Dear Brothers, I would like to apologize for not getting a newsletter out to you de rving alumni earlier this year We, here at Mu igma in Kir- ksville send our best regards to each of you and hope that everything is going well for ycu. We urge you to keep in contact with us and stop in and see us whenever you can. At this time, I would like to thank the members of my com- mittee, the committee chairman who submitted articles, and Kr. Eugene Croarkln, all who helped to make this journalistic mas- ter piece possible. Fraternally yours. Rod Steinmann Alumni Relations Chairman Fall semester rush was fair- ly successful. It consisted of the following activities: a ' Hippie Love-In ' Dance, the traditional Novinger parties, several coffees at Elaines, and the Annual PKT Smoker held -in the activities room of the Stu- dent Union Building. Thirty- six men pledged Phi Kappa Theta Spring rush consisted of two coffees and a Smoker in the Student Union. It was most successful as ten men pledged PKT. Art James was fall rush coordinator and Jim Baker is presently serving as our spring semester coordinator. Dear Brothers, They said they wanted some words of wisdom from the Pres- ident, but I ' m not sure I can fufill that request, I think the first thing I ' ll do is say thank you to you the alumni for all the things yi u did while ycu were in school and for the fine contributions you have made since. I would also like to thank you for your patience in waiting for this first Alumni Newsletter. As you know from your own experience it is often hard to get something new started, but now that we have gotten the first one out I ' m sure they will continue. This has been a good year for the Phi Kaps and I think getting this newsletter out is really the icing on the cake. I hope this letter will encourage fur- ther communications between you, the alumni, and us the active chapter. Please notify us of any address changes, im- portant events, honors or un- expected happenings concerning you or any other alumni brot- hers. I hope most of you will be able to return to beauti ful downtown Kirksville in the near future to see our new house. Aside from the dirty dishes it is usually pretty neat. Well, I guess I had better close now. About the only words of wisdom I can give you is to communi- cate and ccme and see us some time soon» Fraternally yours, Kent Harshbarger President Four BrolluTS iiil the Diisf This has ' - been the Year of Marriages for Mu Sigma Chapter of Phi Kappa Theta.

Successful Fall Rush Program Initiated as actlyea and 11 men were held over aa neophyte brothers due to 1«, gS. This becane possible with the passing of a new IFC ruline During the fan pledge s ' ea- •on Dan Goble assuaed the off. Ice of Pledge Instructor. Pre- ou5ly Dwig».t Cook -resigned the post due to student teach- ing comnittments. The ' Goober ' Administration devised a totally new pledge program which was unanimously approved by the active chapter and is in the process of being tested now. The fall pledge class took their pledge skip to Kansas State University of Manhattan, Kansas. Kansas is an 18 state, therefore a good time was re- ported by all that went. Steve White was chosen by the fall pledge class as the outstanding active and Mick West was voted the outstanding pledge. This spring semester, Marvin Moots was elected Pledge In- structor for the coming academ- ic year. Of the 10 liiitial pledges, 8 remained during the spring semester. They complet- ed their eventful pledge sea- son with a skip to the Ifiniver- sity of Missouri at Rolla. Due to new IFC grade rulings, heavy pledging occurred in the fall. Therefore our class of eight is one of the largest on campus. The following were initiated into the brotherhood: Bill Burke, Ron Buswell, Amie Bu- tay. Woody Glascock, Bill Got- tmn, Steve Lee, Kerry Stray- hall, and Dan Woodcock. The active body voted Dan Woodcock the outstanding pledge. Marvin Moots was chosen the outstand- ing active by the pledge class.

The above basically emphasizes the differences between a frat ' ity and a club, and expresses why fraternity men are deeply loyal to their frat lity. While clubs dwell primarily on a few particular aspects, the fraternity distinction IS that it strives for the complete development of its members: spiritually, academically, and socially. It also develops a lasting fellowship, a strong identifi- cation and a sense of unity. These valuable assets are the result of the principles and ideals upon which a fraternity is founded. in Footbal I (jome reprinted from The Temple Spring 69
