Fraternity Plays Big Brother Role
"Big Brother" will be watching over a nine-year-old Lawrence boy for one year.
This is not the "Big Brother" of 1984 fame, but instead members of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity, who will be "Big Brothers" to the fatherless youth.
EARLIER THIS year, several members of the fraternity thought of this idea and began working with the Lawrence Welfare Office to devise a workable plan.
The program will consist of taking the boy to shows and games and providing anything he needs for school, and having him stay in the AKL house overnight on some weekends, Bruce Cook, Newton junior and chairman of the committee, said.
If the idea works out, another boy might be sponsored later, Cook said. AKL will sponsor the program for a trial period of one year. The boy, who lives in a foster home, was chosen by the committee and the Lawrence Welfare Office.
"THE YOUNG BOY will not be the only one to benefit from the program. The fraternity members will also gain by promoting one of our ideals, aggressive Christian character," Cook said.
AKL is presently the only fraternity in Kansas sponsoring a
program of this type; however, members of the committee hope that other fraternities at KU will be encouraged to start similar programs, Cook said.
