Here's the Kappa Omicron Chapter house as it appeared in 1928. The fabulous structure has held up very well indeed.
Chapter House Celebrates Its 60th Anniversary
Like the great pyramids of Egypt, our chapter house has
few, though. Many other changes have taken place. Many things
have changed over the years of Phi Gamma Delta's presence on
the Oregon State University campus — but many things remain
weathered many a storm, seen many a face, and experienced
the samel
a lot of fame. Although the time span involved with the pyramids
dwarfs that of OUR free-standing structure, there are never
theless many stories our "home away from home at 348 NW
25th Street would tell if it could speak.
In the spring of 1928, plans were finalized for the construc
tion of the home for all future Beaver Fijis. Planned by architect
In the April 1929 issue of the Phi Gamma Delta Magazine,
F. Earl Price (a charter member of Kappa Omicron) is quoted
as saying,"The immense rough-hewn posts which support the
entryway and the porte-cochere always impress the entering
freshman with the idea that they will still be there fifty years from
now when he returns, leaning on a cane, to see his grandson
In this year, 1988, the Kappa Omicron Chapter of Phi Gam

time, the Kappa Omicron Chapter house has undergone many

same idea of strength and permanence is carried out. One feels
that the huge beams overhead will be there fifty or even a hun

Well, 60 years and hundreds of worthy brothers later.
Brother F. Earl Price's prediction holds true. Things are different,
yet still very much the same at the Kappa Omicron Chapter

A Note from the KO Board President
Since we had a major renovation of the upper floors of the
KO Chapter house three years ago, there are really no major
projects in the works this year. We are trying to reduce the mort
gage debt as quickly as possible in order to reduce the finance
charges, and much of our income is being directed to this area.
However, we are hoping to complete some of the finish work,
including the placement of corkboard around the back of the
study desks. Also, a possible renovation of the ladies' powder
room is being considered, if funds allow. All in all, the chapter
house is in pretty good shape. Because of this, the only addi
tional work over the summer will be of a general maintenance

type.
Here is something that I am sure hasn't been done often,
if ever: The brothers from the forties are having a reunion at the
chapter house this summer. On July 9 and 10, the goal is to
have 40 brothers from the classes of'39,'40,'41,'42,'43, and
'44 and their spouses attend a gathering here in Corvallis. Those
that wish to are going to stay in the house and relive old times.
This event is being organized primarily by Bob "Mo" Morrison.
What a great way to renew old acquaintances and put the emp
ty chapter house to use during the summer!
We would like to express our thanks to all of you graduate
brothers who have seen fit to contribute to the KO Building Fund.
Every little bit extra we can put toward the mortgage really helps.
Fraternally, — Ken St. Pierre, KO Board President

Kappa Omicron Witnesses Fine Year
It has been a productive year for Kappa Omicron Chapter
of Phi Gamma Delta. Our major goal fall term was to increase
public relations throughout the university and Corvallis com
munity. We have continually worked to achieve our goal by in
creasing our service to the community and campus groups. Our
interfraternity relations have also improved. 1 am happy to say
that we have successfully shown the campus and community the
spirit and many talents of Kappa Omicron.
Rush Program Demands Participation
The continuing success of our chapter is of utmost impor
tance to us all. One major factor in measuring our chapter's im
provement each year is the success of the rush program. This
year's program plans to incorporate the contributions of all
brothers. This also includes you, our graduate brothers. Your
input in the area of rush this year is as important as in years
past. We need a group of young men who have shown their
academic, leadership, athletic, and brotherhood qualities
through accomplishments during high school. As a graduate
brother, if you know of any man who has the potential to make
a good Phi Gam, please let us know. You can use the rush recom
mendation card, or contact me personally.
Under Chairman Pat Faessler, KO Fijis have totaled over
750 hours of community service in the first two years alone. In
doing so, we have received the attention of local newspapers and
radio in the form of articles and interviews. And we have
established ourselves as one of the top community service frater
nities on campus.
An increase in awareness of campus activity opportunities
has occurred because of the creation of a campus activity com
mittee. Under Chairman Andy Orear, the committee has worked
to seek out information and inform the undergradute brothers
of extracurricular activities that will improve their collegiate
educations. The committee has also helped to get the Fiji name
on campus and improve interfraternity relations, as well as in
In preparing for fall rush, we have already sent letters to over
1500 potential Beavers. The entire undergraduate brotherhood
took part in "All-State Rush," which occurred May 7-8. During
crease service to the university.
All-State Rush, we contacted all recommended incoming
freshmen, as well as others we thought would make good Fijis.

for this year's rush program, please feel free to contact me this

of Kappa Omicron Chapter have united and developed one of

liability, and alcohol education. Hopefully, our combined efforts,
in cooperation with the OLCC, will make the OSU Greek system
safer and more aware.

