Foreword

Welcome to the beginning of your journey with the PHI DELTA CHI Professional Pharmacy Fraternity! Now that you have officially dedicated yourself to learning more about our organization and professed your willingness to complete the requirements necessary to become a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI, your formal education about the organization can begin.

Brothers Dean McCann, Dick Parent, and Dick Smith of Omicron Chapter organized PHI DELTA CHI’s first Pledging Manual on November 2, 1951. In 1965, Brothers of Lambda Chapter revised the Manual, led by Brother Robert Patterson. Subsequent revisions occurred in 1976, led by Beta Beta Chapter; in 1983, led by Delta Chapter and delegates to the 1983 Grand Council; in 1987, led by Alpha Eta Chapter; and between 1998 and 2005, coordinated by Dave Karls and Michael Mohundro. This seventh edition was coordinated by the combined efforts of the Brother Education Committee. Each edition has benefitted from input from Brothers across the country.

This iteration of the education manual was designed to help facilitate and foster an interactive and enjoyable series of sessions dedicated to learning more about PHI DELTA CHI – past, present, and future. As you work through this manual with the Chapter’s Facilitator and your fellow Candidates, be mindful of the rich history on which PHI DELTA CHI is founded, and be aware that you can be the future of PHI DELTA CHI.

Use this manual as a guide throughout your candidacy and beyond. This manual represents the minimum expected education of a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI. We encourage you to go above and beyond to learn more about PHI DELTA CHI and to get more involved as your journey continues.

Just as learning never ceases for a pharmacist to ensure professional competency, your learning and understanding of PHI DELTA CHI will continue to evolve and grow with time. The more you are willing to invest in PHI DELTA CHI, the more you will receive in return. The benefits of being a Brother are many and they span both your professional and personal realms. PHI DELTA CHI unifies its Brothers through common history, purpose, and Ritual. Becoming a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI is not temporary – we are all Brothers for Life.

Dedication

Candidates, no Brother in PHI DELTA CHI’s history has shaped the Fraternity’s programs or touched as many of our lives as Brother Ralph Saroyan has. Founding Father Azor Thurston was referred to as PHI DELTA CHI’s Grand Old Man, having served as Grand President from 1915 through 1921. Rand P. Hollenback -- a Grand Officer from 1923 through 1965 -- was called the Brother who had crossed paths with more Brothers than anyone.

Undoubtedly, with the accumulation of Chapters and Brothers we enjoy today, it is Ralph L. Saroyan who is unsurpassed in embracing change, inspiring successive generations, and constantly seeking more and better ways for PHI DELTA CHI Brothers to help each other and help our profession. Regional Director from 1970-78, Grand Officer from 1978--95, PLEI Board of Directors from 1996--present.

Ralph, we salute you, we love you, and we dedicate this Manual to you, recognizing your exemplary leadership, each of us wishing we could be a little bit more like you.

Candidates, heed well the counsel from Brother Ralph on the next page.

Candidate –

Congratulations on making one of the more significant decisions of your college life! You have been recruited and selected as someone who will benefit from and contribute to your Chapter and PHI DELTA CHI. Based on the half century of fraternal life I have enjoyed in PHI DELTA CHI, I promise that you will look back on this event as one that changed the trajectory of your professional career.

To help you learn more about the organization you are joining, this PHI DELTA CHI Education Manual will provide you with valuable insights and information. This edition — which has been updated in very important ways to reflect life in the 21st century — will prepare you for active membership in your Chapter and help you discover what it means to be PHI DELTA CHI for life.

PHI DELTA CHI is the professional fraternity of pharmacy that has “leader development” as its primary mission. This is an important distinction of our Fraternity, one that I hope is central to the bond that has formed between you and PHI DELTA CHI. Although the mantra “leaders in pharmacy” was used by the Fraternity as early as the 1950s, it was in 1989 that our first national Leader-Development Seminar was held, during the Grand Council in Monterey, California. The following year, PHI DELTA CHI began sponsoring biennial Leader-Development Seminars. This program — now administered and expanding through our foundation, the Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute, PLEI — has touched the lives of thousands of collegiate and Alumni Brothers by providing “personal” and “leader” development through a four-day immersion course.

During your Candidacy period, the old cliché, “You will get from PHI DELTA CHI what you put into it,” is particularly relevant. You will challenge yourself as a future leader of the Fraternity and the Pharmacy Profession as well as the Community you will serve. As such, you must balance various aspects of life, including time with family and friends, your health and fitness, your career, and service to your profession and community. During your pharmacy studies, PHI DELTA CHI will act as a fulcrum, helping you to reach this balance. If, however, at any time during your membership education you feel overloaded, rely on our motto, Alterum Alterius Auxilio Eget, or Each Needs the Help of the Other, to get the assistance you need.

Finally, Brotherhood in PHI DELTA CHI is a lifelong commitment that goes far beyond your time spent in school. If you are not willing to make this lifetime commitment, I suggest that you reconsider your membership at once. On the other hand, if you have the grit, passion, and perseverance to make this commitment, I wish you a fraternal experience as wonderful, fulfilling, and rewarding as my journey has been.

Good luck,

Ralph L. Saroyan 25th Grand President 1981-89 Alpha Psi #128

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Definitions To ensure clarity of communication between Chapters, Chapter Officers, Regional Officers, National Officers, and non-members, the following definitions are provided.

CANDIDATE– An individual pursuing study in the profession of pharmacy, who has made a commitment to learn more about becoming a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI and is actively pursuing membership within PHI DELTA CHI. This title is used from the time a Candidate receives their PHI DELTA CHI Candidate pin until completion of the formal initiation ceremony.

CANDIDATE CLASS – A group of several Candidates training together toward membership in PHI DELTA CHI.

RECRUITMENT – The time during which collegiate and Alumni Brothers of PHI DELTA CHI seek to recruit new members to the Fraternity. Synonymous with rush. Recruitment can include social activities to meet potential candidates and should also include informational activities to describe PHI DELTA CHI’s mission, vision, and values.

CANDIDATE SELECTION – An invitation from a Chapter of PHI DELTA CHI to potential Candidates, inviting them to continue to the Candidacy period, if they so desire. Chapters are not required to extend an invitation to every interested person if the Chapter does not feel that person would be a productive and active member of the Fraternity. Chapters may not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, or other personal characteristics specified by federal law or their host university. Candidates will be given a Candidate pin to be worn throughout the Candidacy period until initiated.

COLLEGIATE BROTHER – A Brother of PHI DELTA CHI who has completed the formal initiation ceremony and is currently completing their studies in an academic pharmacy program. This title is used until the Brother becomes an Alumni Brother.

ALUMNI BROTHER – A Brother of PHI DELTA CHI who has graduated from pharmacy school, has transferred to a different pharmacy school that has no Chapter of PHI DELTA CHI, or has left their college or university and does not continue in a course of pharmacy study elsewhere. Brotherhood in PHI DELTA CHI is a lifelong commitment that lasts beyond the time spent pursuing a pharmacy degree. Alumni Brothers are expected to participate actively in Fraternity matters. Many leadership positions within PHI DELTA CHI are filled by Alumni Brothers.

BIG BROTHER – A collegiate Brother paired to a Candidate as a mentor regarding Fraternity matters and also as a guide for the Candidate during their education process and throughout their collegiate career (and perhaps beyond). Family lineage through a string of Big Brothers is a link within the fraternal bond that a Candidate shares with their Big Brother or Candidate Parent.

BROTHERS FOR LIFE – The spirit of PHI DELTA CHI carried within, wherever he or she may go.

DEFINITIONS Page 9 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

GRADUATE BROTHER – A person who is engaged in professional pharmacy or its allied fields, who has joined PHI DELTA CHI after graduation. Candidates for Graduate Brother must be accepted by a ¾ vote of the collegiate Chapter at which they will initiate, pay an Initiation Fee, and complete the formal initiation ceremony. Once initiated, Graduate Brothers assume the status of Alumni Brothers and are extended all privileges as such. Example – a faculty member who was not initiated into any other professional pharmacy fraternity during their schooling, who wishes to become a member of PHI DELTA CHI. Most often applies to faculty members, so that they may become Chapter advisors.

HONORARY BROTHER – A person who has distinguished himself or herself in the profession of pharmacy and is accepted by a ¾ vote of the collegiate Chapter and majority approval of the Executive Council. The individual must sign the Constitution of PHI DELTA CHI and agree to respect the confidentiality of that part of the Fraternity Ritual known as Omicron. Example – a pharmacy school Dean or faculty member, whom the collegiate Chapter wishes to recognize as having distinguished himself or herself in the profession of pharmacy. Honorary Brothers are rare and a very distinguished classification restricted to those who have excelled in the profession.

INITIATION – The formal event featuring the Ritual whereby a Candidate becomes a Brother of the Fraternity of PHI DELTA CHI. The Candidates will be introduced to our Ritual and participate in activities with current Brothers designed to help the Candidates understand the weighty obligation they are taking on and further elaborate on our founding principles. Each individual must receive a favorable ¾ vote of the collegiate Chapter that he or she wishes to join to be allowed to proceed with initiation.

PROFESSIONAL DAY – Some Chapters may choose to have a designated day during which Brothers and Candidates are required to dress more formally on campus. A Professional Day can be used to show the respect we hold for our Fraternity, and often is done on the same day a Formal Meeting is held. While Candidates are not allowed to attend Formal Meetings of the Chapter until after initiation, participation in a Professional Day with Brothers is encouraged and the Candidate pin should be worn with pride.

BUDDY CHAPTER – Each year, as part of the Achievement Award Program (AAP; see Module 6 – Achievement Award Program for more information), each Chapter is assigned a Buddy Chapter. These Chapters connect at least twice during the academic year to receive credit within the AAP. Chapter pairs are encouraged to connect more frequently and use their Buddy Chapter as a resource to learn new ideas for events, to help work through any Chapter difficulties, and to complete professional, service, social, or fundraising events together, as able.

Orientation

You will get from PHI DELTA CHI what you put into it. You will learn about the ideals, history, and personality of PHI DELTA CHI. In addition, you will challenge yourself as a future Leader in Pharmacy. As a future leader, you must balance multiple aspects of life, including time with family and friends, your health, your professional career, and service to the community. During your pharmacy studies, PHI DELTA CHI acts as a fulcrum and a guide star, helping you to reach this balance. If, however, at any time during your education you feel overloaded, tell your Facilitator or Big Brother. Remember, Alterum Alterius Auxilio Eget, meaning Each Needs the Help of the Other.

The Initial Pledge of Brotherhood and Fidelity is not to be taken lightly. You have committed to the next stage of becoming a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI. With that commitment, you have assumed great responsibility and traditional obligations.

