  • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1975 WESTERN CAROLINIAN RTISEMENT YEARS OF BROTHERHOOD vior. We cannot all be elected to positions of leadership, but we all can and do have the opportunity in our daily lives to exhibit leadership qualities. Earnest Scholarship: Kappa Alpha expects her member to strive for academic achievement. Over the years KA has been acutely aware of the desire on the part of her chapters for guidance in their scholarship efforts. Guidance is readily available to you through the Chapter's Scholarship Officer, the Pledge Director, and KA's National Scholarship Officers who are authorities in the field.

We Specialize In Nationally Known Quality Clothing With The College Look. VANCE HARDWARE Progressive Programs: Through KA's National Planned Program as well as those developed at the chapter level, you will be exposed to many facets of those areas that fall into our Progressive Programs category. In this category we find excellent planning in intramurals, social functions,alumni relations, IFC and campus activities, philanthropic projects, community relations,and programs developed by the Order and the undergraduate chapters that stimulate the intellect, Sound Finances: The Financial program at the national level and the chapter level has to be planned. It is at the national level that this program in sound financial operation begins, and is passed on to the chapter. Through careful planning and wise use of funds, KA can offer you a better living situation at less cost, a better social program and more fringe benefits than you could otherwise obtain in most college and university situations. Genuine Brotherhood: There are many aspects to this word, brotherhood. In Kappa Alpha, brotherhood begins to take form, and continues to do so on through initiation into the Order, However, it is never molded into final brotherhood- brotherhood is a continuous thing, even beyond your college days. Kappa Alpha is not just another college fraternity; it is a way of life, a philosophy of living. Its influence cannot be weighed or measured or computed or analyzed; but, for its members, there is nothing more substantial, nothing more real, than the precepts which have become a part of their very souls, the strong bonds of brotherhood which have been among their dearest and most cherished blessings," KA Scholarship One of the great myths in higher education is that the easiest way to flunk out of college is to pledge a fraternity. This opinion commands a surprising amount of following in spite of a complete lack of evidence to support it, The fact is that all research which has been done on the subject indicates the opposite - that fraternity men en dure in college at a significantly higher rate than do non- fraternity men. The Commission of Fraternity Research has conducted studies of fraternity retention, The first study conducted by the CFK was of 1967 graduating seniors of member fraternity men graduated on schedule. The most recent stu- dythat of 1969 graduating seniors, revealed that 65_percent of fraternity men graduated on schedule. Kappa AlDha Order has traditionally placed substantial emphasis on the importance ol scholastic achievement on the part of its members. In recent years as evidenced by the scholarship program adopted by the Executive Council of Kappa Alpha Order in 196T, even more emphasis has been placed on this sector of chapter operation, Rush activities will officially begin at 7:00 Thursday night when a formal smoker will be held at the KA House, All interested college men are invited to attend, This evening is specifially designed to enable us to get to know the new faces on the WCU campus.

Delta Alpha Chapter celebrated last convivium with a banquet at the Court Hill Inn, Sylva. Head football coach Bob Waters was our guest speaker and his words were enjoyed by all, HISTORY OF KA ORDER Kappa Alpha Order was born at Wahington College, now Washington and Lee University, in Lexington, Virginia, on December 21, 1865, as Phi Kappa Chi Fraternity. It was conceived in the heart and mind of James Ward Wood of lost River, West Virginia, then a student at Washington College. At that time, he was sworn in binding association together in lasting friendship, "by mutual pledge of faith and loyalty" to three fellow students, Wood, along with William Nelson Scott if Lexington, Virginia,and William Archibald Walsh of Richmond, Virginia, h".s baon venerated as one of the four founders of inn Orde>.i At the request of Pni Kappa' Psi Fraternity, which had existed at Washington College since 1865, the founders consented to change their name to Kappa Alpha, Delta Alpha Chapter at Western Carolina University was founded on October 12, 1964. Since that time the chapter has grown stronger and more active each j ear, Our brotherhood is not the largest on this campus as we prefer the close unit> of a tightly knit organization over the confusion of an excessively large chapter. At present we have an active chapter role of thirty-six undergraduate men. We also have a strongand active alumni chapter. The brothers of Delta Alpha have discovered that Kappa Alpha Order is not just another college fraternity, it is a way of life, a philosoph\ of living, Its influence cannot be weighed, measured, or ana» lyzed; but, for its members, there is nothing more substan" tial, nothing more real, than the vow* hey have taken, the percepts which have become a part of their ver\ souls, the strong bands of brotherhood which have been among their dearest and most cherished GENERAL ROBERT EDWARD LEE -.
