Although Many Phi Kappa Council Minutes Records Rescued, Some Still Missing.
We're missing Minutes for Council Meetings 860 thorough 928 (October 1971 - September 1976) and Council Meetings 1,010 (May 1981) through the final Resident Chapter Council Meeting in 2017.
It's unlikely that the missing minutes were casually disposed of. More likely, they were taken by a Brother(s) for safekeeping when the the House was going to be empty; put away in the back of a closet; and have been forgotten. Or there may be a forgotten computer file or printout somewhere.
If you have any idea where the missing Minutes (and other Chapter records) might be, please email illinicrows@gmail.com or call 203-253-7572. You will be reimbursed for any costs in securing, conserving and forwarding these important records of the Phi Kappa Chapter's century at the University of Illinois