Each Candidate of PHI DELTA CHI should endeavor to show the utmost respect for the Fraternity. Throughout the fraternal education process, a Candidate should be sincere in his or her efforts to learn about the association to which he or she has made a formal commitment. Lack of effort or sincerity is grounds for admonishment of the Candidate by the Facilitator, including requiring remedial work, additional tasks to show sincerity, and, if necessary, removal from Candidacy. As a member of this Fraternity, an individual becomes a Brother for Life, which demands the utmost respect and sincerity for the Fraternity, its members, its Ritual, and its ideals.

Upon committing to the Fraternity, a man or woman surrenders no legal or social rights, no family or personal affiliations, nor any more or religious ideals or standards. The person’s status changes only in that new responsibilities and special obligations have been voluntarily assumed. With those obligations, certain rights and privileges are acquired.

During fraternal education, Candidates learn to act together as a team. As a team, they learn to integrate themselves into the larger team that is the collegiate Chapter. This “blending of waters” is a challenge and an opportunity for both Candidates and Brothers to demonstrate Fraternalism, repeated cyclically each semester or year.

The Fraternity, by its very name, is a Brotherhood. Therefore, a Candidate has the right to expect treatment like that of a Brother. The Candidate also has the right to fair consideration and treatment from those with more fraternal experience. It is the right and privilege of the Candidate to make known wants or needs and to offer suggestions to the Chapter through his or her Big Brother. This Big Brother is appointed as a Fraternal guide.

Candidates should have complete confidence in their Big Brothers. Candidates should discuss freely all aspects of the Fraternity without fear of criticism. Each Big Brother should offer careful guidance and advice. Open minds and listening ears are primary requirements for Big Brothers. Big Brothers can often forestall problems in fraternal education and trouble with the collegiate Chapter by proper counseling.

ORIENTATION Page 11 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Fraternal Education Meetings Your Candidate Class will meet regularly with your Facilitator to discuss the Fraternity and plan projects. Just as pharmacy class work requires preparation in advance, you must read sections of this Manual and complete assignments before these meetings. Attendance is mandatory. If other duties conflict with a meeting, contact your Facilitator in advance to make special arrangements. Bring this Manual to all meetings (electronically or on paper). This Manual belongs to the Fraternity until your initiation; thereafter you may keep it. Before each meeting, read the specified material for that session; before learning new material, you will be quizzed on material previously assigned. The modules will often require you to explore the Fraternity website, www.phideltachi.org. You can also “like” PHI DELTA CHI on Facebook® and follow our posts there.

Measuring Your Progress The Facilitator will quiz you on the material cumulatively to date, at the beginning of each session. The Facilitator then will discuss material for the current session. Finally, you will meet in specific committees or informally to get to know your Candidate Class and the Chapter better. You may be asked to give short presentations or write short essays. We expect you to be self-directed and self-motivated. Teamwork is key. We work together on projects and enjoy free time together. Everyone must participate, according to his or her ability. Our Brotherhood is open to you, and a lifelong fraternal bond awaits you. Be resourceful: this Manual contains many, but not all, answers. Consult Chapter Officers, Brothers of the Chapter, your Big Brother, the Chapter Advisor, Regional Officers, Grand Officers, or the National Office as needed.

The expectation for each Candidate is to achieve a cumulative score of 83% on quizzes. If a candidate is found to be performing inadequately on multiple quizzes, the Facilitator will discuss performance with the Candidate and, if necessary, create a remediation plan to ensure continued success of the Candidate. This may include reviewing past material and retaking quizzes. If, after taking corrective action, the Candidate is still found to be performing inadequately, the Candidate may be asked to discontinue Candidacy. There will additionally be a final exam given on the day of Initiation to confirm your understanding of our association and the information in this education manual.

Candidate Pin Early during your fraternal education, you will be presented with a small, triangular, Old Gold & Dregs of Wine pin (your Candidate Pin). Treat this pin with the utmost respect. Wear this pin over your heart at all times until Initiation, as a public display of your commitment to PHI DELTA CHI. Remember that your actions while wearing this pin reflect upon the Fraternity as a whole, for better or worse. Be mindful of your actions.

ACTIVITY: Together with your Facilitator and the members of your Candidate Class, gather the missing information and write it in the open spaces below.

Candidate Class Projects We expect each Candidate Class of PHI DELTA CHI to complete at least one professional project, one social event, and one fundraising event. Planning and executing successful projects in these categories

The Chapter collegiate dues, after initiation, are $______, due by ______(date/frequency).

Additional Notes:

Scholastic Requirements PHI DELTA CHI on the national level does not set minimum scholastic requirements for entry.

Brotherhood Book The Chapter will provide you with a book to record your interaction with collegiate and Alumni Brothers of the Chapter. We expect you to interview each collegiate Brother, specified members of the pharmacy faculty, key local Alumni Brothers, and others designated by the Facilitator. In turn, they will interview you. Complete these interviews before Initiation. Your Facilitator will instruct you on how to compile these two-way interviews into a collection.

Meetings with Brothers There are certain meetings of Brothers that Candidates will not be able to attend, due to the restricted nature of our Ritual. As part of your initiation, you will experience our Fraternity’s Ritual and learn the meaning behind it. Until that time, the Chapter may expect you to attend various non-formal meetings of the Chapter, in addition to Candidate meetings, to better understand the workings of the Chapter.

The Chapter expects:

Note Carefully: PHI DELTA CHI forbids hazing. If you identify any problems with regard to hazing or possible hazing, inform your Facilitator, the Worthy Chief Counselor, or a Chapter Officer as soon as possible. You can also report possible hazing on the PHI DELTA CHI website at www.phideltachi.org under “See Something, Say Something.” See Module 1 for more information on Risk Management and hazing.

Risk Management 1

What is Risk Management? Risk management is a critical topic to preserve the health and well-being of the Fraternity and its Brothers. It is part of a process meant to determine the level of acceptable professional and fraternal participation. At the 58th Grand Council (Baltimore, 1991), the Brotherhood voted to adopt a Risk Management Policy. By fulfilling this policy, the Fraternity helps reduce the likelihood that personal injury or legal issues will occur during a Chapter function or during the education process.

While alcohol misuse and abuse are the main issue first considered when discussing risk management, behaviors that put individuals and Chapters at risk include hazing, sexual abuse and disregard for fire, health and safety policies. Chapters have found themselves facing devastating consequences as a result of deviation from the written Education Manual and Ritual ceremony.

Brothers and Candidates are strongly encouraged to explore the meaning of the Risk Management Policy and to promote its adoption by Brothers and Candidates. The policy protects the Chapter from negative outcomes and image. Chapters are urged to conduct routine Chapter activity assessments to assure the policy is being adhered to and evaluate how well these policies are understood and followed for future educational efforts. It is essential that the Chapter grant the highest priority to Risk Management.

To facilitate the understanding of risk management by all PHI DELTA CHI Brothers, each Chapter is highly encouraged to conduct or sponsor a professional project concerning topics found within our Risk Management Policy. This module includes tools to support Chapters in promoting and adhering to risk management policies to protect the Fraternity and the collegiate Chapters as well as to look out and care for one another. Some of the topics addressed in this module include hosting parties, running parties where attendees provide their own refreshments, and ideas for dry social activities. See the summary in the accompanying table.

Risk management does not have to be limiting or perceived negatively. Its intent is to promote safe activities and limit liability for the Chapter and Fraternity as a whole. The Risk Management Policy is printed in its entirety in this module and should be reviewed by all candidates before proceeding any further with the fraternal education process.

ACTIVITY: Read through and discuss the various parts of the Risk Management Policy below.

MODULE 1 – RISK MANAGEMENT Page 16 of 85

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

PHI DELTA CHI PHARMACY FRATERNITY Policy 58-2-5: Risk Management

The Risk Management Policy of the Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity includes the provisions that follow and shall apply to all fraternity entities and all levels of fraternity membership.

ALCOHOL AND DRUGS 1. The possession, use and/or consumption of ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, while on Chapter premises, during an official fraternity event, or in any situation sponsored or endorsed by the Chapter, must be compliant with all applicable laws of the state, province, county, city and university.

2. No alcoholic beverages, in any quantity, may be purchased through the chapter treasury nor may the purchase of the same for Brothers or guests be undertaken or coordinated by any Brother in the name of or on behalf of the Chapter during an official fraternity function. a.

3. No Chapter Brothers, collectively or individually, shall purchase for, serve to, or sell alcoholic beverages to any minor (i.e., those under legal “drinking age”).

4. No Chapter or Brother shall possess, use, sell, or facilitate distribution for non-medical purposes any controlled substances (including marijuana) or other mind altering substances while on Chapter premises, during any Chapter event, or at any event or activity that an observer may associate with the Fraternity.

5. No Chapter may co-sponsor an event with an alcohol distributor, charitable organization, or establishment generating more than half of annual gross sales from alcohol; where alcohol is given away, sold, or otherwise provided to those present unless the conditions stated in items #2 and #8 are satisfied. a. This includes any event held in, at or on the property of an establishment as defined above for purposes of fundraising. However, a Chapter may rent or use a room or area in such an establishment as defined above for a closed event held within the provisions of this policy, including the use of a third-party vendor and guest list. An event at which alcohol is present may be conducted or co-sponsored with a charitable organization if the event is held within the provisions of this policy.

6. No Chapter may co-sponsor or co-finance a function where alcohol is purchased by any of the host Chapters, groups, or organizations, unless the conditions stated in items #2 and #8 are satisfied.

7. All recruitment and candidate activities associated with any Chapter will be a DRY function.

MODULE 1 – RISK MANAGEMENT Page 17 of 85

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

8. No Brother, Candidate, or Recruit may consume alcohol or any other mind-altering substance for non-medical purposes, including any controlled substances or marijuana, before or during any event with involving Recruits or Candidates present. This includes multi-day events where Recruits or Candidates are invited to attend (e.g. weekend retreats, etc.).

9. OPEN PARTIES where alcohol is present, meaning those with unrestricted access (e.g., kegs, party balls, punch bowls, open bars, etc. even if brought or paid for by individuals) by individuals who are not Brothers of the Fraternity, without specific invitation, shall be prohibited.

10. No Brother shall permit, tolerate, encourage or participate in drinking “games” or any other activity involving the consumption of alcohol, which involves duress or encouragement at official fraternity functions.

