K N THE O X f/j/ G./). GALESBURG, ILLINOIS — RUSH ISSUE, 1961 Volume XXXVI Nc FRATERNITY OF PHI GAMMA DELTA Phi Gamma Delta, constantly ranked in the top three of all na tional fraternities, is one of the old est and most respected of Greek social fraternities. Founded at Jeff erson College in 1848, today it is 87 chapters strong, with more than 50,C'OO members. With a consistent record of strong chapters across the country and in Canada (Knox is currently rated the best chapter), Fijis have made them selves a corner-stone of the fi'atern- ity system. From the Stanford chap ter, to the ten chapters in the Big Ten, to the Ivy League chapters, the Fijis' spirit and hospitality has been impressed on all those who come in contact with them. Among Phi Gamma Delta's more distinguished sons, with over 1100 listed in Who's Who, are Calvin Coolidge, Christy Mathewson, Nor man Vincent Peale and Norman Rockwell. More recent Fijis include athletes Bob Mathias and Jack Nick- laus, and the singing group, the Brothers Four. Gamma Deuteron chapter at Knox, dating from 1867, has a rich history of its own. Among the 1000 Fijis who have passed through the Knox chapter are two state governors, an editor of the New York Times, and Otto Harbach, the famed composer of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." Six current members of the Knox Board of Trustees are Knox Fijis. The year 1961 provides itself as a rare opportunity to Knox Fijis: to be the best, in what they feel is the best of all fraternities. Phi Gamma Delta. KNOX FIJIS WELCOME THE CHENEY CUP, just presented to the chapter for the first time by William S. Zerman, Executive Secretary of Phi Gamma Delta. Knox Captures Cheney Cup; Rated Best of Fiji Chapters Symbolizing all that is best in any fraternity, the Orion H. Cheney Cup now rests in the Knox chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Awarded annually to the best all- around chapter of Phi Gamma Delta, the Cheney Cup represents the ulti mate achievement to all 87 Fiji chap ters throughout the country. It is awarded on a three-fold basis of nation of a long period of ascend ancy on the Knox campus. Last year was not untypical of Gamma Deuteron's record of achieve ment at Knox. It included the presi dents of both the fi-eshman and sen ior classes, two Fijis elected to Phi Beta Kappa, a Fulbright scholarship winner, an all-conference and little All-American honorable mention football player, and first place in evaluation: chapter relationships with the fraternity, 40 per cent; scholarship among all Knox's frater scholarship, 30 per cent; and extra curricular activities, 30 per cent. ly begun, promises even more to Never before has the Cheney Cup been brought to Gamma Deuteron chapter. In the previous year's rat ings Knox was second only to the University of Arizona Fiji chapter- in the Cheney Cup competition. Yet the Cheney Cup cannot be viewed as an award won within the space of one year. To the Knox Fijis, the Cup represents the culmi nities. Yet the coming year, as yet hard Knox Fijis. Already within its fold are the vice-presidencies of both the Student Senate and the Senior Class, the presidency of the Honor Board, 12 football letter-men and I-M volley ball championship. It seems obvious that Knox Fijis have not decided to merely rest on their record but intend to reach even higher levels of chapter eft'eciency. Gamma Deuteron has accepted the challenge of the Cheney Cup. \r\nLARRY ANDERSON will 8ANDES GEORGE 800KLESS LEE 8ART0LINI LARRY ANDERSON—'63, Elgin. 111. Chemistry Major. Freshman basketball.
