2 Q&S

It’s good to visit with all 17,000 of youagain and be able to update you on variousitems of progress and Fraternity news.

All of us on the National Board, as wellas the National Office staff are highly com-mitted to work on issues and projects thatwill strengthen KDR. We take very seriouslyour responsibility — as a Board of Directorsentrusted with a care-taking role of 95 yearsof heritage and tradition that each of you nodoubt can, and do appreciate.

The Fraternity is making significantprogress on a number of fronts, whichinclude:

• Communications• Chapter and Alumni visits• Advisor training• Streamlining the National Office and

procedures• Improving the KDR Website• Recruitment• Alumni relationsAs you read this Quill and Scroll you will

be updated on specific accomplishmentswithin these listed areas.

I am happy to say that the NationalOffice staff is operating on the basis thatCOMMUNICATION and SERVICE to the chap-ters and alumni is the top priority. In orderto accomplish this goal the staff is travelinga great deal so that team building and train-ing can be done on-site. Field visits thisyear far exceed those of prior years, andthey will be increasing. The goal next yearis that all chapters will be visited at leastonce, and I assure you that it will be accom-plished. Just to be sure that everyoneunderstands the change in our respect forthe importance of field visits, Chris Millerhas implemented a belief in this standard atthe National Office that could only be moreclearly stated by a sign reading “DeskJockeys Need Not Apply.” If you have aquestion or need help on a problem, giveChris and the staff a call — you won’t bedisappointed. I guarantee.

I’m sure that it will come as no surpriseto know that we also have had to confrontissues that required “fire fighting,” puttingus into a reactive rather than proactivemode. Too many times this year we havehad to deal with violations of alcohol andmisbehavior that could have been easilyavoided. Most of these violations were theresult of a serious lack of leadership, and alack of understanding of the responsibilitiesthat members assume when they accept anoffice in the Fraternity.

KDR has had,does have, andwill have manywonderful leaders.We are fully com-mitted to help ourmembers developleadership skills - ifthat is what they desire. But as Lee Iacoccasaid, “Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”We all need to remember that when weaccept a National, Alumni or Chapter officeor position, we no longer have the option of“follow, or get out of the way.” We now“lead” and become accountable at a higherlevel. The education role that the Fraternityplays here is enormous; but that’s one of ourbasic reasons for existing — to help buildleaders. We have the talent to make this hap-pen, and we will. It may take a little time, butwe are KDR and we will get there.

In my visits to various KDR chaptersand alumni organizations I see many greatexamples of what I believe the KDR experi-ence to be — brothers helping brothers togrow, having fun doing it, and always enjoy-ing the memories of the past. I thank youall for the welcome reception you havegiven me and for letting me be a part ofyour chapter. Visits are too short, but thememories that are revived can go forever.

I also want to thank the ever-growingnumber of volunteers who continue to offertheir services at all levels, and for many dif-fering aspects of KDR. Without your signifi-cant infusion of time, effort and money wewould be “gasping for air” right now. Mypersonal thanks and those of KDR go toeach of you with deep gratification.

It’s time to wrap this up, but I hope tosee many more of you in person over thenext few months — many at KDR chaptersand alumni events, and, I hope, many at ournext annual convention in Chicago, which willtake place August 5, 6, 7. You will finddetails in this Quill and Scroll. The evening ofFriday, August 6 looks like it will be a “barn-burner,” and will include both undergrads andalumni having an opportunity to interact at aFinancial Industry Network meeting and thena Chicago Area Alumni event will follow.Don’t miss this, and end up having to readabout the good time you missed.

Take care — see you in Chicago.

Fraternally,Robert L. Swinney, Sigma ’58President

From the President

The 1998-1999 school year wasincredible for KDR. Each of the

three areas that make up KDR, theChapters, the National and theAlumni has been strengthened.Specific, measurable goals were for-mulated and then exceeded in eacharea. This is Bob Swinney’s three-legged stool analogy. Quite frankly,the stool is standing taller andstronger after a very successful year.

We have just begun. Realistically,the finish line will never be in sight.It’s the journey and the progress thatcount. Progress is not an option forKDR, it is, and will continue to be, areality.

Building Health and Strength in our Chapters

Scott Johnson and I aggressivelytraveled and visited with chapters thisschool year. Combined, the two of usperformed 69 separate chapter visitsat 35 of 41 chapters. Each of these vis-its has been extremely aggressive.Mere maintenance and superficialchecklist visits have not and will nothappen. The focus has been onincreasing recruitment, building andimproving chapter standards andoperations. We have been able tomotivate and unite chapter membersto achieve these goals, which are inline with the National Fraternity goalsand objectives.

Five Regional Conclaves were heldthis year with a total of 120 studentsfrom 28 chapters participating. This isan incredible attendance figure.During the 1997-1998 school year noRegional Conclaves were held, and inyears prior to last, attendance aver-aged significantly lower than thisyear’s results. Next year our goal is tohave 150 students from 34 chaptersparticipate.

Between the chapter visits and theRegional Conclaves, every KDR chap-ter was impacted by our program-ming. This is our expectation for eachand every year from now on.

The spring 1999 recruitment num-bers are up 21 percent over spring of1998. Combined with the fall 1998increase of 35 percent over fall 1997,the recruitment increase for the yearwas 30 percent.

The second Advisor’s Institute willbe held at the end of June. There arethree times more Chapter Advisors

The National Officetook the feedback that was offeredby Chapter Advisors at theNovember Institute and turned itinto action. Many chapters havelacked the mature, concernedguidance of an advisor. Our goal isto have each chapter’s advisor par-ticipate in the Institute over thenext three years. We have madeserious progress in achieving this goal and will continue tomove forward.

