Phi Delta Chi Professional Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy SM Brothers for Life, Since 1883 Pledge Manual A Guide to Fraternal Education Name: ________________________________ Chapter: ________________________________ SIXTH EDITION version February 2011 SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy Dedication: Brother Louis C. Cipriany With great respect, we dedicate this sixth edition of the Phi Delta Chi Fraternal Education Manual to Brother Louis C. Cipriany (Epsilon). Lou served as Honorary Grand President during the 57th Grand Council Monterey, 1989). A charter member of the Phi Delta Chi Board of Counselors, he practiced pharmacy in community, hospital, industrial, and consultant settings. Brother Cipriany claimed ownership of the original idea to add milk of magnesia to Amphogel® to relieve constipation, thus giving rise to the Maalox® brand. He remembered receiving a $1.00 consultation fee for his sage advice [Communicator Winter 1990:2]. Lou was born on September 11, 1920. Initiated into Epsilon Chapter, he earned his B.Sc. degree from Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in 1941 and his M.Sc. degree in 1950. During World War II, he served with the U.S. Army’s Medical Administrative Corps. He owned and operated several community pharmacies and was an active member of APhA, ASCP, and the Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association. He was one of the charter members who formed the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists in 1942. Lou was very active and supportive of the Epsilon Chapter of Phi Delta Chi, and in 1960, Lou was instrumental in encouraging pharmacy students at Duquesne University to form our Beta Gamma Chapter. Throughout his career, Lou could always be seen at major pharmacy meetings throughout the country. Phi Delta Chi Brothers from across decades recognized Lou’s friendly face. His pride in and support of the Fraternity was unwavering. He was a true symbol of goodwill. Although health concerns limited his ability to travel in the early 1990s, Lou kept in touch and his name was frequently brought up when Phi Dex Brothers gather at national meetings. Lou passed away February 18, 2005, but his spirit will always be a part of Phi Delta Chi. Brothers Dean McCann, Dick Parent, and Dick Smith of Omicron Chapter originated 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 Centennial Grand Council; in 1987, led by Alpha Eta Chapter; and between 1998 and 2005, coordinated by Grand VP for Alumni Affairs Dave Karls and Grand VP for Student Affairs Michael Mohundro, with input from Grand Officers, Regional Meeting attendees, and other Brothers. This Fraternal Education Manual serves as a guide for each person pledged and committed to PHI DELTA CHI. It aids learning about the Fraternity and serves as a reminder of the voluntary obligations that each aspiring Brother assumes. To each, we sincerely suggest your diligent reading and application of the information contained herein. Initiated Brothers: Refer back to this Manual periodically for instruction and renewal. We wish each of you success in your fraternal journey. We urge you to work diligently for your Fraternity. For only as a Brother becomes more and more involved in PHI DELTA CHI can "Life's Crowning Star of Brotherhood" be attained. Copyright © 2011, Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc.

Brothers for Life Page 3 SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy Status & Rights During Fraternal Education The status of an aspiring Brother of PHI DELTA CHI is that of a student learning to become scholastically, professionally, and socially adapted to Fraternity life. Upon committing to the Fraternity, a man or woman surrenders no legal or social rights, no family or personal affiliations, nor any moral 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, Prospective Brothers 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 Prospective Brothers and Initiated Brothers to demonstrate Fraternalism, repeated cyclically each semester. Fraternal Education The fraternal education period is a probationary period during which adjustments are made in both Prospective and Initiated Brothers. It is a time for learning about the Fraternity, its ideals, and the personality of its Brothers. It can be a very humbling time, as we find out how much we have to learn about human nature. Its culmination, however, is the most rewarding of life's events -- the sharing of true Brotherhood. What other opportunities does PHI DELTA CHI offer? Service in the name of the Brotherhood, advancement of the profession of Pharmacy, better scholarship and better living through friendship, life-long pleasures to those who will accept them-- these are but a few of the things that a successful Brother learns through the Fraternity. The Fraternity, by its very name, is a Brotherhood. Therefore, a Prospective Brother has the right to expect treatment like that of an Initiated Brother. The Prospective Brother also has the right to fair consideration and treatment from those with more fraternal experience. It is the right and privilege of the Prospective Brother 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. Prospective Brothers should have complete confidence in their Big Brothers. Prospective Brothers should discuss freely all aspects of the Fraternity without fear of reprisal. 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. If the Chapter maintains a house, remember that the house acts as a home for Brothers while they are students. The Prospective Brother living in the house has the right to safe and comfortable quarters, reasonable privacy, and appropriate conditions for study and conduct of reasonable personal activities. At any meeting of Prospective Brothers, it is appropriate for one to request permission to speak and, after being given the floor, to express his or her opinion on any matter of importance to the Fraternity. If the Prospective Cohort adopts the proposed course of action, it may be presented for consideration to the collegiate Chapter at its regular meeting. Obligations During Fraternal Education A Prospective Brother of PHI DELTA CHI, upon taking the Initial Pledge of Brotherhood & Fidelity, necessarily assumes not only a great responsibility toward the Fraternity, but a series of traditional obligations. Attitude of Mind. It is futile to attempt to control another's thoughts. Nor would it be desirable, given the ideals of PHI DELTA CHI, to suppress reasonable individuality and freedom of thought. When a Prospective Brother accepts a bid for membership, however, he or she is obligated to regard the Fraternity with a spirit of respect and sincerity and to give its teachings conscientious consideration. A disrespectful attitude toward the Fraternity, so long as the Fraternity is motivated Page 4 by its traditional ideals, is uncalled for, and is reason for