PAGE 4 CHAPTER ADVISORS FIJIS (Continued from Page 3) Out of this close association should come a better understanding of the true meaning and spirit of our national fra ternity and the proper relationship of the active chapter to other chapters and the national fraternity. Scholarship is bad ly neglected in some chapters. With the Board relationship good scholarship will always be emphasized and poor scholar ship criticized constructively in an ef fort to improve the situation. There are many fine fraternity honors and tro phies which can be won through good scholarship. In this day and age when the whole fraternity situation is under very close scrutiny and criticism it is indeed wise for the fraternity now to set the pace for good scholarship and not let the non-fraternity men show them up. The cleanliness, tidiness and general order and appearance of the house and yard will come under observ ation and should not be neglected. Good financial management and prudent spending are highly important. Active chapters will have problems difficult to handle such as occur in rushing, bad scholarship, debt obligation for dues, room SPRING, 1963 POT POURRI and boaz'd. The counsel of the Board can often help solve such prob lems. Perhaps the chief value of a Board of Chapter Advisors is to impress on the members of the Active Chapter the true value and meaning of a top National Fraternity such as Phi Gamma Delta not only during the college years but in years FIJIS SWEEP GREEK WEEK MAKE (Continued from Poge 1 ) IMPROVEMENTS There has been a lot of activity around the Fiji house this year.

EDITORIAL This year the brothers of the Xi Deu teron Chapter hope to forge our ties even stronger with the Cleveland Graduate Chapter. In the past we feel we have been close to the alumni, but in the fu ture we would like to be even more close and associate with the graduate brothers more often. The annual Thanksgiving Smoker and the Norris Pig Dinner offer such opportunities for graduate-under graduate integration, and it is sincerely hoped that the alumni will attend these functions and come to open houses more often to keep our close relationship. With such a close relationship between graduates and undergraduates, we all can not help but benefit and have an enjoyable fraternity experience. —Lee Hurshman William Chad Copeland is a freshman who hails from Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

ALUMNI ATTEND THANKSGIVING SMOKER The Thanksgiving season was made even more jovial for those many brothei-s who attended the Thanksgiving Smoker on November 21, li)62. The Smoker was held at the Chapter House and was a great success. Many different chapters were represented. The main activitiy of the Smoker was that of the alumni get ting to see and meet old friends as well as men of the undei-graduate chapter. Sandwiches and beei- helped get all the brothers in a holiday mood and to really have a good time discussing old and new experiences. The program also included a talk by several of the alumni in the carriage house. All the men here at Xi Deuteron Chap ter greatly enjoyed meeting the alumni and talking with all these brothers. Such events as the Smoker and Pig Dinner are extremely valuable in drawing the under-graduate and graduate brothers to gether. \r\nPAGE 4 CHAPTER ADVISORS FIJIS (Continued from Page 3) Out of this close association should come a better understanding of the true meaning and spirit of our national fra ternity and the proper relationship of the active chapter to other chapters and the national fraternity. Scholarship is bad ly neglected in some chapters. With the Board relationship good scholarship will always be emphasized and poor scholar ship criticized constructively in an ef fort to improve the situation. There are many fine fraternity honors and tro phies which can be won through good scholarship. In this day and age when the whole fraternity situation is under very close scrutiny and criticism it is indeed wise for the fraternity now to set the pace for good scholarship and not let the non-fraternity men show them up. The cleanliness, tidiness and general order and appearance of the house and yard will come under observ ation and should not be neglected. Good financial management and prudent spending are highly important. Active chapters will have problems difficult to handle such as occur in rushing, bad scholarship, debt obligation for dues, room SPRING, 1963 POT POURRI and boaz'd. The counsel of the Board can often help solve such prob lems. Perhaps the chief value of a Board of Chapter Advisors is to impress on the members of the Active Chapter the true value and meaning of a top National Fraternity such as Phi Gamma Delta not only during the college years but in years FIJIS SWEEP GREEK WEEK MAKE (Continued from Poge 1 ) IMPROVEMENTS There has been a lot of activity around the Fiji house this year.
