Alumni News - 2001
Updated 12/24/2001
Dear Brothers,
At this time last year, I am certain neither of us could have
ever conjured the horror and aftermath of September 11, 2001...
Did you know the Lambda Chi Alpha family lost eight brothers to
the attacks?
We mourn and honor these lost brothers, but give thanks for the
thirty brothers who survived the attacks. You can find all their
stories on our web site at www.lambdachi.org/tragedy.asp
And while nothing compares to the blessing of those brothers
surviving the attacks, we do have a number of other blessings for
which to be grateful.
This fall we established new colonies at University of Iowa, Cal
State Northridge, University of California Davis, and Marietta
College. Final planning of four spring colonization's will be
complete in two weeks.
The Fraternity just completed its largest, most comprehensive
strategic planning retreat ever, with input from thousands...including
alumni, students, parents, and university presidents.
Seventy-five Lambda Chis returned to campuses this fall with
academic scholarships from our Foundation. Hundreds more will
receive leadership training this February at six Regional
Leadership Conferences.
The first weekend in November, thousands of undergraduates raised
millions of pounds of much needed food for their communities in
Lambda Chi Alpha's North American Food Drive.
Again we are enjoying a strong increase in new members. Hundreds
of young men will be going back home for the first time at
Christmas full of the gifts of Fraternity...a campus home, new
lifelong friendships, and the confidence that comes with
belonging to a 92-year-old brotherhood of more than 240,000 men.
Finally, we give thanks for you. We stride confidently forward,
knowing you are by our side. We give thanks for your support and
fellowship, and wish you a peaceful holiday season.
Sincerely yours in ZAX,
Thomas A. Helmbock
Executive Vice President

Dear Valued & Cherished Alumni Brothers of Kappa-Omega,
I hope that this finds you well, and I most-assuredly hope that
you and yours have a most wonderful and blessed holiday season.
Although in the past, I have tried to use our LCA Alumni-Email
Distribution List to contact you - this has proven to be slightly
unsatisfactory - as it is always changing, oft-times has many
inconsistencies/inaccuracies and does not reach many of you. To
this end, I am asking Mr. Lenahan to post this holiday greeting
on his fabulous KOZLCA web - and hope that at some juncture you
are able to peruse my ever-rambling thoughts.
At the outset, I would like to give a quick synopsis of the
extraordinarily fine work of the active Brothers this fall. They
continue to distinguish themselves and Kappa-Omega in numerous
ways - and their efforts this semester have included, but are not
limited to.....
Creation/Presentation of the new William A. Beams Leadership/Service
Scholarship
Watermelon Bust Philanthropic Project
North America Food Drive Philanthropic Project [exceeded last
year's total by over 4000 pounds]
Homecoming 2001 Events including the Festival of Song, Alumni
Reception, Barbecue
Operation Torch - Philanthropic Project
Great Hawaiian, Informational and other sanctioned "House
Parties"
Fine Efforts for/towards ensuring a very successful Associate
Class
Date Auction - Philanthropic Project
Completion of the new Alumni Directory
New Faculty/Staff Appreciation Day
Great and Ongoing Weekly Devos
A superb visit with the ELC from "HQ" utilizing the new
"strategic planning" rubric
Creation/Implementation of the new "Standards Board"
Yes, Michael, the entire K-O Leadership Team and all of the
Brothers have been very busy, and my personal pride in them
remains boundless.
Again, I wish you all the very best during this coming holiday
season. Please remember, as I have said many times previously,
although many miles and/or years might separate us - Kappa-Omega
works very hard to remain a focal point of pride for our Active
Brothers, our International Fraternity, Greek Life at Georgetown
College and You, our cherished and valued Alumni Brothers.
I would like to close with the great words of Christina Rossetti.....
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas, stars and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead, Love incarnate, Love divine;
Worship we our Jesus, but wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token, love be yours and love be mine;
Love to God and all men, love for plea and gift and sign
Most Warmly,
Pete LaRue
High Pi & Chancellor