reprimand or other action. levels. Chapter meetings and activities take precedence over social engagements and interests outside the Chapter. Fraternity Interests. Ordinarily, a person should not pledge a Fraternity unless a reasonable amount of time can be devoted to its affairs. At least several hours a week should be devoted to work of the Fraternity. During fraternal education, some required tasks might seem without purpose. But they have a sound purpose, if they instill lessons of honor, respect, and responsibility. The work of PHI DELTA CHI has produced leaders in every aspect of our profession. Each Prospective Brother can look forward to a life of continued service to the Fraternity-at the Chapter, Regional, and National Fraternalism. One of the first things a Prospective Brother learns about his or her fellows and the Initiated Brothers is their imperfections. There is very little "perfect" Brotherhood on the face of our earth, but college fraternities may offer examples of brotherly association and devotion as fine as can be found. A college fraternity has ideals, but is not ideal. Remember, when the present ideal is reached, there will be new goals to strive for. A fine, although sometimes disagreeable, aspect of a Fraternity is that it obliges Brothers to dwell in harmony in spite of Brothers for Life SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy shortcomings. The proper attitude to take toward an erring Brother is one of tolerance, sympathy, and understanding. Even so, personal responsibility remains. Prospective Brothers to acquire high standards of manners and social conduct and to apply these principles in their daily lives. Personal Conduct. It scarcely need be repeated that PHI DELTA CHI expects its Prospective Brothers to conduct themselves in an honorable manner. Each Prospective Brother must adopt standards of Honor, Integrity, and Fair Play. Courtesy and consideration, the foundation of manners, should be primary principles of behavior. PHI DELTA CHI expects its Hazing. The Grand Council of Phi Delta Chi Fraternity reminds all Brothers that hazing will not be accepted under any circumstances. The Phi Delta Chi Fraternity defines hazing as any situation created or action taken which intentionally, on or off a college campus, produces physical or mental harm, public embarrassment or ridicule, or any activity on the part of Prospective or Initiated Brothers which may violate any local, state, or federal law, including Fraternity and college rules. Prospective Brothers have the right to refuse to cooperate with any act they believe to involve hazing. Summary. Remember, in all you do, that the greatest lesson to be learned in the journey to becoming a Brother is extinction of self for the good of all and obedience to the will of our Grand Fraternity.

Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute (PLEI): Phi Delta Chi’s 60th Grand Council (Memphis, 1995) authorized the Fraternity Executive Council to establish a not-for-profit foundation to advance the leadership, educational, and other benevolent missions of the Fraternity. This charge was fulfilled in the creation of the Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute, Inc. (PLEI), which held the inaugural meeting of its Board of Directors during APhA's 143rd Annual Meeting in Nashville, March 1996. The Institute helps fulfill the Fraternity’s charitable and educational goals, advancing the Fraternity’s mission of training pharmacy’s future leaders. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recognizes the Institute as a 501(c)(3) charitable entity. The PLEI coordinates the Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award, Leader Development Seminars, and other educational events for the Fraternity’s Brothers and other members of the pharmacy profession. The Institute is lead by a Board of Directors of distinguished Brothers and colleagues. The Grand President, Grand Past President, and Executive Director serve ex officio on the PLEI Board of Directors.

SM Leaders in Pharmacy Original Minutes from the Founding of Phi Chi Fraternity in 1883 Page 12 Brothers for Life SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Leaders in Pharmacy Historical Sketch of Phi Delta Chi The history of literary societies, honor societies, and Greek-letter organizations goes back hundreds of years. Establishment of Greek-letter societies in the United States began in 1776, when Phi Beta Kappa organized at the College of William and Mary at Williamsburg, Virginia, on December 5. Although established as a general fraternity, and as such expanded to Yale, Harvard, and Dartmouth, Phi Beta Kappa soon became a Scholarship Honor Fraternity, and it has maintained this purpose. Professional societies likewise existed many years ago, but the first Greek-letter societies appeared in the United States in the decade of 1875-85. It was in this period that our Fraternity, the first professional fraternity of pharmacy founded by pharmacy students, formed. On November 2, 1883, 11 men at the University of Michigan formed our Fraternity using the name Phi Chi. At that time, there were several literary societies at Michigan, but our founders believed something should be organized exclusively for the College of Pharmacy. Our early records note: "Both students and faculty recognized that such an organization would bring students of pharmacy together for the discussion of scientific questions pertaining to pharmacy and its sister sciences." The forward-looking young men who banded together in 1883 to form the association that grew into today's Phi Delta Chi are all deceased. But their names will long be remembered by every Phi Dex: Charles Edward Bond, Franklin Herbert Frazee, Llewellyn Hall Gardner, Calvin Pomeroy Godfrey, Adolph Gustave Hoffman, Arthur Gilliam Hopper, Charles F. Hueber, George Pawling Leamon, Arthur Sidney Rogers, Azor Thurston, and Albert Tenney Waggoner. These 11 men wrote this preamble to the original Constitution of the Fraternity: "Recognizing the necessity of, and the mutual benefits to be derived from an organization devoted to the sciences of pharmacy and chemistry, a careful investigation into, and a free discussion of subjects relative to the same; we do agree Brothers for Life to form an association and for its government to adopt the following Constitution and By-Laws...." Four years after the founding, in 1887, the society adopted a ritual, symbols, signs, and regalia. Then, in 1896, a second Chapter was organized at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The Chapter at Ann Arbor thus became known as Alpha Chapter and the Chapter at Evanston as Beta Chapter. The third Chapter, Gamma, started at New York College of Pharmacy (later Columbia University) in 1898. Albert Benjamin Prescott (18321905), then Dean of the College of Pharmacy at Michigan, encouraged the 11 founders to form our Fraternity. The founders named