VOL. 3, NO. 1 COLUMBIA CHAPTER, NEW YORK, N. Y. nOfh Ekklesia The Omega Association The bi-annual Ekklesia of Phi Gamma Delta is traditionally a scene of much fun, gaiety, and congenial brotherhood — with some work tossed in as a matter of course. At the 110th Ekklesia, how ever, just the reverse was true, especially for Omega's delegates: James L. Bast '58C, Thomas E.

Attempting to realize to a greater ex tent in our chapter the laudable, yet il lusive, qualities which are the essence of true brotherhood, your undergraduate cabinet and brothers have sought to look within the chapter, the fraternity, and our selves to find if, where, how, and why we may be lacking. Our efforts in this regard have indica ted room for improvement, altering a more centrifugal scope of fraternal in terest and activities to correspond in great er degree of the ideals and principles of Phi Gamma Delta. To this end we have attempted to achieve a more stable, vital operating chapter and to establish a firmer organization of house functions. As the future life blood of any organ ization is its youngest members, so one of our main concerns has been with our members-to-be, with the selection and training of our pledges. Having given the white star to only ten select boys, we have tried to cultivate through limited numbers and greater individual contact a more personal rapport between pledge and pledge, and between pledge and brother. Also, the pledge training period has been extended from seven to thirteen weeks and our pledge training system has been revised, making it not only more inclusive, but more demanding of the pledge. A main area of concern has been with our alumni program. Although we have lost contact almost completely with our graduate brothers in the past, this year we have compiled an almost complete, accurate list of brothers and have trans ferred this list to addressograph plates, providing a permanent record and also a relatively easy and fast method for cor responding with the brothers (presently numbering over 600). We hope now to to keep all brothers posted on chapter and graduate brother activities and such. In addition, we hope to have the pleasure of the company of an increasing number of graduate brothers at the house. Per haps, as well, we may now have the benefit in our chapter dealings of the aid and advice of (these older, more experienced members. The latter, we hope, may provide a stability and con sistency in chapter plans and operations which has been needed, but lacking, for quite a while. Fledge Class Quality, not quantity, describes the Omega fall pledge class. The new pledge class numbers ten "mutts" strong, making it one of the smallest pledge classes in recent Omega history. Even the most jaded Omega Fijis, however, have marveled at the high calibre of the new pledge group. The ten "mutts" are uniformly excellent pros pects for bortherhood and have already made themselves a part of the chapter house scene. Charlie Landwehr has undertaken the task — less formidable this year than usual — of polishing off these diamonds in the rough. Here's a quick run-down on the ten newest members of the Omega community:. WILLIAM "SMOKEY" BLAKE "Smokey" hails from Newton, Pa., where he made himself known at his high school as a basketball and baseball player, and editor of the yearbook. His SPRING, 1959 college activities include traveling with the Light Blue football squad as a mana ger and carousing with the young John Paul Joneses in the Navy Service Society. GERALD CLARENDON Gerry comes to Columbia from White Hall, Maryland. A state track champion, Gerry also wrestled and played football during his high school days. His contribu tions to the athletic scene on Morningside Heights are callousied hands (crew) and Charley horses (track). GEORGE C. COLLINS George comes from Birmingham, but he doesn't have a Southern accent. It could be because he's from Birmingham, Michigan. George's extracurricular activi ties at Columbia include membership in the Newman Club and a berth on the wrestling team. JAMES DAVIS Jim's perpetual sun tan is proof of the balmy climate of his hometown, Miami, Fla. A student activities leader during his high school career, Jim lists member ship in the University Christian Associa tion among his Columbia activities. WILLIAM FEJER In this regard, the Omega Association (the house-owning corporation) has emerged from its rather dormant state and has recently elected new directors and officers, commenced holding regular monthly meetings, set up an operating committee system to study and assist with chapter problems, and generally is doing a fine organizational job in its functions and undertakings. In the house proper, the chapter im provements continue, securing additional furniture, improving care and treatment of the house and its furnishings (through increased interest by brothers and in creased personal attention by pledges and the maid), and more, long needed major repairs by the house association including Will is an accomplished pianist with that rare ability of being able to play any tune at anytime as if he'd been play ing all his life. He comes to Columbia from Chicago. ROBERT LEE HATCHER Bob has the worthy distinction of being a Texan. And what is more fortunate, he hails from Corpus Christi, the jewel of the Gulf Coast. At present, he is row ing with the freshman crew. JOHN MACKENZIE John brought his fine tenor voice to Columbia from Westfield, New Jersey. He sings in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine when he's not rowing on the Hudson. — for safety and convenience — re wiring part of the house (adding more PETER McCABE Pete comes to Omega after an activitycircuits and placing additional electrical crowded high school career in Leonia, outlets in almost every room), replaster- New Jersey.

Frank will be spending most of his college extracurricular time on the cinder track at Baker Field as a member of the freshman track team. \r\nSPRING, 1959 BROADWAY FIJI PAGE 3 HISTORIAN'S REPORT -Alumni l^eti urn Omega has added eighteen new brothers since the last issue of the Broadway Fiji.

The eighteenth of October and of December were happy days for many of Omega's Alumni as they returned to the scene of undergraduate activity to enjoy pleasant reminiscing with brothers who for too long were absent from daily con tact. The Homecoming Cocktail Party in October was especially well received by our graduate brothers, though the football team had lost to Harvard earlier in the afternoon. This was soon forgotten in the warm conversation and happy recol bined in him. Joseph Lane — A probate of the Van Am Society from Great Neck, Joe is also active in the Honor Commission and the Crew.

Basketball has been progressing fairly well, with a season record of one and one to date. This year we feature height and maneuverability which should lead to a successful completion of the remain ing games. Volleyball hasn't begun as of yet but with the addition of some very tall pled ges we shouldn't have too much difficulty on the indoor court. We hope to continue with a repetition of last year's winning season. The pitchers spot may provide prob lems in the coming baseball contests, but our hitting abilities may be enough to offset this weakness. Our aim is to main tain the position of league leadership which we held last year. \r\nAHJMNI HEWS Omega of Phi Gamma Delta Spring 1959 1902 Harborough Desmond Upton, 232 North Fulton Avenue, Mount Vernon, New York is now taking life easy as a retired architect. 1906 Roderick Stephens, 8 Peter Cooper Village, New York, took the floor at this summers Ekklesia as a delegate from Xi Graduate Chapter.