Just thought I would send you a line so you could add me to the
members listing on the webpage. The site looks great and the
flash intro is very well done. Went to Georgetown's game with
Campbellsville this Thanksgiving weekend and took a notion to re-familiarize
myself with the alma mater via the web. It's been about 20 years
now, but I never took much satisfaction in looking back before.
Just to give you the shorthand version, after graduate school at
UK, I went to work as a newspaper reporter in my hometown:
Harlan, KY. After five years there I was recruited to join the
Appalachian Regional Healthcare system and work in public
relations at their Harlan facility, which is where I remain. My
wife, Eva, and I have been married 14 years this coming March. We
have three children: daughter Courtney is 11, son Jeremy is 9,
and son John is 4.
Don't go through Georgetown any more. Have passed by a few times.
The campus looks in good shape and the new library is most
impressive (at least from the outside!) but it's just not the
same without Ralph Curry striding broadly across its paved walks
with his hat precariously tilted on his head and his cane dashing
back and forth like a conductor's baton. Change doesn't
necessarily equal loss, but it often seems so.
May God bless and my best always to you.
Sincerely,
Mark Bell, KOZ875

Dearest Alumni & Active Brothers of the Kappa-Omega Zeta of
Lambda Chi Alpha at Georgetown College,
What a Grrr...Great Homecoming 2001 it was at Georgetown College.
As I said in my brief, rambling remarks at the Curry House
yesterday morning, I was humbled by the extraordinary turnout of
you Alumni Brothers - who made sacrifices to be with us on this
special day, and I am beholden to each of you for the great and
proud legacy of Kappa-Omega with which you have entrusted the
Active Brothers and I.
For those of you Alumni Brothers - who were unable to attend -
please know - we felt and sensed your presence although perhaps
many miles separated us. We were blessed with the most amazingly
fine weather, an unusually large turnout of Alumni and also the
very special presence - of a very special lady, "Ma Ewing"
- as we celebrated the past and present of our Kappa-Omega Zeta.
These are great days for Lambda Chi Alpha at Georgetown College
as we remain the very focal point of excellence for the fraternal
system. We need to not mention our 4.0 gents, the outstanding
philanthropic work for which the Brothers are well-known, the
deep commitment to God and Country for which Kappa-Omega has
always been an exemplar - these are a given - but a given that
needs constant care and vigilance. Many across campus, and
perhaps even many of you - know that the success of fraternal
organizations tends to be cyclic - and are waiting for Kappa-Omega
to diminish. Please know, and I say this with some great degree
of certitude, that if there was a "downward trend" it
was about two years ago - when perhaps we became a bit complacent
- a bit lethargic - perhaps enjoyed too much "success"
at the expense of the very "spirit" of the Cross and
Crescent. Was it obvious then - not so much - but during the past
two years - and because of the unprecedented efforts of many
Brothers and our K-O Leadership Teams, we have had to scale back
a bit and re-double our efforts - to lay the strategic groundwork
for our Kappa-Omega Zeta as we move into the 21st century. You
might see some "tangibles" these days that could
perhaps - mistakenly be misconstrued as a "slide" - but
please know - the all-important "intangibles" are at an
all-time high in my now several years of experience with K-O, and
it is this essence and spirit - which will ensure a great
flowering of our Kappa-Omega Zeta for the years to come. As I
said yesterday, come down to the Curry House - and see and sense
the Brothers of today at work - be it on the great Landscaping
project, the new Scholarship offerings, the new Philanthropic
programs, the revitalized Devos, the extreme commitment to
Recruiting gents of excellence - to name but a few things - and
you will know of what I speak [and if you were unable to see the
Brothers at SongFest - you missed a real treat - more than
hilarious - more than excellent - and more than meaningfully - it
truly harkened back to yesteryear - and that for which K-O is so
well-known - in my nine years now of attending SongFest - I have
never seen a finer offering from the troops].
As always, we need your help, we need your support and we need
your prayers. Due to the excellent and ongoing work of Mr. Beams
and Mark Lenahan - never before have we had such strong relations
with the Alumni Brothers, and please know that each Active
Brother and I cherish you, your commitment and your memories.
Please know, we shall work to continue this trend of enhanced
relations with all of you.
Well, this has rambled on quite long enough. But as I stood on
the steps of the Chapel Friday evening before SongFest and looked
up - I saw a beautiful crescent moon over our campus. To me the
crescent moon [which is omni-present during our most-cherished of
times, that of "Ritual"] now and forever will make me
think of Lambda Chi Alpha, the Brothers of Kappa-Omega Zeta, and
these very, very special times which we are honored and blessed
to have. Please know I consider it not a duty - but a true
privilege and pleasure to serve our Kappa-Omega Zeta. I shall
close now - with words I oft-times use. Thanks for all and
everything.
Thessalonians 5, 14-18
"And we exhort you brethren, admonish the idle, encourage
the faint-hearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See
that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good
to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray constantly, give
thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in
Christ Jesus for you."
Most Warmly,
Peter LaRue