him our first honorary Brother and Prescott served as the group's sponsor. Dean Prescott's name is associated with the highest and finest traditions and awards of the Fraternity throughout the years. Prescott is acclaimed worldwide as an innovator in pharmaceutical education. He served as president of the American Pharmaceutical Association in 1900 and for a time assayed gold for the U.S. Mint. Originally, our Fraternity was called Phi Chi, recalling the words Pharmacy and Chemistry. At the second meeting of the society, a motion was made to change the name to Phi Delta Chi, but the motion failed. Meanwhile, two medical fraternities founded in 1889 and 1894 also took the name Phi Chi, perhaps evoking Physic and Chirurgery. Shortly after the start of the 20th century, these two medical fraternities merged into one, retaining the name Phi Chi. There was disagreement as to who had the right to the name, but members of the pharmacy group reconsidered the name Phi Delta Chi. By 1909, the Fraternity had grown to 14 Chapters. When they met in Grand Council at Chicago in March 1909, they proposed to change the name of the Fraternity to Phi Delta Chi, rather than pursue the disagreement with the medical fraternity. This change was ratified and took effect March 1, 1910, when Grand Council convened in New York City. The Communicator, our official publication, was first published in 1889. Originally, it was a chapter publication published in Ann Arbor. It took on a national role around 1906. Just before World War II, it was cut in size and published as Communicator Junior. Today, The Communicator is published several times a year, with supplements taking advantage of evolving electronic technology. Phi Delta Chi originally accepted for membership men in the fields of pharmacy and chemistry, the latter including those majoring in either chemistry or chemical engineering. During the Great Depression of 1928 to 1933, difficulties arose as the fraternity tried to serve two professions. Therefore, membership requirements were changed to include only persons majoring in the field of pharmacy. Thus Phi Delta Chi as we know it today was formed, a Professional Fraternity serving Pharmacy. Throughout the years it has been a matter of considerable pride to Phi Delta Chi's that the organization not only has been kept intact through wars and economic crises, but that Brothers always came forward to carry on the work of the organization and to expand it. Since our founding in 1883, Phi Delta Chi has chartered over 75 collegiate Chapters and has initiated more than 50,000 men and women into the Brotherhood. Phi Delta Chi recognizes in its membership many illustrious leaders over the years. Within the pharmaceutical manufacturing field such names as Lilly (Epsilon), Paddock (Theta), Eaton (Alpha), French (Epsilon), Breck (Eta), Rowell (Theta), Weeks (Psi), and Meyer (Alpha) are familiar. Phi Dex Brothers lead many other pharmaceutical corporations, associations, institutions, colleges, and other enterprises. Through the years, the Fraternity has met in Grand Council many times. These meetings are rotated through every region of the nation. Regional Conferences supplement the national gatherings. The greatest experiences of fraternalism occur when Brothers meet for these festive events. Page 13 SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Centennial celebrations in 1983 culminated with the dedication of a plaque at the University of Michigan School of Pharmacy commemorating Phi Delta Chi's first 100 years of accomplishments and the Fraternity's commitment to the future. Today, the Alpha Chapter hosts Brothers from around the nation every year around November 2, to celebrate the founding of Phi Delta Chi in 1883. The two decades between 1967 and 1988 saw only two new collegiate Chapters chartered. This is partially explained by resources (mainly time) spent fighting and then implementing the Federal Title IX requirement to admit women. Efforts by fraternity leaders to dissuade the U.S. Leaders in Pharmacy Congress from applying Title IX to professional fraternities failed in the summer of 1976. Phi Delta Chi amended its constitution, and Iota Chapter initiated six women in November 1976. Since the late 1980s, the pace of adding new Chapters accelerated. This expansion increased further with the rapid opening of new schools of pharmacy in the 1990s and 2000s. The Fraternity also saw its purpose invigorated as it explicitly adopted a mission to train individual Brothers in leadership skills, starting with the first Leader Development Seminar at the 57th Grand Council (Monterey, 1989). Thousands of Brothers have taken advantage of this opportunity since then. Phi Delta Chi's success results from more than 125 years of following the purpose originally advanced in 1883: "The object of this association shall be to advance the science of pharmacy and its allied interests and to foster and promote a fraternal spirit among its members." Note: For more information on Phi Delta Chi (including individual Chapter) history, see the book Phi Delta Chi: A Tradition of Leaders in Pharmacy, available for purchase from the National Office, which should be present in each Chapter's library. Charles F. Hueber (1862-1940) was a pharmacist for most of his life in Port Huron, Michigan. nose, and throat and was a prominent citizen of Saginaw, Michigan. Our Founders Phi Delta Chi’s founders have long since passed away, but these short notes begin to paint their portrait: Charles Edward Bond (1864-1949) spent most of his life in Maryland where he was a manufacturer, contractor, machine shop owner, and farmer. Franklin Herbert Frazee (1863-1931) was an official of the United Drug Company in Boston early in the 20th century. Llewellyn Hall Gardner (18??-1904) was with Frederick Sterns and Company in Detroit where he died after suffering from tuberculosis for 10 years. Calvin Pomeroy Godfrey (1863-1934) practiced pharmacy for 11 years, and then was a savings and loan company officer, an editor. He also held several public positions, including state representative. Adolph Gustave Hoffman (18??-1887) practiced pharmacy in Brooklyn, NY, Burlington, IA, and finally in Hot Springs, AR where he died only three years after graduation. Arthur Gilliam Hopper (1862-1912) was a pharmacist all his life in and around Alpena, Michigan. Page 14 George Pawling Leamon (18??-1894) became a physician in the Dakota Territory where he practiced until his early death. Arthur Sidney Rogers (1862-1932) became an outstanding specialist in eye, ear, Azor Thurston (1861-1922) followed pharmacy for most of his life, but also served as state chemist in Ohio as well as being in many business and civic enterprises in Grand Rapids, Ohio. Albert Tenney Waggoner (1860-1931) was connected with pharmacy all his life in, or near, Topeka, Kansas. Brothers for Life SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc.

