The Handley/Pi Kappa Phi Memorial Scholarship has been established with a $5,000 donation by the Housing Corporation of Beta Mu Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity through the McNeese State University Foundation in memory of the late Bruce Handley who was a member of the fraternity. The chapter was McNeese's first chartered national fraternity in 1955 and was among several small chapters closed in the early 1990s. After an attempt to re-establish the chapter failed, members of the chapter's Housing Corporation - Hardy Parkerson, Douglas Handley, Bruce's brother, and Dr. Joe Cash, head of the English and foreign languages department at McNeese and chapter adviser for 19 years - voted to establish the endowed scholarship. The scholarship will rotate among students majoring in the areas of English and foreign languages, history and social sciences, all departments housed in McNeese's first School of Humanities, now the College of Liberal Arts, and the first scholarship will be awarded in fall 2008.
