Alumni and Volunteer Involvement is the Key to Success

Brothers, As you may know, the Phi Kappa Sigma International Fraternity has been working with our Chapters over the past several years to help them understand the need to return to the principles upon which we were founded in 1850. With the help of a strong and dedicated volunteer core, we have been able to make unbelievable progress toward that goal. Now that our Chapters and the Fraternity are regaining a strong foundation, we must plan for the future by continually looking to supplement our volunteer ranks so that we can continue to further the progress for many years to come. Our successes to date involving alumni volunteers have been many but a few stand out. With the generous support of the Phi Kappa Sigma Foundation, we have been able to offer a leadership development program called “Men of Honor” for the past three years (see related article). In addition, the Phi Kappa Sigma Foundation continues to provide a great deal of money for scholarships to our undergraduate members each year. Many of our Chapters are using new recruitment techniques to attract quality young men and are averaging over 40% growth. Last spring we installed two new Chapters, Delta Pi at Indiana University and Delta Rho at Ursinus College. Through the work of our new volunteer Expansion Committee we recently colonized Miami (OH) University and re-colonized at UCLA (Alpha Psi Chapter) and will be colonizing groups at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and George Washington University by the end of this spring. In addition, we have the potential to colonize at least 2 more groups by the end of the summer and the Expansion Committee is following up on many other opportunities and has several interest groups lined up to be colonized in the next 12 months. Within 2 years, we have the potential to add 12 new colonies! This represents the most positive growth experienced to date in the 152-year history of Phi Kappa Sigma. However, in order to meet our growth goals we need your help. For many years we have seen a very strong correlation between Chapter success and alumni volunteer involvement and anytime we consider colonization, alumni support is crucial. In an effort to increase our current alumni volunteer involvement, we recently sent a letter to all Phi Kaps within one hour of an active Chapter or colony asking them to get involved on a local and/or national level by offering their support. ANY support alumni volunteers can provide a Chapter will have an impact on the Chapter’s ability to be successful. We also know that alumni volunteers reap tremendous benefits themselves. Your time, effort, and support are greatly appreciated. You’re probably wondering though “how would the Chapter benefit from my direct support?” or “how would the International Headquarters’ Organization benefit from my support?” Either way, the Chapters benefit! On the first question, while the obvious benefits would construe from a monetary or “in kind” contribution, the Chapters will benefit greatly from your experience and expertise. Our undergraduate members continually strive to improve their operations and stretch themselves constantly to uphold the values and traditions of Phi Kappa Sigma. Having been there and done that (so to speak), you can provide invaluable assistance in helping them overcome the challenges they face on a daily basis. Examples of valuable roles include serving on Alumni Boards, Housing Corporations, as Chapter Advisors, and in many other ways. On the second question, the value comes in the form of the strategic partnership that exists between the International Headquarters’ Organization and the many volunteers already actively engaged in the business of the fraternity. This partnership has been instrumental in forging our successes to date on the Executive Board, on Expansion, Insurance & Risk Management, Grand Chapter, as well as on recently formed Alumni and New Member Education committees. Volunteers are the lifeblood of this organization. We can’t do it without you! Finally, you’ll benefit as well. Helping Chapters overcome their obstacles, contributing your expertise, and participating in their activities to grow into contributing members of society will bring tremendous satisfaction; we guarantee it. Helping the International Headquarters’ Organization will ensure that our programs are targeting the needs of our customers and are being managed in a cost-efficient fashion. Our headquarters’ staff can answer all the questions you may have. Please call us anytime at 610-469-3282 or email myself ([email protected]) or Chris Hanes, Director of Chapter Services ([email protected]). We also encourage you to check out the new Phi Kappa Sigma website at www.pks.org, and while you are there, please take the time to update your contact information. Your support is sincerely appreciated. The future of Phi Kappa Sigma depends on it.

Dear Brothers,

In today's economy of shrinking equity portfolios and mounting corporate losses there is still one investment that is solid; a contribution to Phi Kappa Sigma Foundation. A contribution to Phi Kappa Sigma Foundation, in whatever amount always increases the equitable value of our brotherhood.

Your contribution to the Foundation continues to provide scholarships to our deserving undergraduate members. This past fiscal year we granted 15 scholarships in the amount of $3,000 each. The number and size of the scholarships granted puts us in the top ten per cent of all Fraternity Foundations.

Your contribution also funds the "Men of Honor" Program. The Men of Honor program is an intense four-day leadership, motivational and fraternal training session. The program returns equity to the Fraternity in the form of the men who graduate from the Men of Honor program and return to their Chapters qualified to make changes and improvement in Chapter operations and to serve as mentors to the younger brothers.

Every contribution, whether it is $5.00 or $2,500.00 is an investment in the future of our brotherhood. Your contribution improves the quality of the Fraternal experience and pays the college tuition to worthy under- graduate members.

The Phi Kappa Sigma Foundation, like other charitable organizations in this economy is suffering from decreased donations. The Foundation Directors have appropriately cut expenses. However, we need your YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE support to continue the mission that benefits our brotherhood. PHI KAPPA SIGMA FOUNDATION:

Please send a check today. An investment that never loses its equity Whatever amount you send and always pays a dividend. will create equity in the Fraternity and pay dividends to the brotherhood for years to come.