DISCRIMINATION Phi Delta Chi, being a professional co-educational, fraternal organization holds high ideals and expectations for each Brother. Phi Delta Chi will conform to the spirit as well as the letter of all applicable laws and regulations enacted and upheld by the United States of America. Phi Delta Chi is committed to providing an environment that is free from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or age in any phase of its recruitment, admission process, educational programs or activities. Phi Delta Chi’s policy on this matter is as follows:

• Strictly follow procedures that will ensure equal opportunity for all people without regard to race, color, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, disability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, medical condition, or age; • Achieve understanding and acceptance of Phi Delta Chi's Risk Management Policy by all Brothers, Colleges, Universities, and within the profession of pharmacy; • Thoroughly investigate instances of alleged discrimination and take corrective action if warranted; • Be continually alert to identify and correct any practices by Brothers that are at variance with the intent of the Risk Management Policy.

Phi Delta Chi believes that commitment to principles of fairness and respect fosters and promotes a climate that is favorable to the free and open exchange of ideas as well as to the overall advancement of pharmacy and its allied interests. Phi Delta Chi seeks to reach out as widely as possible to attract the ablest individuals as students, pharmacists, and life-long Brothers. For these reasons, decisions at any level within the Fraternity in regards to all matters will be made based on an individual’s qualifications to contribute to the mission, vision, and values approved by the Grand Council of Phi Delta Chi.

SEXUAL ABUSE The Fraternity will not tolerate or condone any form of sexist or sexually abusive behavior on the part of its Brothers, Candidates, or Recruits, whether physical, mental or emotional. This is to include any actions, activities or events, whether on chapter premises or an off-site location which are demeaning to any individual, including but not limited to verbal harassment, sexual misconduct, or sexual assault. The employment or use of strippers, exotic dancers or similar, whether professional or amateur, at a fraternity event as defined in this policy is prohibited.

MODULE 1 – RISK MANAGEMENT Page 18 of 85

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

HAZING No Chapter shall conduct hazing activities. Hazing activities are defined as: “Any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off fraternity premises, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities may include but are not limited to the following: use of alcohol; paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical or psychological shocks; quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips or any other such activities carried on outside or inside of the confines of the Chapter house; wearing of public apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; and any other activities which are not consistent with fraternal law, ritual or policy or the regulations and policies of the educational institution.”

MEMBER RELATIONS Due to the sensitive nature of the relationship between potential members (defined as Recruits or Candidates) and Brothers, the following considerations must be kept: 1. The relationship between Brothers and potential members, although personal in nature by definition, must maintain a level of professionalism and respect by upholding the principles of human dignity at all times. 2. Candidates are expected to maintain the highest level of regard for the values of our Fraternity at all times in order to be considered for membership. Reckless or illegal behavior and conduct unbecoming of a Brother by potential members is never condoned or allowed. 3. Brothers must refrain from any language, gesture or activity that a reasonable person may perceive as encouraging or coercing, whether intentional or not, any prospective member into drinking alcohol or using any other mind-altering substance for non-medical purposes, whether formally or informally connected to Fraternity events or activities.

REPORTING OF ALL INITIATION DATES All collegiate Chapters will be required to report all upcoming initiation dates to the Grand Vice President for Collegiate Affairs (GVPCA) at least 30 days in advance. For those collegiate Chapters with a limited number of candidates unable to attend the reported initiation whereby the Chapter elects to hold a make- up initiation will be reported at the time of initial reporting. For those collegiate Chapters on probation with sanctions requiring the attendance of a Grand Officer, the attendance of a Grand Officer will be subject to the discretion of the Executive Council. Stand-alone initiations of graduate Brothers are not subject to this policy. Failure to report initiation or make-up initiation dates will be treated as a violation of this policy.

ONLINE POSTING AND PORTRAYAL OF PHI DELTA CHI The leadership of the Fraternity cannot actively monitor online content of networking sites and is not responsible for any messages posted. These messages express the views of the author of the message, not necessarily the views of this Fraternity or any entity associated with this Fraternity.

MODULE 1 – RISK MANAGEMENT Page 21 of 85

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Risk Management Investigation and Enforcement During your time with this Chapter, you may take on further responsibility as a Chapter Officer. If so, you will find it useful to review the Risk Management Investigation and Enforcement Policy, which is found at the Fraternity’s website.

The following passages from the Policy are important for you to understand now.

Excerpts from Phi Delta Chi Fraternity Risk Management Investigation and Enforcement Policy

Background All Phi Delta Chi chapters are required to review the Phi Delta Chi Risk Management Policy and Hazing Statement as part of the October report of the Achievement Award Program. Also, all candidates are required to review the Risk Management Policy and Hazing Statement at the first candidate meeting. As a result, ALL Phi Delta Chi Brothers should be aware of the expectations for adherence to the policy.

ACTIVITY: Why is this requirement in place?

See Something, Say Something Any Brother or Candidate who sees hazing in any format is required to report that incident to the Phi Delta Chi Executive Director. “See Something, Say Something” reporting forms are on the Phi Delta Chi website under the “About Us”, “National Office” and the “Candidate” pages. Failure to report an incident is subject to additional action by the Phi Delta Chi Executive Council.

Actions may range from: • None; no further action required • Corrective measures outlined • Corrective actions outlined and chapter probation period defined • Corrective actions outlined and chapter suspension period outlined • Revocation of chapter charter

Adopted November 18, 2015; last amended August 28, 2018

DISCUSSION – Why is our risk-management policy important? Who does it protect? How can you report possible risk management violations? What might happen to your Chapter if the Risk Management Policy is not followed?

Notes:

Expectations of Personal & Brotherly Behavior We are our Brother’s keeper. Individual Brothers sometimes forget that actions speak louder than words and poor judgment can reflect badly on the Chapter or Fraternity, even though the Brother was acting as an individual and outside the Fraternity’s purview. Brotherhood is selective for neither time nor convenience. A Brother is a Brother 24 hours a day. PHI DELTA CHI is, above all, a professional Fraternity. It should be noted that “professional” comes before the word “Fraternity.” Your Facilitator will go through the expectations of every Brother of PHI DELTA CHI in regards to personal and Brotherly behavior. Read these expectations carefully. Understand them fully. Ask questions. If you feel you are unable to commit to these expectations, please notify your Facilitator or Big Brother right away.

ACTIVITY: Please read through the Expectations for Personal and Brotherly Behavior on the next page. Discuss each of the expectations with your Candidate Class. What do they mean? Why is each one included?

ACTIVITY: 1. Review the hypothetical situations below and determine if they violate our Risk Management Policy, and, if so, how they violate the policy. For cases that are not in concordance with the Risk Management Policy, provide suggestions on how to change the scenario to better achieve compliance.

A. A number of Brothers decide to get together on Friday night at the Chapter house to study. At 10:00 PM, they decide to take a break and have alcoholic beverages. Other Brothers join them at the house and it turns into an impromptu party, with loud music and drinking games. A neighbor complains about the noise, and the police show up, and learn that some people who are drinking are under 21.

B. A Chapter asks their Candidates to stand in a line in front of all the Chapter’s Brothers and verbally give a reason why they wish to become a Brother. No answers seem to be acceptable to the Brothers. Brothers laugh and joke about the Candidates’ responses.

C. A Chapter requires Candidates to obtain the signatures of all Brothers in the Chapter at least one week before initiation. Some of the Brothers require Candidates to answer obscure questions about Chapter and Fraternity history prior to providing their signature.

D. The Chapter requires Candidates to wear professional dress on a certain day of the week, though no such requirement exists through the School of Pharmacy or for Brothers.

E. The Chapter asks the Candidates to go around campus and take pictures of historic landmarks on campus and collect items from Brothers along the route to be brought back to the School of Pharmacy.

F. During Initiation, a Brother jokingly comments to a Candidate, “Don’t worry, we won’t kill you.”

MODULE 1 – RISK MANAGEMENT Page 26 of 85

G. A Brother wearing PHI DELTA CHI letters on his shirt makes inappropriate hand gestures while being photographed. These photographs are then posted on social media.

H. A Candidate wishes to seek admission into PHI DELTA CHI. One of the collegiate Brothers does not like this individual on a personal level because they are of a different race and persuades the Chapter to not vote in favor of this Candidate becoming a Brother.

I. A Brother asks a Candidate during an interview who the most attractive faculty member is.

2. Print off and sign the Expectations for Personal and Brotherly Behavior. Turn it in to your Facilitator at the beginning of your next Candidate education session.

ACTION

Philanthropy – St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital As part of our efforts as a professional pharmacy fraternity, PHI DELTA CHI is committed to raising funds and awareness for worthy causes. Since 1995, Chapters and Brothers of PHI DELTA CHI have joined together to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through various means. In August 2007, the Fraternity expanded support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital using a targeted letter-writing campaign called The Prescription for Hope. Through this campaign, the Fraternity pledged to raise $200,000 over 4 years. In April 2009, PHI DELTA CHI surpassed this goal within just 2 years! Upon completion of this commitment, the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s outpatient pharmacy located on the first floor of the Patient Care Center was named in recognition of PHI DELTA CHI. A plaque adjacent to the pharmacy pick-up window reads, “IN GRATITUDE TO PHI DELTA CHI PHARMACY FRATERNITY FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND SUPPORT OF ST. JUDE AND ITS PHARMACY PROGRAM.”

The Executive Council and Regional Officers acted upon the Grand Council’s desire to continue to support St. Jude by identifying a new goal and naming opportunity. In 2010, the Executive Council pledged to raise $1 million by 2020 towards the naming of an adjoining patient/parent room in the Patient Care Center. Patients need the support and love of their families during hospitalizations, yet they also need their own privacy from time to time. Adjoining parent rooms allow the parents to be there for

MODULE 2 – FRATERNITY BASICS Page 32 of 85

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠ their child when needed, while still giving both parents and patients the privacy they need. By 2016, PHI DELTA CHI reached its $1 million commitment – four years early.

We continue to fundraise for the kids of St. Jude through the Prescription for Hope program, the St. Jude Walk/Run to End Childhood Cancer, and so many other methods. We are actually a Bronze level National team for the St. Jude Walk/Run for two years in a row. PHI DELTA CHI has furthered its commitment to support St. Jude by raising $1 million in seven years by 2023 to support the hospital’s lifesaving work. We are truly committed to St. Jude's mission that "no child should die in the dawn of life." To honor PHI DELTA CHI’s generosity, St. Jude will recognize the organization through the naming of a Radiation Oncology Recovery Suite. Our Founders It is important to our future that we remember our past. PHI DELTA CHI’s Founders have long since passed away, but the short notes below begin to paint their portraits.

Spirit Songs An important ingredient to forging the strong bonds of Brotherhood is social interaction. PHI DELTA CHI has a number of songs that promote spirit and excitement for PHI DELTA CHI during social outings. These songs may be sung in public and can be used to connect Brothers from distant Chapters in unified exuberance about Brotherhood.

