Origin of Executive Orders

Throughout the history of Phi Kappa Tau, there have been several occasions when an officer of high rank has deemed it necessary to enact what is known as an Executive Order. An Executive Order is a decree by an officer- usually the President- to another, lower ranking officer, to fulfill a duty that is imperative to the success and betterment of the Chapter. Here are two examples of recent Presidential Executive Orders that have had a profound impact on the dynamic of the brotherhood.

First Documented Executive Order:

Issued by President Brady Hodgson at 12:17 am on October 4th, 2005. Brady demands that the events from the Hall Party be documented. Secretary Jeff Hodgson complies.

Hall Party Minutes

Called to Order at sometime in the realm of midnightish

Attendence- Most of the people there were present. Special ladies present: Emily, Alexis and Thea

Brady issues an executive order to take minutes. Motion passed and amended therein.

Rousing songs of Old Phi Tau and the ADPi Chant were sung with much passion. Mike Maves initiates a motion to institute a mandatory lightswitch rave. There are none to oppose. It is so passed. Eric Olson draws the Chapter's attention to his glowing ecstasy-ball as it is passed to and fro in the rave. Owen Thompson arrives late to the Hall Party with a spirited "Hey!" salute. Steve makes a friendly amendment that even though he is laying in bed with the lights off, he is still up for a shot. Emily entertains a motion in which all attending the Party must speak in an English accent for the entirety of the event. The motion is entertained, indeed. Quite splendidly, I might add. Possible team names for the flag football team:
James- Boobies
Craig-Off in the Shower
Emily- The Best. Period.
Brady-Off in the Shower
Erik- The Pastry Legion
Jeff- Straight up Gangsters fo lyfe
Sean- Off in the Shower
At least 4 other people-Off in the Shower

There is a veto over the general house consensus that our team name should be Off In The Shower.

Brady assures the brotherhood that he is a kick-ass linebacker.

Pictures were taken by Joel for posterity. Rush Phi Tau.

Adjourned at an hour in which no man should ever be cognisant.

Second Documented Executive Order:

President Kyle Bjorback, in a moment of deep revelation, declares an official name change for a fellow brother. This took place during the hour of 1 o'clock am on January 13th, 2006.

Third Documented Executive Order:

President Luke Amundson, prior to his departure to New Zealand, declares that one may no longer use the "not the president of (insert anything here)" joke that had been running in the house.

Fourth Documented Executive Order:

President Rex Thompson, in a moment awaited by many, decrees that immediately following the conclusion of chapter meetings, the third floor is to become an official "No Pants Zone" until that time that everyone retreats to do their house duty.