Build interest among the alumni in the “Continuation of Brotherhood”

The National Office and the Board of Directors’ AlumniAffairs Committee have continued to plan events that helpbring the alumni brothers together to share in the“Continuation of Brotherhood.” The Alumni AffairsCommittee and the Board of Directors have set a goal ofthree nationally organized events each year. The next event isFriday, August 6 in Schaumburg, Illinois.

The Financial Industry Network-New York met in Januaryand again in April. You may notice that the FIN has beenrenamed with “-New York” added to the name. This is becausewe will be adding a “-Chicago” group this summer. Their firstevent will be during the convention, a special treat for all ofthe undergraduates who are in attendance. These programshave proven to be beneficial to alumni and undergraduatebrothers alike because of the fantastic atmosphere and net-working opportunities at the events. The ability for under-graduates to learn real-life business experiences and careerdevelopment practices is unparalleled. Details are suppliedinside of this edition.

Build strength in the National OfficeWhen I last wrote to you through the Quill and Scroll, I

shared the aggressiveness with which we were recruitingundergraduate brothers to work at the National Office aftergraduation. I am very pleased to report that a highly competi-tive interview process closed with the hiring of twoProgramming Coordinators — Jonathan H. Lay and Wm.Scott Bradley. (See page 4) This will more than double ourprogramming impact with undergraduate chapters and alum-ni brothers — please see Scott Johnson’s update for thedetails on this subject. You should expect great things from allof us, and it will be our Honor to exceed those expectations.

In addition to field visits, technological advances havegreatly leveraged our resources in developing positive two-wayinteraction with the membership. “E-mail the information tome.” “Post that solution to the discussion server on the KDRWebsite.” “I’ll E-mail the documents to you immediately.”One year ago, none of this could have been said. Next year,with cell phones and notebook computers I’m happy toreport that the National Office will never sleep.

The KDR Website continues to be an extremely powerfulmeans of communication, with more than 100 people per dayvisiting and chapter materials readily available through down-loads. John Dempsey, Upsilon Alpha ’90 (St. LouisUniversity), volunteers an extraordinary amount of time tomake this project so successful. John has been kind enough towrite a separate article for this edition of the magazine thatsums up our plans for growth in the technological area.

All of our office policies and record-keeping procedures have

been simplified to be more effective and efficient. As a part ofthis process, we have discarded hundreds of pounds of non-essential equipment and administrative files. All historical andchapter information has been retained and is being properlyorganized. We are currently in the process of cleaning, organiz-ing and cataloguing all of the fraternity’s archives. The begin-ning of a regular series on the photographic history of KDRappears in this edition.

As always, there are setbacks. Alcohol and inappropriatebehavior problems consume an inordinate amount of time andother resources from the National Office that should be spentcreating positive experiences for the brotherhood. We have, andwill continue, to strongly confront problems when they arise. Allof these issues are completely preventable, and occur as a resultof a weakness or lack of leadership that doesn’t prevent them.KDR is a value-based organization that requires strong leader-ship because of the expectations that we accept as members. Wewill continue to develop our younger members’ leadership skills,not only as a means of survival, but as a means of success.

I look forward to seeing a great turnout at the WilliamsLeadership Academy and National Convention this August inChicago. As always, please call on the National Office when youneed assistance.

New Staff and Programming Goal Achievement

4 Q&S

In Chris Miller’s article he stated, “thefinish line will never be in sight. It is thejourney and the progress that count.” KDRmust continue to remain in a constant stateof growth, in the areas that strengthen ourfraternity. One of these areas is theNational Office, and the success that weexperienced this year has resulted in thestrengthening of this area. After a competi-tive interview process with a very impressivegroup of candidates, I am happy toannounce the newest additions to theKappa Delta Rho National Staff. JonathanH. Lay and Wm. Scott Bradley have recent-ly joined the office as ProgrammingCoordinators. (See below)

So, now that we have more people, whatare we going to do with them? Succeed.

With a larger staff comes the potentialto do more, and that is what we are going

to do. Chris Miller’s article touched on acouple of very key statistics in chapter visita-tions and attendance at programs: 69 chap-ter visitations affecting 35 of 41 chapters,total recruitment increasing 30 percent, 120students representing 28 chapters at theRegional Conclaves. If we can turn in theseimpressive numbers this year, just imaginewhat are going to be able to achieve withtwice the programming staff. We have setour goals, and they must be reached if wewant to continue to grow. Twice the staff . . .more than twice the success.

So what do Programming Coordinatorsdo? As with the rest of the staff, the chap-ters are their number 1 priority. When achapter calls, everything else is put on holdto address their issue or concern.

Jon and Scott will be working on andimplementing programming for the chap-

ters. Be it risk manage-ment, recruitment, orchapter finances, thesetwo are able to handleand address any situa-tion thrown at them.

Desk jockeys need not apply, huh? BobSwinney and Chris Miller couldn’t be moreright. As I reflect on the past school year, Irealize that Chris Miller and I traveled over65 percent of the year. It won’t end there.Between chapter visitations and plannedconferences, it appears that we are goingto be on the road even more this year. Thebest way to help a chapter is to be there, onsite, before they need you.

Q&S 5

Dear Sir,Well as the wise man said, it is a small world. I opened my

Winter, 1999 issue the other day and found the article entitled“Skies Over Middlebury Bring Memories of Bones”. That sent mescurrying to my archives where I dug up the enclosed copy of aphoto from the Burlington Free Press. Bones is in the front rowand Robert is on the right in the third row. I find I have close tieswith KDR brothers that I did not know I had.