Brother Lenahan,
Thank you. We have been overwhelmed with responses from brothers
all over the globe with stories of sadness and of miracles-each
with strong undertones of brotherly love. As promised in a
previous e-mail, we wanted to share the status of all our
brothers. In that light, we've set up a special Lambda Chi Alpha
September 11, 2001, Memorial Web site dedicated to all those
directly impacted by the September 11 tragedies. This list is a
"work in progress" because we will continually update
and make corrections as we continue to receive information about
brothers who were affected. You may find the Memorial page by

I would like to ask the Brothers to remember two of my fellow
employees' families (from XonTech). They were out of our DC
office and were on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. This
has been confirmed; their names were Leonard Taylor and John
Sammartino. I did not know them personally; however, our company
is not that large (less than 500 people) and it just really hits
home to us.

Brothers,
There are no words for the events of today. Our prayers are for
all of the families directly impacted by this tragedy and for our
leaders and the decisions they must now make.
In the days and weeks ahead, please let us know of any brother,
or member of a brother's family, who was lost or injured as a
result of these cowardly attacks. Send information to Rob
Griffiths at rgriffiths@lambdachi.org
and we will update you in the future on occurrences.

Dear Alumni,
In shortly over one month, the active chapter of Kappa-Omega Zeta
will be returning to begin the 2001-2002 academic year. Thanks to
the outstanding efforts of the 2000-2001 High Zeta led by Mr.
Kevin Brown and Peter LaRue, the chapter is poised in
anticipation of the coming year's achievements and new ventures.
This year's active chapter holds opportunities that few before it
have ever held. The chapter is in such a refined state that we
are able to explore possibilities once considered unattainable.
However, great potential brings with it great responsibility. In
times of bountiful potential, one must be mindful to invest his
resources wisely. I constantly pray that the decision being made
now and the ones in the near future will do nothing but further
the advancement of Lambda Chi Alpha.
For this reason much is being done and discussed to ensure that
the 2002 Spring Rush will be the most successful recruitment ever.
Thanks to the approval of the Executive Committee Dr. LaRue,
Brian Mattingly, and myself have overseen the creation and
circulation of the William Anthony Beams Scholarship for
Leadership and Service. The College has graciously allowed us to
obtain the names of the 168 incoming freshmen male students.
Currently, our High Delta, Mr. Brian Mattingly, is working on
distributing applications to each of these individuals. This
scholarship, in the amount of $250 dollars will be funded by the
active brothers in the hopes that the ideals of Kappa-Omega will
be overwhelmingly known. We at Kappa-Omega are determined to take
the vast majority of all quality male students partaking in
Spring Rush. In is our responsibility to ensure that the legacy
of Kappa-Omega is preserved by those who are worthy of such an
honor. And speaking for the High Zeta, we commit to you that we
will not fail in this endeavor. We are determined; and we will
succeed.
Another very important item on our 2001-2002 agenda is to ensure
that each of you are as informed and involved as possible. In
case you are unaware, the active brotherhood cares tremendously
about our alumni relations and is hopeful that this year will
only strengthen the bond of our brotherhood. Your lives are
