former Director of Expansion Ian Lowe brought to
the table led to a very successful re-colonization
Twenty-six men were recruited to re-colonize this chapter and within their first year back were able to raise over $1500 for
philanthropies volunteered hundreds of hours of service to the community and sought involvement with a variety of organizations
and clubs on campus PA Alpha Delta has aspirations of being a top chapter within the coming years and we think they have the
foundation to do just that
University of Virginia
Thanks in large part to the dedication of the VA Omega Alpha Alumni and through the work of Ian Lowe (who served as Director
of Expansion) we were able to Ensure the Longevity of our VA Omega Alpha chapter when the charter became jeopardized after a
series of incidents resulted in the chapter losing recognition with the school in the spring of 2008
That following fall semester with the support of the Alumni Ian was able to launch a re-organization effort Over the course of the
re-organization effort we were able to recruit 24 new brothers who helped lead VA Omega Alpha into a new era
By the end of the spring 2010 semester that chapter had increased to a brotherhood of 43 men and was recognized at the 2010
Summer Convention as a top 5 finalist for Outstanding Chapter of the year thanks in part to the chapterlsquos operational success and
their emphasis on academics leadership and service to the community A bright future is in the works for VA Omega Alpha

Ensuring the Longevity (restarts)
Over the past two years we have no less than six success stories when our professional stafflsquos
―know how was combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and Treasure The specific results for
five of these success stories follow By partnering with university administrators our combined
efforts (professional staff and Alumni) recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new
campus It is important to point out we are in the process of saving four more charters

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge
platform was selected to power Pi Lambda
Phi University If you have learning design
experience or just want to learn more

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)
Pilams share common bonds and
experiences that link us together our entire
lives like an appreciation for Kovners
Quote
The governing boards are looking for
accomplished men willing to Ensure the
Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi who understand
what it means to work for it sweat for it curse
it and love it as well as the men in it hellip
We are a volunteer organization with too
few volunteers We are in need of many
men of many talents to Eliminate Prejudice
and Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The benefits extrapolate into every
alumnuslsquo life with new and exciting way to
celebrate and Live the Creed
To this end we have created the Kovner
Corps established in recognition of the
prophetic words of Brother Alfred Koko
Kovner 42 alumnus of our recently re-
colonized Temple chapter
Once volunteers have completed the
application process a representative of the
Fraternity will contact each volunteer to
schedule and coordinate volunteer projects
Volunteer can also pick from fraternal needs
posted online
Please donlsquot wait for a position to be posted
to get involved Write me and we will find
somewhere to put you to work
Our Founding Fathers said it best
Itrsquos a Great time to Volunteer
The year-end edition of The Frater will cover
the second half of our Big 6 initiatives
Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
along with Unrestricted and Chapter
Specific Fundraising Initiatives
In summary we have restarted the Big Pi
Chapter granted scholarships and are
launching a matching gift campaign Until
then please consider how you can help
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by
registering at wwwpilambdaphiorg and
provide whatever financial andor volunteer
support you can

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals

THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops

1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Healthy Chapters
Today - Growing
Chapters Tomorrow
by Jeff Buhler
Continued from Page 4
Our Undergraduate Growth Initiative starts
with understanding where we have been
where we are today and finally where we
are going We have analyzed our historical
data of undergraduate membership to
better understand why our chapter
numbers increased or decreased during
each decade along with what drivers
influenced average chapter size We are
studying variables like Alumni involvement
continuous recruitment leadership
development and academic standards to
better understand how to provide each
chapter and expansion opportunity the
greatest opportunity for success
Over the last 20 years the number of
Pilams graduating each year has decreased (See chart pg 3) During the last two
decades our chaptercolony roster has also
decreased from gt60 to lt40 and average
chapter size from mid-30s to mid-20s Part
of this time the International Fraternity
(volunteer governing board) and
International Headquarters (professional
staff) were completely focused on survival
We had some very difficult years and if not
for the tremendous Time Talent and
Treasure invested by many great Alumni Pi
Lambda Phi might not be here today
The wonderful news is that over the last
few years our volunteers and professional
staff have worked through these challenges
and brought stability throughout our
Fraternity Some of the accomplishments
during this time are improved services to
undergraduate chapters increase in
professional staff improved financial
performance through effective budgeting
collections and cash management and most
importantly increased recruitment We have
successfully improved undergraduate
recruitment by 10 year over year the last
two years
In the last decade our Fraternity has moved
from crisis to stability and is now moving
from stability toward growth Our chapter
colony roster is back up to forty with many
revitalization and expansion opportunities in
progress (see Page 7 ndash Ensuring the Longevity
(restarts)) We have developed a lot of
―knowhow and the conditions are right for
growth Letlsquos apply what welsquove learned
The first step in our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative is to build Healthy Chapters Today
which means to Ensure the Longevity of our
current chapters
Initially we assume strong recruitment is the
primary driver of growth As one chapter
house proudly displays ―The caliber of our
chapter directly reflects the caliber of men
we recruit We all know how vital
recruitment is to our chapters but
recruitment alone wonlsquot Ensure the
Longevity Our professional staff understands
each component of chapter operations is a
critical driver toward sustainability and
growth Building Healthy Chapters Today
requires answering questions likes these
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
The answers to these questions and others
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters
Who is the ―we listed in the last few
questions Often times it is our professional
staff Sometimes it is volunteers from the
governing boards and committees As you
know many times it is a chapterlsquos local Alumni More often it needs to be you
We all have unique amounts of time talent
and treasure available to invest back into Pi
Lambda Phi and our student members
We continue to move toward an Alumni
Advisory Board (AAB) model which creates
the conditions for more interaction
between Alumni and undergraduates It
also helps Alumni contribute in manageable
and meaningful ways toward chapter
operations We are also experiencing a
growing trend of Alumni joining AABs to
support chapters other than own What a
great opportunity to share best practices
Over the past two years we have no less
than six success stories when our
professional stafflsquos ―knowhow was
combined with Alumnilsquos Time Talent and
Treasure The specific results for five of
these success stories are available on Page
7 Ensuring the Longevity (restarts) By
partnering with university administrators
our combined efforts (professional staff and
Alumni) have recently saved five charters and expanded onto one new campus It is
important to point out we are in the
process of saving four more charters Some
of our recent efforts include
Revitalize five struggling chapters by
dedicating significant resources which
included brotherhood reviews and chapter
re-education programs
Re-organizing two chapters that lost
school recognition (University of Virginia
and Salisbury State University)
Re-colonizing two inactive chapters
(Adelphi University and Temple University)
The second step in our Undergraduate
Growth Initiative is Growing Chapters
Tomorrow which means to Ensure the
Longevity by expanding onto more campuses
As we continue to build Healthy Chapters
Today we are simultaneously laying the
foundation for growth by expansion We
are in the early stages of several expansion
strategies to increase our future
opportunities
Our initial strategy includes exploring re-
colonizing at campuses where we have
interested Alumni who are ready to
contribute time talent and treasure to
restart their chapter We are also focused
on a decision matrix to effectively identify
the colleges and universities that we should
target for future expansion We know from
experience the importance of selecting
expansion opportunities with the highest
probability of long-term success
In the year-end edition of The Frater we will
talk more about our Undergraduate Growth
Initiative and Growing Chapters Tomorrow
Until then please consider how you can
help Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
Itlsquos a Great time to Grow Healthy Chapters

