From the Fiji Building Association
Since retaining well known preservation
architect Arlan Kay last spring, our building
committee has met with him numerous
times throughout the summer and fall. The
committee consists of Paul Graven, an archi-
tect; myself,a professional engineer; Robin
Carley and Curt Madsen, Fijis with con-
struction experience; and a number of
brothers from different “eras” and with vary-
ing backgrounds as well as Scott Schlesner
anc. Steve Messiter, the current President
and reasurer of Mu chapter. Many of our
meet.gs have taken place at 16 Langdon
and have enabled us to obtain valuable input
from brothers currently living in the house.
On homecoming weekend we approved
schematic plans for the entire project. Color
graphics illustrating these plans were dis-
played at the house that weekend and
oeceived very positive comments. We be-
‘eve we have planned a complete project,
considering such diverse functions such as:
motorcycle parking, housemother’s apart-
ment, quiet gatherings in the reception
Dick Pearson '62
room, study room, living quarters, food
preparation, large parties in Great Hall and
the barroom, as well as plumbing, heating,
windows and the roof.
Now we are attempting to prioritize the
various elements of the plan, in order to
accomplish the most important items next
summer, with the funds available. This is
difficult since everything seems to be an
immediate need! We will be able to report
very specific plans at Pig Dinner next spring.
We are happy to report that a full com-
pliment of brothers (46) are living in the
house and these men are taking exceptional
care of it. This is exceptional since the only
work done is tuckpointing, fire alarm system
and new bathrooms. The cabinet and all of
the undergraduate members have been easy
to Work with, both as brothers and as
tenants. We believe this bodes well for the
care and respect which will be required our
newly renovated house beginning next fall.
We are very encouraged by the continu-
ing fund-raising activities of the Landmark
Preservation Association, headed by John
Borman. We are attempting to make the
fund-raising effort easier by planning practi-
cal and thorough use of the TAX DE-
DUCTIBLE funds raised, demonstrating to
all brothers that any contribution will be
well spent. In turn our planning effort has
become easier, as it appears that we may
indeed be able to accomplish much of the

Jim “Bucky Badger’ Freytag
James Freytag ‘86
Outside of the fraternity life, the univer-
sity offers many activities that the brothers
can become involved with. These activities
range from student organizations and groups
to athletic teams, student government, and
clubs. Perhaps one of the most exciting
extra-curricular activities can be found at
Camp Randall football stadium on Saturday
afternoons. Over the years many brothers
have represented Phi Gamma Delta and the
University of Wisconsin by participating in
athletics, the cheerleeding squad and Bucky
Badger, our mascot. In the last five years
there have been five brothers representing
the university as Bucky. The newest member
to this group is brother Jim Freytag (‘86).
After the tryouts last spring, three students
were chosen to share the duties of Bucky
Badger. Besides the main exposure and fun
Bucky gets at football games, the job gets
quite demanding. Bucky participates in
parades, fund raisers, conventions, hockey,
basketball games and countless other ap-
pearances. It becomes quite difficult some-
times to find time to accomplish other things
with the massive time commitment of
Bucky. After all of this, why would anyone
want to become Bucky Badger?
“It’s very exciting representing the univer-
sity and especially performing before 78,000
fans at Camp Randall” says brother Freytag.
“The work is long and hard at a football
game, but the thrill of being Bucky Badger,
making the fans go crazy and seeing the
children smile makes all of the work worth
it.”
Most fans have a high regard for Bucky
Badger. People of all ages seem to be able to
relate to him when they meet him, hug him
and shake his hand.
Children come up to Bucky wondering if
he is real. They cuddle up to him at sporting
events, parades or wherever they see him
and in their minds, he is real.
Children love to be near Bucky, but some-
times they come too close and accidentally
get run over. Children aren’t the only ones
that get run over. At one game brother Frey-
tag was running on the field and ran over a
camera man causing him to fall over his,
chair. oO
Between the three Bucky’s, they put in an
average of ten to fifteen hours a week over
the course of the semester. Bucky is a lot of
work but the benefits reaped far exceed the
effort put in.
Watch for Bucky at the next University of
Wisconsin event, he may just be your
brother.
“King Bucky” Freytag
James Edwards ‘88
On November first, Jim “Bucky Badger”
Freytag was elected to represent the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and Phi Gamma Delta as
homecoming king 1985. Jim was selected
from over 50 applicants and judged on the
basis of scholarship, devotion to the school,
devotion to groups, personality and looks.
We are all very proud of brother Freytag
and all believe that he exemplifies the ideal
Fiji. As he was given the award, we could
see the black diamond being displayed on
the white tuxedo and his grin showing his
pride in representing his fraternity and his
university as homecoming king 1985.
Brother Freytag, we all bid you a heart.
purple congratulations and wish you the best
of luck in the future. You have made us all
very proud!