permanently a part of each of us, for we realize that we would
not be part of such an incredible brotherhood had it not been for
each of you. You have entrusted us with the Legacy of Kappa-Omega,
and we want you to be as involved and as passionate as ever.
Also planned is an upgrade on our philanthropic endeavors .
Although we provide more services for the Georgetown and
surrounding communities than any other fraternity on campus, we
are ready to do more. Our High Beta, Mr. Martin Rains, possesses
some of the most innovative and organizational skills of any I
have seen. The active chapter is very passionate and concerned
about our role in the community and is ready to give more than we
have ever given. We are determined to increase community
involvement and exceed our past totals in participation and
financial donations.
And there is so much more. These are only a small portion of the
many activities underway at Kappa-Omega. Currently, we need your
help on a project scheduled to begin prior to the start of Fall
classes. Our chapter is worried about the state of the outside of
our house. For quite sometime the outside of the house has been
in need of repair and landscaping. We are concerned that the
outside of our house, the first impression for many potential
members, is not competing well with the other fraternities on
campus. It is our hope that enough funds will be raised to
improve its condition and provide a very welcoming atmosphere to
guests of our house. If enough funds are raised, we may even be
able to have the outside professionally sculpted by a local
landscape architect that would include a permanent sign
advertising our letters and chapter designation. This project
cannot proceed without you and please know that any gift is
overwhelmingly appreciated.
Checks can be made payable to:
Lambda Chi Alpha
Memo: Landscaping Project
Please send any contributions to:
Lambda Chi Alpha
400 E. College St. #417
Georgetown, KY 40324
Finally, Homecoming will be the weekend of October 19-21. If you
have not made plans to return and see your brothers from the
past, do so. They were some of the best years of your life, why
not relive them? More information will be coming soon. We hope to
see each of you there.
In Z.A.X.,

Dear Friends Here & There:
In case you have not heard, our wonderful young friend, Kevin-Wayne
Brown, who has blessed us all in so many ways these past four
years, received the highest student honor at Commencement on May
12th as he was presented with the prestigious "President's
Award". To see a full press release of the award [with
pictures] please follow this link..... http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/News/2001/5-24.htm
There has seldom been a young man who has distinguished himself
in such a plethora of venues as has "Hoss-Cat" - and I
feel humbled and blessed that he was such an important part of my/our
lives for these past four years [and hopefully he will continue
to be - he has graduated not "crossed-over"
<smile> ]. I figured you might want to know as we celebrate
this extraordinary young gent. Be Well.
Most Warmly,
Pete LaRue

Brothers,
Was surfing the Chapter Web Page when I realized that we have a
few news items that might be print worthy.
I went to graduation last week to see Brother Joe Dan Osceloa
receive an Honorary Doctors degree from Georgetown College.
We are planning a reunion in Louisville on November 2-4.
Activities include a trip to Churchill Downs, dinner and dance
with live music, a trip to the new Caesar's Riverboat and resort
and an open brunch at the Galt House Hotel on Sunday. The
committee will meet again on July 12th to finalize the plans and
begin sending invitations.