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)

experiences that link us together our entire
lives like an appreciation for Kovners

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

actively involved in the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine and was a member of the
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity [1] In 1939 he collaborated on the screenplay for Winter Carnival a light
comedy set at Dartmouth One of his collaborators was F Scott Fitzgerald who was fired because

While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American

that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists

Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which
defeated Secretariat in the Woodward Stakes in September 1973 Handsome Boy which defeated Buckpasser in the Brooklyn

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Building the
Foundation of
Our Foundation
by Chip Luman
Continued from page 4
As a Fraternity we find ourselves at an
exciting juncture Our Educational
Foundation l ike many nonprofit
organizations has been adversely affected by
tough economic conditions But unlike
most nonprofits we are experiencing an increasing number of men registering on
our website and social media outlets every
day In fact our Fraternitylsquos online
properties have recently helped brothers
find lost friends organize reunions revitalize
and colonize chapters collaborate in
business and even help each other find
employment In the Fraternitylsquos 2011
Leadership Survey Part I Alumni
participation exceeded 5
It goes without saying that fraternal
communication isnlsquot just about The Frater
anymore Although The Frater is a rich part
of our history and wonderful venue to share
information itlsquos a one-way conversation
thatlsquos often aged before reaching you
Fraternal communications can and should
include interactive options Besides we
want to make it easier for members to
revisit our brotherhood when itlsquos
convenient for them Thatlsquos why we have
intentionally focused our fraternal
communication efforts toward technology-
based solutions
At the heart of our Fraternitylsquos online
properties and fraternal communication
efforts is pilambdaphiorg Letlsquos consider
our website the hub in a spoke-and-hub
model The spokes are your personal
preferences for remaining connected like
emails Alumni Association and chapter
websites LinkedIn Facebook Twitter and
YouTube to name a few But if you arenlsquot
connected to the hub then itlsquos more
difficult to get information
Can I Count on You for Two Things
1) Register for site access so we can keep
you informed of fraternal business and
2) Donate $1895 or whatever you afford
to the Educational Foundation
It only takes a minute to stay connected and
help the Educational Foundation through
these tough economic conditions Brothers
with more Time Talent and Treasure let us
know what you can do Brothers with less
let us know what you can do
More specifically the Trustees will help Build
the Foundation by focusing on six key areas
Of course these areas are in addition to
fraternal communications The six areas
are
The Elimination of Prejudice (EoP)
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose
(Eliminate Prejudice) and its people
(Brotherhood) We believe that advocating
a better understanding twixt men is a
philosophy that works Our student
members go on to become valued members
of their communities confidently turning
their dreams into reality and eliminating
prejudice along the way
EoP is the Fraternitylsquos capstone initiative
and aligns educational programming and
fundraising with our Creed Furthermore it
has become commonplace for Greek Letter
organizations to name 501(c)(3) entities as their philanthropy (ie Alpha Gamma Delta
Sigma Phi Epsilon and Phi Mu)
Founded in 1996 by Jules Lennard the
Educational Foundation originally sponsored
the annual program at the University of
Wisconsin The University of Michigan
(1998) and North Carolina State University
(2000) also participated in subsequent years
Chapters facilitated an essay contest for non
Pilam undergraduate students Contest
winners were awarded a $1000 scholarship
The program lasted until 2001- 2002
In early 2010 Dan Scott and I appointed a
joint governing board committee to revitalize the program Although you can
expect program details and launch early
October you should know EoP will be an
independently branded movement The
programlsquos mission is to create long-lasting
community change by addressing the
underlying differences between people that
prevent progress
The Fraternity will provide chapters turn-
key program management services
marketing collateral chapter branded online
fundraising page online donation collection
management and reporting judge support
tools and award distribution Chapters will
be responsible for recruiting judges contest
marketing fundraising and award
presentations Local contest winners will
advance to a national competition which
will be administered by the Fraternity The
overall winner will be announced at the
Annual Leadership Convention
Itlsquos a Great time to Eliminate Prejudice
Pi Lambda Phi University
Itlsquos worth repeating Pi Lambda Phi is built
around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and
its people (Brotherhood) Of course we
believe advocating a better understanding
twixt men is a philosophy that works But
our responsibility goes beyond advocating a
philosophy I suggest it is incumbent upon
all of us to ensure our student members
arrive at the desired understanding sooner than later
And if youlsquore anything like me you probably
didnlsquot appreciate our Creed as a student
member like you do today I know Ilsquom not
alone This topic is commonplace among
Alumni regardless of chapter
Beyond our Creed teachable moments
exist everywhere Letlsquos reflect on Jefflsquos
Building Healthy Chapters Today article and
the questions posed
How well do we prepare New Members
for Brotherhood through dynamic and
effective development program
How well do we prepare newly initiated
Brothers for key committee roles and
eventually leadership positions within the
chapter
How well do we help New Members and
Brothers learn social responsibility and
appropriate risk management to minimize
safety behavioral or legal challenges
How well do we help Brothers
understand the value of proper budgeting
collections and cash management at the
chapter
How well do we provide tangible benefits
to the upperclassmen of our chapters who
may be more interested in internships
interviewing skills and networking for job
opportunities
Jeff believes the answers to these questions
will contribute significantly to the Longevity
of our chapters and I tend to agree I also
agree that we have a lot of ―knowhow
And that leads us toward one of our
greatest challenges knowledge transfer
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge
platform was selected to power Pi Lambda
Phi University If you have learning design
experience or just want to learn more

