The Frater Vol. 95, No. 1 products of our acclaimed FL Delta chapter (Go Gators!). We are fortunate to have both these high potential men role model leadership to our undergraduate brothers. I am supremely confident our All-Star IHQ team will lead to us to another level of success. Good luck Ian, Phil and Romano. The third leadership transition occurred this past January, when Chip Luman succeeded Ezra Krieg as President of the Pi Lambda Phi Educational Foundation, Inc. Since 2008, Chip has served as an Educational Foundation Trustee. As a Pennsylvania State University undergraduate student, Chip served our Omega Gamma Chapter as Archon and Recruitment Chair. He was also part of the leadership team that built the chapter after they regained the original Pilam house after a 40 year absence. After graduation, Chip has been consistently involved with his chapter's Alumni organization. Chip brings a unique blend of multi- functional executive and fiduciary leadership experience from several industries; including, recruiting services and technology (HireVue), financial services (Charles Schwab), video game software development (Acclaim Entertainment), consumer packaged goods (PepsiCo) and heavy industry (Marathon Oil Company). Chip is also currently a Lecturer at Penn State University. We are fortunate to have Chip‘s executive presence and strategic vision leading our Educational Foundation.

Three Leadership Transitions At the 115 th Annual Leadership Convention held in Chicago, IL August 5 - 8, 2010, I joined a distinguished list of past fraternity leaders and transitioned the President‘s gavel to Jeff Buhler . Jeff most recently served as Vice President of the IEC. As a University of Florida student, Jeff served our FL Delta Chapter as Rex and earned the 1993 Rafer Johnson Upsilon Achievement Award. Between 1994 and 2000, Jeff served as Leadership Consultant, Director of Chapter Services, Assistant Executive Director and Director of Development. He has also spent the past four years as a Councilman. Jeff brings a unique combination of fraternal experiences to the Presidency, which few before have possessed. Jeff‘s Executive Board will include Shawn Upchurch (Baldwin- Wallace '91), Vice-President; Marc Weppner (Virginia Tech '92), Treasurer and Chris Rakunas (UC Berkeley '97), Secretary. The second leadership transition took place May 1 st at our International Headquarters (IHQ). After almost six years as Executive Director, Gary Sanders decided to pursue other challenges. When Gary accepted the dubious challenge to be our Fraternity‘s top employee, he simultaneously inherited an organization in decline. Thanks to Gary‘s 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. The IEC promoted Ian Lowe from 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 Achievement Award. Since graduation, Ian served our Fraternity as Director of Expansion. He is also a U.S. Air Force Reservist with the 911 th Airlift Wing (Knowledge Operations Manager; Unit Fitness Program Manager).

State of the Fraternity - pg 1

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

My Frater and The Realities of

Publishing The Frater Page 16

Reasons to The Digital Frater

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

To Ensuring the Longevity of Pi Lambda Phi

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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-

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

Brothers Making A Difference

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brothers Making A Difference

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brothers Making A Difference

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brothers Making A Difference

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

Brothers Making A Difference

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

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

Handicap in July 1967 Blessing Angelica (mare) which won the Delaware Handicap in 1971 and 1972

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

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-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brothers Making A Difference

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 14

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

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

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

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

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

communists

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

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

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

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

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

success and a more sustainable

brotherhood and workplace garners

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

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

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

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

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

Writers Workshop in an attempt to ease frustrations and bring artistic training to the economically impoverished district

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

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

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

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

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

Writers Workshop in an attempt to ease frustrations and bring artistic training to the economically impoverished district

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

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

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

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

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

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

did mine The brotherhood really

knows no borders To this day I

continue to be fascinated by the

absolutely remarkablerdquo

ldquoAt Pi Lambda Phi diversity and

inclusion are fundamental to who we

are and what we do Diversity of

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

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

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

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

Among the many other Green initiatives

are reducing paper use streamlining

Fraternity operations with modern

communications tools and staging a go-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

understanding can come only with time But when the period of adjustment is over when the shackles of restraint are cast aside when

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

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

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