Leaders in Pharmacy Leader-Development Seminars The curriculum for Phi Delta Chi’s Leader-Development Seminar (LDS) was initially developed by John Grabenstein (Beta Gamma). He calls it his proudest accomplishment as a Brother, after having served the Fraternity for 3 years as a Regional Officer and 20 years as a Grand Officer. LDS was first presented to the attendees at the 57th Grand Council (Monterey, 1989). Since then, thousands of Brothers have benefited from the program. Collaborating with our foundation, the Pharmacy Leadership and Education Institute, Phi Delta Chi offers the program during non-Grand Council years. 1989 1990 1991 1992 Monterey Chapel Hill Baltimore Chapel Hill 1994 1996 1998 2000 Chapel Hill Ann Arbor Ann Arbor Athens 2002 2004 2006 2008 Denver Kansas City Ann Arbor Austin 2010 2012 2014 2016 Madison __________ __________ __________ Grand Presidents 1900 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 1915 1921 1926 1931 1937 1941 1941 1947 Frank L.

Leaders in Pharmacy Phi Delta Chi National Awards The Dale W. Doerr Achievement Award Program Phi Delta Chi's Achievement Award Program is a noncompetitive program involving submission of several chapter reports. The Program promotes correspondence with the national office, encourages communication between Chapters, improves Chapters' relations with alumni Brothers, and provides a framework for Chapter operations. The extent of a Chapter’s involvement in the program indicates the efficiency and activity of the Chapter, as well as the responsibility that Brothers are willing to assume. First presented in 1956, Chapters are awarded engraved Loving Cups for achieving 100% in the Achievement Award Program. Efficiency Cups go to Chapters participating at the 90-99% level. Chapters scoring between 80 and 89% receive smaller Efficiency Cups. The Achievement Award Program was named in 1993 for Dale W. Doerr, past Grand President and Executive Director of Phi Delta Chi, and dean of pharmacy at Butler University, who conceived and implemented the program. Brothers for Life The Emory W Thurston Grand President's Award This award was established in 1974 through a generous gift from past Grant President Emory W. Thurston (Omicron). The Grand President's Award is given to the Chapter that 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 six specific reports included in the Achievement Award Program. Scores on each report count toward a Chapter's total score. The six reports are weighed as follows: Professional & Service Projects Report - 30% (15% for each semester’s report); Chapter Publication - 20%; Prescott Scholarship Report - 15%; Brotherhood Report - 10%; Leadership Report - 15%, and Professional Window Display - 10%. The Chapter with the highest score receives the Thurston Cup. The Ralph L. Saroyan Brotherhood Award & The Desmet Scholarship The Brotherhood Award is presented annually to the Chapter whose concept of Brotherhood is best expressed by a member of a recent pledge class. Each member of the Chapter's pledge class writes a paper conveying a personal definition of Brotherhood based on interaction with the Brothers of the home Chapter. The Chapter then selects the best paper presented by its Pledges and submits it. A national committee of distinguished Fraternal Elders, including past Grand Presidents, judges the submissions. The winning report carries with it recognition of the individual Brothers as well as the Chapter. Because of his strong feeling for the Brotherhood, alumni Brother Paul Desmet (Alpha Eta) established the award in memory of his father (Joseph B. Desmet) and his grandmother (Irma B. Desmet). The 51st Grand Council gratefully accepted this benevolent gift Brother Desmet's grandmother had a very long enduring respect for the value of books and education. The winning Chapter is given a cash award to be applied to educational materials. 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 to the 2010s. Page 23 SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Professional & Service Projects Award The most important aspect of the Fraternity is the involvement of each Chapter in community, school, and professional service activities. Accordingly, to stimulate and reward chapter service and professional activity, two reports are required each year. First presented in 1977, a trophy is given to the Chapter obtaining the highest score. The reports are judged using these criteria: professional nature, number of people served, number of Brothers participating, and time and effort involved in promoting and carrying the project to completion. The 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”SM through its Leadership Report. The report indicates individual and collective accomplishments that demon- Page 24 Leaders in Pharmacy strate 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. The award honors past Grand President John D Grabenstein (Beta Gamma) since 2005. Grabenstein served as a Grand Officer for 20 years, including 10 years as Grand Editor or Grand VP for Communications. He spearheaded pharmacy’s involvement with immunizations in 1996. He served 27 years in the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps, attaining the rank of Colonel. 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 dispensed from a Fraternity fund contributed by our alumni Brothers in memory of our beloved Brother Hollenback (Xi), who unselfishly served Phi Delta Chi for over 40 years (a Grand Officer from 1923 to 1965). The income from the fund provides monetary scholarships to the Chapters submitting the three highest rated Prescott Scholarship Reports. Professional Window Display Award The Prescott Scholarship Cup & The Rand P Hollenback Scholarships First presented in 1923, the Prescott Scholarship Cup is awarded to the Chapter whose scholarship report indicates individual and collective scholastic achievement, as well as innovative activities by the Chapter to promote scholarship and increase scholastic standing among the Brothers. 