\r\nAs I See It
The Gamma Deuteron Chapter of Phi
Gamma Delta has recently experienced a
major transformation. Twenty-one men
felt that their ideals were unparalleled
with those of the National Fraternity and
decided to drop from the Chapter.
Nine individuals, however, felt that we
would like to make every effort to apply
the meaning of "Fraternity." This num
ber has since increased to twenty-one, all
of who hope to co-ordinate efforts to make
the Gamma Deuteron Chapter once again
a integral part of Phi Gamma Delta.
I would also like to take the opportun
ity to extend our sincere appreciation to
New B.CA.
New Board Of Chapter Advisors
The B.C.A. is a program whereby in
terested graduate members of Phi Gamma
Delta provide structured advisory assist
ance to the Fraternity's undergraduate
chapters. Its purpose is to assist our un
dergraduate chapters in maintaining e.xemplary behavior, high morality, academic
e.xcellence, and a high degree of efficiency
of operation. The B.C.A. is expected to
provide close-in aid in counseling and thus
continuity in the areas of chapter adminis
