The following list of Fijis in campus activities gives one an over all view of the leadership abilities of these men. It is difficult to find any phase of Knox life in which Phi Gams do not play a pi-ominent part. Student Senate — Kent Richards, Treasurer 1958-60. Jack Gorhy. Honor Board — Harry Row, Jim Crowfoot. Friars—Bill Graning, Kent Rich ards, Harry Row. During the fir.st half of this semester, tho.se of you who have .seriou.sly been thinking about joining a fraternity had two ha.sic question.s in mind. First, should I join a fraternity; second, what should T look for in a fraternity? You have had time to hear a majority of the arguments, for and against fraternity life. Now it is up to you to make your decision. In regard to the former question I can only tell you that this is a personal matter. You must decide for yourself. It is the purjiose of this jiaper to aid you in answering the second question. Perhaps in so doing we can point out some merits in fraternity life that will make the first decision easier. Neverthe less, we are still primarily interested in making suggestions to you as to what to look for in a fraternity — and in ijarticular, Idii (kmima Delta Fraternity.

With this goal in mind Gamma Deuteron has been able to maintain a well- rounded chaiiter, consisting of active members with varied per sonalities. It is a solid chapter — internally strong and, as you will see, active in all jihases of camims life. Its list of nationally known graduates is a long one, extending from composer Otto Harbach to the manufacturing Ingersolls. We of Phi Gamma Delta are jiroud of our chapter, and ask only that you look at our record and make your decision with this in mind. \ ours is the choice —ours is only to aid you in making it objectively, and to wish you a ideasant and prosperous four years at Knox.

You will no doubt be surprised to learn that^ it costs less to live at the fraternit.v than at the school—fraternity dues included. Phi Gamma Delta is also unique on the Knox campus in that it has its mortgage paid in full. Compare the prices!

The Fiji Is land Party—a party that provides an excellent opportunity for the Knox Fiji Islanders to return to their native habitat, the perfect facsimile of the Souse Sea Islands, Green Oaks in the spring time; and to do honor by the fraternity. The brothers and their dates dress up in dramatic Fiji Island costumes and soak up the atmosphere of the Islands created by a barn, bamboo, native type food, fish nets, and ambitious Fijis. The sarong is, quite incidentally, one requirement for party admittance that is strctly en forced. The brothers chant high praises for this South Sea Island orgy by labeling it the "best party on Campus." Informals - Get-togethers In addition to the three major parties mentioned above.