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 Phi Delta Chi Chapters are encouraged to participate in designing and building a window display to alert the public to the importance of the role of pharmacy in the delivery of health care. Photographs and a written statement about the display are prepared by the Chapters and are judged using these criteria: value of the message to the public, originality, professional character, arrangement, neatness, and effort and work involved. Our second oldest award, it was first presented in 1936, aligned with National Pharmacy Week observances promoted by the American Pharmaceutical (now Pharmacists) Association. Brothers for Life SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. Chapter Publication Award & The Norman H. Franke Scholarships Chapters prepare at least one publication each year to keep the Grand Officers, alumni Brothers, and other Chapters informed of activities and progress. The publications are evaluated and rated according to these criteria: content (ie, history and progress of chapter activities), alumni projection, 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. Chapter Advisor Award The Chapter Advisor Award, first presented in 1996, recognizes the preeminent contributions by a faculty advisor to a collegiate Chapter. The advisor plays a pivotal role in guiding but not overwhelming the collegiate Brothers, as they grow individually and collectively in organizational skills, leadership ability, and personal competence. Outstanding Alumni Chapter Award Brothers for Life Leaders in Pharmacy 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. emerge as a major leader in pharmacy over the course of his or her career. It is important to note that the Prescott Leadership Award is open to anyone in the profession of pharmacy and is not limited to Brothers of Phi Delta Chi. Albert B. Prescott was a maverick in the late 1800s because of his advocacy for an academic basis for pharmaceutical education. Founder and Dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan, Prescott nurtured his idea for nearly 25 years before the rest of the profession caught up with him. This chemist, educator, and leader of pharmacists helped found Phi Delta Chi at the University of Michigan in 1883. The Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Leadership & Education Institute (PLEI) and several prior recipients select the recipient of the Prescott Leadership Award. The Award is presented annually during the APhA Annual Meeting, at which time the recipient delivers a scholarly lecture on issues such as pharmacy as a profession, leadership, or future trends in pharmacy practice or education. The winner receives a framed print of Albert B. Prescott with his students. The award originated with a generous contribution from Glaxo Inc, now doing business as GlaxoSmithKline. Albert B. Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award The Albert B Prescott Pharmacy Leadership Award, first presented in 1987, is given annually to a young pharmacist no more than 10 years into his or her career.

Leaders in Pharmacy Other Greek-Letter Organizations of Pharmacy Brothers of Phi Delta Chi may not join other pharmacy fraternities, except on an honorary basis. Brothers of Phi Delta Chi are encouraged to qualify for and join honorary societies, such as Rho Chi or Phi Lambda Sigma. Rho Chi (ΡΧ) 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. 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 In 1980, it reached the milestone of having a chapter at every accredited school of pharmacy in the country. Members of Phi Delta Chi's Alpha Chapter were instrumental in founding Rho Chi in 1922 at the University of Michigan, where the members first called themselves the Aristolochites. 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. Phi Lambda Sigma (ΦΛΣ) Phi Lambda Sigma, the Pharmacy Leadership Society, started at Auburn University in 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. The purpose of Phi Lambda Sigma is to recognize people in pharmacy who attained a high standard of leadership by contributing time and effort toward the advancement of pharmacy. Phi Lambda Sigma’s publication is The Laurel. Their colors are green and gold. Brothers for Life Alpha Zeta Omega (ΑΖΩ) Initiated membership of >11,000 with >42 collegiate charters since founding. Colors: Blue & white. Publication: The Azoan. 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. Kappa Epsilon (ΚΕ) Initiated membership of 20,000 with 50 collegiate charters. Colors: Red and white. Flower: Red rose. Motto: Cogito Ergo Sum, “I think, therefore I am." Publication: The Bond. 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 of Kappa Epsilon 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 (ΚΨ) Initiated membership of 45,000 with 75 collegiate charters. Colors: Scarlet red & cadet grey. Flower: Red carnation. Motto: "All for one and one for all." Publication: The Mask. Kappa Psi Fraternity was founded on May 29, 1879, at the Russell Military Academy in New Haven, Connecticut.

Kappa Psi’s first pharma- cy 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. Lambda Kappa Sigma (ΛΚΣ) Initiated membership of 22,000 with 44 collegiate charters. Colors: Old gold & Columbia blue. Flower: Yellow chrysanthemum. Motto: Esse Quam Videri, "To be, rather than to seem to be." Publication: The Blue and Gold Triangle. 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 charter members. In 1956, Lambda Kappa Sigma became international with the chartering of Alpha Lambda Chapter at Vancouver, BC, Canada. The purpose of Lambda Kappa Sigma 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.