On behalf of the Brothers of the Kappa-Omega Zeta of Lambda Chi
Alpha collectively, and myself personally, it gives me great
pleasure to announce the creation of the "William A. Beams
Leadership-Service Scholarship". This scholarship is created
in honor of the ongoing work and efforts afforded our Zeta by
Bill Beams of Wilmore, Kentucky. Mr. Beams has ably served the
Georgetown College chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha for many years,
and currently serves as President of our Alumni Advisory Board.
The scholarship, in the amount of $250.00, will be awarded
annually to an incoming, full-time, residential freshman male at
the beginning of the fall semester. Applicants will submit to the
Executive Committee of Kappa-Omega Zeta, a resume and brief
biographical sketch. Preference will be given to applicants who
are exemplars of academic excellence, leadership skills,
spiritual
values and strong involvement in wide and varied activities.
The "William A. Beams Leadership-Service Scholarship"
was created by the Executive Committee of our Kappa-Omega Zeta
this past Monday, and given approval by the full Brotherhood at
our General Meeting. The Brothers were pleased to announce this
new scholarship on April 30, 2001, when Mr. Beams was present.
The scholarship is designed to enhance a young man's first
impressions of Georgetown College collectively and the Greek
System in general. In no manner or fashion will it be viewed as a
"recruiting device" for future Brothers of Lambda Chi
Alpha.
To this end, I am requesting on behalf of our Brotherhood, the
opportunity to obtain from the Admissions Office, the names and
home addresses of incoming, full-time, residential male students.
As we are cognizant that the recruiting season goes well into the
summer months, we would not need this information prior to the
middle of July. Our High Delta, Mr. Brian Mattingly, upon receipt
of this information, would design a letter explaining the
scholarship and application procedure, as well as briefly
indicating the many, well-known positives associated with Greek
Life at Georgetown College. Please let me know if there is
anything else which I might do to facilitate this request.
Again, we are very excited about this new scholarship
opportunity, and consider it a privilege and pleasure to honor a
valued alumnus, such as Mr. Beams, in this fashion.
Most Warmly,
Pete LaRue

Brothers,
I am writing one last time to express my gratitude for your
support and encouragement over the past four years. It does not
seem possible that it has been that long since I served as Alumni
Secretary. I hope that you can sense an increased effort to
improve our alumni relations and I trust that we can make this
bond even stronger. Soon, I too, will be an alumnus and I will be
joining you in supporting a group of guys that is second to none.
I don't know what you were feeling when you were two weeks away
from graduating. I have had moments of extreme joy, but I have
also been overwhelmed with tears thinking about all that I am
leaving behind. Last week I was reminded of the extreme efforts
of our brotherhood at the Fourth Annual Greek Recognition Banquet.
We received the following honors:
Advisor of the Year: Dr. Peter LaRue
Man of the Year: Kevin Brown
Scholar of the Year: Joey Coleman
Athlete of the Year: Jamie Johnson
Campus Involvement
Community Service Cup
Scholarship Cup

I am beginning to notice all of the things that we take for
granted every day; awards, formals, Homecomings, parties, Ritual,
meetings, late night talks, and stupid jokes from the back of the
room. As much as I will miss all of the things that make us what
we are, I know that it is my time to move on and support the
brotherhood from a different perspective.
I challenge you to join me in supporting the active chapter now
and for many years to come. Thank you for entrusting me with the
legacy of your brotherhood. I have given the reins over to
someone I know will be successful. Look forward to seeing and
hearing good things from our new High Alpha Michael Birchett,
High Rho David McConda, and the remainder of the 2001-2002
Leadership Team. Thanks again for a wonderful four years. I
remain most respectfully yours...
In Z.A.X.,