Spotlight on Paul Louis,'87-1135
Finances Are in Order at KG
Phi Gamma Delta's international headquarters, in its quest
for three field secretaries to fill two-year terms, has chosen KO's
The financial status at Kappa Omicron is quite stable once
again. The house has been filled to near capacity for both fall
and winter terms, and we have 61 live-ins spring term. The
1987-88 housebill totaled $2,680, which is slightly higher than
the campus average of $2,550. Our additional cost is justified
with the excellent condition of the physical plant and other
benefits not offered by comparable fraternities. Some good news
Paul Louis, '87-1135, as one of those men.
The field secretary position is one which requires the per
son to spend three to four days with a chapter, addressing its
weak points and advising it on how to improve its standing. The
job is an excellent oppportunity to expand on leadership and
^ communications skills which
will come in handy in the
for the undergraduates is that there will be little if any increase
in next year's budget, provided we maintain full capacity. Rush
is going well under the direction of our new rush chairman, Craig
Barry, and it looks as though we will have a full house again
next fall.
Out of 25 applicants for
the job, Paul was chosen for
J
L
one of the three positions after
being flown to headquarters in
Lexington, KY, for a weekend
of interviews and meetings, ineluding an Archons' meeting.
Here at Kappa Omicron,
Paul
has
involved with the chapter, turnfrom
what it has developed into to
day. He served IV2 years as house manager and has held posi
tions or chairmanships on almost every committee in the chapter
during his five years at Kappa Omicron.
Paul has also been active on campus, being Greek Week
chairman for the past two years. He holds one of the top three
cumulative GPAs in the chapter, and has an easy, outgoing per
sonality which makes him a friend to everyone.
The men of Kappa Omicron are very proud to have Paul
chosen for this position, which makes two field secretaries chosen
from Kappa Omicron within the last four years! Fraternally, —
Gerald Van Zandt
In addition to having a new rush chairman, we also have
just elected John MacLean as assistant treasurer. John is a
finance major who is really enthused about the job. He should
prove to be a great asset, and hopefully next year, a great
treasurer.
Thanks to your generous donations and the KG Board, we
now have a Macintosh SE computer which should enable us to
soon break completely away from a paid bookkeeper. This should
help to increase the efficiency of the chapter financial system.
I have found this position to be a challenging one, and the
advice and support of graduate brothers is always appreciated.
When I took this position, I inherited a rather large number of
outstanding graduate accounts receivable totaling slightly over
$7,200. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to resolve this
problem, I would gratefully accept your ideas. Fraternally, —
Robert Burket, Treasurer
Community Service Big with Fijis
Community service at Kappa Omicron has found a new
meaning. The Fiji men set out to win the Thanes Trophy, a trophy
given to the fraternity pledge class that makes the largest overall
contribution to the community. Unfortunately, we fell a little short
of this goal, but we have already begun the quest for this award
next year.
We would like to recognize the follow
ing brothers who hove recentiy married:
In the past year at Kappa Omicron, we experienced 100percent participation in our activities. The cooperation by the
chapter as a whole gave us the opportunity to get involved in
many activities in the Corvallis community. Fijis were involved
in projects such as the YW/VMCA Big Brother Program. This
program asks that a brother give some of his time on a weekly
basis to an underprivileged child in the community and act as
a "big brother." Our chapter actively participated in cheese and
butter distribution to low-income people, and we also were in

The brothers of Kappa Omicron also participated in "Stars
Behind Bars" to benefit the March of Dimes. Kappa Omicron
also participated in several food drives, including "Let's Bag
Hunger" and the statewide "Supermarket Saturday" in which
the KO Chapter helped the Corvallis Safeway raise more food
for the needy than any other Safeway in the state of Oregon.
We have made a quest for excellence at Kappa Omicron.
The Fijis have become one of the leaders on the Oregon State
campus. Our work in the community only goes to show our com
mitment to this quest. Fraternally, — Pat Faessler, Community/
Service Chairman

Moms' Weekend a Wonderful Time
This year's Moms' Weekend once again proved to be one
of Kappa Omicron's social highlights of spring term. Our chapter
enjoyed an exceptional turnout with nearly all Fiji moms in at
tendance. The weekend of activities required extensive planning
by Brother Jeff Pulicella, Housemother Elaine Krohn, and Cook
Judy Prindel. Thanks to their efforts, the result was a great time
for moms and Fijis alike.
The annual Moms' Weekend Fiji Auction was a huge suc
cess. Lots of trinkets and Phi Gamma Delta paraphernalia were
auctioned off to raise money for chapter house improvements.
This year, the Moms'Club raised over $4,000 from the auction
and annual dues. Tentative plans for the money include the
replacement of all draperies on the first floor, a possible revamp
ing of the ladies' powder room, and some paint for the first-floor
walls. Thanks, moms!
For the first time in three years, the Fiji moms had the
pleasure of watching their sons perform in the 1988 IFC Sing.
Phi Gamma Delta teamed up with Chi Omega in a travel theme,
calling their group "The Chi O-Fiji Express." The group of 45
men and women performed their rendition of songs including
"Route 66,""Sentimental Journey,""Hit the Road, Jack,""King
of the Road," and "Side by Side." The Chi O's and Fijis can be
proud of their performance, as they placed in the upper half of
the acts. All in all, this year's Moms' Weekend was enjoyable
and memorable for all involved. A special thanks again to the
moms. Moms' Club officers, and IFC singers for all their hard
work. Their efforts assured a Moms' Weekend success and the
continuation of a great tradition here at Kappa Omicron. Frater

Club has just opened, and we are spending a lot of our spare
time at this facility trying to burn off the calories from the famous
Las Vegas buffets. As you might expect, waterfowl hunting here
in the desert is a bit slim, and our black Labrador, Wally, isn't
getting much of a workout. Actually, at age eight he is really
getting ready for retirement and some sunshine. Diane has com
pleted her well-earned sabbatical and just started in a new posi
tion as director of human resources with ATI Medical, Inc. They
are one of the many start-up firms based here in Las Vegas and
have over 40 offices nationwide. The firm rents medical equip
ment to hospitals and TV/movie studios. It's always nice to hear
from old friends and students at OSU. While 1 was never a
member of the Oregon State chapter, many of my better students
were, and it's good to hear how they are doing. Thanks again
for keeping in touch." He can be reached by writing the Depart
