Rutgers life — athletically, politically, scholastically, militarily — as leaders and as followers. Not only does this aid the House by keeping it interested in the total University through its Brothers, but the indi vidual is a better person for his participation. Fiji Chapters nationwide have three goals in mind: development scholastically, fraternally and socially. The professional interest and experience of our national directors and executive staff account for the basic homogeneity among 86 Chapters with 86 different individualities. This also accounts for our unparalleled rating of Chapters on campuses throughout the continent — of which we are quite proud. But what about the Rutgers Fijis? One of the most enjoyable features of our Chapter, I feel is our geographical representation. Over one-half of us are from-out-of-state, claiming hometowns from New England to Florida, to southern California. Not only are we together seven days a week (weekend com muting being quite difficult), but a cross-section of individuals is brought together as freshman and molded into a unit - wearers of the black diamond _- looked upon as a unit, but never becoming stereo typed. Socially, party themes and activities are decided on by the Brotherhood as a whole. Not only are House parties, Fiji Islands, beach excursions and the like included under "social," but so are emphasis on social graces (under the able tutelage of our house mother, Mrs. Sudie Lumpkin), crippled children's parties, inviting faculty memliers to supper each week, and "informals" with the coop. I hope your interest has been stimulated enough to informally drop by the House, party with us, and talk with us about Phi Camma Delta. And above all, be truly concerned about which frater nity you will choose, for it will constitute the major influence on your life for the next four years - and it will not be for college days alone. I am sincerely looking forward to meeting you in person. °^ President, Nu, eta Chapter p s. Concerning our new House: although we enjoy the hom-i-ness' of our old, well used establishment at 78 Easton, we are financially able and ready in desire to move to the Heights as soon as the Univer sity plan is concretely settled, and the latest estimate IS September, 1963. \r\nI sSSSsSSSSsSk" 5-' Brotherhood From left to right.

Lehman It has been a tradition at Phi Gamma Campus for every Brother to take part in some campus activity outside of the Fraternity. This helps each Brother to develop as an individual while aiding his school and representing Phi Gamma Delta. We therefore have brothers in practically every activity on Campus. By working actively in some activity many brothers have achieved ranking positions. A proud achievement of Nu Beta was the election of Sam Mudie and Don Lehman to the Senior Honorary Society, Cap and Skull. Membership in this organization denotes outstanding contribution to the life of the University over three years. Also, Brothers Tom Wirth and Jeff Reinhardt were elected to Crown & Scroll, the Junior Honorary Society. Phi Gam also has its share of members in the various honorary fraternities. Joe Kowalski is a member of Alpha Zeta. Rich Palicka is a member of Keramos. Don Peterson is in the Economic Honor Society. Don Lehman, Joe Baumgarden, Rich Sieredzki and Pete Kusulas are members of Pi Mu Epsilon. Brother Baumgarden is also a member of Tau Beta Pi, and along with Sam Mudie is a member of Pi Tau Sigma. One of the most popular activities with Eijis is advance R.O.T.C. Sixteen Brothers are in either of the two advanced programs and many have achieved Advanced R.O.T.C. Front row: J. Heinigr, S.

Reinhardt distinction. Don Lehman is Cadet Colonel of the Air Force. Joe Anstatt is Commander of Queens Guard. Bob Meeker is Group Commander and Bill Libby is Inspector General of the Air Force. Another achievement was the naming of three brothers this year in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. Brothers Lehman, Mudie and Reinhardt received this honor which is the result of holding a high office on campus. Two Fijis hold class offices. Jeff Reinhardt is Vice President of the Class of '63 and Roger Woodworth is the President of the Class of '61. Other Fijis holding camjnis positions are: Richard Waugh is Sports Editor of the Scarlet Letters. Dick Webb is Co-Captain of the Track Team. Bill Libby and Rich Sieredzki are members of the Academic Honesty Board. Five Fijis are also preceptors: they are Brothers Lehman, Fred Muller, Ron Egan, Richard Waugh, and Roger Woodworth. It would be impossible to list the activities in which every Brother is involved. But through hard work and interest these Brothers have earned the Scarlet of their University and the Purjile of their Fraternity. Honor Societies front row. J. Baumgarden, R. Palicka, J.

Salute To The Class Of 1962 A fraternity is always more than the sum of its members, but no brother gets more out of it than what he puts into it.

As a ceramics LAUkutOI? \r\nThe Social Life On Rutgers campus "German House" means real gone, swell, the greatest; and the whole cam pus knows that the Fijis' parties are "German House." Taking full advantage of the University's social calendar, the Phi Gams make each big week end a time for costumes, high times, and just plain fun. The emphasis of all the brotherhood is on the Fiji Island Weekend, which falls during Mili Ball The Brothers Four entertain us in our kitchen. Left to right: John Paine, Bob Flick, Mike Kirkland, and Dick Fbley. every year. At this time the Fiji house and yard take on the aspect of a South Sea Island. Palm trees, cocoanuts, grass huts, giant Fiji warriors, vol canoes, and even our own ocean sprout up around the property as Fijis and their dates come dressed in sarongs and grass skirts to the cannibal banquet of roast chicken and Fiji punch. A band, like those that are present on all big weekends, adds the more civilized entertainment of dancing to the day's pro gram. The inventiveness of the Fijis knows no end, and each year some new tradition is initiated to be added to our Fiji island ritual. The parties on Soph Hop and Junior Prom weekends have varying themes, ranging from pajama parties. Roaring 20's parties, and Gay 90's parties to beatnik wingdings and Transilvanian Ghoul par ties. This past Soph Hop started with the Johnny Mathis concert and ended with a casual but rocking Homecoming Queen, Elaine Carr and Escort Don Peterson. Social Highlight: C \r\nin Fijiland sweater party at the house. Aside from the big weekends, the Fijis have several other parties each semester. In the fall these take the form of football weekend parties, where the day's victory is appropriately celebrated in the jumping Fiji house. Despite the fun of the big weekends, the so cializing of the football parties, and the comraderie of the stag blasts, the real favorite of Fiji parties is our Christmas formal. This Saturday party is pre ceded by a night of cooperation in decorating the house. Greens, holly, hghts, tinsel, snow, and the tree add a Christmas warmth that seems to pervade our whole home. The next evening. Brothers dressed in tuxes and their dates dressed in formals gather in an atmosphere of cheer and good will, around w- the dinner table, around the fire, and after dancing, in the living room for carols and a Christmas greet ing to all. Fijis do not live solely for their parties, but the parties become the evidence and the high points of the closeness of a group of men, called together in aspiration toward common ideals, and working together in all things.