Dear Brothers,
At the outset, please extend my personal thanks and thanks on
behalf of young Martin and the entire Rains family, for the out-pouring
of prayers, goodwill, and good wishes which you have extended for
and towards him. It has meant more to this young gent than you
may possibly imagine, and although it represents troubling
circumstance, I have been both gratified by - and humbled by -
your support for this Brother and our Brotherhood in this time of
need. The literal and figurative "mobilization" of
Kappa-Omega at this time has been awe-inspiring.
On Thursday, the doctors performed what is being billed as a
"surgical biopsy" on Martin as they continue to try to
unravel the mystery of his condition. I know from discussions
with his Mother, that tissue/samples were taken from the
pericardium, pericardial fluid, and the heart muscle [please
forgive me you "real doctor" types - I might not have
gotten the terminology/nomenclature quite right - but it is
something like that]. The doctors are hoping - from these samples
- to get a better picture on what might be causing his condition.
There is a chance that Martin might leave the hospital as early
as this weekend [or as soon as he recovers from the biopsy
procedure], however, the big concern remains - they seemingly
have not a clue of what is actually causing the problem.
I thank-you for your thoughts and prayers for Martin - and hope
that you will continue in a similar fashion. I will try to keep
you abreast of any news/changes in his condition.
Most Warmly,
Pete LaRue
PS: This weekend the Brothers are having their annual "Hot-Tub-A-Thon"
with our good friends from Sigma Kappa. The proceeds from this
popular philanthropic project will go to the local chapter of
cystic fibrosis. Brother Adam Poff has been the Coordinator for
this year's HTAT, and has done a great job for the project. Last
evening the fine gents from 105.5 FM in Lexington spent a few
hours down at the house - transmitting live from the HTAT - which
has brought unusually good press for Kappa-Omega, Lambda Chi
Alpha and Georgetown College. The HTAT concludes this evening at
6:00 PM.

Dear Active & Alumni Brothers of Kappa-Omega Zeta,
I have a favor to ask. In your thoughts and prayers over the next
few days, will you please remember our Brother, Martin Rains. As
all Active Brothers know, as well as many of you Alumni Brothers,
Martin is a sophomore, pre-med major from Paducah. He currently
serves our Brotherhood as High Delta and is also a valued member
of the college soccer team.
For several weeks, Martin has been fighting a condition which
seemingly affects his heart - and by extension his entire body.
He has been in and out of the hospital several times over the
past few months. He spent the entire week prior to Spring Break
at Central Baptist in Lexington, was able to go home during
break, and since returning, has again been at Central Baptist.
His condition seemingly perplexes all of the attending physicians.
Currently, he is being seen by a team of cardiologists, another
team of immunologists, as well as several other specialists. And
no offense to our many Brothers involved in the medical
profession, but Martin's doctors can seemingly come to no
conclusion - other than he is very, very sick - and this is an
obvious
source of great concern to all.
I visited with Martin and his Mother this afternoon, and he is
exceedingly appreciative of the many kindnesses being shown him
by Adam, all Brothers, the gents of the soccer team and many
other members of our Georgetown College campus community.
I most humbly ask for your prayers on behalf of our young friend
Martin. Please know I do not make this request lightly. The
uncertainty of Martin's health, the baffling nature of his
recurring condition, the despair always associated with the
unknown - all prompt me to make this request.
As mentioned, Martin is at Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington.
His room number is 4202 and telephone is 859-260-4202. Please
know a Brother needs you now.
Most Warmly,
Peter LaRue

The following announcement is from Georgetown College:
Georgetown College alumni will no longer have to look very far to
find an old friend, reminisce about the "good old days,"
or find out what their classmates are now up to. The Georgetown
College Alumni Association's new web site was launched today.
The site, found at http://www.georgetowncollege.edu/alumni,
features updated alumni news, class notes, homecoming, alumni
events information, an on-line version of "Insights" (Georgetown
College's alumni magazine), online shopping at The Store at
Georgetown College, and information about the benefits of the GC
Alumni Association. "The best part of the site is the
nostalgia it produces for the viewer, "said Alumni
Association Executive Director Logan Hillyard. "We made an
effort to have something there for every alum, and I believe
everyone who visits the site will be pleasantly surprised. We
hope alumni of the College will start to use the site to keep
track of their friends, stay in touch and involved with the
Association, and even send in pictures and updates about
themselves for our class notes and featured sections. "The

