Buckeye Fiji Omicron Deuteron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity at The Ohio State University Columbus,Ohio Omicron Deuteron: The under graduate Reachina New Levels of brothers Greatness By Jonathan L. Penn '92, Chapter President The new school year got off to a flying start when Omicron Deuteron successfully initiated 24 eager men as pledges.Led by the efforts of rush chairman John Pritchard '92, Ohio State Fiji saw one of its strongest rushes in the past few years, despite the decrease in numbers of men going through rush. The exciting spirit continued to grow around the Fiji house as we were paired with the ladies of Tri-Delt as homecoming partners. This was a long-awaited reunion since we were last paired alnx>st four years ago. Fall 1990 ended with the election of the new cabinet of officers. Six very enthusiastic men are now filling some very big shoes left by the previous cabinet. The new officers started 1991 off strong by having a cabinet retreat with Purple Legionnaire Kameron de Vente'86. At this meeting, over 100 obtainable goals were established which the cabinet is working hard to achieve. With our determination and strength, these goals should all be reached. In addition to an early cabinet retreat, 1991 has been full of outstanding effort by the OSU Fijis. In keeping with the tradition of strong community service. Philanthropy Chair man Dan Sennsenbrenner'92 has been working hard to keep the community service trophy that we regained last year. This year, our annual Queen of Hearts pageant will have a new twist: The winner will receive a $1,500 modeling contract. The prize has boosted interest in the pageant and total money raised is estimated to exceed $5,000. Also,the brothers have been collecting Big Bear grocery store receipts and donating them to the Indianola Elementary School to help them get computers through a program called "Apples for Students." So far our efforts have been quite rewarding as we have raised over$6,000 in receipts. The new year is looking very bright and with continued support from our House Corporation, BCA,and the mem bers of the chapter itself, Fiji will thrive and reach new levels of greatness. Homecoming 1990 A fun-filled weekend for everyone! By John P. Altfere '93, Corresponding Secretary Homecoming weekend, October 26-27, 1990, was a fun-filled event for everyone. The festivities began on Friday night with our annual Pig Dinner, which was held at DaVinci's Ristorante. Former OSU and Cleveland Brown football player Dick Schafrath was our guest speaker. We were pleased to have well over 100 graduate brothers in attendance and we hope to see even more next year! Paired with the Tri-Delts for homecoming week, we constructed a float for the parade. The float had "Fiji" and Delta Delta Delta imprinted on the side of it, along with our depiction of Brutus Buckeye kicking a field goal on the top. As for homecoming day itself, the day started out with a pre-game brunch at the house. It was great to see some of the graduate brothers mixing and having a good time with the undergraduate brothers. The festivities continued at Ohio Stadium where the Buckeyes crushed the Golden Gophers of fulinnesota 52-23. This menrwrable week was capped off with a homecoming dance at Jackson Lake.
