This tool will no doubt help anyone also seeking to contact brothers who are "lost," or have not been active in our alumni base. Check back soon as we will post this new link.

The 3rd annual Pike Presents philanthropy was held earlier this December. Pike raised money and purchased Christmas presents for around 400 children at a local underprivileged elementary school. The event was a huge success with help from many different sororities. It was very rewarding to see the excited looks on all the children's faces, some of whom will not be receiving any other gifts this holiday season. Thank you to all the parents and individuals who donated money for this event.

Spotlight on Alumni / Thomas P. (Pat) Robertson, Xi '61

Writing under the byline Pat Robertson, I am nearing the half-century mark in South Carolina journalism. I was already working full-time as a newspaper reporter for The State Newspaper when I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a journalism degree in 1961. But my newspaper career had begun almost two years earlier when I began writing free-lance features for The State at $25 per story. I have written a weekly outdoors newspaper column for the past 35 years.
Over the years I h...
