Phi Sigma Kappa by Janea Phillip Dedication pays off A leader emerged and challenged his brothers to follow his example to better the ceniimiinity and university. IXi unto others as you would have them do unto you. The Epsilon Nu Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity applied the Golden Rule to hard work throughout last year. rhi Sigma Kappa abided hy this motto in order to receive the university ' s 2003 Fraternity of the Year award. Based on their participation in Homecoming activities, Greek Week, academics and their philanthropy and community service, Phi Sigma Kappa accepted the award for the first time. We had 12 phenomenal leaders this past year, and it will be hard to replace them, active member Scott Hill said. Over the years, the fraternity changed the goals and uiitiatives to better serve the university and community. Our fraternity is in the business of making better men, President Logan Lightfoot said. In addition to the university award, the national headquarters ot Phi Sigma Kappa recognized Epsilon Nu as Outstanding Chapter of the Year for the third consecutn ' e year. Along with group achievements, Lightfoot received Man of the Year at a national convention in Georgia. He was the first to receive the award in university Epsilon Nu history. It was a big surprise but an honor for someone from our chapter to be chosen, Robin Sol said. The judges based their criteria on Lightfoot ' s scholastic achievement, community service and university accomplishments. Through my dedication to my fraternity as well as the Greek system, I feel that my impact has been able to reach many, Lightfoot said. Amongst his various roles on campus and in Phi Sigma Kappa, he also organized various community ser% ' ice events. Lightfoot provided an example for his fraternity brothers to emulate. A successful student leader sets himself apart by the selfless choices that he makes, the time that he spends doing nothing but listening and the decisions that he makes expecting nothing in return, Logan v.ud.

Kappa Kappa Psi by Stephanie McCoy Intune services Tcitin ; trumpets and trombones, Kappa Kappa Psi wasn ' t the typical Greek organization. Since 1991, Kappa Delta, the university chapter of Kappa Kappi Psi, proved an exemplary chapter after being named No. 1 in the- country. Kappa Kappa Psi went coed and boasted more than 4,000 active brothers in six districts as well as many alumni and faculty. The university ' s chapter consisted of 40 active members. Director of Bands Alfred Sergei believed the activities Kappa participated in reflected the purpose of the organization. The kind of projects that we choose to do are all service oriented, either to our specific college band, college bands in general and then, in a larger envelope, bands, Sergei said. The scope of activities Kappa covered included giving free lessons to students who couldn ' t afford them and organizing the annual band banquet. This past fall, we contacted area high school bands, and on Friday nights, during football season, we traveled to those schools and played with their pep band during the game, Vice President for Membership Julie Knapp said. It was fun to see the younger students get involved with their band as well as the appreciation they had fur the K.ippas. Kappa Kappa Psi was founded as an honorary band fraternity at Oklahoma State University in 1919. The organization ' s founders sought to create a group that would strive for greater understanding, expression and good will among bands and their members. Kappa stressed the importance of staying active in band to younger students by sponsoring a junior high band festival. Many members of Kappa Kappa Psi would also become future band directors, and learning to interact with students was beneficial for those individuals as well as the organization as a whole. President of Kappa Kappa Psi Nicholas Ross saw the camaraderie as being very important to the organization. I got involved in Kappa because of the service we prtjvide to the bands, Ross said. Others join because they see what we do through our service and want to be a part of it. Also, they see the close brotherhood we have and want that. High school students compete at the Four State Honor Music Festival. Kappa Kappa Psi sponsored students from Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri. photo hy Mike Tau Phi Upsilon Front Row: Bridnne Knilans, Emily Murr, SanJi Winecoft, Sasi Simon, Callie Coleman and Ernilie Polley.