I then spent quite a bit of time on the phone with three of thepilots and an old sergeant who all knew the Hunt brothers wellback in those days. All four fondly recalled many hilarious memo-ries of the two. It seems that both were considered “characters”from their antics but well liked. Bones was rated as the betterpilot of the two, if lacking a bit in air discipline. Robert was themore studious. In fact, he was remembered by all three pilotsfor his tendency to drift away from a formation and getting lostbecause of his habit of reading a book while on long, boringcross-country flights. Incidentally, Robert was known by hispeers as “Glub-Glub.” The source of this moniker is cloudy. Onerecalled that it had something to do with Robert’s Navy servicein WWII but another said it reflected his manner of militarydress, which tended toward the sloppy. I will leave it to thereader to choose.

The 134th Fighter Squadron was formed at theBurlington airport in August of 1946 with an initial cadre ofWWII veterans. The unit was called to active duty inFebruary, 1951 for service during the Korean War. I havea copy of the activation order that includes the names of1Lt. Richard Hunt and 1Lt. Robert Hunt. As was the casewith most of the Air National Guard squadrons called up,the 134th was broken up and its members assigned asindividuals to existing Regular Air Force units. Bonesstayed on active duty after the 134th was returned toReserve status in November, 1952 and the local folks losttrack of him. It appears Glub-Glub was assigned stateside

during his tour and returned to this area after release, runningthe small airport in Middlebury for a while (probably before hewent to work for Hughes).

As for the connection, I watched the flight of sixteen F-47s(including two piloted by the Hunts) fly overhead as they pro-ceeded down to the inaugural parade in Washington, DC. I was ayoung Ladd of the ripe old age of eleven in Ticonderoga, NY atthe time. I enlisted in the 134th Fighter Squadron as an AirmanBasic in 1959 and retired from the Vermont Air National Guardas a Brigadier General in 1997. I, of course, did not know theHunt brothers personally but I flew and served with and/or knewabout half the men in this photo. Pilots are famous for spinning“war stories” about the old times and the old heads. Thus, I haveheard many tales about Bones and Glub-Glub during the years ofmy career.

I have enclosed a stamped envelope in hopes you might for-ward a copy of the photo and my letter to Curt Norris. I thoughthe might enjoy hearing a little more about our mutual brothers intheir younger days.

Sincerely,David L. Ladd, Beta ’58

RECRUITMENT CONTINUES TO GROW

Roy Asbahr looked out the window of his high school class-room, in May of 1955, and directly across the street from theschool was a billboard advertisement for a red and beige ’55Chevy Bel Air convertible. There were four graduates in the car,and the top was down. The billboard tag line was “Class of ’55.”“At the time I had a 1928 Model A Ford, that I bought for $15.00.In fact, I took my wife Beverly to the Junior Prom at Oregon Statein my Model A. But, I dreamed of owning that Chevy convertiblefrom the time I saw it out the window on the billboard.”

Brother Asbahr graduated from Oregon State University in1959. Roy didn’t have any brothers or sisters growing up, and hisexperiences as a member of the Sigma Chapter of KDR helpedhim learn to live and work in harmony with 50 brothers. “I did alot of growing and maturing as a member of KDR. I reallyenjoyed living there. I stayed in the KDR house all four years,never living out or getting an apartment. It helped me to getinvolved in my college experience — much more than if I’d sataround in a dorm room. KDR was a big part of my growing up.”

Roy’s degree was in Building Construction, and his fatherwas a contractor. “My whole life has been spent building.” Royworked with his father throughout school, building a house atthe age of 19 that he sold for tuition money.

After college, Roy built homes, apartments, and small com-mercial properties. He was able to work all three phases of thebusiness, building, brokering, and land development. He servedas President of Portland HomeBuilders Association — BrotherJim Goodrich, Sigma ’60 (Oregon State University) is theExecutive Director. Roy’s current “semi-retirement/employ-ment” focus is on property management.

Brother Asbahr lives on his 26-acre farm with 21 head ofHereford cattle and 1 horse. Mt Hood is 50 miles away, the beachis 100 miles to the west, and the desert is 100 miles to the east.His hobbies include farming, fishing, travel and antique cars.

He has a collection of about 15 cars, primarily Chevys,Oldsmobiles and a Cadillac from the 1950’s. Roy has done mostof the restoration work himself. The cars are displayed in a repli-ca of a 1950’s rural car dealership that Roy built on the farm.

The dealership is accurately decorated with memorabilia thatwould be found in a dealership at that time: classic oil cans, neonsigns — even the clocks on the walls are vintage. Outside thedealership is a replica of a Tidewater Associated “Flying A” gasstation with original pumps.

“There are several cars that are particularly special to me.One is a 1932 Studebaker that my grandfather bought new, andgave to me when I was 15 —- I still have that car. Another is a1951 Chevy Bel Air hardtop that is an exact duplicate of my maincollege car that I sold upon graduation. I was able to buy one afew years ago, and restore it. I also still have the Model A Ford. Ihave all three of the cars that I had throughout my school years,’32 Studebaker, Model A Ford, and the Bel Air.”

In 1997 Oldsmobile Division of General Motors asked him tobe a part of its 100-year anniversary celebration at theIndianapolis 500 race. “A few years back I bought a 1950 Oldsconvertible and restored it. It was in terrible shape when pur-chased, but it’s a beauty now. Oldsmobile doesn’t build convert-ibles anymore, and they needed open cars for the pageantry. Mycar was one of 33 selected by them to be in the pageant. Wemade two laps around the track just before the race with one ofthe 33 Princesses, as well as the previous day’s parade with a race

driver aboard.” Roy also has a duplicate of the Oldsmobile thatwon the 1950 Mexican Road Race. Oldsmobile again broughtRoy and Beverly with this car, to Daytona, Florida in 1997, also asa part of the 100-year anniversary celebration during theDaytona Speed Week.

One of the clearest points that Roy makes is that you have toget enjoyment out of life by being active in your life. He drives allof the cars, and does a lot of touring in them. “You can’t have lifestatic and on display. It is the satisfaction of the work with thesecars and the accomplishment that is so enjoyable.”