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of
Knowledge
Volunteerism (Kovner Corps)
Pilams share common bonds and
experiences that link us together our entire
lives like an appreciation for Kovners
Quote
The governing boards are looking for
accomplished men willing to Ensure the
Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi who understand
what it means to work for it sweat for it curse
it and love it as well as the men in it hellip
We are a volunteer organization with too
few volunteers We are in need of many
men of many talents to Eliminate Prejudice
and Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The benefits extrapolate into every
alumnuslsquo life with new and exciting way to
celebrate and Live the Creed
To this end we have created the Kovner
Corps established in recognition of the
prophetic words of Brother Alfred Koko
Kovner 42 alumnus of our recently re-
colonized Temple chapter
Once volunteers have completed the
application process a representative of the
Fraternity will contact each volunteer to
schedule and coordinate volunteer projects
Volunteer can also pick from fraternal needs
posted online
Please donlsquot wait for a position to be posted
to get involved Write me and we will find
somewhere to put you to work
Our Founding Fathers said it best
Itrsquos a Great time to Volunteer
The year-end edition of The Frater will cover
the second half of our Big 6 initiatives
Fraternity Honors and Scholarships
along with Unrestricted and Chapter
Specific Fundraising Initiatives
In summary we have restarted the Big Pi
Chapter granted scholarships and are
launching a matching gift campaign Until
then please consider how you can help
Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by
registering at wwwpilambdaphiorg and
provide whatever financial andor volunteer
support you can

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

classic American archetype of naked ambition Sammy Glick in his novel ―What Makes Sammy Run

actively involved in the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern humor magazine and was a member of the
Pi Lambda Phi fraternity [1] In 1939 he collaborated on the screenplay for Winter Carnival a light
comedy set at Dartmouth One of his collaborators was F Scott Fitzgerald who was fired because
of his alcoholic binge during a visit with Schulberg to Dartmouth Dartmouth College awarded
Schulberg an honorary degree in 1960
While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American

that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists

Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of his contributions to the sport

PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity
Excerpt from the 1920 edition of The Frater
Vol 95 No 1 September 2010 Page 11
Talk to any Chapter Advisor or Leadership
Consultant and youlsquoll quickly learn they
spend a majority of their time re-teaching
the same lessons each year In fact our chapterlsquos longevity is often at the mercy of
their next leadership cyclelsquos natural skills
and abilities Regardless of how prepared
young men are to lead others new leaders
often proceed as they have a mandate to
reinvent chapter operations
Said another way we have as many new
member education programs recruitment
programs and budgeting processes as we
have chapters And the aforementioned
programs often change from year-to-year
Chapter Advisors and Leadership
Consultants are often exhausted after only a
couple leadership transitions primarily for
this reason
We believe the root issue behind our
trajectory is how we pass on the lamp of
knowledge
Make no mistake our chapter leaders have
the best intentions They simply have not
been taught to master time-tested systems
and processes before adding their creative
flare The slate of often wiped clean
because new leaders rarely understand
systems well enough to continue them
Frankly itlsquos easier to start over most of the
time
Letlsquos get academic for a moment ―How
people learn is a wildly popular topic today
Technology has provided new and exciting
ways (to learn) not previously available
The pursuit to understand ―how people
learn has lead to significant breakthroughs
in learning design We now know that 30
days after a learning event retention rates
level off at 10 Without appropriate
preparation before and reinforcement after
learning events 90 of what we teach at
conclaves and conventions is lost
What does Pi Lambda Phi University have to
do with retention rates conclaves and
convention
We want to help delegates retain more and
send them back home with tools and
resources to Build Healthy Chapters Today
Your chapterlsquos leadership convention
delegate(s) was part of the inaugural class of
Pi Lambda Phi University Each delegate was
sent three videos from Jeff asking them to
be prepared open-minded and ready to
learn Delegates were also assigned two
homework assignments read an e-book and
take a pre-convention assessment on values-
based recruitment By focusing delegatelsquos
attention toward the key learning objectives
before the day-long recruitment seminar
we primed them for an optimal learning
experience In fact the seminar presenter
raved about our delegatelsquos preparation and
engagement We also invited delegates to
take a post-convention assessment and
provided an online facilitatorlsquos guide to help
them take what they learned back to their
chapters Recruitment results wonlsquot be
available for a couple more weeks so our
efforts are inconclusive at the moment
You can expect an update in the year-end
edition of The Frater
In fact over 380 off-the-shelf courses will be
available at time of launch (late Oct 2010)
Regardless of where you work or the
resources your employer does or doesnlsquot
allocate toward your development Pi
Lambda Phi University is available to help
you confidently turn your dreams into
reality Of course there is a cost associated
with usage As pricing details evolve details
will be forwarded
The opportunities created through Pi
Lambda Phi University are endless but it is
also a process A process that is not
complete We ask that you and your
chaptercolony get excited about the
opportunity and prepare yourselves for
what will surely be one of our Fraternitylsquos
largest steps forward in recent years
Learncomlsquos award-winning knowledge
platform was selected to power Pi Lambda
Phi University If you have learning design
experience or just want to learn more
please contact Shawn Upchurch at