Dearest Brothers of Kappa-Omega: NIBS, Initiates and Valued
Alumni,
Well gosh, although upon occasion I share assorted thoughts with
varying "wings" of our Kappa-Omega operation - I
thought in this one case - I might send the same brief, but
rambling e-communique to everyone. Might be a plan. Grrr...
What a special privilege and pleasure it was to again be a part
of our Kappa-Omega Brotherhood this past weekend, as we welcomed
into the "inner circle" our eleven, new and highly-cherished
"NIBS". During the weekend, I was reminded of the
extraordinary power, profound meaning and sheer beauty of our
Lambda Chi Alpha Ritual. Special thanks to Mr. Oakes [High Phi],
Mr. Johnson [High Kappa], Mr. Brown [High Alpha] and the entire
Brotherhood for ensuring the great success of "I" Week
in general and Ritual in particular. Special thanks to several
Alumni Brothers for giving of your time to be with us over the
weekend. And a special commendation to our good friend, Mr. Bill
Beams, for being with us - for the duration [and dodging some
most inexplicable flying objects - upon occasion]. Thanks to
everyone and all.
Among our Alumni Brothers, my sharing of the great Tolkien
quotation of a week or so ago - might have raised a few eyebrows.
Please - All Brothers - read and/or read again, and reflect upon
the wisdom of these fine words. I offer it not to obsfucate - but
to clarify.....
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost."
As I am on a "sharing" kick - there follows a "mantra"
[ok - that is probably not the correct word in this particular
application] which I have posted in each place I might find
myself during the course of each day. I am surely not saying that
these thirteen "bits" [I could say "orts"
here to help recover from the previous mis-usage of mantra] of
wisdom are a panacea for all things - but they surely help keep
me on the relatively [marginally] "S&N" [aka
Straight and Narrow]. Much of my ongoing "higher road/lower
road" mumblings [well, that sounds a tad negative - but I
hated to saying "preachings" for obvious reasons] are
based upon the great wisdom of General Powell. If you have never
seen/read/heard them, I hope you will. If you are revisiting the
"TPOO" I hope you will find something new upon which to
grasp.....
The "13 Principles of Operation"
General Colin Powell [ret.], Secretary of State
01. It ain't as bad as you think, it will look better in the
morning
02. Get mad, then get over it
03. Avoid having your ego so close to your position that, when
your position falls, your ego goes with it
04. It can be done
05. Be careful what you choose, you may get it
06. Don't let adverse facts stand in the way of a good decision
07. You can't make someone else's choices; you shouldn't let
someone else make yours
08. Check small things
09. Share credit
10. Remain calm, be kind
11. Have a vision; be demanding
12. Don't take counsel of your fears or naysayers
13. Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier
Well this little e-epistle was meant [originally] to just say
hello to all, send thanks to all, and to hopefully remind each of
us what a great privilege it is - to be a Brother of Kappa-Omega.
Oh heck [or other expletive of choice] yes, we have daily
challenges at the Ralph L. Curry House. Oh heck [or other
expletive of choice] yes, we sometimes make choices for the
better - sometimes for the worse. Oh heck [or other expletive of
choice] yes, sometimes the frustrations involved with just "keeping
the boat afloat" are overwhelming. But please know, everyone
- in their own way - be they past, present or future Brothers
contribute to Kappa-Omega - and we celebrate these contributions.
To the NIBS: Welcome Aboard!!! To our Initiated Brothers: Thanks
for everything. Have Good & Safe Spring Breaks!!! To our
Valued Alumni: Even though many miles or many years might
separate us, you are with us always.
And I would like to close with the Bible Verse which I read
daily, mention often and have shared previously. I hope that it
might bring you the strength of Spirit and hope for Light which
it does for me.
Thessalonians 5, 14-18
"And we exhort you brethren, admonish the idle, encourage
the faint-hearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. See
that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good
to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray constantly, give
thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in
Christ Jesus for you."
Most Warmly,
Peter LaRue