“In 1974 I finally bought that 1955 Chevy Bel Air convertiblethat I’d dreamed about since high school. By all rights, it shouldhave been turned into scrap metal. I was able to completely reno-vate and rebuild it.”

“My wife of 39 years had been hearing about that billboardoutside of my high school and the car ever since we met. She ranacross an old billboard poster at an antique shop in 1990. Thestoreowner had a series of them. She was able to find an identi-cal copy of the billboard that I stared at in high school, and gaveit to me for Christmas. That billboard is now displayed in thedealership building behind the car.”

Brother Asbahr’s 60th birthday party was held in the dealer-ship. Everyone who came in a classic car parked around the gaspumps at the Flying A gas station. Those who drove modernirons had to park on the side of the road.

Roy said his kids tell him, “It isn’t 1957 anymore, dad.” Roysays, “I am not so sure, because it looks like it could be fromhere.”

Q&S 7

In the early 1960’s, Bill Siverlingand Gary Nalbandian were both broth-ers of the Zeta Chapter at Penn StateUniversity. In fact, in 1964, his senioryear, Gary was consul of the chapter andits representative on the Inter-FraternityCouncil (IFC). On the IFC, he servedon the board of control, which enforcedIFC rules and decisions involving thevarious fraternities.

After graduation, both brothersmoved to the Harrisburg area. Neitherset out to be a real estate agent, butneeding jobs after graduation they bothended up working at the Nelson firm inHarrisburg. The two made a good team.Gary thought up the ideas and Bill car-ried them out.

Today, they operate Commercial-Industrial Realty Co. (CIR) - NewAmerica, the Harrisburg area’s largestcommercial real estate firm.

Commercial realty brokers primarilydeal with the sale and lease of officeand factory space. They don’t sell hous-es although they might sell a large tractof land for a development. Last yearCIR racked up over $200 million insales and leases.

The early days were a challenge forthe duo. In the beginning, there were

no firms specializing in commercial-industrial real estate. Bill and Garydeveloped their own expertise.Specialization developed in the 1970’swith the growth of franchise chains likeMcDonald’s and Burger King.

When they opened their doors in1970, CIR had two employees, Bill andGary. According to Gary, “Every day washard times. When you’re straight com-mission, it takes awhile to get thepipeline filled.”

The Arab oil embargo in 1973 was ablow. Once that was past, growth wasslow but steady. Leasing has becomeone of CIR’s strong points. According toGary, match-ing clients’needs withthe needs ordemands ofbuildingowners canbe tricky.

Althoughstill veryactive intheir busi-ness and thecommunity,both Bill

and Gary are beginning to take moretime for things they enjoy. For instance,Bill recently returned from a trip toAfrica where he and his wife along witha group of friends climbed Katmandu.

*Our thanks for this article go to BillSiverling and Gary Nalbandian. In addi-tion, this article was based on an article orig-inally prepared and published by the Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, onSunday, July 25, 1993.

KAPPA DELTA RHO IS FOR LIFE! TWO ZETA BROTHERS TOOK THE MEANING TO HEART

TRUE BROTHERHOOD“Somebody” once said that a true brother will reach in

his wallet and hand you a five, a ten, or a twenty - if you ask(nicely); others might disagree.I, for one, have never forgotten a situation thatoccurred in June of 1943 at Camp Hale, Colorado. At that

time, it was the home of the 10th Mountain Division in train-ing as the only ski troop division in the United States Army.While in training there, I had casually met a Private fromOregon and had discovered that he had pledged to SigmaChapter of Kappa Delta Rho while attending Oregon State. Ihad joined KDR through the Gamma Chapter a year earlierwhile going to the State University at Albany, NY. BlaineBrattain was not even in the same regiment so was quar-tered nowhere near me; it was almost a miracle that I hadever met him.

I suddenly received a telegram from the Red Cross toinform me that a very close, first cousin had been killed in anaval training mission off the coast of California. A request

had been initiated for an emergency two-week furlough so Imight attend the funeral back in Rochester, New York. I wasrather short of funds having just been discharged from thehospital with scarlet fever. We were in a training session inone of the camp movie theaters when I spotted Blaine dur-ing one of our ten-minute breaks. Without any hesitation, Iapproached him, explained that I hoped to get an emer-gency furlough and asked if I could borrow some money.Without the least hesitation, he reached in his wallet andgave me a twenty-dollar bill. (For younger brothers, this wasthe equivalent of one month’s take home pay for an ArmyPrivate.) I thanked him profusely for I was most grateful. Idid get the furlough, did get to Rochester to grieve with ourfamily, did return to camp, and did repay Blaine. I haven’tseen him since; nor have I ever forgotten him. This, to me,has always been one meaning of “True Brotherhood”.Submitted by

The spring 1999 RegionalConclaves were a great success.120 students from 28 chapters par-ticipated. They were held on fivecampus locations throughout themonths of February and March. Thestudents participated in interactiveworkshops on recruitment, goal set-ting and strategic planning, financialmanagement, officer transition andrisk management.

The attendees represented thefull range of undergraduate brothersfrom current officers to pledges.This was a great opportunity for theNational Fraternity to affect the per-formance of the chapters in keyareas. The undergraduate membersalso had excellent opportunities tomeet other chapters’ members andshare ideas with each other.

As a special treat, the RattiStone “went on tour” to most of theRegional Conclaves so that theundergraduate brothers could havea chance to find a physical connec-tion with the heraldry and history ofKDR.

These programs were made pos-sible through an educational grantfrom the Kappa Delta RhoFoundation. A special thanks goesto the host chapters and volunteersthat made this program a success.

No more is necessary — we’ll letthe pictures tell the rest.

