I JANUARY, 1920 NO.2 THE LAUREL lOTA CHAPTER INSTALLED The Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity,-our Fraternity-cr pt ne n tch higher in its trend upward on January 15 when it offi cially added to its Chapter Roll its Iota Chapter, nee Delta Gamma Rho of Coe College, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. To depart from the present high standard f its Chapter per­ sonel is not the policy of the Fraternity, and to the contrary it is the policy of the Fraternity always to reach just a little higher w ith every step. The Grand Chapter, in recommending Delta Gamma Rho to the Councils kept this policy firmly in mind. The Grand Field Secretary made his usual inspection and a good report hom his office sufficed to impress upon the Chapters that the Grand Chapter had acted for the betterment of the Fraternity in allowing Delta Gamma Rho to petition. The petition passed every Council and the Charter has been granted. The dates of installation were set for January 14 and 15, and plans were well perfected by that date. A degree team campo ed of B.ros. Arthur T. Amerine, Grand Ritualist; Scheuffler and Nelson of Gamma; Foley of Alpha; and Crews of Zeta gave every effort toward giving the incoming brothers an impressive ceremony, and satisfaction was the re­ sult. The beauty and impressiveness of the ceremonies were enhanced by the use of the first new standard ritualistic kit to be i ued to an in­ coming Chapter. Bro. J. M. Knappenberger, Grand Field Secretary, spent the greater part of his time in going over with the President of the incoming Chapter the routine work and record of the Fraternit . Twenty men were initiated by the degree team. The fir t man re­ ceived the ceremony at 9 o'clock on \iVednesday morninrr, January 1-t and the last man at 1 o'clock on Thur day afternoon, Januar 15. The Chapter Roll follows. The first two men nam d. are two of th ori ina! . founders of Delta Gamma Rho, Bro. vVeber being the man wh had charge of extension for his fraternity, and the two last named men ar Brothers in Facultate at C<ie: George McDonald D erby hire.

Dancing was the order of the day dp.rjng dinner, alter~ nating with the toasts. Bra.. Edmund B. Shaw• .a .s toastmaster, called upon Bro. Knappenberger for a toast to "The National." Bro. Knappen­ berger, in his talk, touched upon tRe history and ideals of Phi Kappa Ta'-1 and upon the standar.ds whkh Phi Kappa Ta1;1 felt would be carried out at Coe by the new Chapter. Bro. Weber then responded with an excel­ lent address on "The Local," in which he touched upon the new scheme of things the Chapter was to face and how they would be carried out. Bro. Newcomb concluded the program with two excellent tenor solos. Dancing was then again the program until 11 o'clock. The degree team left at 2 o'clock Friday morning feeling that they had inde d been granted a rare privilege in being allowed to as i t in in tailing the Iota Chapter.

EDWARD EWING BRANDON Chairman of the Grand Executive Council If any member of Phi Kappa T au has the i lea that non of our brothers have gained nation-wide prominence, it mi ght be well to call his attention to some of the nam('s that may be found in Who's Who. Among these is the name of Edgar Ewing Brandon. Dr: Brandon was born in York Springs, Pa., fifty-five years ago. His father, a farmer, soon moved with the family to Missouri, and Dr. Brandon spent nearly all of his early life in that state. His boyhood days were interesting and full of incid.ents that m~rk him as an active chap. One of his adventures put him in the way of a mowing machine, and he was run over, but that did not seem to cut up any of his ambition. ·Another time he had the misfortune to freeze his feet, but even that did not stop his going. While he was still young, a rattle-snake bite almost ended his career, but by the aid of a former well known antidote he survived the attack. But since he was not accus­ tomed to the use of the antidote, it not only . acted as a cure, but also asserted its value as a stimulant, and for the first and last time of his life, the young man walked a crooked line. He started. to college at Sedalia University, Sedalia, Mo., and finished .the A. B. course at- the University of Michigan. Later he re­ ceived his M. A. at the University of Missouri and then a Ph. D. at the University of Paris. Aftet leaving school he started as a newspaper

    Asher M. Daniel ’17 Dartmouth College Oral History Program SpeakOut November 11, 2018 Transcribed by Mim Eisenberg/WordCraft [ELIZABETH A.] JANOWSKI: Hello. This is Elizabeth [A.] Janowski from the Dartmouth College Class of 2021. Today is November 11th, 2018, and the current time is 12:24 p.m. I’m here in Baker-Berry Library in Hanover, New Hampshire, speaking with Asher [M.] Daniel, a former Dartmouth College student from the fall of 2013 to the winter of 2018. Asher is speaking with me from his home in Chelsea, Oklahoma. The following interview is part of the Rauner [Special Collections] Library’s SpeakOut projects, an oral history project focused on recording the memories and experiences of Dartmouth’s LGBTQIA+ community. So, all right, Asher, I thought we could start at the very beginning, and let’s just talk about where home is to you. So where were you born, and where did you grow up? DANIEL: Well, I was born not too far from where I’m at right now. I was born in a small hospital in Claremore, Oklahoma, and then proceeded to grow up in the little town of Chelsea. I think it was, like, only 200 people here. Quite a little small town, where I lived until I left for school. Very small little community, very close knit. A little interesting. My family did not fit in the most, but we’re—my—none—none of my family—like some other families was from a small town. My mom was from California. My dad grew up in Arkansas.