Leaders in Pharmacy Chapter Standards of Phi Delta Chi The Chapter Standards for Phi Delta Chi provide each Chapter with a common basis of comparison, 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 its 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. Standard A: Chapter Image & Efficiency The Chapter projects an image consistent with the unity and professional nature of Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity. Image relates to the Chapter's college and community through service activities and professional projects. Chapter operations and activities are communicated and enhanced through a dialogue with alumni Brothers, other Chapters, and the National Office through chapter publications, the Achievement Award Program, and attendance at Fraternity meetings. Completion of 100% of the items in the Achievement Award Program (eg, attendance at Regional Conferences and Grand Councils) is considered a minimum Standard. Standard B: Chapter Focus & Organization The Chapter has 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. Standard C: Membership The Chapter has sufficient members with appropriate leadership skills to carry out activities expected of Phi Delta Chi Chapters. Implicit is the need for sound membership recruitment (rush) and membership-development (fraternal education) activities. Standard D: Scholastics The Chapter enhances and recognizes scholastic achievement by its Brothers from initial fraternal education through graduation. This may include academic support (tutoring, study groups), financial support, and scholastic recognitions. knowledgeable about the Ritual, and the Chapter Officers are conversant with their parts of the Ritual. The collegiate Chapter preserves local history using an archive or other means to help catalog and account for historical documents. The archives are stored in such a way as to minimize damage and theft. Standard F: Finance The Chapter has sufficient monies to meet its goals and objectives and a system for assuring financial solvency and accountability. Using member assessments (dues and initiation fees) and supplementary fund-raising projects, the Chapter is able to meet its operating expenses, including national assessments (initiation fees, National Operating Dues). The Worthy Keeper of Finance chairs the Finance and Budget Committee, with the Chapter Advisor as a committee member. Standard G: Risk Management The Collegiate Chapter and its Alumni Chapter abide by the current Risk Management Policy as defined by the Grand Council. Each Collegiate and Prospective Brother and any affiliated group shall be instructed annually on the Risk Management Policy. [See also later section.] Standard H: Faculty The Chapter maintains good communications with 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 are selected to provide regular advice on Chapter policies and activities. The Chapter invites appropriate non-Phi Delta Chi faculty to become Graduate or Honorary Brothers. Standard I: Alumni The Chapter, through the Worthy Alumni Liaison, maintains good communications with its Alumni and its Alumni Chapter (where one exists). Chapter Alumni are notified of chapter activities through mailings of newsletters and chapter publications. Standard E: Ritual & History The Chapter conducts initiation and monthly formal meetings in accordance with the Ritual of Phi Delta Chi. All Brothers are Brothers for Life Page 31 Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. SM Leaders in Pharmacy PHI DELTA CHI PHARMACY FRATERNITY Policy 58-2-5: Risk Management In 1987, the Fraternity Insurance Purchasing Group (FIPG) was created due to the inability of national social fraternities to obtain adequate liability insurance. At that time, insurance carriers were canceling the insurance policies of major fraternities because, as they put it, "fraternities are ranked as the sixth greatest risk, right behind nuclear waste." In response to this serious dilemma, 22 national fraternities formed FIPG in an effort to obtain affordable liability insurance for their chapters. The insurance carriers and their attorneys advised these national fraternity leaders that, to be insurable, they must develop a set of enforceable risk management policies covering Alcohol and Drugs; Hazing; Sexual Abuse; and Fire, Health, and Safety; and an educational program to support the policy. Based upon this advice, FIPG redirected its efforts toward the development of such a policy that would be acceptable to major insurance carriers. Since the initial inception of FIPG, 43 national fraternities have adopted FIPG or similar policies. On December 3, 1990, the National lnterfraternity Conference adopted the FIPG policy as a national standard. This action established the FIPG Risk Management Policy as the "norm" for all fraternities nationwide. This would imply that fraternities that do not have similar risk management policies are in a position of extremely high risk for their officers, brothers, and host institutions. During 1989-91, three Phi Delta Chi Chapters were either sanctioned by their Universities or involved in court cases incurring costs as high as $18,000 per Chapter. In each case, the action of the Chapter was in direct violation of one or more FIPG policies. Because of this and other obvious legal ramifications, Phi Delta Chi Fraternity moved to protect the financial assets of the Fraternity by adopting a uniform Risk Management Policy at the 58th Grand Council (Baltimore, 1991). 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 in compliance with any and all applicable laws of the state, province, county, city and university. 2. No alcoholic beverages may be purchased through the chapter treasury, nor may the purchase of the same for members or guests be undertaken or coordinated by any Brother in the name of or on behalf of the Chapter during an official fraternity function except under conditions that a licensed bartender be retained who assumes liability for dispensing alcoholic beverages, and university approval has been obtained for the event. The purchase and/or use of a bulk quantity of such alcoholic beverages, i.e., kegs, is prohibited. 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. The possession, sale and/or use of any ILLEGAL DRUGS or CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES at any Chapter House, sponsored event or at any event that an observer would associate with the Fraternity, is strictly prohibited. 5. No Chapter may cosponsor an event with an alcohol distributor, charitable organization or tavern where alcohol is given away, sold or otherwise provided to those present unless the conditions stated in items #2 and #8 are satisfied. 6. No Chapter may cosponsor 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 rush activities associated with any Chapter will be a DRY rush function. 8.