Other Greek Letter Organizations of Pharmacy Knowledge and basic understanding of the other Greek letter organizations of pharmacy is essential for harmonious coexistence and cooperation on campus. Brothers of PHI DELTA CHI are encouraged to qualify for and join honorary societies, such as Rho Chi or Phi Lambda Sigma. Brothers of PHI DELTA CHI may not join other pharmacy fraternities, except on an honorary basis.

Rho Chi (PX) The Rho Chi Society is the national scholastic honor society of pharmacy. Like all honor societies, Rho Chi has as its fundamental objective the stimulation and recognition of academic excellence. The Society serves as an instrument for advancing the profession of pharmacy. As the academic honor society in pharmacy, the Rho Chi Society: • Encourages and recognizes intellectual achievement • Stimulates critical inquiry to advance pharmacy • Contributes to the development of intellectual leaders • Promotes highest ethical standards • Fosters collaboration

Criteria for membership include academic excellence, capacity for achievement in the science and art of pharmacy, and strength of character, personality, and leadership. The Society also provides for graduate student, faculty, alumni, and honorary membership.

Members of PHI DELTA CHI's Alpha Chapter were instrumental in founding Rho Chi on May 19, 1922, at the University of Michigan, where the members first called themselves the Aristolochite Society. Phi Dex Brothers served as the Honor Society's first president, H. W. Vahltreich; vice president, G. C. Tasker; and secretary, E. J. Traut. Rho Chi’s colors are purple and white. It has more than 90 collegiate chapters.

Phi Lambda Sigma (ΦΛΣ, PLS) Phi Lambda Sigma, the Pharmacy Leadership Society, recognizes individuals in pharmacy who attain a high standard of leadership by contributing time and effort toward the advancement of pharmacy. The goals of PLS include • Ensuring the continuing availability of student and practitioner leaders for the profession of pharmacy • Acknowledging leadership achievement and award membership to leaders recommended by the Society • Enhancing the talent, skill, and effectiveness of leaders for the profession of pharmacy • Supporting and encouraging sustained leadership commitment

PLS started at Auburn University in March 1965. Brother Charles C. Thomas and nine other Brothers of PHI DELTA CHI’s Chi Chapter are among Phi Lambda Sigma’s first 17 members. Phi Lambda Sigma’s publication is The Laurel. The colors are green and gold. It has more than 90 collegiate chapters.

Alpha Zeta Omega (AZΩ) Alpha Zeta Omega was founded at Philadelphia College of Pharmacy on December 19, 1919, by 11 men. The fraternity was founded upon the principles of intimate association with one another and practice of the virtues of mutual trust, sympathy, faithfulness, and unselfishness. It was first known as the "Dead Men's Club" and now exists in the United States, Canada, and Israel.

MODULE 2 – FRATERNITY BASICS Page 37 of 85

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

The objectives of AZΩ are to promote the profession of Pharmacy; to develop high standards of Scholarship; to inculcate a spirit of Fellowship amongst all of its members; to bring together a body of professional men and women who, by the diligent maintenance of ethical ideals and faithful service, have proven a credit to their chosen profession; to honor achievement in others; to commend all worthy deeds; to build within our Fraternity a triangle composed of three supporting sides which are peace, friendship, and brotherly love.

Beta Phi Sigma (BΦΣ) Beta Phi Sigma was founded at the University of Buffalo School of Pharmacy in 1889, making it America’s second pharmacy fraternity. Over time, it grew to encompass 11 chapters. Operations were severely disrupted as men joined the Armed Services during World War II and pharmacy enrollments shrank. After the war, only the UB chapter resumed operations. The fraternity dissolved in 1973. The letters BΦΣ reflect Buffalo Pharmacy School.

Kappa Epsilon (KE) Kappa Epsilon was founded on May 13, 1921, at the University of Iowa by Zada M. Cooper. Kappa Epsilon had 17 women present at its founding meeting representing the Universities of Minnesota, Nebraska, and Iowa. Alpha Chapter is at the University of Minnesota.

The objectives are to promote women in pharmacy, stimulate a desire for high scholarship, foster a professional consciousness, and provide a bond of lasting loyalty, interest, and friendship.

Kappa Psi (KΨ) Kappa Psi Fraternity was founded on May 30, 1879, at Russell Military Academy in New Haven, Connecticut. Initially it was a literary Greek-letter society; as its high school students moved on to college, it evolved into a medical-pharmaceutical fraternity and continued as such until 1924. Kappa Psi’s first pharmacy chapter was not formed until 1898 at Columbia University. In 1924, by mutual agreement, the members of both professions decided to separate into two distinct groups. The medical group became Theta Kappa Psi and the pharmaceutical group retained the name Kappa Psi.

The objectives of KΨ include: • To conduct a professional fraternal organization for the mutual benefit of its members; • To develop industry, sobriety, and fellowship; • To foster high ideals, scholarship, and pharmaceutical research; • To support all projects which will advance the profession of pharmacy and to actively participate in them; • To inspire in its members a deep and lasting pride in their Fraternity and in the profession of pharmacy; • To render such other services to its members and its profession feasible and in accordance with the constitution and bylaws of the Fraternity.

Lambda Kappa Sigma (ΛΚΣ, LKS) Lambda Kappa Sigma was founded on October 14, 1913, by Ethel J. Heath at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. The fraternity began as a social luncheon club under the name of the Lambda Kappa Society with eight members. In 1956, Lambda Kappa Sigma became international with the chartering of Alpha Lambda Chapter at Vancouver, BC, Canada.

MODULE 2 – FRATERNITY BASICS Page 38 of 85

PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

The purpose of ΛΚΣ is to promote the profession of pharmacy among women and to aid its members in all ways. The object of the fraternity is to further the happiness and usefulness of its members and to create a center of enjoyment, friendship, and culture.

Rho Pi Phi (ΡΠΦ) Rho Pi Phi was founded in November 1919 at Boston College of Pharmacy (under the name "Ram Bam Society") by 13 men. Their name derives from Rambam (i.e., Maimonides), Pi for pharmacy, and Phi for fraternity. The objectives of ΡΠΦ are to provide a social and professional meeting ground for pharmaceutical students and graduate pharmacists of any ethnic or racial background and without regard to race, creed, color, or sex. Its goal is to provide for a stronger professional image for pharmacy through the provision of continuing education programs.

Summary of Parliamentary Procedure Parliamentary law is used to conduct the business of an organization, balancing the rights of each member along with the rights of the assembly. Use these procedures to promote equality, and not as a weapon against those unfamiliar with them. A good officer presides over the Chapter with impartiality. To be useful, each meeting needs an "agenda" or "order of business" (see Chapter III of our Bylaws – more information on these in Module 3 – Fraternity Structure). To set policy and take actions, members introduce, discuss, adopt, or reject motions. A motion is an expression of what you want to accomplish. It is made simply by being recognized by the chair and saying, "I move..."

Fraternity Structure 3

Understanding an organization’s structure helps its members to function as a cohesive unit. Understanding the structure is important for all members to facilitate efficient and appropriate communication. There are many components of effective structure for an association, and the structure of PHI DELTA CHI is described in this module.

PHI DELTA CHI’s Constitution and Bylaws The Constitution and Bylaws of PHI DELTA CHI define our purpose, describe the framework of our association, and set forth procedures for required business of the Fraternity. This document is amended periodically by the Grand Council. Grand Council will be discussed more in-depth later in this Module. Take the time to review the Constitution and Bylaws to better understand our association’s framework.

Our Constitution & Bylaws may be found on the PHI DELTA CHI website (www.phideltachi.org). Adoption of Chapter Constitution & Bylaws It is important that each Chapter have its own Constitution and Bylaws, to guide Chapter operations according to specific campus circumstances. A Chapter’s documents may differ from or be more specific than the national Constitution and Bylaws, similar to state and federal pharmacy regulations. As you may know, national pharmacy laws set a framework for the regulation of medications. State laws regulate the practice of pharmacy and provide further specification, limitation, or clarification of national laws, but may not be in direct conflict with federal statute. So it is with our Chapter and National Constitution and Bylaws. The Chapter’s Constitution and Bylaws should be reviewed periodically and amended as deemed appropriate by the Chapter.

The Regions of PHI DELTA CHI PHI DELTA CHI Chapter are divided into eight regions to facilitate communication and smooth functioning of the association. Regional Officers assist Grand Vice Presidents in ensuring Chapters have appropriate resources and motivation to continue to succeed in their Chapter operations. These eight regions balance the number of Chapters in each region and assure a manageable load for all Regional Officers. Some regions are quite large geographically (in terms of square miles) due to the longer distances in western states.

Regional Officers help facilitate interaction of Chapters and encourage collaboration between Chapters in their region. The map below shows all of the Chapters of PHI DELTA CHI and color-codes them by Region. ACTIVITY: Work in groups of two or three Candidates and go to www.phideltachi.org and fill in the region names on the map provided. Enter your Chapter’s region in the provided space. Find the active and inactive Chapters in your region and fill in the tables provided. Ask your Facilitator which Chapter is your Buddy Chapter.

National History & Traditions 4

A Brief History With the support of Albert B. Prescott, Dean of the College of Pharmacy, 11 men at the University of Michigan founded Phi Chi on November 2, 1883. This new professional society was for students of pharmacy and of chemistry, two intertwined disciplines in that era. In the preamble to our original constitution and bylaws, our Founders wrote “Recognizing the necessity of, and the mutual benefits to be derived from [an association] devoted to the sciences of pharmacy and chemistry, a careful investigation into, and a free discussion of subjects relative to the same. . . "

The name Phi Chi was selected to emphasize its dedication to the fields of pharmacy and chemistry. Shortly after our founding, there was a motion to change the name to PHI DELTA CHI, however this motion failed. In 1889 and 1894, two medical fraternities were founded with the name Phi Chi. At the beginning of the 20th century, these fraternities consolidated into one and retained the name Phi Chi. There was debate over who had claim to the name of Phi Chi and thus, the name PHI DELTA CHI was reconsidered. To avoid continued dispute with the medical fraternity, the name change to PHI DELTA CHI was again proposed at the 10th Grand Council (Chicago, 1909). This proposal was passed at the 11th Grand Council (New York, 1910).

PHI DELTA CHI has survived more than the dispute over naming rights. During the Great Depression, the Brotherhood found it increasingly challenging to serve both professions of pharmacy and chemistry. Seeking to ensure the survival of the fraternity, membership requirements were altered to accept only those majoring in pharmacy, establishing our current professional pharmacy fraternity.

