LEE—SPIRITUAL FOUNDER OF KAPPA ALPHA Kappa Alpha Still Holds To Southern Tradition Kappa Alpha Order was founded on Dec. 21, 1865, at what is now known as Washington and Lee University. The four founders of the Order sought to perpetuate the ideals of Christian virtue as exemplified in the life of spiritual founder Robert E, Lee. Kappa Alpha differs from other Greek organizations in the fact that it was founded as an Order, in its conception, differing from a typical fraternity. The motto is "Dieu et les Dames" or "God and Womanhood," and the flowers are the magnolia blossom and the red rose. The order's colors are crimson and old gold. From Washington and Lee University 103 years ago Kappa Alpha has expanded to 86 active chapters. Prominent brothers include Dean Rusk, J. Edgar Hoover, Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Pat Boone, Randolph Scott, and Clark Clifford. Kappa Alpha at Western Carolina originated with the formation of Kappa Alpha Pi local fraternity in the spring of 1963. KAPi was chartered as Delta Alpha chapter of Kappa Alpha Order on Oct 2, 1964, and has since grown to its present membership of 47 active brothers. In its first year at WCU the KAPi local won both the most outstanding and Greek scholarship awards. Both awards were repeated the following year after the chapter had gone national. Since that time the KA brothers have won two outstanding Intramural Trophies and the 1966 best Greek Organization Award. The Chapter has distinguished itself this year by being the only Greek organization on campus to own and operate a fraternity house. Pi Kapps Move Oil On Campus Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity was founded at the College of Charleston, South Carolina by Andrew Alexander Kroeg, Simon Fogarty, and L. Harry Mlxor. Pi Kappa Phi migrated to the west and was organized as a national fraternity at the University of California at Berkeley in 1907. The national fraternity now encompasses over 70 collegiate chapters. Lambda Sigma Nu was chartered as a local fraternity at WCU spring quarter, 1965 by William George Mueller. In the winter of 1965, less than one year after being chartered as a local fraternity, Lambda Sigma Nu became a Pi Kappa Phi colony. On November 12, 1966, it became Gamma Epsilon Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. The advisers of the WCU Chapter are Dr. William Felcher, Dr. Joseph Basset, and Mr. Anthony Brown, who is also serving as area delegate of the Western North Carolina district of Pi Kappa Phi. Gamma Epsilon's publication, "The Gamma Epic," wen third place in Pi Kappa Phi national competition. Less than two years after the Gamma Epsilon chapter was chartered, its brothers received national recognition by winning the Champion Master Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. It is the youngest chapter in the history of the fraternity to receive this award. This award signifies excellence in both campus and national office relationships. The brothers strive to assume responsibility in community, campus, and national affairs.
