Welcome to the Brotherhood of Phi Gamma Delta! \r\nFIJIS TO THE DOGS The Fiji House has an addition of which everyone is very proud. The Phi Gams are now the proud owners of two Saint Bernard pups, a gift from our seniors. They are male, pedigree pups bom Aug 12, 1970. Their names are "Caesar of Alpha Gam" and "Brutus of Alidia Gam." They must be the two most handled pups in Genesee County. Everyone here always seems to find some time to play with the "boys" or work on the seemingly unattainable goal—housebreaking them I Their home at the present time is a temporary pen made of plywood scraps on the north side of our house. In fact, it may already have served its purpose, the dogs can escape at willt Their rate of growth is almost phenomenal. They have grown so much in the past few weeks that they now have two possible escape routes from their pen, either climb over it or pry a "board" loose and squeeze through the fence. Their father is only two years old and weighs almost 200 pounds. Can you imagine hOO pounds of dog maming around the Phi Gam House? No matter how you look at it, Fijiland is going to be in for a "big experience". In fact, two big experiences!