SM Leaders in Pharmacy Summary of Parliamentary Procedure Parliamentary law is an efficient structure within which the business of an organization is conducted, balancing the rights of each member along with those of the assembly. Use these procedures to promote equality, and not as a weapon against those unfamiliar with them. An officer presides over the Chapter assembled with impartiality. To be useful, each meeting needs an "agenda" or "order of business" (see Chapter III of our Bylaws). To set policy and take actions, members introduce, discuss, pass, 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..." WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? A. INTRODUCE BUSINESS "I move to <adopt or some other verb> ..." or "I move that ..." Main motion or question. Requires a second, is debatable, amendable, requires a majority vote. All other motions hold over it. B. BRING TO A VOTE "I call the question to a vote." or "I call the previous question." Would end discussion and call for a vote. Requires a second, is not debatable, not amendable, and requires a 2/3 majority vote. C. AMEND "I move to amend the motion by <describe what would change>..." This proposes a change or modification to a motion. Requires a second, is debatable, is amendable, and requires a majority vote. If friendly amendments" cannot be quickly agreed to, handle them in the classical fashion. D. WITHDRAW A MOTION "I withdraw my motion." Prevents the matter from coming to a vote. Needs NO second, is not debatable, not amendable, and requires a majority vote. However, before the chair states a motion, it may be withdrawn or modified by the maker without the consent of the Chapter. E. DISPENSE WITH A MOTION Several ways to kill a motion (stop action): 1. Table. Requires a second, is not debatable, not amendable, and requires a majority vote. "I move to table this motion." 2. Postpone to a specific time or indefinitely. Requires second, debatable only as to priority, amendable as to time, majority vote. 3. Object to consideration. Needs NO second, is not debatable, not amendable, and requires a two-thirds majority vote. 4. Commit. Refers motion to committee for study and report. Requires second, is debatable as to priority, is amendable, and requires a majority vote. "I move to refer this issue to the ___ Committee to develop a set of recommendations for us." F. SUSPEND THE RULES "I move to suspend the rules to allow ..." Suspends agenda. Cannot change Constitution or Bylaws. Requires second, not debatable, not amendable, requires 2/3 majority. G. NOMINATING AND VOTING 1. Nominations do NOT require a second. Accept all nominations. Do not vote to close nominations. 2. Voting: Votes may be changed until the results are announced. If the vote results in a tie, the motion loses. The chair may cast a vote to break a tie. The chair always votes when voting by ballot. a. Voice vote: Yeas and nays (This is the usual method of voting, unless a motion is passed to use an alternative method.) b. Request for roll call: Requires a second, not debatable, requires a majority vote. "I move to conduct the vote by roll call." c. Ballot (secret vote): Requires a second, is not debatable, and requires a majority vote. "I move to vote by secret ballot." d. General or unanimous consent (used only when approval of the action is a matter of mere formality): Member: "I ask general consent to a vote of thanks to Brother Jones for his outstanding work on the blood drive." Chair: "General consent is asked for a vote of thanks to Brother Jones. Is there any objection? Hearing none {if none is made}, it is so ordered." If an objection is made, then there must be a second, debate, and vote. H. REVERSE PRIOR ACTION (assumes the action resulting from the prior motion can be reversed or has not yet been taken): 1. Reconsider: Requires a second, is debatable, not amendable, and requires a majority vote. May be made only by a member voting on the prevailing side. Must be made on the same day or on the next calendar day. 2. Rescind: Requires a second, debatable, amendable. If previous notice given, majority vote required; if not, 2/3 majority needed. I. APPEAL To object to decision made by the chair and ask assembly to overturn it. Second required, debatable, amendable, majority vote. QUESTIONS OF PRIVILEGE: These deal with matters that cannot wait. No second, not debatable, not amendable, majority vote. TWO-THIRDS VOTE REQUIRED: Object to consideration / Suspend rules / Take up agenda item out of order / Bring previous question to vote / Close nominations.

Fraternal Education Trainer’s Guide Every Chapter needs to attract, educate, and retain action-oriented Brothers. Fraternal education is the process to instill in new members the esprit de corps needed to sustain a successful organization. Personal contact with Prospective Brothers and deep-seated teamwork are essential. Do not kid yourself; there are no substitutes for these two cornerstones. Be ready to share your dreams with these new people and teach them how to keep the fire going. If you are committed to the Fraternity, you literally stake the future on them. The Fraternal Education Trainer (often the Worthy Master at Arms, assisted by the Worthy Inner Guard) is entrusted with the education and development of a very precious commodity. Evoking talent and leadership from those seeking admission into our Fraternity is a challenging and satisfying job. Purposes of Fraternal Education Trainer’s Guide 1. To set a standard for training about the Fraternity to those seeking membership as Brothers. 2. To assure a uniform knowledge base about the Fraternity and its history. 3. To offer examples of reasonable challenges and purposeful sacrifices to pose to Prospective Brothers, to identify commitment in becoming a Brother and contributing to the Fraternity after Initiation. 4. To offer examples for how to develop the organizational talents of Prospective Brothers. Individual chapter programs for fraternal education will vary slightly. But this national standard will guide individual programs. This curriculum is a minimum standard for Phi Delta Chi Chap- Brothers for Life Leaders in Pharmacy ters nationally and for each person who seeks entry to our Brotherhood. Steps for Conducting a Fraternal Education Program: 1. Establish a timetable for the educational period. Set a date for initiation before beginning the Fraternal Education Program. Some schools may set a specific schedule and length of time for the educational period. Ask your college’s director of student affairs for details. In general, your Fraternal Education Program should last 4 to 6 weeks. The shorter the program, the more content must be covered per week. Fraternal education schedules should be relatively consistent from semester to semester. 2. Assign a Big Brother to each Prospective Brother at the beginning of the program. Chapters will carefully match these pairs, with the Big Brothers fully understanding the importance and responsibility of their roles as guides, ombudsmen, and mentors to the Prospective Brothers. 