The Maltese Cross of Phi Kappa Sigma 17 Does your Since my time as an undergraduate and especially in the past year and half I have been working for the Chapter Have International Headquarters, I have greatly enjoyed reading books and articles about concepts of organizational a “Thing In behavior/development, management, leadership, motivation, and creating and sustaining change. One of

the first books I read when I came on staff was written by the Bushes” a Phi Kap Alumnus from Lambda Chapter (UNC-Chapel

You’ve seen it over and over again. Competitive Advantage and one of the main concepts There are signs of trouble in your chapter: is that organizations that fail to recognize and deal with conflict, turnover, low morale, lack of motivation, status quo bureaucracy, deep-rooted issues (blind spots) that he calls “The Thing or even hazing and alcohol abuse. You in the Bushes” will ultimately fail. In the book he refers know the routine. Officers are elected and/or an Educational Consultant comes to an organization’s structure as a “Relational Network” in with a series of recommendations. and gives nine “Relational Performance Principles” that Officers and members rally around a vision of the way things could be. serve as the keys to how well an organization relates The Educational Consultant leaves and their suggestions go unused and/or their to its members and the outside world (“Good Relational report sits on the shelf. Nothing happens… Performance is the foundation of organizations that Cynicism rises…Morale plummets… Members argue. So, new officers are successful, productive, energetic and enduring.”) are elected and another Educational While reading the book, it was easy to see how the Consultant helps create a new plan that looks and sounds a lot like the old one concepts/principles presented could be used to help with a new spin. And still nothing happens. explain and change the behavior and problems of some You know something is seriously wrong, but you don’t know what. Something of our chapters (or any organization). I contacted Mr. Ford unidentified and insidious is lurking in the shadows like a “thing in the bushes” and he allowed us to adapt and use the concepts in his and it has your chapter in a death grip. book to create a resource for our chapters. In the past It hates change. It’s the very thing that officers, members, and alumni all avoid. year and a half we have used the concepts during visits You feel its presence but don’t know and discussions with chapters and we would like to what to do about it. You know avoiding it will kill your chapter but how do you briefly share some of them now (the resource can be get the chapter to face it honestly and downloaded from www.pks.org and information about deal with it so that you can unleash a power that will propel your chapter into the book can be found at the end of this article). a new realm. Do you have the courage to face “The Thing in the Bushes?” As alluded to, “The Thing in the Bushes” is a metaphor When problems occur within the “Relational Network” to describe the unidentified and often-denied problem that of a chapter, they may be triggered by external circumstances prevents a chapter from achieving its goals. Whenever there (such as a change in University or Fraternity policy), or by is dysfunction in a chapter (or any organization), there are internal events (senior leaders graduate, a dysfunctional officer frequently two problems: (1) the identified problem and is elected, or a member or group of members is not pulling their (2) “The Thing in the Bushes.” The Identified Problem is what weight). When these problems arise, old ways of coping may people think is wrong (examples for a chapter include lack of no longer work. It’s time to step back and look at the entire alumni support, poor recruitment / low numbers, inability to pay organizational picture, the entire “Relational Network.” bills, poor grades, risk management concerns, etc.) Although it is typically unspoken, the Identified Problem is rarely the real “The Thing in the Bushes” may be known or denied, or it problem. When we assume the Identified Problem is the main may be something that no one is even aware of. “The Thing” barrier to reaching our goals as a chapter, our tendency is to is usually found lurking in the shadows of one or more of the apply inadequate or misplaced solutions that never address “Relational Performance Principles”: the reality of the situation.

Tragically, is unhealthy, and it is in these unhealthy aspects of the chapter these people are often punished as troublemakers when they are that “The Thing” hides in and does its destructive work. You actually trying to save the chapter from its own dysfunction. cannot expect “The Thing” to reveal itself directly. Rather, the “Relational Performance Principles” provide the clues for Unfortunately, most of us have a hard time recognizing the hidden, discovering its hiding place. In contrast, when these ingredients distorted, dysfunctional patterns in our relationships. We are too are strong and healthy, the chapter has a high level of “Relational close to the trouble to see our own entanglement in the overall Performance” (how well the chapter relates to students on problem. So we try to sort out the situation by separating people campus, the university administration and faculty, the community into categories. We look for perpetrators and victims, good guys around the university, and members and alumni of the chapter) and bad guys. When we frame things in such stark terms, and will most likely be successful in achieving their goals. everything seems so much clearer. But it is not clearer. We have simply reduced our perception of reality to high-contrast black A typical success equation found in healthy chapters consists of: and white. We are not viewing reality.

A change in one part affects every other part.

The Maltese Cross of Phi Kappa Sigma 19 All of the above give chapters a good standing on campus and does not regularly assess their situation to seek out any in the community, and attract new members, which is cheaper problems/“Things in the Bushes” (by having open/healthy than marketing to new members and the community by paying communication and using tools such as “SWOT,” the “Chapter for recruitment events and parties.

This keeps the chapter always training and transition), it is very easy to head back down the on the right path and ahead of the pack. However, if a chapter wrong path or slip to the rear of the pack.

Sometimes we focus on symptoms, rather than core issues in our chapter. If the fundamentals are addressed, many times the surface issues begin to take care of themselves.