FOUNDATION

A short time ago, trustees Andrew Barth, Nu Alpha ’83 , andRobert Corrie, Beta ’53; Director of Gift Planning andDevelopment William Paris, Eta ’87, and I had the pleasure ofhaving lunch with Lee Idleman, Iota ’54. Exchanging ideas andviews with friends and associates is a very important part of ourKDR brotherhood and tradition. But this lunch turned out tobe a very provocative one. About half way into the luncheon,Brother Idleman asked each of us to tell him what we thoughtKDR would be like 50 years from now. The answers were verydiverse, from a smaller, but stronger KDR to a KDR with 200chapters. We also discussed the issues of fraternity relevance intoday’s campus climate. Of course, there were no right orwrong answers, just an attempt to delve into some scenarios thatmay become reality. And, that is what the KDR National Boardof Directors is doing — delving into scenarios and mapping outa blueprint for the success of KDR in the next century.

Brother Paris has often mentioned that “KDR is a laboratoryof life.” From its beginnings 95 years ago to today, KDR is a con-tinuous tapestry of solid lifetime accomplishments. EverywhereI travel, I see those accomplishments in action with our under-graduate members, and particularly with our alumni. And,every year our alumni base is growing stronger and stronger.

In just six years, a very dedicated group of alumni haveguided the Kappa Delta Rho Foundation to a new sense ofresponsibility and achievement. For example, scholarship dol-

lars have increased more than tenfold. Grants to the National Fraternityto promote new and exciting pro-grams to enable undergraduates toattain their chapter and personalgoals have doubled. This kind ofachievement has not been the resultof some casual, “out-of-the-sky” phe-nomenon, but from a well-thought-out plan that involves alumni participation at all levels in KDR.

Our alumni are the movers and shakers in KDR. Time andagain, they have proven to me the “essence” of what it means tobe a KDR brother. The legacies of our alumni give us strengthand courage to round the next corner in the road to an emo-tionally and financially secure KDR.

Yes, there are even greater plans in store for the KDRFoundation in the not-to-distant future. And, those plans againinvolve our alumni. A very adulterated paraphrase from an oldsaying states it best: “KDR alumni never die or fade away, we justfind bigger and better things for them to do.”

Fraternally,Paul A. Downes, Gamma ’68President

The First Attempt - 1960The first time Kappa Delta

Rho made an effort to form aFoundation was in 1960. At thattime, a group of alumni volun-teers believed that the Fraternityand its chapters would benefitfrom programs that aFoundation could sponsor.

A Foundation was formedand, over a period of severalyears developed a narrow mis-sion. The focus of theFoundation at that time was toassist chapters with improvingtheir libraries and with scholar-ship recognition. Several grantswere made to chapters to pur-chase suitable books as addi-tions to their libraries. In addi-tion, a National ScholarshipTrophy was purchased and usedto recognize those chapterswith top academic achievement.

The effort was small, andwith the challenges confrontingthe Fraternity in the middle tolate 1960’s energy and interest

in continuing the Foundationceased. Thus, by the end of the1960’s the first attempt atforming the Kappa Delta RhoFoundation was dormant.

As many alumni know, theNational Fraternity coastedthrough the 1970’s with a mini-mal degree of activity. Then, in1980, the Fraternity began toexpand. With the Reagan era ofconservatism, the Fraternitysystem rebounded in popularitynationally. This time, KDR tookadvantage of the interest andbegan to build.

As part of the buildingprocess, in 1983, the NationalStaff and Board of Directorsrecognized that a strongFoundation could play a vitalrole in the future of KDR. So, inNovember of 1983 with a verygenerous lead gift of appreciat-ed stock from alumnus AlvahBorah, Eta ’32, the Kappa DeltaRho Foundation was officiallyincorporated.

MISSIONThe Kappa Delta RhoFoundation

Financially supports theeducational, leadership, andcharacter development pro-grams undertaken by theNational Fraternity of KappaDelta Rho.

Through these programs,members learn the value of ser-vice, acquire skills to confrontthe challenges of society, andmake a lifetime commitment toplace honor above all things.

The Kappa Delta RhoFoundation also administersscholarship programs andmakes awards to members ofthe National Fraternity of KappaDelta Rho

The Early DaysUp until the formation of the

Foundation, and for a period ofa few years thereafter, theGeneral Fund to benefit theNational Fraternity was conduct-

ed by the National Fraternity.No fund raising was done by theFoundation. During these firsttentative years, alumni volun-teers were recruited to betrustees. Paperwork was filedwith the Internal RevenueService and the volunteers andstaff completed other basicorganizational issues.

In 1988, the Foundation andFraternity received the firstmajor gift in their history. A$50,000 challenge gift fromalmnus Bob Jones, Alpha ’59.Bob was a trustee and, in hiswords, “I wanted to raise thelevel of expectation as to whatwas possible for KDR. Toomany alumni, myself included,had placed KDR very low on ourgiving list. And, yet, many of uscredit our experience with KDRas one of the most profound inour college experience.”

As a result of BrotherJones’ gift, the Foundation’sassets, which had slowly grown

FOUNDATION

to about $30,000 over the firstfive years of existence, shot upto $84,000. A very modestendowment, but, for KDR, thestart of something far greater.

A DECADE OFGROWTH

The past ten years havetruly been a Decade of Growthfor KDR and the Kappa DeltaRho Foundation. For many alum-ni, the thought of growth andstrength in KDR was desirablebut seemingly unattainable.However, with quiet diligencethe Foundation has grown.

Many alumni fail to realizethe vital role the Foundationplays in the structure of KDR.To understand this role requiresan answer to a fundamentalquestion . . . why does theFoundation matter?

TODAY, the Kappa DeltaRho Foundation is a 501 (c) (3)charitable foundation recog-nized by the Internal RevenueService. The Foundation, asstated in its mission, has twoprimary functions. The first andlargest function is to providefinancial support to pay for vari-ous educational programs spon-sored by the National Fraternity.These program grants, this fis-cal year, will equal nearly$100,000 or 20 percent of theNational Fraternity’s budget.