Itlsquos a Great time to Pass on the Lamp of

On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the

The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as

recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that

1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the

The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian

recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the

The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as

recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

A few months ago a great deal of attention had been paid to the
relief efforts in Haiti For three weeks Brother Chris Rakunas
alumnus of the California Tau Chapter at UC Berkeley and the
Chief Operating Officer of Lehigh Regional Medical Center in
Lehigh Acres FL led his hospitallsquos efforts to collect food clothing
and medical supplies
On 8 February 2010 Brother Rakunas traveled to Port-au-Prince
Haiti and delivered supplies which were donated by Health
Management Associates More than 10 tons of medical and surgical equipment rode on a DC-8 with Brother Rakunas
The first location and the base of their operations was an
orphanage in Port-au-Prince The church had been converted into
a 30-bed pediatric hospital and was serving as the secondary
receiving facility from the University of Miamilsquos emergency room in
Haiti
―People were bringing the worst cases to the U of M hospital Rakunas said ―Once children have had their bones re-set there
isnlsquot a pediatric hospital for them to recuperate in The orphanage
was one of the places filling that need
In addition to re-supplying the orphanage hospital Brother
Rakunas helped bring medication and surgical supplies to
hospitals in Cayes Pestel Petion-Ville Bonne Finn and the
General Hospital in Port-au-Prince Food and clothing was also
distributed
Supplies were brought to the Pestel hospital via a 1-hour
helicopter ride through Haiti
Rakunas is not the only Cal Tau Pi Lam to be involved with
medical relief work Dr David Law has worked on missions to
Cuba volunteered time after Hurricane Katrina and is planning
relief work in Haiti as well
―hellipHe needed help setting that femur so he pretty much
taught me how to set bones and I set this leg so he could cast
ithellip We probably saved the guy from being crippled for the
rest of his life because the thigh muscles had already begun to
retract and pull the broken bone towards his hip so not only
did he not have a cleanly set bone but he had already lost
about 4 inches on his leg
―The buildingor remains of the building are chunks of a store
that used to be there Pretty much the whole neighborhood
looks like that now
Brothers Making A Difference Chris Rakunas Goes to Haiti
ldquoWhile we were at the hospital in Pestel an old
woman asked us to bring her emaciated grandchild
back to the orphanagerdquo Rakunas said ldquoThe mother
and father had been killed in the earthquake and she
had no way to feed him It was really heartbreaking to
see it firsthand but once the child was back in the
orphanage and was able to eat againhellipwell the
satisfaction from knowing you just saved a life
is not easily describablerdquo