The True Meaning of the Sires and Sons
David Keck ‘88
There exists an organization in Phi
Gamma Delta known as the “Sires and
Sons” which is composed of fathers and sons
who are both members of Phi Gamma
Delta. It was established in 1925 by six men
including former president, Calvin Coolidge.
Since the founding of the organization there
have been many Sires and Sons at Mu chap-
ter. Among these brothers is David K. Keck
who has not only his father but his grand-
father. In the first generation was Pete Keck
in the class of ‘33. The second generation
was William K. Keck as well as his brother
Richard Keck in classes of ‘61 and ‘62
respectively. And finally David K. Keck,
who is Bill’s son, is in the class of ‘88.
Pete Keck was originally from Water-
town, Wisconsin and came to Madison in
1930. Pete was actively involved in the fra-
ternity from ‘31 to ‘33. He was noted for his
frequent trips to Okauchee, Wisconsin where
he picked up “White Lightning” for his Fiji
brothers during the prohibition years. He
later graduated with degrees in journalism
and fine arts. For forty years Pete ran his
own advertising agency in Oconomowoc,
Wisconsin called The Keck Advertising
Agency. For years he was involved in activi-
ties such as skiing and sailing. Pete is now
retired and resides on the shores of Lake
LaBelle in Oconomowoc.
William Keck too went to Madison and
became a Phi Gam. After being the Fiji
house treasurer his senior year, he graduated
with a business degree in 1961. He is now
treasurer of Fiberesin Industries and presi-
dent of Komponents in Oconomowoc. Bill
is actively involved with sailing and skiing
and is the father of two daughters and one
son, Dave.
Richard Keck followed Bill in going to
Madison and becoming a Phi Gam. Dick
graduated with degrees in both electrical
engineering and business in 1962. Dick
worked with his father, Pete, in the advertis-
ing company and later with Hoffman and
York out of Milwaukee. Dick now runs his
own advertising agency in Oconomowoc.
He is known to many as being an excellemt
ski jumper as well as a fine sailor.
Dave Keck, seeing his well directed rela-
tives, decided to give Madison a try. He
became a Phi Gam his freshman year (on
2/2/85 with the Elite 18) and is now a
sophomore studying business. Dave is an
active skier and sailor in his free time. Dave
has future intentions of majoring in business
administration and possibly a minor in
economics.
There were other Kecks as well who were
part of the Mu chapter of Phi Gamma Delta.
Bill’s cousin, John Keck, was in the class of
‘55 and his son Kevin was in the class of ‘82.
There are presently a number of under-
graduate brothers at the Mu chapter who
have Fiji sires. Among these brothers is
Mike Deweerdt ‘86 and Keneth R. Deweerdt
‘60, Mike Lutz ‘86 and Richard Lutz ‘57,
Jim M. Freytag ‘86 and Jim E. Freytag’58,
Scott Simon ‘87 and Ron Simon ‘63 of the
Gamma Phi chapter at Penn State, Jamie
Doar ‘86 and E. James Doar ‘49, Dan Blu-
thardt ‘87 and Edward Bluthardt ‘65, Andy
Boehm ‘88 and Todd G. Boehm ‘65, Jim
Cope ‘88 and G. Richard Cope ‘56, and
John Sowersby ‘86 and David Sowersby ‘59
of the Lambda chapter at DePauw. It is
good to see that new generations of Fijis are
rising up from fine Phi Gam leaders of the
past. This will help guide further develop-
ment of an already strong international fra-
ternity into an even better organization built
on tradition and pride keeping in mind that
the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta is “Not
for college days alone.”
As for the future, the new fall pledge class
has a few members who have the opportun-
ity of becoming sons in the Sires and Sons
organization. This will of course keep the
Sires and Sons tradition growing larger. And
who knows, mabye Dick Keck’s son, Peter,
who is now a junior in high school will
someday become a Phi Gam.
Brothers That Are Brothers
Chris Miller ‘87
There are over 100 men who call them-
selves brothers at the Mu chapter of Phi
Gamma Delta at the University of Wiscon-
sin. It took this brotherhood to tie together
brothers of another sense. I am speaking of a
relationship between three young men who
have grown up and spent their entire lives
together. The fraternity has brought our rela-
tionship to what it is today. As children we
shared the love of our family through good
times as well as those times that were trying
and difficult. It took the times living together
here in our second home until our relation-
ships truly blossomed to their fullest
potentials.
As I look back on my early days of col-
lege, the respect I had for my older brother
brought me in to the fraternity that gives me
much the same care that my family at home
does. Why did my older brother, Joe, like
this fraternity more than others? What made
this house different from the rest? It took me
an entire pledgeship and a year in the house
to realize what being a Phi Gam brother
really meant. More importantly perhaps is
the new relationships that I developed with
my older brother Joe and my younger
brother Dan. When Dan was pledging I
took him under my wing and made certain
that he learned his history and became
involved. In doing this, a special bond deve-
loped between us. At several cleanups we
worked and talked together about subjects
that we never had before because it took
twenty years and a fraternity bond for a
closeness to develop that was beyond our
blood-brotherhood. It was an experience .
that I will never forget. Words can never
express how much I care for my blood
brothers and my fraternity brothers.
I sincerly hope that more can experience
this great bond that I know.
Glory to Phi Gamma Delta eternal!

