A Little Known Side Of Dean Cain
What, oh what would Dean Cain have in common with many governors, senators, a Chief Justice, a Nobel prize winner or two, well known industrialists, authors and financiers? Well, like them, he is part of a fraternity called Zeta Psi – it is called this because it is a name with two Greek letters – Zeta and Psi.
The Zeta Psi fraternity was formed way back in 1870 in California and from there, it has spread to many educational institutions all over North America and Canada. When you hear that it has a presence in all of the Ivy League colleges, you'll know what kind of a fraternity we are talking about. The President of Zeta Psi is called the Phi Alpha and it is headquartered in New York. Their motto is Tau Kappa Phi and like the secrecy which surrounds the rest of its activities, this too is shrouded in mystery.
How did Dean Cain get to be a part of this? It all began in his Princeton days. Though Dean had won umpteen scholarships because he had excelled in sports in school, he just disregarded all of them and went on to read history in Princeton. Though he did play a lot of sports there as well, he also paid a great deal of attention to his academic pursuits. This is probably why he must have been approached to join this fraternity which is rather fussy about who is taken in.
Zeta Psi is essentially a male organization and while it aims at building the bonds of brotherhood, it also seeks to bring about excellence, especially from an academic angle. Most members actively participate in all its programs, never mind how far they have left campus life behind them. It is a getting together for character building, leadership and intellectual pursuits. They work towards all the fraternal members being purposeful, original thinking, self controlled adults. It fosters the spirit of enquiry and innovation and little wonder it is found in only the schools of the higher cadre.
Looking at what Dean Cain is like on the inside makes people perceive just how much he has with the character he portrayed – Clark Kent/Superman. A quiet intellectual with a whole lot of super qualities that are hidden and only come to light when needed. He's the quintessential well rounded man and maybe that's why he makes his roles memorable.