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the

lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as

recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o

Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Eric Brewer to receive $150000 ACM-Infosys
Foundation Award for Scalable Web
Karen Rhodes College of Engineering | 15 March 2010
BERKELEY CA - Read Press Release - Eric Brewer professor of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of
California Berkeley is the 2009 recipient of the ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences a prestigious honor that
comes with a $150000 prize
Announced today (Monday March 15) by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) the award recognizes Brewerlsquos
achievements in developing highly scalable Web technologies that underpin all major Internet services
ACM cited Brewerlsquos groundbreaking work in operating systems and networking for laying the foundation for todaylsquos giant data centers
that make possible search email social networks and other Internet services as well as cloud computing
It was in the early 1990s that Brewer built a prototype at UC Berkeley of a highly scalable cost-effective Web search service using
clusters of computers Brewer and UC Berkeley graduate student Paul Gauthier went on to form Inktomi Corp purchased by Yahoo in
2003 based upon this prototype
―It has been a remarkable 15-year journey that started with four PCs pretending to be a supercomputer
to 00- and 1000-node clusters that enabled searching the Internet to the million-node cloudslsquo whose
revolutionary impact is largely yet to come said Brewer
The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award established in August 2007 recognizes personal contributions
by young scientists and system developers to a contemporary innovation that exemplifies the greatest
recent achievements in the computing field
―Professor Brewerlsquos influential work on scalable Web services has defined the basic architecture that is
used by almost all systems and marks him as a visionary with the potential to advance society on
numerous social and economic levels said ACM President Dame Wendy Hall
Brewer has directed his recent research on serving tens of thousands of people in developing countries
with information systems that deliver health care energy and other local resources This work is often
conducted through the Technology and Infrastructure for Emerging Regions project headed by Brewer
and sponsored by UC Berkeleys Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society
We are especially proud to honor Eric Brewer for contributions to computer science research and his demonstration of the use of IT
for the benefit of disadvantaged populations in many regions especially in developing nations said S Gopalakrishnan CEO and managing
director of Infosys Technologies
Brewer was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2007 and selected as an ACM Fellow in 2008 He was named one of the
Top Ten Innovators by InfoWorld in 2001 for his work on Internet search engines In 2000 the Industry Standard named him Most
Influential Internet Architect for his contributions to large-scale Web caching and early overlay networks He holds a 1989 BS in
electrical engineering and computer sciences from UC Berkeley and a 1994 PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Donations
Pi Lambda Phi is built around a purpose (Eliminate Prejudice) and its people (Brotherhood) We believe that advocating a better
understanding twixt men is a philosophy that works Our student members go on to become valued members of their
communities confidently turning their dreams into reality and eliminating prejudice along the way
As a Pi Lam supporter you give so much more than just your Time Talent and Treasure You give future members an opportunity
to experience our timeless principals Although the reasons to donate to the Fraternitylsquos IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public
foundation vary from person-to-person there is probably no better reason than to Ensure the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi
The following list represents donations from engaged members across Pilam Nation between January 1 2009 and June 30 2010
The Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation Inc recently re-aligned the Fraternitylsquos donation cycle and fiscal year reporting As of
July 1 2010 the Fraternity will report donations for the twelve month period ending June 30th

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

Weppner and Gary Sanders
ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Brothers Making A Difference
Brandon Taylorlsquos $10000 Gift Proves Timely
Unrestricted funds are essential to operate any nonprofit organization including Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational
Foundation (an IRS recognized tax exempt 501(c)3 public foundation) In fact the Fraternitylsquos Educational
Foundation has historically lacked adequate levels of unrestricted funds to promote its restricted capacities
advance educational programming and ultimately advocate a better understanding twixt men
The Educational Foundationlsquos inclusive approach has been ideal for capital campaigns chapter specific fundraising initiatives and donor-
advised funds What is often over-looked is the fact it takes money to administer the aforementioned programs in addition to fraternal
communications and annual scholarships
The timing of Brother Brandon Taylorlsquos donations to the Fraternitylsquos Educational Foundation couldnlsquot have been better Brandonlsquos
generous contributions have been used to help fund The Frater 2010 Scholarships and the Elimination of Prejudicelsquos inaugural launch
When asked why he felt compelled to donate to the Educational Foundation Brother Taylor stated ldquoI felt compelled to invest significantly in
the Educational Foundation now because I believe Pi Lambda Phi is at a turning point and is in need of unrestricted funds today I felt as though I
could afford to fill a financial void this year while we are working to reengage our Alumni and restore trust
Additionally I had the privilege of being involved with the reorganization of the UVA chapter and am impressed with the new member education
program that has been developed by our Pilam staff I have been particularly impressed with the quality of the undergraduate men we have
attracted their commitment to the Creed of Pi Lambda Phi and desired to expand the funds available to offer scholarshipsrdquo
Brother Taylor thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi by Building the Foundation for Our Future You gave future members an
opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Congratulations to Peter Hertzog PA Gamma Psi colony for being elected President of the Student Cooperative Council (SCC) at Lock
Haven University As a junior majoring in Business Administration and serving his second term as Rex Peter began his experience with
the SCC serving as a senator his freshmen year After examining events attending meetings and reviewing the constitution of the
organization over the past and current semester one of Peterlsquos goals is to transfer authority from the SCC Executive Board and back to
senators and the student body
When asked about winning the Presidency of Student Government Peter responded ―I did this by actually listening to the students and
also attending multiple club meetings to better understand the needs of the students I will took office on July 1st and be in office for one
academic year Its pretty exciting because this will allow me to be in a position to help to better the university for years to come and in
turn will better the reputation of the Greek community
Brother Hertzog thank you for Ensuring the Longevity of Lock Haven University Your leadership is helping to Grow a Healthy Colony Today
which will give future members an opportunity to experience our timeless principals
Peter Hertzog elected Lock Haven Universitylsquos Student Government President
THE REALITIES OF PUBLISHING THE FRATER The original fraternity magazine The Frater published its first issue in 1915 The Frater was published four times a year and included articles on every
Chapter The style content and length of The Frater has changed dramatically since the first few issues were produced ninety five years ago The intention The Frater would be a lifetime subscription to all members of Pi Lambda Phi has also changed dramatically Like Social Security the policy ended up being funded out of current income and the growing number of alumni subscriptions were being funded by fewer members each year Certainly alumni who
regularly donated continued to receive The Frater In more recent years finances have once again become an issue and we have had to cut back
It is interesting to note what other fraternities have been doing One fraternity with over 200 chapters has quit printing its magazine altogether and has gone totally electronic Others have cut back to three or two or even one issueyear Pi Lambda Phi would like to continue publishing four paper issues per year but we simply cannot afford to line waste cans We need our alumni to accept an electronic copy Of course we still want alumni to donate
in order to get the electronic copy Not just to support the magazine but to support the Fraternitys other operations in order to help us take the load off the student members (who currently cover gt 95 of the IHQ budget while representing lt 2 of our membership) It isnt enough to say Ill accept the electronic version but dont expect me to help our undergraduates beyond that
The Fraternity resisted electronic alternatives to the printed Frater until now but frequency has been affected significantly Obviously an electronic copy is more environment friendly and financially prudent Pi Lambda Phi has 26286 mailable members If every member were mailed four issues annually
then the costs would be $110000 annually By distributing an electronic copy to all student members and alumni and only publishing copies to satisfy donor requests we have cut The Fraterlsquos budget lt $20000
Any donating member may still obtain a print copy of The Frater All they need to do is visit wwwpilambdaphiorg and click on ―Send me The Frater located under Publications Otherwise if members keep their email address up-to-date they will receive all electronic versions