Phi Gam’s Will Have Unusual Frat Builc

The Daily Cardinal,
If the plans of the Phi Gamma Delta
fraternity are carried out, the U. of W. chap-

most unique of all of the greek letter houses.
Pending the sale of their famous old
colonial house on 501 N. Henry St., the
fraternity proposes to build anew on the site
at present occupied by the residence of C.R.
Carpenter, 16 Langdon St.
It is said that the new building will cost
approxomately $80,000. Plans have been
prepared by Frank Lloyd Wright, Wiscon-
sin architect of international fame. The

Challenge to the ornory laymen of the
dirty second floor gang of the Mu chapter of
Phi Gamma Delta.
We the high and mighty Lords of the
dwelling of Mu chapter of Phi Gamma
Delta considering ourselves superior and
unconquered in the fascinating and highly
technical sport of basketball do hereby and
herein on this 27 day of Feb. in the year of
our Lord 1923, condescend to give the Tort
Feasors on the second floor of our dwelling
built and situated on Blackacre, 521 N.
Henry St. a chance to assert their fictitious
claim of title to the basketball champion-
ship now claimed and held by the Lords of
the third floor... the prize will be a T-bone
steak dinner of which the losers will pay the
price of said steak which will be cooked and
served by the regularly employed servants of
Mu chapter. And let it be known to all
concerned that the winners will be pro-
nounced and proclaimed throughout the
land as champions of basketball in Mu chap-
ter of Phi Gamma Delta, their claim to the
title being sole and undisputed.

marked in the new Phi Gamma Delta home
here. The limitations of the site led him to
design a building of exceptional length,
which will be built stepwise because of the
steep slope of the property from Langdon St.
to the Mendota lake shore.
The house will contain 23 student bed-
rooms and five guest rooms. A chaperon’s
suite will be an unusual feature of the new
home, and a guest dormitory will provide
quarters for returning brothers.
Three stories in height on the Langdon St.
facade, the building will present toward the
if rontage a rear wing of similar size. The
i or of the latter wing will consist chiefly
ot an immense hall three stories in height, to
be used for social functions.
Challenge
Editor's note: Challenges within the frater-
nity go back a long way. A correspondence
in 1923 was made between the third floor
and the second floor of 501 N. Henry. The
first correspondence was neatly typed out,
folded and sent. The response was neatly
gped on a roll of toilet paper.

Whereas, in the natural course of humane
events and with the casual passing of time, it
has come about that a certain group of pres-
tidigitarious and garrulous BOYS, otherwise
looked upon as having been priviledged to
enjoy residence upon the third floor of Mu
chapter house, Number of 521, street of

And Whereas, it is now altogether and
fitting that at this time that all men should
come to the aid of their country, we stoop to
lift the BOYS from the depths to which they

wish to thank them for this T-bone steak

Report From the Treasurer
Steve Messiter ‘86
The financial situation at the Mu Chapter
is the best that it has been for a number of
years. With 46 brothers living in the house
we have full capacity for the first time in a
number of years. This increased revenue has
enabled us to do many activities around the
house that we have not been able to do in
many years. Our food budget is proportion-
ally higher than ever before and smaller pro-
jects around the house that haven’t been
done because of lack of funds can now be
done.
This year I have established a finance
committee to aid in collecting bills and to
learn about this position. The brothers on
this committee are Todd Huss, Greg Hohn-
stein, Joe McGinnis, Dave Miller, Dan Blu-
thardt and Andy Falci. They have all partic-
ipated in the committee in their own way
and have all been a great help to make this
job much easier.
Much time and effort have been put in by
all involved in the project of collecting
overdue bills and the general financial main-
tenance of this chapter. I thank Scott
Schlesner and the rest of the cabinet that
have helped me make this position success-
ful and much easier. Cooperation is the key
to getting things done and I have that and
more from my brothers.

in football, soccer and volleyball going into
the playoffs. After coming off a third place
last year in the Badger Bowl, our local sport-
ing league, we have been catapulted into our
seasons striving for league championships in
all sports showing our Fiji pride.
Last year we won the league champion-
ship in hockey and took a second in basket-
ball. This year we hope to take many more
league championships.