From 1967 to 1988, the fraternity saw only two new Chapters chartered as the fraternity devoted resources to fighting and later implementing the Title IX requirement to admit women. After efforts to persuade Congress to exempt professional fraternities from Title IX requirements failed, PHI DELTA CHI amended its constitution in summer 1976. In November 1976, Iota (The University of Maryland) became the first chapter to initiate women.

Since 1988, PHI DELTA CHI has seen rapid expansion through the founding of new Chapters. This expansion was driven in part by the rapid openings of new pharmacy schools through the 1990s and 2000s. Delta Delta (The University of Florida) has the distinct honor of being the 100th chapter chartered by PHI DELTA CHI.

MODULE 4 – NATIONAL HISTORY & TRADITIONS Page 53 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Since our founding, PHI DELTA CHI has initiated over 60,000 men and women into our prestigious Brotherhood.

Fraternity Website As you have already learned, the fraternity website is an invaluable resource. Through this gateway, you can access multiple resources, including the top reports for the Thurston Grand President’s Cup, locations of past and future Grand Councils, information on Grand Officers, and more. The site hosts our web museum, with over 1,600 images of fraternity objects, leaders, and papers. Our website can be found at www.phideltachi.org. Visit the website and see what is going on. There are some parts of the website that you will not be able to access until you are a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI.

Social Media The expansion of social media has allowed us to keep in touch more easily with Brothers we meet at national or regional meetings. Through social media, we share our stories and our lives. Similarly, we communicate the stories of our Chapter to our Brothers through our national print publication (The Communicator), our electronic newsletter (The e-Communicator), and through our Chapter’s own publications. As we work to expand our Brotherhood, we can harness the power of social media to tell our stories of how we are advancing the profession of pharmacy to those outside of our Brotherhood.

ACTIVITY: Go to www.phideltachi.org and look at a couple of recent e-Communicator newsletters.

Grand Council (GC) Following the chartering of our fourth collegiate Chapter, the Brotherhood held its first Grand Council in Chicago in 1900. In simple terms, one might consider Grand Council to be another professional meeting like the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) Annual Meeting or American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) Midyear Clinical Meeting. However, Grand Council is more than a professional meeting. Each Grand Council offers a unique experience that provides life long memories with Brothers. In addition, Grand Council also serves as an opportunity for reunion with Brothers, as well as a place to conduct our association’s business. Grand Council is not only the governing body of our Fraternity, but it is also an exercise in Brotherhood. Every other year (odd years), collegiate and alumni Brothers, along with Candidates, gather together to share in our common bond through our Ritual and discuss matters affecting our Fraternity. As the governing body, the Grand Council is comprised of the Executive Council,

MODULE 4 – NATIONAL HISTORY & TRADITIONS Page 54 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠ plus one Delegate from each collegiate Chapter, one alumni Delegate from each Chapter not having a duly organized alumni Chapter, and one Delegate from each duly organized alumni Chapter.

At Grand Council, Chapters will have Regional Caucuses with fellow to elect their new Regional Correspondent. In addition, at GC we have the honor of electing the new Grand Officers for the following term. These include the Grand President (GP), Grand Vice President for Collegiate Affairs (GVPCA), Grand Vice President for Alumni Affairs (GVPAA), Grand Vice President for Communication (GVPC) and Grand Vice President for Student Affairs (GVPSA). The newly elected Grand Officers then review applications for Regional Officers (other than the Regional Correspondent) and the Executive Council appoints a Brother to serve in each role. Each Grand Vice President oversees a corresponding set of Regional Officers.

In addition to elections, Grand Council provides an opportunity to discuss matters related to the Constitution and Bylaws of the Fraternity and operational issues that may arise. Grand Council provides a forum for Brothers to discuss common difficulties and opportunities that may warrant changing Fraternity structure and operations. There are also various education opportunities for collegiate and alumni Brothers. Attendance at these meetings is essential to ensure the voice of collegiate and alumni Chapters is heard on important Fraternity business. The Fraternity also recognizes the outstanding achievements of Chapters during a formal banquet. The recognition focuses on the Achievement Award Program (see Module 6 – Achievement Award Program).

As with any decision that has personal, professional, and financial ramifications, it is important to consider the benefits and hardships associated with attending a national PHI DELTA CHI meeting. See the table below for some thoughts regarding attendance at Grand Council.

Pros Cons Neutral • Meet new Brothers • Probably going to lose a little • Frequently requires travel • Reunite with Brothers sleep outside your area • Network with alumni Brothers • Time conflict (school, work, etc.) (awesome road trip • Programming to develop you • Cost (registration, travel, hotel, opportunity) professionally etc.) • Influence direction of the fraternity • Explore the awesome host city • Find your passion for Brotherhood • Exchange ideas to improve your chapter

ACTIVITY: Find out when and where the next Grand Council will be held. City: ______Dates: ______.

Leader-Development Seminars (LDS) Developed by a team, led by past Grand President John Grabenstein (Beta Gamma), LDS was first presented to Brothers at the 57th Grand Council (Monterey, 1989). In collaboration with the Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute (PLEI), LDS is held every other year (even years, opposite of Grand Council). During the 16th LDS (St. Louis, 2016), the first advisor track programming debuted. With this development, Brothers can now collaborate alongside advisors from other Chapters to gain insights into problem solving.

Similar to Grand Council, LDS offers an opportunity for Brothers all over the country to come together and develop themselves professionally. During LDS, Brothers learn about the values and qualities of effective leaders. Additionally, they are given the tools to address problems facing their Chapters and to create sustainable solutions to these problems.

While it is not necessary for Brothers in leadership positions to attend LDS, it is highly encouraged. Similarly, a Brother does not have to be an officer in their Chapter to attend. The goal of LDS is to continue the PHI DELTA CHI tradition of being leaders in pharmacy by offering the tools and training necessary for successful leadership.

ACTIVITY: Find out when and where the next LDS will be held. City: ______Dates: ______.

MODULE 4 – NATIONAL HISTORY & TRADITIONS Page 56 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Regional Meetings Similar to Grand Council, the eight regions of PHI DELTA CHI (see Module 3 - Fraternity Structure for Regional maps) hold meetings to address regional affairs as well as global Fraternity affairs and how proposed changes may affect the Region. These meetings are held in even years prior to LDS. At these meetings, the Regional Correspondent is elected, Brothers have the opportunity to network, and bonds between Chapters are built. Brothers are assigned to a committee and workshops (according to preference) to discuss fraternal affairs requiring attention prior to Grand Council and ways to improve the fraternity and your Chapter. Committees and workshops at Regional Meetings also provide the opportunity for Brothers to become better leaders within their own Chapters and collaborate with other Chapters in their Region.

Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute (PLEI) The 60th Grand Council (Memphis, 1995) charged the Executive Council with creating a non-profit organization dedicated to the mission of fostering leadership and education in our Brotherhood. The Grand Officers selected a slate of distinguished Brothers to create and lead the Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute (PLEI) in its first years. PLEI held its inaugural board meeting at the 143rd Annual Meeting of APhA (Nashville, 1996). PLEI serves charitable and educational purposes. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recognizes PLEI as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization; EIN 582296988. PLEI coordinates the Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award and Lecture (presented at the APhA Annual Meeting), the Leader-Development Seminars and other educational events for the Fraternity’s Brothers and other members of the pharmacy profession. PLEI also conducts other intensive leadership training programs for state pharmacy associations and colleges of pharmacy. The Institute is led by a Board of

MODULE 4 – NATIONAL HISTORY & TRADITIONS Page 57 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Directors of distinguished Brothers and colleagues. The Fraternity’s Grand President, Grand Past President, and Executive Director serve ex officio on the PLEI Board of Directors.

PLEI Mission: PLEI develops leaders among student pharmacists and pharmacists by conducting programs to improve leadership skills, to strengthen the profession as a whole, and thereby advance the public health. PLEI takes a special interest in supporting and advancing the PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity’s mission of developing pharmacy’s future leaders.

Vision: As a nationally active enterprise, PLEI strives to reach as many student pharmacists and young pharmacists as possible, in a variety of venues, to help them grow in their personal leadership skills, giving them examples of how to apply these skills in pharmacy settings (e.g., ambulatory, inpatient, long-term Brother Gary Keil, who has been very involved with PLEI for care, corporate, academia, many years, makes a toast at LDS. government) and in their personal lives.

Major PLEI Projects: • Albert B. Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award: Since 1987, recognizing an emerging leader no more than 10 years into his or her career. A complete roster of honorees and application information can be found at www.plei.org. • PLEI conducts leader-development programs ranging from 1-hour sessions to 5-day immersion programs. Since 1989, thousands of student pharmacists trained to lead their profession. • Leader-Development Seminars (LDS, since 1989), California Pharmacists Association Leader Development Institute (LDI, since 2012), and other face-to-face intensive leadership programs. • Lead ← Grow → Shape Workbook: A Prescription for Life‐Long Pharmacy Leader Development. Alvarez NA, Keil GJ II, Negrete MJ, Grabenstein JD. First published in 2016, this workbook includes 35 modules matching each of the ACPE competencies for self-awareness, leadership, innovation, and professionalism. PLEI fosters opportunities for self-development, to help individuals enhance their capability to serve others.

Ritual In 1884, the Founding Fathers adopted a modest initiation process and simple regalia. In 1887, the Phi Chi Society was reorganized into a secret Greek Letter Fraternity and a change in the ritual and regalia was made. “Signs,” “Grips,” and “Words” were also adopted. The oldest surviving copy of the Ritual dates to 1921, during the tenure of Grand President Emory W. Thurston. The Ritual is remarkably unchanged in its principal lessons. The lessons are allegorical and still pertinent after all these decades, insofar as they touch on core aspects of humanity. Further discussion of the history of our Ritual appears in the Ritual Book itself (privileged content) and in Phi Delta Chi: A Tradition of Leaders in Pharmacy, Second Edition (public content).

The 1921 Ritual notes that “Many chapters enforce a rule that each member must prepare a paper upon some subject of scientific or general interest once in each Semester and these papers are read during meeting, just before second roll call. Each member is notified by the WCC when he is to prepare a paper and is given two weeks’ time for preparation.”

Our Brotherhood has a rich history. Besides National and Regional meetings that reunite Brothers to exchange ideas and traditions, we have one thing that binds us all, our Ritual. This sacred experience is closely guarded by our Brothers. It is essential that we maintain strict adherence to our Ritual as it is written, so that every Brother may have the same experience and can feel united with his or her Brothers. You will learn more about the Ritual and its meaning upon your initiation to our Brotherhood. Take the time to learn and understand the Ritual, so that you can feel the connection to all your Brothers: past, present, and future.