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which
defeated Secretariat in the Woodward Stakes in September 1973 Handsome Boy which defeated Buckpasser in the Brooklyn
Handicap in July 1967 Blessing Angelica (mare) which won the Delaware Handicap in 1971 and 1972

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o

Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which
defeated Secretariat in the Woodward Stakes in September 1973 Handsome Boy which defeated Buckpasser in the Brooklyn
Handicap in July 1967 Blessing Angelica (mare) which won the Delaware Handicap in 1971 and 1972

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

ldquoI hope Pi Lambda Phi has made as
great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the
foresight of the Creed
The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and
beliefs drives us to achieve greater
success and a more sustainable
brotherhood Investing in an inclusive
brotherhood and workplace garners
innovation connectivity and
commitment Combining diversity with
inclusion is to reach our potential as
the nationrsquos first non-sectarian
fraternity We are different so
recognizing respecting and
maximizing these differences provides
us a significant competitive advantage
on todayrsquos college campuses and
throughout our livesrdquo

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

While serving in the Navy during World War II Schulberg was assigned to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) working with
John Fords documentary unit Following VE Day he was among the first American servicemen to liberate the Nazi-run
concentration camps He was involved in gathering evidence against war criminals for the Nuremberg Trials an assignment that
included arresting documentary film maker Leni Riefenstahl at her chalet in Kitzbuumlhel Austria ostensibly to have her identify the
faces of Nazi war criminals in German film footage captured by the Allied troops
Schulberg encountered political controversy in 1951 when screenwriter Richard Collins testifying to the House Un-American

that Party members had sought to influence the content of What Makes Sammy Run and named names of other Hollywood
communists

PA Lambda Lehigh Jack Dreyfus Big Pi 1995
Dreyfus was a graduate of Lehigh University in Pennsylvania He is widely publicized for being the
man who invented the commonplace mutual fund through direct marketing to the public in the
1950lsquos and 1960lsquos and ultimately selling the fund during the early 1970s
His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas
Gary Sanders Resigns as
Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

His early television commercials featuring a lion emerging from the Wall Street subway station were
successful According to Barrons Magazine end of Century issue Jack Dreyfus was considered the
2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an
interloper and a genius Yet he is without question the most singular and effective personality to
appear in Wall Street since the days of Joseph Kennedy and Bernard Baruch When late last year he
decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o
War Stakes at Belmont October 1962 Onion which defeated Secretariat in the Whitney Stakes in August 1973 Prove Out which

Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Diversity amp Inclusion
By Chip Luman
Diversity and inclusion are part of Pi Lambda
Philsquos core values We view values as the
essence of our existence and long-term
success We have an opportunity to evolve
the Fraternity into a truly inclusive
organization and encourage engagement
around timeless enduring issues
Pi Lambda Philsquos Educational Foundation
President Chip Luman leads organizational
diversity and inclusion efforts
Heres what Luman has to say about
Diversity and Inclusion at Pi Lambda Phi
Lean amp Green
By Chip Luman
Pi Lambda Phi is changing our business
practices to become a more Leanamp Green nonprofit Leanamp Green means improving
processes to be more efficient reducing
waste and being eco-friendly at the same
time It also means being smarter about
how we do business so more of your
donation touches the lives of our aspiring
undergraduates
The flagship of our Lean amp Green campaign
is an electronic communications effort that
will hold firm direct mail costs while
simultaneously allowing us to reach more
Alumni more often
For example by reducing this issue of the
Frater from the previously published 12 page
4 color piece to a 6 page abridged teaser for
the full online version we expanded the
Page 21
number of Alumni who received the printed
Frater from 9500 to 23657 for practically
the same investment In addition we also
emailed the Frater to another 4500
brothers
And it goes without saying the online
version removes space and budget
constraints allowing you to receive more
news updates and information
In fact our goal is to compliment our
annual Frater mailing with more frequent
electronic versions We remain committed
to a personal touch but we need to do it
reasonably with an appreciation toward the
reason you donated our undergraduates
development
Among the many other Green initiatives
are reducing paper use streamlining
Fraternity operations with modern
communications tools and staging a go-
green contest for brothers to suggest
green-friendly ideas