With grants now availablefrom the Foundation, theFraternity implemented anAdvisor’s Institute to recruit,train, and support volunteeradvisors to support each chap-ter. This is a tall order, but onewhich in the long run will have atremendous positive impact onthe undergraduate chapters.

The Fraternity is alsoincreasing their staff to provideadditional support throughdirect visitations to the variouschapters. Additional efforts areunderway to continue toenhance on-line communicationthrough the KDR Website atwww.kdr.com. And, efforts arealso underway to support a newnetworking program for mem-bers begun at The KDRFinancial Industry Network.

How has all this been madepossible? Alumni support!Kappa Delta Rho and the KappaDelta Rho Foundation are mem-bership organizations not unlikeyour college, church, or local

YMCA. In the past 10 years, theKDR Foundation began to visitwith our membership and dis-cuss the importance of the pro-grams supported by theFoundation. And, the Foundationasked people for support.

According to William J.Paris, director of gift planningand development for the KDRFoundation, “It is not uncom-mon to meet with an alumnuswho feels that the Fraternitysystem today is not what it waswhen he was in school. In someways that’s true, the system willalways change as societychanges. But, the basic experi-ence available in KDR is thesame. We are a laboratory forlife. The members learn to livetogether, work together, moti-vate each other, manage

money, and handle discipline toname a few. These all may beintangible experiences, but theyare at the core of the value ofthe experience we offer. And,that experience is as valuabletoday as it ever was.”

The second major programadministered by the Foundationis the scholarship program. Tenyears ago, the Foundation hadassets of less than $100,000and awarded scholarships ofless than $2,000. This year theFoundation will award nearly$37,000 in scholarships toover 30 members of theFraternity. According to PaulDownes, Gamma ’68, presidentof the Foundation, “We are verypleased with the progress wehave made with the scholarshipprogram. Many new endowed

scholarships were started. Inaddition, the trustees raised theminimum scholarship award to$500 so as to make the individ-ual awards more meaningful.”

Today the Kappa Delta RhoFoundation has assets of slight-ly less than one million dollars.Through the General Fund, over1,300 alumni contribute eachyear to invest in the programssupported by the Foundation.Program grants to the NationalFraternity, this fiscal year, willbe nearly $100,000 or nearly20 percent of the Fraternity’sbudget. In addition, theFoundation will award nearly$37,000 in scholarships toover 30 members of theFraternity.

WHY DOES THEFOUNDATION MATTER?

With grant support of$100,000, nearly 20 percent ofthe Fraternity’s operating bud-get, the Foundation is helping toenable the Fraternity to offergreater support and services toits chapters and members. Thisamount of support is largelydue to an increase in the num-ber of alumni supporting theGeneral Fund each year. As aresult, the Fraternity has goodprograms. In the future, theFoundation will strive toincrease its resources to enablethe Fraternity to have great pro-grams. In short, the Foundationwill provide the margin of excel-lence in various programs theFraternity may choose to offer.

In the meantime, theFoundation is ever vigilant to tryand maintain the strength of theGeneral Fund. An economicdownturn or unanticipated ill-ness, death or financial rever-sals for major donors couldimpact the Foundation.According to Paul Downes,Gamma ’68, Foundation presi-dent, “Ever since my collegeyears up to the present, itseems all I can remember isthat KDR was fairly small andlived hand to mouth each year.We always felt it was difficult tocompete without a strongnational organization. In thenext few years, we’re going tochange all of that. No longer willKDR live hand to mouth. Wehave a vision for the futurewhich I feel is very exciting”

Q&S 13

Very recently, the com-puting and staff mem-ber capabilities of the

National Office jumped con-siderably. With the installationof the Microsoft NT Serverand networked Windows 98computers, the staff easilyshares common files, utilizesthe same software, and com-municates with the member-ship. The technological plan,established to facilitate anexponential growth of commu-nication and services for themembership, is designed as atwo track route that builds offeach other. “Office DataManagement andAccessibility” is identified asthe internal track and“Communication with theMembership” is defined as theexternal track. The tracks,although separate today, shalldevelop into a single entity inthe near future.

THE INTERNAL TRACK

In the past, each NationalOffice staff member generallymaintained their own records.Also, incompatible softwareprograms and filing systemswere used by staff membersworking in the same office.Currently, the National Officestaff is implementing an activedata management plan tostore all files (electronic andpaper) in common locationsfor access by the entire team.Not only does our staff main-tain the current status of themembership and the chapters,but it retains the historicalinformation as well. Our planutilizes a dynamic design toidentify a single storage loca-tion for each and every type ofinformation utilized by thestaff. For a staff of a half dozenor so, communication, organi-zation, and easy access to theinformation are key parame-ters for serving the member-ship effectively.

The next advancement ofthe plan utilizes web-basedapplications to access the elec-tronic data. Throughout thenext year, static and dynamicweb based applications shall beimplemented to create a menudriven, easy access system to

retrieve, edit, create, or distrib-ute any information of interestto our National Office staff.The process will reduce theneed for additional softwarelicenses and establish a founda-tion for membership data pro-cedures and policies. In addi-tion, it establishes a foundationof data management for futureuse on the external track.

THE EXTERNAL TRACK

The number of individualsthat access the Kappa DeltaRho website, www.kdr.com,continues to grow. More than ahundred different individualsaccess the website every day toobtain current and historicalinformation about NationalOffice programs, chapterevents, and member informa-tion. During the school year,the website access rate fromthe membership is even larger.Even though the website isapproaching its 5th year ofcontinuous existence, I believethat it is still in its infancy.There is a long way to go.