ACTIVITY: Have your Facilitator or another Brother log into the phideltachi.org website. Go to the Museum link at the upper right corner of the homepage.

Chapter Standards 5 Introduction to the Standards The Chapter Standards for PHI DELTA CHI provide each Chapter with a common basis of activity, for both the quality and quantity of the Chapter’s performance. By highlighting the diversity of activities that a Chapter focuses on throughout the year, the Standards allow the Chapters to apply their own personality to its goal setting agenda. Chapter Officers and Brothers should constantly critique their performance against the Standards, for this is the best way a Chapter can learn and grow.

As part of the Fraternity’s Achievement Award Program, each Chapter conducts a self-reflection based on the Chapter Standards each year to help identify strengths and weaknesses, as well as brainstorm ideas to help the Chapter improve within each area of the Standards. This, in turn, can help the Chapter identify SMART goals for the upcoming year and develop a plan for achieving those goals. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable/achievable, Realistic, and Time-based or Trackable.

An annual Chapter retreat provides an important opportunity for the Chapter to reflect on the previous year, review the Chapter standards, and create goals for the upcoming year. The Chapter Standards are also the basis for completing a comprehensive or focused visit within PHI DELTA CHI’s Chapter Excellence and Quality (ChEQ) program. More information about ChEQ visits can be found later in this module. The Standards Standard A: Brotherhood and Ritual The Chapter should organize Brotherhood programs and events that promote camaraderie amongst the entire Chapter. The Chapter should work to make opportunities available for attendance at regional and national events to promote Brotherhood within the entire Fraternity. Brothers from the Chapter should understand that Phi Delta Chi is a life-long experience with various opportunities for engagement at the different stages of the Brotherhood continuum from a Brother’s candidacy, to the transition to alumni status, and beyond.

The Chapter should conduct initiation and monthly Formal Meetings in accordance with the Ritual of Phi Delta Chi. All Brothers should be knowledgeable about the Ritual, and the Chapter Officers should be completely conversant about the parts of the Ritual. The Chapter should preserve local history with the establishment of an archive or other means to help catalog and account for historical documents. The archives should be stored in such a way as to minimize damage and theft.

ACTIVITY: Pair and share – discuss the importance of tradition and culture as well as the importance of adapting and changing to fit modern society. Think of news articles, cultures, etc.

MODULE 5 – CHAPTER STANDARDS Page 61 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Standard B: Chapter Image The Chapter should project an image consistent with the unity and professional nature of Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity. This image should be projected to the Chapter's school and community through professional projects and conduct, service projects, philanthropic outreach, scholastic achievement, and leadership development. Chapter operations, achievements and activities should be shared and enhanced through a dialogue with chapter alumni, other Chapters, and the National Office through chapter publications, the Achievement Award Program (AAP), and attendance at regional and national meetings. The Chapter’s image should be considered in all forms of communication, including social media, to best reflect the ideals of Phi Delta Chi.

ACTIVITY: Pair and share – take examples from recent news where external image can make or break a company or the reputation of an individual.

Standard C: Chapter Efficiency and Organization Completion of 100% of the items in the AAP (which includes attendance at regional and national meetings) is considered a minimum standard. The Chapter shall have clearly defined strategic goals in consonance with national goals in social, scholastic, professional, and fraternal areas and an organizational structure (of officers and committees) and processes capable of attaining those goals. The Chapter should have, at minimum, five standing committees including: Executive, Finance and Budget Committee, AAP, Membership, and Social, and any other committees as deemed necessary by the Chapter.

ACTIVITY: Pair and share – discuss the importance of teamwork in accomplishing goals (i.e. sports, companies, individuals grouping together). Provide examples of this with one another as well. What is the importance of active membership within your Chapter? What are some ways to promote active membership?

Standard D: Faculty and Alumni Relations The Chapter should maintain consistent lines of communication with all members of the school’s faculty and administration, especially with those members who are Phi Delta Chi Brothers. From the Phi Delta Chi faculty, one or more Chapter Advisors should be selected to provide regular advice on chapter policies and activities. The Chapter should invite appropriate non-Phi Delta Chi faculty to become a Graduate or Honorary Brothers of Phi Delta Chi.

The Chapter, through the Alumni Liaison, should maintain consistent lines of communication with its Alumni and Alumni Chapter(s) (when they exist). Chapter Alumni should be notified of chapter activities through mailings of newsletters and chapter publications, as well as periodic communications via email and social media.

ACTIVITY: Pair and share – discuss the importance of timely communication with Alumni Brothers as well as the reputation it builds by keeping good connections with

MODULE 5 – CHAPTER STANDARDS Page 62 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠ them. How do you think Alumni Brother involvement could affect your Chapter and what ideas can you provide to encourage Alumni Brother involvement?

Standard E: Finance The Chapter should have sufficient monies to meet its goals and objectives and a system for assuring financial stability, solvency and accountability. Using Brother assessments (dues and initiation fees) and supplementary fundraising projects, the Chapter should be able to meet its operating expenses, including national assessments (initiation fees and National Operating Dues). The Finance and Budget Committee should be chaired by the Worthy Keeper of Finance with the Chapter Advisor as a permanent member. Chapters should have an established account with a financial institution or college to allow for easy transfer of monies with oversight from the Chapter Advisor(s).

ACTIVITY: Pair and share – discuss how crucial finances are to the survival of any entity: individual, company, or association. Give examples of how this has made or broken a company or individual that you’ve read about or known.

Standard F: Leadership The Chapter should organize programs and events that promote leadership and improve leadership skills amongst Brothers, including promotion of attendance at Leader Development Seminars. There should be periodic recognition of exemplary leadership achievements of the Chapter’s Brothers within the Fraternity and in other organizations.

Standard G: Membership The Chapter shall have sufficient Brothers with appropriate leadership skills to carry out activities expected of all Phi Delta Chi Chapters. Implicit in this standard is the need for sound membership recruitment and education activities. Candidates must complete an appropriate candidate education period prior to their induction into Phi Delta Chi.

Standard H: Professional Development and Service The Chapter should engage its Brothers in service to their Community, the Profession of Pharmacy, and their School. This includes projects organized by Phi Delta Chi in order to promote the professional development of its Brothers. Participation in national philanthropic programs and events as well as Chapter-organized events is expected.

Standard I: Risk Management The Chapter shall abide by the current Risk Management Policy as defined by Grand Council. Each Collegiate Brother and prospective Brother shall be instructed at least annually on the Risk Management policies.

Standard J: Scholarship The Chapter should enhance and recognize scholastic achievement by its Brothers from the time of candidacy through graduation. This may include academic support (tutoring, study groups), financial support, and scholastic recognition(s).

Chapter Excellence & Quality (ChEQ) Program To ensure that the Chapter Standards are being met on a consistent basis by all Chapters of the Fraternity and as a method to assure quality, the Grand Officers established the ChEQ program. Chapters are expected to operate within the Chapter Standards and strive to exceed the basic requirements by measuring their goals, activities and action plans. Onsite visits by the representatives of the Fraternity allow for an accurate assessment of the challenges faced by collegiate Chapters. There are two types of ChEQ visits: comprehensive and focused.

Comprehensive ChEQ Visits Chapters are selected in order of chartering by region to receive a Comprehensive ChEQ visit. Currently, Comprehensive visits are scheduled for one Chapter per year per Region in the spring semester, but efforts are being made to increase the number of Comprehensive visits each year, as the Fraternity continues to grow and expand. It is important that both the Chapter and the university’s administration understand that Comprehensive visits are not any kind of punishment or inquiry into aberrant behavior from the Chapter. The Comprehensive visits are intended as a “pulse check” to ensure the Chapter is fulfilling the basic elements of the Chapter Standards outlined above and to provide encouragement and feedback on areas that could be improved.

Comprehensive visits are conducted by local seasoned Brothers in the Region of the Chapter, who do not belong to the Chapter where the visit is occurring. This is a volunteer position and a great opportunity to give back to the Fraternity. As part of the visit, the ChEQ Team will meet with various school administration and faculty, which may include the Dean of Pharmacy and any faculty advisors. The purpose of these meetings is to ascertain the image that the Chapter projects to the campus and community and to understand local circumstances.

The visits also include meetings with current and past Chapter Officers, as well as newly initiated and seasoned Brothers of the Chapter. Through interviews and discussions with each of the aforementioned Brothers, the ChEQ Team evaluates the performance of the Chapter within every Chapter Standard and provides a report to the Chapter. The report details which Chapter Standards the Chapter is in compliance with, as well as standards that present performance-improvement opportunities. The ChEQ Team will also observe the Chapter performing various aspects of the Ritual, to ensure continued compliance with and performance of the Ritual, our common bond.

As a result of the Comprehensive visit, the Chapter is expected to provide an action plan to address any areas considered performance-improvement opportunities for the current Chapter Standards. A member of the Regional Team follows-up with the Chapter to facilitate any changes outlined by the Chapter in the action plan.

Focus ChEQ Visit Focus visits are provided at a frequency dependent on Chapter need and available human and financial resources, with at least one per region per year. Chapters are selected by the GVPCA based on a variety of factors, which may include • Feedback from Regional Officers and National Officers

MODULE 5 – CHAPTER STANDARDS Page 64 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

• Chapter performance in the Achievement Award Program • Indications that the Chapter is struggling to meet Chapter Standards • Any disciplinary issues noted for the Chapter

Focus visits are designed to assist a Chapter with a specific developmental need, thus bringing a Chapter struggling up to standard.

Focus Visits are conducted by the Regional Officers who do not belong to the Chapter where the visit is occurring. Regional Officers volunteer their time and efforts as a service to the Chapters, providing opportunities to grow and create relationships. Regional Officers work with the Chapter's WCC to find areas of "focus" for the upcoming visit, to create hands-on, workshop-style sessions. For example, facilitating a recruitment workshop is a typical occurrence at Focus visits if the Chapter is struggling with Standard G - Membership. For Focus visits, the Regional Officers facilitate the appropriate workshop(s), providing the Chapter with workshop materials after the visit, based on the ChEQ team's assessment during the visit. This allows the Chapter Officers to facilitate the workshop at a later time, as needed.

At the end of the visit, the Regional Officers create a visit report to be given to the Chapter Advisor(s), the Chapter, and any additional individuals deemed appropriate, such as faculty or administration. The Chapter uses this report to ensure they are working toward reaching goals created for the focus areas. The Regional Officers will follow-up with the Chapter and facilitate progress and accountability throughout the following year.