    Sharang Biswas ’12 Dartmouth College Oral History Program Dartmouth Community and Dartmouth’s World May 12, 2013 WOMICK: So to get us started off, my name is Cally Womick, and I’m here with Sharang Biswas. We are in Collis, and today is Sunday, May 12th, 2013. So to get us started, why don’t you talk about where you grew up? BISWAS: So I was born in New Delhi, India, and I spent the first few years of my life there. Then there was a period where I moved back and forth from the United Arab Emirates and India, so I spent, like, a year in the UAE and then came back and then a year and came back. It’s actually very confusing. Then, when I was, like, 7-ish, we again move to the UAE and stayed there, so from 7 ‘til I came to Dartmouth, I was in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. WOMICK: Okay. What kind of schools did you attend? BISWAS: So in India, I attended a little bit of a—kind of an elite private school, G.D. Goenka Public School, so in India it used the British system, and a “public” school in that system is equivalent to a “private” school here, while I know in England a “government” school is what would be a “public” school here, so it’s called G.D. Goenka Public School, but it’s a private school. We had to wear, like, blazers. Like, I had a red blazer. I learned what the word “blazer” was.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] PHI KAPPA TAU FOUNDATION EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RESIGNS TYLER WASH’S TENURE WILL END IN FEBRUARY January 17, 2017: Oxford, Ohio—Phi Kappa Tau announced today that Tyler Wash, Georgetown ’06, will resign as the executive director of the Phi Kappa Tau Foundation effective February 1. Wash will become the executive vice president of the Delta Sigma Pi Leadership Foundation. Delta Sigma Pi is that nation’s leading co-ed professional business fraternity with nearly 300 chapters and over 265,000 initiates and is headquartered in Oxford, Ohio. Wash enjoyed a nine-year tenure on Phi Kappa Tau’s professional staff, with four years as the Foundation’s executive director. Wash's leadership as the executive director has seen transformational advancements throughout many aspects of the Foundation. The key achievement was the creation and execution of the Foundation’s first comprehensive strategic plan. The Foundation’s Brotherhood Fund (annual giving) grew steadily year after year and is now at an all-time high under Wash’s leadership. During this time, the Foundation also launched intentional major gift and planned giving programs, which created a dedicated focus on transformational giving. In addition to his service as the executive director, Wash served as the 20th editor-in-chief of the Laurel, Phi Kappa Tau’s magazine. During his tenure as editor-in-chief, Wash oversaw a complete redesign of the magazine, including the visual appearance and content direction. “His presence will be missed, but the foundation he has laid will find the organization light-years down the road from the day he began.” remarked CEO Tim Hudson, Truman State ’97.

  • Fraternities & Sororities
    Guide to Fraternities & Sororities 2011-2012 GreetinGs from Fraternity & sorority Affairs! Welcome to the university of Rochester Fraternity and Sorority community! Whether you are a fraternity/sorority member, a prospective member, a parent, faculty or staff member, student, or a guest of the university, we are happy to welcome and introduce you to the unique, and award-winning, community of fraternities/sororities in the College. The uR fraternity/sorority system is aligned with the educational philosophy of the College. due to the intentional connection to the academic mission of the College, the organizations appreciate the value of being a part of a learning community. We support a framework that assumes fraternities and sororities can and want to be successful and that the College’s role is to expect and to provide support for their success. The system stresses the importance of autonomy of action within a framework of shared systems, goals, and objectives (expectations for excellence). We believe our success-driven model represents a unique and effective model for the university of Rochester. We are proud of the success achieved by both our chapters and individual members. Annually uR chapters and members are recognized with top national awards for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, programming, service, and risk management. Many members of our fraternity/sorority community are also leaders of a variety of organizations on campus including, but not limited to, Student Government, Class Councils, cultural groups, and academic undergraduate councils. We are fortunate to have many faculty and staff, including thed ean of Students, the dean of Freshmen, and the dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, involved as Chapter Advocates who volunteer to assist organizations in planning and implementing their expectations for excellence and related programs.