Executive Director
A letter from Brother Gary Sanders
Dear Brothers
Pi Lambda Phi has been an incredible
opportunity for me As an undergraduate I
learned more about leadership brotherhood
and diversity than all my classes and other
activities combined As an alumnus I had
two opportunities to develop myself and Pi
Lambda Phi The first was helping to re-
establish my chapterrsquos Alumni association
The second was having the privilege of
working in support of the incredible
undergraduates and Alumni
After five and a half years I decided it was
time to leave My time working for the best
Fraternity has been a great joy It has given
me wonderful opportunities to support
coach and most importantly learn from
amazing undergraduates and Alumni I have
been welcomed into many a chapter house
Alumni homes and anywhere the bond of
brotherhood has been shared Seeing a
smile and hearing a welcoming brotherly
voice always made my day brighter
I want to thank each of you for your support
over the past five and a half years
Without you Pi Lam would not be the
success it is today Please continue to
develop our Fraternity to its fullest potential
The Founders of Pi Lambda Phi established
high ideals Itrsquos our responsibility to live up
to them
Our motto ldquoNot Four Years but a
Lifetimerdquo means much to me like it does
you The greatest benefit of the past years
has been the opportunities to get to know
so many brothers
Brother mine forever

great of an impact on your life as it
did mine The brotherhood really
knows no borders To this day I
continue to be fascinated by the

The different ways our brothers have
lived and experienced the Creed is
absolutely remarkablerdquo
ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and
inclusion are fundamental to who we
are and what we do Diversity of
experiences ideas cultures and

success and a more sustainable

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Quinnipiac Chapter Connecticut Tau Kappa Holds Reunion By Harv Goldstein - Class of 1973
After a hiatus of more than 40 years the Brothers of Pi Lambda Phi Connecticut Tau Kappa and their local fraternity predecessor Tau
Kappa Beta from Quinnipiac College (now Quinnipiac University) held a reunion party on Saturday April 17 2010 in Wallingford CT
Tau Kappa Beta was chartered at Quinnipiac College in 1958 In 1963 the fraternity initiated Beta Chapter on the New Haven College
campus
The aims of Tau Kappa Beta as written in the founding Constitution were to maintain high ideals of citizenship to participate in any
activity which will be beneficial to the college and to uphold the ideals of Quinnipiac College Following these aims Tau Kappa Beta
proudly maintained a position of leadership and participation in campus activities while always maintaining high ideals of brotherhood Tau
Kappa Beta received its National Charter from Pi Lambda Phi in March of 1968
What began in September of 2009 with a few of the Brothers finding each other on Facebook became a quest to find as many other
Brothers from the founding local fraternity and Pi Lambda Phi The Reunion Committee of Skip Branciforte Vic Carlucci Bill DeMayo Joe
Dunsmore Harv Goldstein Don Langella Pat McGrath Bob Passero and Pete Ricciardi were able to locate 58 Brothers 30 Brothers and
their wives and girlfriends attended the party and all vowed to not let another 40 years slip away Traveling the farthest was Brother
George Rossi and his wife Celeste (who were sweethearts 42 years ago) who came to Connecticut from Florida just for the Reunion
Other Brothers traveled from Vermont New Hampshire and New York to attend this event In keeping with the traditions of 40 years ago a five-piece band was hired in lieu of a DJ playing music of the 1960s
This group of Brothers that goes back more than 40 years were excited to see each other in April and are looking forward to their next
reunion party in 2011 This is living proof of the Pi Lambda Phi motto - Not Four Years but a Lifetime

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

Have you ever wondered what Pi Lambda Phi will mean to you in your lifetime
The Alumni from the University of Illinois chapter shared that experience on September 10 2009 Graduates from the early 1960lsquos met in
Champaign-Urbana to reunite and share returning to the campus The Chapter was known as the IL Alpha Kappa chapter until 1977
When the chapter merged with another group the name was changed to IL Tau Delta
The time disappeared when these Pi Lams reunited The weekend started with a bus ride from Chicago to the Champaign-Urbana campus
A campus will change in the course of four decades so do the brothers Many of the Alumni managed to keep in touch since graduation
The weekend was filled with remembrances Pi Lambda Phi songs other songs and brotherhood The Illini football team delivered a
victory for the Alumni and the weekend was a tremendous experience

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

2nd most significant money manager of the last century For almost two decades Dreyfus has taken
impish delight in stepping on Wall Streetlsquos respectable corns He has been called an upstart an

decided to get out of the biggest of his enterprises his exit was as theatrically pleasing as either of
these two predecessors could have devised
Dreyfus owned the noted Hobeau Farm in Ocala Florida where he bred trained and raced horses The 2200 acre property was
the center of his racing operation Among his noted horses and victories were Beau Purple which defeated Kelso in the Man o

Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

PAST PRESIDENT STANLEY GLASSER HB JOINS CHAPTER ETERNAL Stanley Glasser HB OH Mu lsquo48 joined the Chapter Eternal on March 19 2010 Brother Glasser was an active volunteer and
supporter of Pi Lambda Phi throughout his life He truly lived the motto ―Not Four Years but a Lifetime Brother Glasser served
as Archon of his beloved OH Mu chapter at the University of Cincinnati Stan always supported the chapter through the highs and
lows When the chapter closed he was responsible for seeing the chapter reactivated
Brother Glasserlsquos contributions extended far beyond OH Mu and Cincinnati He was active with the International Fraternity over
the past five decades His involvement led to being elected the President of the International Executive Council where he began
the process to modernize the operation of the fraternity After serving as President of the IEC Stan continued to seek
improvements to make Pi Lambda Phi better Stan oversaw the modernization of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation and
served as the first President of the Foundation and later as Chairman
He firmly believed that it was important for the fraternity to have Alumni involved in the chapters and the International Fraternity
He made an extensive effort which was carried forward by succeeding Pi Lam Presidents to have the fraternity represented By a
geographically diverse mixture of Alumni Brothers on the IEC Stan believed that this added to the strength of Pi Lam as these
individuals brought different backgrounds and experiences to the fraternity by virtue of where they lived or grew up Executive
Director Emeritus George Beck HB said ―Stan was a true Pi Lam through and through
―Stan bled purple and gold Past President Stanley Klunder HB added ―he spent many a night at conclaves conventions and
chapter events always willing to help our young Brothers find their way through fraternity and advice on life Stan was always
candid with his opinions He was never afraid to look for outside opinions and experiences to develop new ways to help Pi Lambda
Phi
Brother Glasser is survived by his son Daniel Stan is interned at Schachnus Cemetery in Cincinnati Ohio Due to Brother
Glasserlsquos numerous contributions he was memorialized with a period of mourning throughout Pi Lambda Phi through May 1 2010
all brothers of Pi Lambda Phi were asked to observe the mourning tradition and obscure the letters of Pi Lambda Phi on their
brother badges Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Pi Lambda Phi Educational
Foundation

