  • PAGE 4 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Friday, February 4, 1966 Local Greek Chapter Attains Objective Lambda Sigma Nu Fraternity Affiliates With Pi Kappa Phi Much has been said lately about Greeks on our campus. Some of the comments have been good, others bad. But one general opinion seems to hold true among administrators as well as students. If a Greek organization can prove its worth to the campus, then the group is accepted by both factions mentioned. One such organization which has begun to "prove" itself is Lambda Sigma Nu. On Friday, January 28, Lambda Sigma Nu became a colony of Pi Kappa Phi National Fraternity. Pi Kappa Phi was founded on December 10, 1904, at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. The fraternity has 53 undergraduate chapters with over 25,000 brothers. Chapters in North Carolina include those at Davidson, East Carolina, State, UNC, and Duke. As a colony of Pi Kappa Phi, this new group will have certain goals to attain before they can become a chapter. Among these goals are: a well-rounded social, academic and spiritual life, an obligation to brotherhood which must be met, and a sense of responsibility to self, brothers and the college community. What do the boys themselves think about their national affiliation? Dewey Covington, Archon, has this to say about the step: "When this fraternity was founded here at Western Carolina, we established a set of goals for ourselves. Becoming a colony of Pi Kappa Phi was one of these goals. This goal has been reached, but all our goals have not been acquired. The men of this colony have worked hard and deserve a vote of thanks, but we realize that we still have a lot of work to do." Tom Jones, Historian, makes this comment: "We feel that by being affiliated with Pi Kappa Phi, we will be more capable of supporting campus activities not only in a social manner, but in service as well. We have thought much of becoming a chapter of a National Fraternity since Lambda Sigma Nu was oragnized last spring. At last, our goal of being a colony of a National Fraternity has been reached. Now we must strive together to attain full brotherhood. To sum it up, I'm very happy to be a pledge again." As Lambda Sigma Nu fraternity, the colony has already made many contributions to our campus. Last fall, they established an award given to the most outstanding player In the three major sports at Western Carolina. Their Christmas toy drive for, the Elida Orphans Home In Asheville has become an annual event. They have participated in every Greek activity created by Greek Council. Officers of Pi Kappa Phi colony include: Dewey Covington, Archon; David McKenzie, Treasurer; Harry Books, Secretary; Ken Pottle, Warden; Tom Jones, Historian; and Bob Folsom, Chaplain. Bill Upchurch sums up the feelings of the men with this statement: "When Lambda Sigma Nu was organized, there were three fraternities on this campus. The Brothers felt that there was room for more, and that more men needed an opportunity to better themselves as well as the college. I feel that the brothers feel satisfaction in their work. By becoming a colony of Pi Kappa Phi, we have laid the ground work to becoming a stronger fraternity and offering more to ourselves and to the school through the help of a National group which stresses brotherhood, friendliness and scholarship."