Achievement 6 Award Program

The Dale W. Doerr Achievement Award Program, better known as the AAP, is a noncompetitive program involving the submission of monthly Chapter reports. The AAP provides a framework for Chapter operations and thus serves as the foundation from which a Chapter may organize and plan their events every year. The Program promotes correspondence with the National Office, encourages communication between Chapters, and improves Chapters' relations with Alumni Brothers.

In 1956, the first Achievement Award Cup was presented. At first, only one Chapter was recognized. In following years, each Chapter achieving 100% in the AAP received an engraved Loving Cup. Efficiency Cups were given to Chapters participating at the 90 to 99% level, and smaller Efficiency Cups were given to Chapters scoring between 80 and 89%. All the Cups have since been replaced with plaques denoting the scores that each Chapter received. The AAP was named in 1993 to recognize Dale W. Doerr (Psi), past Grand President and Executive Director of PHI DELTA CHI, and Dean of Pharmacy at Butler University, who conceived and implemented the program.

The Worthy Correspondent (WC) is the agent primarily responsible for reporting the AAP items. The WC serves as the point of communication between the National Office, the Regional Officers, and each local Chapter. The WC works in conjunction with the Achievement Award Committee to ensure all items of each report are completed and submitted in a timely fashion.

Components of the AAP Each Chapter of PHI DELTA CHI is required to complete and submit information as part of the AAP. The table below shows the type of materials and activities involved, but may change from year to year. Exact details and deadlines are provided to the Chapter WC each summer. It is the entire Chapter’s responsibility to know what is required in the AAP for the coming year, to be able to assist the WC in accurately reporting the information. AAAE, Each Needs the Help of the Other!

Detailed item listings are available in the Achievement Award Program section of the PHI DELTA CHI Website: www.phideltachi.org

Each item of the AAP Program is intended to promote one or more of the nine Chapter Standards (see Module 5 – Chapter Standards for more details) set by the National Office of PHI DELTA CHI. Through completion of the required AAP items, Chapters continue to grow and improve across the Chapter Standards and thus improve the Chapter as a whole. While most items in the program are scored as complete simply based on submission, Chapters committed to improvement can use the organization and structure of the program to plan their yearly calendars, coordinate successful events, and succeed in overcoming the many challenges of Fraternity life. Chapters with effective committee structures that assist the AAP Committee and Worthy Correspondent to complete and excel in the program routinely see vast improvements ranging from member engagement and leader-development to success in holding events and recruiting new Brothers.

MODULE 6 – ACHIEVEMENT AWARD PRORAM Page 68 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Emory W. Thurston Grand President’s Award In addition to the required items every month, there are five longer written reports due at various times through the year, which are scored as part of the Emory W. Thurston Grand President’s Award, better known as the Thurston Cup. This award was established in 1974 through a generous gift from past Grand President Emory W. Thurston (Omicron). The Grand President's Award is given to the Chapter that best promoted the profession of pharmacy and PHI DELTA CHI fully during the preceding year. To qualify, a Chapter must receive a 90% or higher rating in the Achievement Award Program. Those Chapters qualifying are then evaluated independently by the Grand Officers, Regional Officers, and distinguished Brothers on five specific reports: Scholarship, Brotherhood, Professional & Service Projects, Leadership, and Chapter Publication, each worth 20%. Each report category is scored individually and may be awarded a plaque or monetary gift for their exemplary performance in a particular area. The top three Chapters for each award are Brothers from Alpha Gamma Chapter pose with Grand recognized at the annual banquet President Traci Thompson after receiving the 2015-2016 that occurs either at Grand Council Thurston Grand President’s Award. or Leader Development Seminar. The Chapter with the highest combined score receives the Thurston Cup.

ACTIVITY – Work with your Facilitator to figure out who won the most recent Thurston Grand President’s Award (a.k.a. Thurston Cup). This information, and more about the AAP, can be found on the PHI DELTA CHI website (www.phideltachi.org).

Ralph L. Saroyan Brotherhood Award The Brotherhood Award recognizes Chapters that exemplify Brotherhood based upon activities and programs, collectively and individually, that promote Brotherhood within the Chapter. The award is judged by past Grand Presidents, based on these criteria: 80% for programs and activities that promote Brotherhood during the year and 20% on an essay written by a seasoned Brother on the meaning of Brotherhood. The award arose from a contribution from Alumni Brother Paul J. Desmet (Alpha Eta), in memory of his father, Joseph B. Desmet, and his Brothers from Alpha Gamma Chapter pose with Brother grandmother, Irma B. Desmet. Ralph Saroyan and Grand President Traci Thompson after receiving the first place Brotherhood Award.

MODULE 6 – ACHIEVEMENT AWARD PRORAM Page 69 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Because of his strong feeling for Brotherhood, Desmet offered to establish the "Brotherhood Award," and the 51st Grand Council (Atlanta, 1975) gratefully accepted this benevolent gift. Desmet's grandmother had a very long, enduring respect for the value of books and education. So, in addition to an engraved plaque, the first-place Chapter receives a monetary gift for educational material. In 1999, the award itself was named in honor of past Grand President Ralph L. Saroyan (Alpha Psi), the much- traveled Brother who mentored innumerable Brothers from across the country from the 1970s and continues to mentor Brothers today. In 2014, the Executive Council renamed the Desmet Scholarship as the Saroyan Scholarship, after Ralph endowed the scholarship for years to come.

ACTIVITY: Read last year’s Brotherhood Report for your future Chapter as well as the report from last year’s winning Chapter (winning reports can be found on the Fraternity website). As a group, discuss how the report reflects Brotherhood and meets the criteria for the Brotherhood Report.

Nancy Alvarez Professional & Service Projects Award The Nancy Alvarez Professional and Service Projects Award recognizes Chapters that are involved in their communities and with their schools, participating in professional activities. First presented in 1977, a trophy is given to the Chapter obtaining the highest score.

John D. Grabenstein Leadership Award The Leadership Award was established in 1996 to recognize the Chapter that best exemplified PHI DELTA CHI's slogan "Leaders in Pharmacy” through its Leadership Report. The report recognizes individual and collective accomplishments that demonstrate leadership qualities beyond scholarship and professional projects. Chapters also gain recognition for programs that promote leader development. Individual examples include Brothers involved in other school organizations and those elected to Phi Lambda Sigma. This report is reviewed by the Regional Directors for Collegiate Affairs. Brothers from Alpha Gamma Chapter pose with Since 2005, the award honors past Grand Grand President Traci Thompson after receiving the President John D. Grabenstein (Beta first place John D.

Prescott Scholarship Cup & the Rand P. Hollenback Scholarships First presented in 1923, the Prescott Scholarship Cup is awarded to the Chapter whose scholarship report exemplifies individual and collective scholastic achievement, as well as innovative activities by the Chapter to promote scholarship and increase scholastic standing among the Brothers. This report is judged by the current Regional Correspondents. The award honors Albert B. Prescott, Dean of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan when PHI DELTA CHI was founded there in 1883. He was the first honorary Brother of the Fraternity and the first advisor to Alpha Chapter. Before the creation of the Thurston Award in 1974, the Prescott Cup was considered the highest award of PHI DELTA CHI. The Rand P. Hollenback Scholarships, first presented in 1972, are disbursed from a PLEI fund contributed by our alumni Brothers in memory of our beloved Brother Hollenback (Xi), who unselfishly served PHI DELTA CHI for over 40 years, including as a Grand Officer from 1923 through Brothers from Alpha Chapter pose with 1965. The income from the fund provides monetary Grand President Traci Thompson with scholarships to the Chapters submitting the three the first place Scholarship Award. highest-rated Prescott Scholarship Reports.

Chapter Publication Award and Norman H. Franke Scholarships Chapters prepare at least one publication each year to keep Grand Officers, Alumni Brothers, and other Chapters informed of local activities and progress. The publications are evaluated and rated by the current Regional Directors for Alumni Affairs according to these criteria: content (i.e., history and progress of Chapter activities), appeal to alumni, professional character, and arrangement and neatness. First presented in 1974, the award includes an engraved plaque and the Norman H. Franke Scholarship (first presented in 1983). Brother Franke (Chi) served as Grand Editor from 1965 until 1973; during this time he made many improvements in The Communicator. He was Grand President from 1973 until 1978, and was Grand Past President when he died in 1981. Brother Franke was much loved by PHI DELTA CHI Brothers who knew him.

Local History 7

The defining characteristic of a PHI DELTA CHI Brother is service. Nowhere else does a Brother serve more during his or her collegiate career than within his or her own local Chapter and local community. Your Chapter serves as your place of assembly, your center of information, and your gathering place for the sharing ideas and strengthening Brotherhood. Each PHI DELTA CHI Chapter has its own unique history and is full of its own accomplishments, achievements, and special memories. While every PHI DELTA CHI Brother is linked to every other Brother nationally, you will always have a special place in your heart for the Brothers in your own Chapter. Soon you will initiate into this exclusive group and will be able to share in your common bonds and successes. With this in mind, it is important for you to be familiar with your Chapter’s local history so you can be invested in its future, stay involved during your collegiate years, and continue to participate as an Alumni Brother, as we all are Brothers for Life.

8 Alumni Brothers

Brothers for Life “Brothers for Life” is not a slogan. Expect that PHI DELTA CHI will be a life-long experience, changing as you change. Growing in opportunity as you grow in experience. Expect continuing involvement, to graduation and beyond, with doings and gatherings that stretch into your alumni years. Chapters serve as centers of information and reunion for alumni Brothers, who provide advice and support. Alumni Brothers mentor collegiate Brothers. These connections form some of the strongest bonds in our fraternal union. Our Founders recognized the value of PHI DELTA CHI after graduation and expected Brothers to observe the solemn alumni obligation of continued involvement. An inverted equilateral gold pin with the Greek letter “Phi” superimposed on the Greek letter “Chi” is awarded to alumni Brothers who become Life Members. So long as each of us is a true Brother, we are Brothers for life!

The “Brothers for Life Contract” is a symbolic contract entered into by a collegiate Brother and his or her initiating Chapter as he or she transitions from collegiate to alumni status. This document is used to Brother Nancy Alvarez facilitates a session reaffirm a collegiate Brother’s fraternal love and at LDS. commitment by pledging continued support and advice to the Chapter. The signing of Brothers for Life Contracts may accompany the Graduation Ceremony, which is held during an academic session’s final meeting or a special banquet or similar event. Brothers are encouraged to keep their signed Brothers for Life Contract as a reminder of the obligation each person repeated during the initiation ceremony.

Alumni Involvement When you join PHI DELTA CHI, you are making a commitment to this Fraternity and Brotherhood. As collegiate Brothers pass to alumni status, they owe to PHI DELTA CHI their support and their advice. Alumni will always remain Brothers even after leaving their university or college. The common bond is never severed, and the oaths and obligations persist.

