Dear Brothers:

To our group of 1,000 key alumni of Phi Kappa Psi I am sending herewith a
copy of a report made by Brother Dab Williams upon alumni activity.

Fortunately, alumni of many other chapters are carrying on like those at
Syracuse and meeting with similar success. This accounts for the continued strong
position of our Fraternity. Will you do all you can to see to it that the alumni
of your chapter are giving it similar backing?

Very fraternally yours
J = ,

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF PHI KAPPA PSI FRATERNITY

 

DATE November 22, 1943

OFFICE CF The Secretary
SUBJECT Wartime Contributions of Phi Psi Alumni
MEMORANDUM FOR Mr. Harry S. Gorgas, President.

Dear Harrys

I attended and took part in an initiation ceremony and banquet at Syracuse,
N.Y., last Friday. You will be interested in learning that the undergraduate
chapter, since the close of school last spring, consisted of one member, August |
Jankowski, a blind boy, who was initiated the early part of this year.

Thanks to the activities of a wonderful group of alumni in Syracuse, eight
pledgees were accounted for and all were initiated. We cannot give the alumni at
Syracuse too much credit for the way they have carried on. Some chapters at Syra-
cuss are just about out of business, and nothing is being done to put them back on
the map. Our alumi rushed just about the same as when they were in school. They
met at the homes of members, had a dinner or two at Hotel Syracuse, and I must say
accounted for eight fine pledgees.

The initiation was held at the home of Edward F. Beadel, who was rush chair=
mane A third floor living room, which has the appearance of a small chapel, was
used. Alumni acted as officers with Beadel serving as G.P., Carroll Van Denburg
as V.G.P., Ray Holswarth as guide, and I as chaplain, and with perhaps six or eight
other alumni on hand as members. The initiation started at 5:00 o'clock and lasted
until almost 7:30. We adjourned to Hotel Syracuse for a banquete John Bachman,
who with Carroll Van Denburg act as chapter advisors, was toastmaster. John gave
a financial report which indicated that the chapter has a surplus of $1,600 on hand
at the moment, which certainly speaks well of operations through almost eleven
months of this year. All debts are paid.

Talks were made by Beadel, Jankowski, Bob Cross, one of the initiates who is
entering the Army next week, and myself. Between forty and fifty were on hand,
and I think everyone was very mch impressed, Several initiates told me they were
greatly impressed by the activities of the alumni.

Very ftraternally yours,

Dab

Mes. Allen and I acknowledge with thanks your and Vivian's
Christmas and New Years greeting. It is very thoughtful indeed of
you and I feel that we ows you a definite apwlogy for not being
able to attend your wedding.

' I% just happened that we hed the boys back for a few days
varsity practice ami since we have had so many cripples and the
absenteeism has been so astounding, I felt I simply could not get
away. Bob and it both wanted to come but they both helped me
with the team and I needed it.

I am-droping you this line to tell you that we expect to
get you something that you are in need of when you get settled.
Are you keeping house, or are you boarding? In the not too distant
future we will ascertain the needed item,

Congratulations on your new job, or your near new job. ie

PHI KAPPA PSI FRATERNITY

October 15, 1943

Dear Brothers:

It is estimated that 4,300 members of Phi Kappa Psi are now in the armed
services. You will realize this means that 90 per cent of the personnel of our
active chapters have left the campus. In fact, those 4300 Brothers in service
represent about 25 per cent of our living members.

However, it is the aim of the remaining 10 per cent of our undergraduates on
the campuses and of the officers of the Fraternity to carry on our chapters, mains
tain their organizations, preserve their chapter house properties and put Phi Kappa
Psi in a position of greater strength than ever when the war is over.

In this emergency we have to depend more than ever upon our active and in-
terested alumni Brothers. By emergency legislation passed at the Des Moines Grand
Arch Council, it has been possible to appoint alumni committees to function as
active chapters with all necessary authority to hold chapter meetings, to pledge
and to initiate. Such alumni groups are actively functioning at Minnesota Beta,
New York Beta, West Virginia Alpha, Virginia Alpha and Pennsylvania Iota. We urge
the formation of more similar committees to help and cooperate with remaining
undergraduates on the campus,

You have been pleced upon a list of about 1,000 key alumni of Phi Kappa Psi.
It is our aim to regularly furnish you with information as to the development of
the existing emergency situation in our chapters, to keep you informed as to the
actions taken by the officers of the Fraternity, and to urgently request your aid
in working with and helping your own active chapter. We have a great obligation
to return our chapters to the boys in service in the same strong condition that
they were in when they left the campus for the greater work ahead of them.

Fraternally yours,

es st,

President.

 
REPORT ON CHAPTER HOUSE ASSOCIATIONS
Septemoer 23, 194

 

N.H.ALPHA = No recent report. Does not appear that fraternity houses will be used
by the military. Report dated January, 1943, stated that no difficulty would be
experienced financially for about a year and a half.

MASS, ALPHA=- No recent report. Reported January, 1943, that house was occupied by
Navy, under a fraternity pooling deal operated by Fraternity Business Management
for the duration. They will receive enough from pooling to take care of interest
on mortgage. Mortgage held by college which has waived amortization payments for
duration.

Rei, ALPHA ~ University has leased all fraternity houses for civilian students as
Navy is using dormitories. University pays interest on mortgage, taxes, water
bill, insurance premiums, and repairs up to two per cent of assessed valuation.

NEW YORK ALPHA = Report August 2nd says that house has been leased to University
for co-ed accommodations, at rental of $2,320.00 per quarter, representing 4 per
cent of insurable value of $58,000.00. University assumes taxes, but house asso-
ciation maintains insurance and interest payments.

NEW YORK BETA « Report August 24th says that house has been leased to school for
housing of soldiers. Rental $300.00 per month. School also pays cost of storing
furniture, and all costs of operation. House association pays taxes, insurance
and interest payments. They will be able to meet mortgage payments also from rent
received.

NEW YORK GAMMA ~ Report September 7th. Dormitories at Columbia occupied to great
extent by Navy trainees, and consequently, more civilian students are living in
fraternity houses. House Corporation at present has all obligations taken care of,
but its ability to take care of these obligations in the future will depend upon
the continued operation of the Chapter.

NEW YORK EPSILON - No recent report. House occupied by the Marines, with Chapter
room still available for meeting purposes. Presumably rent received will take care
of mortgage obligations.

 

PENNA, GAMMA = The chapter house is closed. Although it can be rented to the
college, if necessary, House Association can carry fixed charges, taxes, insurance,
etc., for several years.

PENNA. EPSILON = Report September 9th. Chapter house used as Infirmary. Rental

of new house by Chapter even if membership drops to four or five members. Three
houses on campus have been occupied by military but no effort is being made to

rent the Phi Psi house. Principal payments discontinued for duration.

Dear Dr. Allen: renner s
Hurrah for the Kansas Football Team. The victory today was
certainly a swell tonic for all Jayhawkers and might be a

factor in helping the future of Kansas football.. Not only
was the victory over Missouri encouraging, but their play

throughout the season was very creditable.

I showed your letter to Tom Cordell and he has now made the
following arrangements pending on your approval. He will be
in Lawrence Thursday evening and come to your office by 9:30
Friday morning (November 26). We shall consider this appoint—
ment definite unless I receive word from you otherwise.

I certainly appreciate this favor you are doing in regard to
Cordell. Incidentally, I would like to see this boy become

a Jayhawker because he not only is a good athlete but also

a good student. He comes from a very nice family and he is
the type of boy that should make the University an ideal
student.

If I do not receive a letter from you, Tom will leave here
Thursday afternoon.

Respectfully,