Presently, most memberregistration, chapter informa-tion, and convention/leadership school forms areavailable on the website. In thenext year, all membership, reg-istration, and applicationforms will be integrated fordirect electronic submittal tothe National Office. Althoughpaper forms will be availablefor those not able to access thewebsite, the preferred mecha-nism for transmitting informa-tion will be electronically. Thisprocess will greatly reduce thetime and effort to complete

and process the forms. In addi-tion, the website hosts a mem-ber E-mail address and webpage information databasesorted by chapter. An onlineform enables a member todirectly submit new informa-tion to store in the databaseand dynamically link theInternet addresses to the chap-ter listing.

Since the members andour values are our strength,our National Office staff mustbe able to access member andchapter information while vis-iting our chapters and alumnimembers. Our vision incorpo-rates the use of a virtual officefor our traveling consultantsand leaders. The internal trackweb based process shall bemodified for use, in an exter-nal capacity, by our travelingstaff and the membership atlarge. Secure portions of thewebsite and National Officeserver are under developmentfor use by members requiringspecial access to the data.

TYING IT ALL TOGETHER

As the internal track matures,the external track shall benefitwith additional informationavailable for the website.Similarly, the external trackshall provide the data for theinternal track. With the contin-uous addition of new capabili-ties, each track shall supple-ment the other track to agreater extent, until the tracksblend into a single process. Atthat point, the communicationamong the membership andwith the National Office staffsurge past any level of commu-nication that I have seen since Iwas initiated a member in 1988.

Although I push the elec-tronic mechanisms for commu-nicating with the membershipand storing key membershipinformation, one key elementwill always remain — commu-nication in person. Since ourNational Office staff is commit-ted to provide you with thebest service possible, they willcontinue to connect with eachmember via all means of com-munication. The electronictechnology provides anothertrack for the members to com-municate with each other orwith the National Office staff.

14 Q&S

My first meeting of the FinancialIndustry Network was in the fall of 1998 atthe headquarters of a major Wall Streetfirm, in a conference room a few floorsbelow street level. As I walked into the cav-ernous building, I felt slightly intimidated bythe armies of blue-suited men marchingbriskly through the lobby and out the largerevolving doors. After receiving my visitor’spass and descending into the basement, Isat down in a conference room full ofpeers and KDR alumni and listened as apanel of four Alumni spoke about theircareers. Between them they had almost80 years of experience in the Financial

Services Industry. An unaccustomedstranger to the world of which they spoke Ilistened intently as they spoke of the cul-ture of Wall Street and the things theyunderwent in order to achieve their currentstatus.

After hearing their presentation andsuggestions to the young KDRs, I decidedto venture to the front of the room to askquestions of the panelists, none of whom Ihad met before. As I extended my handand introduced myself, I did not know whatto expect; the man seemed stern and hadno expression on his face. However, as weconversed, I noticed the thought and carehe put into each of his answers and real-ized that he was in fact an extremelyfriendly guy who seemed to care abouthelping and educating young KDRs withregards to finding a job on Wall Street. As Icontinued to meet people throughout thenight, I found that everyone was gregari-ous and seemed to be willing to help out inone way or another.

The value of this experience, to me,lies in the exposure to the inhabitants ofthe professional world, and in the informa-tion they provide. Through the FIN I havemet Investment Bankers, Asset Managers,Securities Traders, and Entrepreneurs, allof who I maintain contact with today. Myconception of Wall Street and the business

world greatly changed as I progressedthough the semester and the followingyear; I was no longer intimidated by it butintrigued and motivated. Through a num-ber of office visits, a spring internship, andmock Venture Capital presentation, I havebecome more comfortable interacting withbusiness professionals. This past spring, inpart because of my experience with FIN, Isuccessfully landed a summer internshipwith a major Wall Street firm in itsInvestment Banking Division.

Meeting the right people is the bestand sometimes to the only way to get jobsin competitive fields such as these. AnyKDR can greatly increase his chances oflanding a well paying job with unlimitedcareer potential by going to these meet-ings, listening to what they have to say,and introducing themselves to the speak-ers and audience members. These peoplecan give you the benefit of their experi-ences, their successes, and their mistakesin order to help you make right decisionsfor your own career. The FIN has helpedme obtain tangible results and I hope moreKDRs take advantage of this opportunity.

CHAPTER ETERNAL

Ihave written literally hundreds of stories inthe past four years, using thousands uponthousands of words to try to convey precise-

ly what I am trying to express. This assignment, however, is by far the

toughest I have ever had. Tuesday, February 9, 1999, the Epsilon

Chapter lost a fine alumnus and a wonderfulman, Jason Kuhn, who died of complicationsfrom cancer at about 6:45 p.m. Jason foughtthe disease for over two years after his initialdiagnosis with Hodgkin’s Disease, strugglingthrough various treatments, side effects andfalse signs of hope to earn his degree after firstsemester last year.

Jason was a 1993 graduate of RushvilleConsolidated High School andadvertising/public relations major at FranklinCollege.

He also happened to be one of the besthuman beings I have ever known. A man I amproud to say was a good friend. Guys wanted tobe around him, girls constantly asked abouthim, and professors loved to have him in class.He is directly connected to most of my bestmemories of my first two and a half years atFranklin. Even on one of the last times I sawhim, at a fellow fraternity brother’s wedding, heshowed more interest in what was going on inmy life than in his own circumstances.

It is hard to memorialize Jason withoutslipping into what may seem like cliches.However, with him, they are all true. Everyonewho ever had the opportunity to spend timewith him should feel lucky and honored. Thereare so many stories to tell, many that we whowere close to him will keep to ourselves, and

others we will gladly share with anyone whocares to take the time to listen.

I wish I could turn back time. I wish that,for one day, I could take the time to pay atten-tion as he walked through the house singing,lounged in the balcony sun, or showed up inmy door with a wicked grin on his face.