MODULE 8 – ALUMNI Page 79 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

In regards to remaining active after graduation, it is important to remind alumni Brothers why they joined and what they loved most about PHI DELTA CHI, such as the sense of Brotherhood, networking opportunities, built-in support system, and lifetime friendships. Alumni Brothers have become the mentors whom the collegiate Brothers will emulate and should unconditionally provide guidance, advice, and support. Supporting collegiate Brothers provides an opportunity to give the next generation a sampling of the knowledge and experiences gained while still in school.

Some ways to give back to collegiate Brothers are to review CVs or help prepare Brothers for interviews; give a seminar about your career path; be a guest speaker at a formal or informal meeting; create a scholarship for collegiate Brothers from your Chapter; tutor Brothers who need extra help in school; sponsor collegiate attendance at Grand Council or LDS through the AAAE campaign; serve as a mentor to Brothers seeking professional advice; host or support collegiate Chapter retreats or meetings; or sign up to be a preceptor for a school or college of pharmacy, so Brothers can perform experiential rotations at your practice.

ACTIVITY: Go to www.phideltachi.org under Members -> Alumni -> AAAE campaign and read what the AAAE campaign is all about!

Our Brothers across the country maintain their ties to the Fraternity by joining or forming alumni Chapters that focus on professional advancement in pharmacy, networking, and camaraderie with nearby alumni Brothers and mentoring of and supporting the collegiate Brothers. An alumni Brother can become a Chapter Advisor if they work for a university or college, volunteer to be a Colony Coordinator for a newly forming collegiate Chapter, join a committee appointed by the Executive Council, become a ChEQ visit team member, offer to be a Project Director as new needs are identified and special projects emerge, serve as a Regional Officer, or run for Grand Officer. Alumni Brothers constitute the majority of the Executive Council, so it is crucial to have involved alumni Brothers for the continued existence and successful function of the Fraternity. These are a few ways an alumni Brother can stay involved with the fraternity.

Students should seek out not only alumni Brothers from their own Chapter, but also alumni Brothers living in the area who graduated from a different Chapter. Chapters can utilize the Brother Locator function on the PHI DELTA CHI national website (you must be logged in to use the locator).

ACTIVITY: Have your Facilitator log in to the PHI DELTA CHI website and bring up the Brother locator. Search for alumni Brothers in your area.

Alumni Chapters Every alumni Brother has the opportunity to join or create an alumni Chapter of PHI DELTA CHI. These Chapters may be formed at the local, state, or regional level. Alumni may wish to become a part of an alumni chapter associated with Brothers who graduated from their home chapter. Alumni also have opportunities to be a part of an alumni chapter composed of Brothers who graduated from programs within a certain mile radius, city, or state. Alumni Chapters are unique to each alumni group and may change over time. Alumni Chapters exist to meet the needs of the alumni Brothers comprising them. Alumni Chapters may provide financial support to collegiate Chapter(s), as well as other services, such as reviewing CVs for collegiate Brothers, speaking at a formal or non-formal meeting about their career or involvement with PHI DELTA CHI, or by serving as preceptors for events hosted by a PHI DELTA CHI Chapter.

MODULE 8 – ALUMNI Page 80 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Alumni Obligations Alumni Brothers are obligated to stay connected and declare commitments to the Fraternity by paying alumni dues annually. National Alumni Dues (NADs) are $80 per year and help support the operating budget of the Fraternity. First-year NADs are $40. This promotional rate encourages new graduates who are just starting their career to remain involved in the Fraternity. First-year NADs also help support the national operating budget of PHI DELTA CHI. As collegiate Brothers transition to alumni status, the first portion of post-graduation dues can be paid by the collegiate Chapter, if the Chapter so chooses. This financial arrangement facilitates a Brother’s transition from collegiate to Alumnus. Each new graduate who pays their Alumni dues will receive an official PHI DELTA CHI coin that is minted with the graduation year. The coin will have the Fraternity’s Greek letters and “Leaders in Pharmacy” on one side. The other side will display the crest, the motto, and “Brothers for Life.” A picture of the coin is shown below.

Lifetime Membership Dues are $800 and paid only once. Lifetime Membership is different from regular NADs in that funds collected from Lifetime Memberships are placed in a reserve account, which is used to pay for the national services to alumni Brothers.

Our alumni Brothers serve as preceptors, residency directors, teachers, and colleagues for many of the collegiate Brothers who are just beginning their journey in PHI DELTA CHI. Attendance at Regional and National meetings by alumni Brothers is highly encouraged. Not only does attendance facilitate continued involvement in Fraternity affairs, but it also allows continued growth of each Brother’s personal pharmacy network. Pharmacy is a small profession and those connections can prove to be invaluable for both collegiate and alumni Brothers.

To continue receiving The Communicator and other messages from National Office, alumni Brothers need to keep the National Office informed as their addresses change over the years (both physical addresses and e-mail addresses). Brothers a few years out of college tend to move with considerable frequency, so Chapters can do their alumni Brothers a favor by information the National Office of address changes they become aware of. Alumni scholarship award winners pose with the Grand Vice President for Alumni Affairs, Andrea Bourque, at LDS.

MODULE 8 – ALUMNI Page 81 of 85 PHI DELTA CHI Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy℠

Alumni Recognition and Awards Outstanding Alumni Chapter Award The strength of PHI DELTA CHI, both in terms of its reputation and its financial resources, depends on its alumni Brothers. First presented in 1986, the Outstanding Alumni Chapter Award serves to reinforce this premise through the recognition of outstanding alumni Chapters.

This award recognizes the dedicated alumni Brothers who entered the profession and now provide role models, leadership, energy, and resources for our profession of pharmacy. Alumni Chapters are judged based on standard criteria based on activity reports submitted each year. The reports cover areas of alumni Chapter activity, including professional and social activities, chapter organization, interaction with collegiate Brothers, participation in service projects, and involvement in national activities.

Outstanding Alumnus of the Year The January Report of the Achievement Award Program was established to give special recognition to outstanding alumni Brothers from each Chapter. One report from each Chapter is printed in The Communicator to encourage further support and participation from alumni Brothers. The alumnus selected is someone who has made significant contributions to the betterment of the Fraternity in terms of time or monetarily, and is someone actively involved in their Chapter and has demonstrated leadership within the Chapter.

Distinguished Alumnus The purpose of the Distinguished Alumnus program is to recognize PHI DELTA CHI alumni who have made significant contributions to society, and whose accomplishments, affiliations, and careers have honored the legacy of excellence. The Distinguished Alumnus Award does more than honor its recipients. It also further illustrates the great value of our leadership development programs through PLEI and increases the pride amongst our members for their Fraternity. The award program recognizes those men and women who demonstrate the power of the Brotherhood experience in three distinct areas - Professional Achievement and Career, Service to Society, and Service to PHI DELTA CHI.

Selfless Servant The definition of a selfless servant is embodiment of what it means to serve the Fraternity without asking for anything in return, the humble, behind the scenes, but always present Brothers. The Selfless Servant award is only handed out at Grand Council for those alumni who have dedicated their time to the Brotherhood. The purpose of this award is to honor those Brothers who have never held a National or Regional position, but have been selflessly dedicated to remaining active within PHI DELTA CHI. In order to be nominated for this award the Brother must be an alumnus for a minimum of 10 years. Selfless Servant Pin

After initiation, we expect that Brothers are active members who help to develop and grow the Chapter and the Fraternity as a whole. Collegiate Brothers play a vital role in the success of the Fraternity by conducting themselves in a professional manner while advancing the field of pharmacy.

Similar to the fraternal education process, collegiate Brothers are expected to participate in various activities to maintain their active status. These expectations can vary among Chapters. Some Chapters establish a point system and offer incentives to encourage participation. Other Chapters have their expectations outlined in their bylaws. Minimum national expectations include payment of Chapter and national dues and attendance at Chapter meetings. As Brothers of PHI DELTA CHI, we should not be satisfied in only doing the minimum. PHI DELTA CHI produces leaders in pharmacy and we should act in accordance with this maxim. As leaders, take on positions in local and national pharmacy associations relevant to your future practice. Academically, challenge yourselves by setting academic goals for the semester. Professionally, attendance at conferences will expand your network. If at any point you find yourself struggling, reach out to your Brothers. They can offer their help as well as new perspectives on the challenges you face. Before initiation, your Facilitator will discuss with you the expectations of your Chapter.

ACTIVITY: In the space below, record the expectations of your Chapter to maintain active collegiate Brother status. Discuss with a partner what obstacles you may face in meeting these expectations and how to overcome these obstacles.

Final Remarks

This concludes the written manual for your basic education regarding the PHI DELTA CHI Professional Pharmacy Fraternity. However, your journey does not end here. In fact, this is only the beginning.

You have learned about our history and beginnings: our Founding Fathers, motto, creed, colors, and crest, among other things. You have learned about other pharmacy fraternities. You have learned about our structure and governing body. You have learned about Regional Meetings, Leader Development Seminars, and Grand Councils. You have learned about your opportunities to serve the Fraternity at the Chapter, Regional, and National levels, both now, as a collegiate and in the future, as an alumni Brother. You have learned about our quality-assurance and improvement processes through the Chapter Standards, Achievement Award Program and Chapter Excellence & Quality visits. You have learned about the history and expectations for active membership within the Chapter you seek to join.

Take what you have learned over the past weeks during your education and reflect on it. Think about what PHI DELTA CHI may mean to you. Consider how you plan to become involved with the Fraternity as a collegiate Brother and later as an alumni Brother. If you no longer feel that PHI DELTA CHI is the right organization for you, you should not continue with Initiation. Discuss any concerns you may have with your Facilitator or Big Brother.

Before you are initiated, you will sit for a final exam to test your knowledge as it relates to PHI DELTA CHI and the information found in this manual. Knowledge and understanding of the information is essential to be an active and lifelong Brother of PHI DELTA CHI.

If you feel that PHI DELTA CHI reflects your individual values, ideals, and goals, and wish to become a Brother of PHI DELTA CHI, we welcome you to continue with Initiation. We look forward to welcoming you among our ranks and seeing you at Regional and National meetings of PHI DELTA CHI. We look forward to seeing the good that you do for our organization and profession. We look forward to hearing your unique and novel ideas about how we can continue to grow and improve as an organization.

Just as learning never ceases for a pharmacist or an individual, learning and growth never cease for an organization.

We are the past and present of PHI DELTA CHI – you are the future.

From the Brothers of PHI DELTA CHI

America’s First Pharmacy Fraternity