Brothers,
It has been some time since I last received the opportunity to
formally address all of you. We are currently making final
preparations for the most anticipated week of the year, I-Week.
It hardly seems possible that it is time once again to initiate
another class of fine young men. If you have not heard by now, we
were very pleased to welcome 11 new Associates on January 26.
Each of our Associates has displayed a strong work ethic and
eagerness to learn, qualities that will greatly benefit our
brotherhood now and in the future. Although our number of
Associates is somewhat lower than it has been in the past, I can
assure you that Kappa-Omega has never been in better shape. It
seems as though we sometimes measure success in numbers and/or
awards, but this should not be the case.
Over the past few weeks, I have heard that some of you are
concerned about the state of the chapter. If you are concerned
about what is happening at Kappa-Omega, I invite you to write me
with your concerns. I would be glad to ease your worries. Did we
get the largest pledge class? No. Do we have the best parties?
Probably not. Do we always abide by every rule? Certainly not.
But.... Do we have the highest fraternal GPA on campus? Yes. Are
we the most philanthropic fraternity on campus? You bet. Are we
the most dedicated and involved men on campus? By far.
I say all of this to make a distinct point. For years I have
heard brothers before me say, "We're the best." I have
heard it so many times that I have grown tired of hearing it.
Rarely has anyone stopped to really measure what it means to be
the best. To me, being the best means recognizing your strengths
while humbling yourself with your weaknesses. Once those
weaknesses are recognized, only the best will overcome them.
Every year we discover weaknesses, and every year we overcome
them. I will be honest, we have discovered some weaknesses this
year and we have overcome them. In my opinion, if you can't find
something to improve upon, then you aren't doing your job.
The brothers of Kappa-Omega take the legacy of our brotherhood
very seriously. We work to ensure that young men that will be
here long after we are gone can be afforded the same experience
from which we have all greatly benefited. As my senior year draws
to a close I can't help but look back upon the last four years of
my life and thank God that I have no regrets. Lambda Chi Alpha
has taught me so many things about myself, lessons that every
young man needs to learn. I would hope that you could say that it
was Lambda Chi that made Georgetown College a home for you. It
has been a home for me, a home that I would never put in harm's
way, a home that I would protect and defend, and most
importantly, a home that I know is in good hands after I am gone.
Please know that your home is in good hands. Know that your
legacy is lived every day and that you are not forgotten.
We are having Ritual this weekend, March 2-3. I would be honored
if you could come and experience the work of our Ritualist,
Stephen Oakes and our Fraternity Educator, Jamie Johnson as our
brotherhood continues to grow and prosper. Until we meet again, I
remain most respectfully yours...
In Z.A.X.,

Dear Good and Faithful Alumni Brothers of our Kappa-Omega Zeta,
The e-communique recently sent to you by our High Alpha, the
responses which I am sure it most predictably elicited and a few
other events of late, prompt me to share the words of J. R. R.
Tolkien with you. Although I am tempted to say more - I shan't -
as Mr. Tolkien says it best.....
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost."

Hi Brothers,
We need to get the reunion committee back in action. It's been a
long time since we got together, so how about lunch on the
22nd of Feb in Bardstown? Does12:00 noon EST at The Old Talbott
Tavern sound OK? It is located at 107 West Stephen Foster Ave,

Bring along all your ideas for the next reunion. I need lots of
suggestions. Check your calendar and let me know if you can make
it so we can give them a

Hey brothers:
Just to let all y'all know what's up in my life- finished my MA
in Industrial Psych, almost through my JD here at Villanova Law,

fall. Still single and my family is very healthy and abundantly
blessed. Life is great here in Philadelphia but my mind is often
back on the third floor of the LXA house.
I wish you all the best.

that goes into a wedding, or just for the heck of it, please drop