I last had a conversation with Jason onDecember 26, at Indiana University Hospital indowntown Indianapolis, it was during a visit notunlike any other. I visited with him for abouttwo hours that day. We talked about a lot ofthings, but often had to pause because hewould nod off due to his morphine intake.That was all right with me, though, becausewhen he would start talking again, he pickedup right where he left off — a fact that made

both of us laughwhen I made himaware of it.

He still hadtremendous atti-tude, and some ofthe trademark grin Ihad grown to love— no amount ofpain could ever robhim of those attrib-utes or his will tolive, for that matter.

Jason made sure that everyone around himknew it, too.

Jason may have been dying, but he certain-ly never took one minute to stop living.

With his passing, his family lost a son,brother, uncle, and cousin; my friends and Ihad lost not only one of the best friends wehave had or will ever have, but a brother; andthe world lost a great human being. We willnever know what Jason was capable of doing, orhow his intelligence would have affected ourworld — that’s left to the imagination. Believeme, the sky was the limit for that young man.

I know that Jason’s 24 years on this earthwere not in vain — he lived a tremendously fulllife that was cut short, tragically, before he evencame close to his prime. I also know that I havebecome a much better person because of thesix years that I knew Jason, the past two-and-a-half of which I saw my brother and friend showan outstanding amount of strength andcourage in his battle with cancer.

Nothing can bring back our brother, but,with the help of his family and our Epsilon fami-ly, we’re going to keep his name with us.Brothers Jeff Carroll, Adam Decker, MarcSteczyk, and Andy Wilson have began efforts tostart two scholarships in Jason’s name atFranklin College. One Jason D. Kuhn MemorialScholarship will be awarded annually to a mem-ber of our chapter. A junior will earn the otherscholarship, also awarded annually, in the adver-tising/public relations sequence at FranklinCollege’s Pulliam School of Journalism.

We know it is not the norm to solicit fundsfrom other chapters, but we would like to pro-vide an opportunity for our brethren to lendsupport. Any contributions may be made toFranklin College, Attn: Kristy Brown, 501 EastMonroe Street, Franklin, IN 46131. Attach anote or write in the memo line of your checkthat the contribution is being made to theJason D. Kuhn Memorial Scholarship Fund.

We feel this is the best way that we canhonor our fallen brother and to always keephim in our hearts and minds.

Jason, you are already missed. You willnever be forgotten. But you already know that.

18 Q&S

by Brett Kemp, Zeta Beta ’97This year the Zeta Beta Chapter of

Kappa Delta Rho, in little Stephenville,Texas, celebrated its 10th annual RedRose Formal. Most of us couldn’t believethat ten years had gone by so quickly. Itseems like it was just yesterday when our19 founding fathers didn’t find whatthey were looking for in the Greek sys-tem at Tarleton and decided to bringKDR to Texas. But, sure enough, it hadbeen 10 years, 21 pledge classes, around170 initiations and enough memoriesand friendships to last a lifetime.

We started off the festivities, as wehave for the past several years, with afour-man golf scramble early Saturdaymorning the day of formal. Prizes areawarded to the winners, and the teamwith the worst score. More than fortyindividuals played in the tournament.Alumni, actives, and parents all had agreat time.

The Zeta Beta Alumni Foundationheld one of its semi-annual meetingsbetween the golf tournament and theformal. We were fortunate enough tohave 27 individuals present at this meet-ing, three of whom are ChapterFounders, as well as Scott Johnson,Director of Programming and MemberServices of the National Fraternity. Mostof the active chapter’s officers were pres-ent, as our meeting is open to under-grads as well as Parents. This year’s hot

topic was theZeta Beta Foun-dation of KappaDelta RhoAlumni findingand purchasinga house for theundergraduatechapter.

Now on tothe event wehad all beenwaiting for.Over one hun-dred and seven-

ty people were dressed in their best andready for an incredible time. Theevening began with an opening prayerby the out going Pontifex. After dinner— chicken of course — it was time toconduct the business end of the Formal.The outgoing Consul called the formalto order and began a presentation ofawards, special recognitions, and schol-arships. This year the AlumniFoundation presented the incomingConsul with a Scholarship to help deferthe ever rising cost of school. One of

our Founders made a speech about howZeta Beta got started and it made all ofus realize just how lucky and blessed wewere that they made such a wonderfuldecision. The active chapter presentedall alumni with a 10-year commemora-tive glass pitcher that was decorated witha list of our chapter’s 19 foundingfathers. It was NICE. The slide show pre-sentation from the undergraduate chap-ter was next. It was a look at the pastyear’s events with a few Kodak momentsthrown in from the years gone by. Thepresentation lasted around 10-15 min-utes and was a blast. After the slide showthe outgoing Consul turned over thegavel to the new Chapter Consul whogave a small speech, asked the incoming

Pontifex to close with prayer, and calledthe 10th annual Red Rose Formal offi-cially over. Now it was time to party!! Welike to have a dance immediately follow-ing Formal. So the D.J. cranked up themusic, the cash bar was officially openedand the lights were turned down. After atwo-step or two (we are from Texas, afterall) many of us alumni like to socializeand catch up on who moved where, whogot married, how many kids someonehas etc... We always take time out fromdancing to take a couple of group pic-

tures. This is becoming more and moredifficult with the number of brothers inattendance. In my book that is a tradeoff I am willing to live with. This partylasts into the morning hours. Unless, ofcourse you are an Alumnus — each yearI seem to call it quits earlier and earlier.This year my wife and I called it a nightat midnight. Boy, am I getting old orwhat? But at least I have one moreincredible memory to add to my KDRcollection. Formal has always been aspecial time for me because I asked mywife to marry me in front of 140 peopleat the Red Rose Formal of ’97. Since Ibecame an alumnus it has grown tomean even more. Here’s to looking for-ward to next year.
