The most trusted man in America – a Chi Phi man – died July 17, 2009, at the age of 92. HIS LIFE Walter Cronkite, Nu 1937, served as the face of TV Photos courtesy of Robert Emerson, Rho Iota Kappa 1972 journalism for nearly 20 years as the anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News.
He broke the news to the country of the Kennedy assassination. He cheered when the U.S. sent a man to the moon. He unexpectedly set in motion a meeting between Egyptian President Anwar El-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, the first between the warring nations.
His journalism career began soon after joining the Nu Chapter at the University of Texas. There, he was initiated into Chi Phi on February 24, 1934.
Between classes and his fraternity activities, he took a part-time job at the Houston Post. He ultimately left college before graduating to pursue his love of journalism.
After working as a sportscaster in Oklahoma City, he took a job with the United Press in 1939. One of his first assignments was to cover World War II in Europe.
While covering the Battle of the Bulge, he discovered two other reporters were also Chi Phi men. The three war correspondents were sharing a small tent near the stalled American front lines. After a day in the field, all three picked up their mail, and all three had a copy of the Chakett waiting for them. Until then, none of the men realized the others were Chi Phi brothers.
Throughout his career, he remained connected to Chi Phi and outspoken about fraternity life.
In 1957, while still a commentator for CBS (and not yet anchor), Cronkite attended the concluding banquet of the Interfraternity Council Greek Week at Rutgers University. Undergraduates and more than 100 alumni from the classes of 1902 through 1956 heard Cronkite extol the virtues of fraternity life.
"Fraternities are part of the American way of life," Cronkite explained. He continued, "having fun and laughing are part of the American way of life and are things we should never lose. If we were to lose these things, our way of life would sink to the level it is in Russia and its satellites." CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 >

During that same tour, he visited Emory University. According to Miles Crowder, Gamma 1963, Pi Delta 1969, Cronkite autographed a special copy of his book and asked that it be presented to the "Chi Phi Chapter at Emory."
Years later, Cronkite narrated an audio recording of Nu Chapter's earliest recorded history as taken from the Nu Record, an alumni publication published in 1910. Cronkite's recording is featured prominently in the Nu Rob McCartney, Alpha Theta Chi 1984 Alumni Association's Order of 1892 initiation ceremony, and it is played and Bill Randby, Nu Delta 1986 take aloud each year at the annual Founders Weekend. time away from the evening news at KETV to participate in the Alpha Always a Chi Phi supporter, Cronkite made 27 different contributions to Theta Chi Alumni Golf Tournament the Fraternity and Educational Trust during his lifetime. in July 2009.

In 1963, Cronkite addressed a crowd I took a great deal more from my fraternity than I gave – at the University of Texas about the but what I took was a very great deal – companionship of benefits of fraternity life and the the highest possible order, self-confidence born of important role it plays in America. belonging to a group of which I was proud, enrichment of my personal life which gave all of my college career an added dimension and even an extra bond to seal life-long friendships that already existed. And my high school buddies who came to college with me, after the experience of our fraternity, were bound together much tighter than they ever could have been previously.
I found certain guidance by example in gentlemanly conduct. They call it the social graces in a girls' school. But gentlemanly conduct I learned. I took off my yellow shoes and put on a tuxedo, I suppose you would say. I was introduced to girls, most of whom I couldn't afford. I count that as a blessing though. And in later years I have been provided with an introduction to some very, very pleasant people whom I might not have known if it hadn't been for my fraternity association.
I think we all agree that fraternities cannot occupy the center of the stage at any university or college. They may not intrude upon the principal job of getting an education any more than a man after years can let his favorite sport, bowling or golf, interfere with getting his job done. I think our young do need guidance and the priority of things. I think this guidance, however, need not be hard to find. The older men in the undergraduate ranks in a fraternity certainly can provide it, and if they can't, and if they need help themselves, certainly the counselors, the advisors to the chapter can provide it if they are doing their job. We must assume that what we are talking about is the By Walter Cronkite, Nu 1937 ideal fraternity where people do the jobs that are assigned to them and that must be done.

Indeed, one of the great things that fraternities do fraternity from becoming to an individual something that on our campuses, it seems to me, is to push their the fraternity is not.

