Representatives from the county presented to us a proclamation declaring Feb. 10, 1973, Pi Kappa Alpha Day in Knox County. Committee meetings on chapter organization, finances, and the new member program were followed by a luncheon at the house. A rush seminar featured the Pi Kappa Alpha National rush film. Steve Hoelscher, Assistant Executive Director of Pi Kappa Alpha led the seminar. Our own Robin Lyle was chosen as district treasurer during the election of district officers. Regional President Richard Ogle spoke at the final banquet. A party at the house ended the convention. The convention is scheduled to be held at Vanderbilt next year. It enabled close neighbor chapters to get together and discuss our problems and programs try to help each other. We hope it will become an annual event.
