The fact that it was one of the youngest clubs did not hold its members back in any way. Kappa Tau became a respected and very unique group. Many people on Harding's campus held strong views about Kappa Tau as a men's club. As a rebuttal to negative statements about his club, senior Doug Buce argued, "Kappa Tau is undoubtedly one of the top social clubs at Harding. We are diversified in regard to our personalities, yet unified as a club. Almost everyone outside the club has a definite opinion concerning us. They either love us or...well ...don't love us. I like that." The different members of Kappa Tau ranged from radio/television broadcasting to accounting majors. There was, however, the common ground of their Lord and their club, and bringing the two together. The major goal this year was to grow spiritually. Planning and attending devotionals helped make this goal a reality. According to club members, the element of participation in Kappa Tau was amazing. Though members were an active part of campus life, they maintained a close relationship with each other. President Dave Martin declared, "Participation plays a key role in the closeness of Kappa Tau. Almost everyone takes part." A sports record of ten championships for the club last year helped to prove this point. Pledge Week for Kappa Tau was a very successful one. Members of other clubs could spot a Kappa Tau pledge on silly day simply by looking at the color of his face; Kappa Tau pledgemasters had their pledges paint their faces half black and half blue, the colors of the club. Kappa Tau Omega had nearly overcome the trenchcoat and flat top era. It was rising to prove more of what the founders of Kappa Tau aimed to prove - good guys really do wear blac/ Kappa Tau Omega 61 Single Clubs