Providing Opportunities
Students, Chapters & Chi Phi Richard Lane, Kappa Delta 1993 and his wife, Molly, recently joined the MacLean Will All Benefit Thanks to a Legacy Society by making an estate gift to $100,000 Estate Gift from Richard Lane benefit Chi Phi and three special chapters.
In the Winter 2006 edition of the Chakett, newly elected Grand Alpha Richard Lane, Kappa Zeta 1993, wrote, "Chi Phi stands on the cusp of great achievement . . . I am ready to help our fraternity capitalize on unprecedented opportunities."
Opportunities are precisely what Lane is going to provide to generations of Chi Phi members long after he is gone.
Thanks to a provision in their family trust, Richard and Molly Lane will contribute a portion of their final estate to four groups within Chi Phi:
• One-half will provide unrestricted support to the Chi Phi Educational Trust.
• The remaining one-half will be divided equally to support the scholarship and educational initiatives of three Chi Phi chapters: Lane's home chapter, Kappa Zeta at Purdue University, Xi Delta at the Florida Institute of Technology in his hometown of Melbourne, Florida and Mu Zeta at the University of Denver.
The former Grand Alpha was prompted to include Chi Phi in his family estate plan after he and his wife, Molly, were blessed with the birth of their second child, Henry, in February 2009. Between midnight feedings, changing diapers and raising their first child, Gretchen, they decided it was time to review their estate plan.
"I'm a big believer that everyone should take the time to examine how their assets will transition to their heirs," said Lane. "I also believe you should give as much of your money to family and important causes after you die before you give any of it to the government."
While making updates to provide for their new son, the Lanes decided it was also time to provide for an institution that has profoundly impacted Richard’s life – Chi Phi.
"Chi Phi was the place where I formed friendships that have transcended the years," said Lane. "The men who stood by my side on my wedding day were Chi Phi's. The values of Chi Phi have and will continue to guide me through the rest of my life, and I want those values to guide others long after I'm gone."
Capitalizing on unprecedented opportunities was what Lane hoped to accomplish when he began his term as Grand Alpha. Because of his generosity, he is going to create unprecedented opportunities for three particular chapters and the entire fraternity and leave a legacy that will outlast his own mortality.

A Commitment to Leadership Education:
Ron Frank Pledges $50,000 to Expand Ron Frank, Nu Delta 1983 Chi Phi's Leadership Offerings
Former Grand Alpha Ron Frank, Nu Delta 1983, Iota Zeta 1989, Delta Zeta 2000, is one of Chi Phi's shining stars. He's held almost every position an alumnus can hold at the national, regional and local level.
"I have a unique perspective," explained Frank. "I've worked on the front lines with several different chapters, and I've seen the value and benefit of having strong leaders running those chapters. Students don't get this intense leadership training anywhere else on campus like they do while in a fraternity."
"I also have a national view," he continued. "Strong leaders will not only make strong chapters, but strong chapters make for a strong Fraternity. Leadership education and training is critical for both our undergraduate and alumni members, and I'm happy to support the bold initiative Chi Phi is now developing."
Since his initiation by the Nu Delta Chapter at the Florida State University in 1981, Frank held several offices as an undergraduate, has worked to colonize and charter a chapter at George Mason University, and served as the Alumni Association President for Nu Delta. He also served the entire State of Florida as President of the Florida Alumni Club for several years.
A pillar in the Chi Phi community, many alumni regard Frank as the man who saved Chi Phi when it experienced some of its most difficult times in the early 2000s. During that tumultuous period, Frank served an unprecedented five years as Grand Alpha from 2000 to 2005.
Throughout his involvement and many roles, Frank has remained committed to developing and enhancing the leadership programs available to Chi Phi undergraduates. The former Dean of the Chi Phi College of Excellence has spent his volunteer career focusing on character-building activities within the Fraternity. At the 2009 Chi Phi Congress in Denver, Colorado, Frank officially returned to a national leadership position when Grand Alpha Soderquist named him Grand Beta of the Fraternity.
In recognition of Frank's long-term commitment to Chi Phi and his desire to see the Fraternity succeed and prosper in the twenty-first century, Frank has agreed to make a $50,000 cash gift to the Chi Phi Educational Trust. One-half of this gift ($25,000) will fund the Ronald P. Frank, Nu Delta 1983 Quality Enhancement Fund, a non-endowed fund to be used by the Chi Phi Educational Trust where the Trustees believe the need is greatest. The other half will provide start-up and operational support to develop a comprehensive values-based leadership education continuum and multi-year membership development program for the Fraternity.
