I FOR OUR GRADUATE BROTHERS Flint, Mn.chigan General Motors Institute May, 1971 DEAR GRADUATE BROTHERS i. t The Brothers here at the house hope that you might notice a little different format in the newsletter this time. With as much information as is available to us, we have tried to make this a true graduate brothers newsletter. Lack of information about our grads is our biggest drawback, as I'm sure it always has been, A couple of solutions come to mind to bridge this communication chasm. The first will utilize the graduate newsletter and depends upon some feedback from you, the graduate. We are quite interested in what your opinions are regarding important issues of today, both within the fraternity system and without} we want to know where you are located now and what you are presently doing. I am also sure other things will come to your minds which vxarrant expression. In short, we are asking you to use your graduate newsletter. Write us whenever and as often as you like about whatever you like-—the possibilities are unlimited, Ever^hing received will be printed. Here is your chance to see true freedom of the press. The second way to strengthen the channels between the tindergrads here at the chapter house and you the grads is to "br^g you back to the chapter house", both in an official and -unofficial capacity. In the offical capacity, there are several areas to mention. Our Purple Legionnaire and the Board of Chapter Advisors are typical examples. Our house corporation certainly needs rejuvenating. All of these positions are extremely important to the' operation of our chapter. In the -unofficial sense, become involved in our rush by sending us recommendations for new men, work -i-iith the grad-uate chapter in yo-ur city, and try to attend the graduate re-union this year—the Norris Pig Dxnner. Abwe all, don't wait for a formal invitation to stop in. There are occassions which might bring you back to Flint, and a short visit at the house always helps to restore involvement. There are no valid excuses for the lack of graduate re_ations in the past. There is only a need for an active and beneficial program now. We want to re—involve you in your fraternity, and -we hope this newsletter might begin to serve that purpose. Hopefully, you -will be able to say, "± am a FIJIl", and not, "I was a Fiji in college," Fraternally, PERGEi Gregory L, Hadley Chapter President \r\nFIJI'S In Action: ANNUAL EGG HUNT As is the FIJI custom at G.N9I. the brothers staged their annual Easter egg hunt in Ballenger Park of Flint, Even though advanced publicity was limited because Easter was at the first fart of the section, at least 200 children had gathered at the starting time on Easter Saturday by the 10:00 A.F, starting time. The brothers had hidden approximately 750 colored eggs earlier the same morning and this is what the children were after. The E;,ister Bunny part was dutifully played by Brother Robert Wozniak, and he was on hand to give out prizes 'Golden Eggs' which were hidden with the other colored , The event w..s again successful in providing the area Flint children with some Easter fun and displaying Phi Gamma Delta's community spirit to the people of Flint, BIG BROTHERS OF FLINT Again this year many of the brothers of cur chapter are involved in the "Big Brothers of Flint" program.