3. Establish regular meeting times (e.g., 3 to 5 times per week) for the Prospective Brothers. Set the times and dates for all meetings at the beginning of the educational period. 4. Divide the information the Prospective Brothers will learn into segments. Quiz them on assigned information at each meeting. Establish a minimum passing grade. 5. Make a list of all activities and projects expected of the Prospective Brothers during the Fraternal Education Program. Assign approximate or specific dates for each. Tips & Suggestions The Prospective Brothers should plan and organize one professional project, one social project, and one fund-raising project to provide financial resources for the other two functions. This will teach skills needed as an Initiated Brother. The scope and complexity of these projects will depend on the length of the Fraternal Education Program, the number of Prospective Brothers, and time considerations. If it is unreasonable for the Prospective Brothers to accomplish any of these three projects before Initiation, the Prospective Brothers should instead be required to participate in at least one professional, social, and fund-raising project conducted by the collegiate Chapter. As much as possible, have the Prospective Brothers help establish meeting times and project due dates, to minimize conflicts with their academic schedules. Once the schedule is set, follow it. Changing meeting times and due dates can cause confusion and frustration, especially for large cohorts of Prospective Brothers. Incorporate ample “study time” into the Fraternal Education Program. After all, our first priority is to help the Prospective Brothers succeed in pharmacy school. Specifically designating certain hours as study time emphasizes to the Prospective Brothers the Chapter’s commitment to academic excellence. Hold Prospective Brothers to the standard of maintaining or improving their academic performance. Enter into all projects as a team, to develop camaraderie. Set tasks that model responsibilities Prospective Brothers will perform after Initiation. Challenge them to prove they will work hard to be assets to the Chapter and the Fraternity. • Fund-raising Project: To provide financial resources to support professional and social projects. • Professional Project: To develop their identity in Pharmacy and to develop their sense of responsibility to ad- Page 47 SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc. vance the public health. • Social Project: To meet the Brothers and encourage fraternal communication. • Alumni Project: To appreciate the responsibility for continuing involvement with the Fraternity, even after graduation. Keep alert for problems (e.g., difficulties with the program, interpersonal conflicts between Prospective Brothers or between an Initiated and a Prospective Brother) and address them as soon as recognized. If you are unsure how to deal with a problem or conflict, consult with the WCC or Chapter Advisor. Be careful not to allow an adversarial relationship to develop between us (the Initiated Brothers) and them (the Prospective Brothers). Such artificial barriers can persist after Initiation to the detriment of the Chapter. Leaders in Pharmacy that others have gone through this and that the reward of Brotherhood is worth the effort expended. 4. Trust Builder: This may be the most important role the Big Brother plays, especially during Initiation. The Big Brother is in a unique position to develop in the Prospective Brother the feeling of trust in the Fraternity and its Brothers. With this trust, the Prospective Brother can face Initiation without fear, knowing that its purpose is to teach and welcome, not harm or humiliate. The Big Brother guides the Prospective Brother between Initiation Stations in a manner indicative of trust (e.g., arm around shoulders). Problem Solving Through Fraternal Education: Keep a clear line of communication open between the Trainer and the Prospective Brothers regarding expectations, responsibilities, and progress. Have Prospective Brothers added to the Chapter’s e-mail listserv early in the Fraternal Education Program. Develop methods of transferring written messages to and from the Brothers. Many times the problems a Chapter confronts can be solved through several semesters of a solid Fraternal Education Program. For example, if there is a problem with Brothers joining Phi Delta Chi and then not participating or “pulling their weight,” then the Fraternal Education Program can be adjusted to emphasize the significance of the commitment to the Fraternity, and that as a Brother you are expected to contribute (Each Needs the Help of the Other). Important Roles of the Big Brother Planning Ahead for Initiation 1. Role Model: Like an older sibling, the Big Brother teaches the Prospective Brother how to function in this new “family” or “community.” 2. Educator: The Big Brother helps teach material that the Prospective Brother must learn concerning fraternity history and chapter operations. 3. Moral Supporter: When times are tough and the Prospective Brother seems overwhelmed, the Big Brother provides moral support, reassuring Make a list ahead of time of supplies needed for Initiation (see page 48 of the Ritual Book), and then bring them all to the Initiation site. Page 48 Plan ahead of time which Brother will take which role. Make sure those Brothers rehearse their role so they sound natural and professional. THE OFFICIAL RITUAL MUST BE PRESENTED AS PRINTED. NOTH- ING MAY BE ADDED OR TAKEN AWAY FROM ITS PRINTED FORM. Make sure those in charge of Initiation arrive ahead of time to set things up. That way the event can start on time and proceed smoothly. Remind all involved of the respect and professionalism due to Prospective Brothers Explain to Prospective Brothers in general terms what will happen during the ceremony, sharing with them the history and significance of Initiation. Assure them that they will be safe and encourage them to speak up if they are uncomfortable. Have a meaningful event. Use the time after Initiation for the new Brothers and the previously Initiated Brothers to bond and discuss the transition they just went through. Role of the Ritual: The one element of Phi Delta Chi that truly unites all Brothers across the country is the Phi Delta Chi Ritual. Ritual is, very tangibly, our common bond of Fraternalism. Who else knows our password, our whistle, and our sacred passages? Design your initiation ceremony in a way that Brothers and pledges are prepared to listen carefully to the rich significance of the Ritual, especially pages 56-62. The Fraternal Education Trainer (often the Worthy Master at Arms, assisted by the Worthy Inner Guard) and the WCC are responsible for any problems or issues that arise during Initiation. All students leave college eventually, so each Chapter needs a constant infusion of new Brothers to maintain life. If our Founding Fathers had not attracted followers, we would be wearing somebody else’s letters today. Brothers for Life SM Phi Delta Chi Pharmacy Fraternity, Inc.