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

The Fraternity Ideal
LEOPOLD J SNEIDER GAMMA 18
I was alone The cold stillness of night was softened only by the mellow glow of my study lamp Before me on the printed page there
appeared a poetlsquos prayer ―Give me an ideal that will stand the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real I stopped
reading and for the moment was lost in thought There was something strangely human in this plea Something that arrested attention
and demanded thought I felt that in this prayer the poet had evinced a striking truism
How many of Lifelsquos ideals are dreams the products of our free and unrestrained imagination And when imagination becomes the goal
of life mdash life is sure to suffer The idealist at his fireside evolves a beautiful dream He fosters cherishes and develops it He carries it
with him into the world and it becomes his life purpose But what if the world is not ready to receive his ideal What if the world checks
its attainment curbs its progress mocks its worth What if the world exposes his ideal and reveals mdash a dream bubble Ideal and idealist are blasted The history of humanity is filled with records of men and women whose lives have been ended by and with their ideals The
ideal that is to live and give strength to its possessor must find basis of existence in reality mdash not alone in imagination Our ideals must
always seek relationship with life as it is We must see them through the eyes of human experience If our ideals are to develop into
complete realization they must grow in accordance with the established laws of human nature
The college fraternity is founded on an ideal mdash the love of man for man The sublimity of that ideal fires the imagination There is
something supreme something holy in an organization which would ignore the barriers of wealth birth social difference and accept
men only in the light of their personal worth There is something noble in an organization which seeks to destroy prejudices of previous
training and environment and which makes men feel that there is a sublime spiritual bond which conquers from varying houses they are
of varying ability they have come with varying conceptions of manliness varying estimates of conduct and right doing
The college fraternity is part of the college world mdash a community vibrating ideals and ideas and the energy these give birth to He who
sees the college world only as a lecture hall is blind to the reality of its life The lecture hall may occupy a conspicuous place in the
college but it is only a part mdash only a means to an end never an end in itself Where men live together as they do on a college campus
there do always the problems of social relations arise And it is in this relationship that the college rears its ideal and battles with its
ideas The college fraternity is the mirror that reflects and moreover intensifies this spirit of the college Devotion to Alma Mater and
the zealous desire to make Alma Mater excel in all the fields she enters finds their echo in the fraternity There the men vie with the
men of other fraternities to the most active on the college campus everywhere to stamp their fraternity as the leader And as the
college aims to establish a high student standard so does the fraternity in its choice of members The spirit of energy and of
achievement in its manifold forms mdash the spirit of the college mdash the fraternity tries to instill in its members In the fraternity house this
aim gives rise to plans and methods of accomplishment which compel all to put their shoulders to the wheel In the attainment of the
fraternity aim all must be for one and one for all These are the external problems of the fraternity that concerns themselves with the
college
Within are the subtler problems of human relationship It is to be understood at the outset that men of differing natures character and
training cannot be made homogenous by the mere will of a few The results of enclosing varying temperaments and of forcing men of
varying habits to live together cannot but fail at the outset to be misunderstandings perhaps clashes and conflict The fraternity house
opens the finest opportunity for the interplay of human character During the four years of fraternity life the real nature of a man must
inevitably assert itself It takes time sometimes a year sometimes two for a man to acclimate himself Homogenous living and mutual
understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when
the man feels at home among his fraternity brothers then the true self begins to come forward The man responds according to his
nature to the new environment ―We live our truest lives with our friends It is in his response to the call of the college world in his
reactions towards the men he lives with in the way he aids in the achievement of the common fraternity purpose that we can learn and
understand our fraternity brother For the college fraternity is the key which unlocks the manlsquos internal nature and which reveals his
character his mind and mood
When can men love each other When they have lived with each other when they have worked walked talked achieved and suffered
together for a common purpose mdash Working together ―for good ends for broad fearless helpful life arising from sound impulses
within When you have learned your fraternity brother in such ties when you know and understand the good and bad in him when in
the still hours of night you have heard his life story felt the pulse of his spiritual nature and found the human link that binds him to you
mdash then can you love him
The light of my study lamp spreading a soft glow across the printed page I re-read the poetslsquo prayer mdash It had given me an ideal that
was standing the strain of weaving into human stuff on the loom of the real mdash my fraternity

BROTHER MINE FOREVER
Words by Jack Yellen MI Epsilon Supreme Rex 1916
Brother mine forever
We are bound together
By a bond that stronger grows
As years roll by
Mystic words unspoken
Holy vows unbroken
Holds us faithful to the tie
Of Pi Lambda Phi
When the days are dreary
When the heart grows weary
Tho the dark clouds of despair
May hide the sky
I shall neer be friendless
For our love is endless
Even death cant break the tie