It’s quite easy to lose track of ones priori-
ties while away at college. It’s happened for
years, to thousands of students, and it will
continue to happen. This year, the Mu chap-
ter of Phi Gamma Delta is initiating a new
scholarship program designed to improve
the brothers’ grade point averages by
emphasizing the importance and time needed
to realize their maximum academic po-
tential.
The spring semester of ‘85 proved to be a
fairly successful one. The house maintained
a 2.76 average. Although this is above the all
men’s average at the University of Wiscon-
sin of 2.63, there is indeed room for improve-
ment. Incentives have been developed to

the house.
An extensive test file compiled over the
years is being updated with current exams so
the brothers can get ideas of what to expect
from future tests in a given class. Study
groups have been formed to encourage the
brothers and pledges to study together. A
tutorial system will soon be getting under-
way where each brother will receive a list of
courses in which the others major or possess
a good working knowlege. An individual
having trouble in a given course can consult
someone for help.
In the future this magazine will feature
one brother who, in the minds of the-broth-
ers, has achieved academic excellence. We
are proud of our chapter and raising our
academic standards is just one more way to
show that Mu of Phi Gamma Delta is the
best fraternity on campus.
FIJI ACADEMY 1985
Group Effort by Participants
On August tenth 1985, a contigency of six
brothers including President Scott
Schlesner, Treasurer Steve Messiter, Histo-
rian John Sowersby, Dan Miller, Andy
Falci, and Tim Zandstra left Madison for
Columbus Ohio and the nineteenth Fiji
Academy, a training ground for chapter
leaders and a meeting place for ideas among
the members of the fraternity. The objective
of the academy has always been to make the
fraternity’s creed a living reality with each
Phi Gam chapter by enhancing the existing
leadership qualities while developing the
leadership potential of the other chapter
members.
Before our group of brothers reached
Columbus, we were treated to the gracious
hospitality of the home of brother Dick
Pearson in Dayton, Ohio. After spending
several hours visiting the Pearson Family,
everyone was put to bed. Before we left the
next morning we were treated to an exhibi-
tion of fine waterskiing talents by brother
Pearson and his son Rick.
Upon our arrival at Ohio State University
each delegate received a tightly packed
schedule of activities to keep us busy during
the course of the next four days. All of us
were split up into our rooms and given the
chance to meet brothers from all over the
continent.
In accordance with the main reasons
behind the academy, a four part program
was prepared by Robert T. “Sonny” Davis
(Texas ‘52). Brother Davis is President of the
National Leadership Methods, and one of
America’s foremost authorities on leader-
ship training. His program did an excellent
job in teaching the theory of leadership
while providing us with practical examples
so that we can perform more effectively as
leaders. This experience had a very positive
effect on motivating our group of delegates
to use this information for our good and our
respective chapters. Other programs includ-
ed “The Natural History of the Phi Gam
Alcoholic” presented by Brother Michael
Kirkland (Washington ‘61), “Legal Liabili-
ties” presented by William S. Garner, Jr.,
General counsel. In addition to these major
presentations, we all attended many other
smaller presentations in our groups such as
chapter publications and membership re-
cruitment, scholarship, chapter publica-
tions, community relations and public ser-
vice. Some of our nightly activities were
historic events such as a Norris Pig Dinner
and a mock initiation.
Oug stay in Columbus ended August 15
and we all made it back to Madison in one
piece. All in all this experience was a great
chance for all of us to pick up fresh ideas to
bring to our chapter and a great chance to
meet brothers from all over the country. The
nineteenth annual Fiji Academy is an ex-
perience that none of us will soon forget.

Fall Pledge Class 1985
George Katsekes ‘89
The pledge class for the fall of 1985 is a
group of 21 men ranging from new freshmen
to juniors and ages from 18 to 25. We are an
active group of men with representation on
J.V. hockey and basketball and varsity crew.
We count on the experience and leadership
of our older pledge brothers to lead us
through our pledgeship.
Pete Campbell, one of our freshman
pledge brothers, is on varsity crew. He
wakes up six days a week at 5:00 and works
out for two hours. His hands last week were
absolutely raw from pulling an oar. He is
quite the epitome of dedication to both his
university and the fraternity to which he is
pledged.
James “Jimmy” Hill, from Chicago, is an
industrial engineer who is competing for a
spot on varsity basketball. Jimmy is a hard
worker and is very popular among the
brothers. At every wakeup and party, one
can see Jimmy teaching us to dance to some
Jeff Purnell ‘88
Chicago style funk, the brothers find him
very entertaining. He seems to be popular
with the women too.
Jeff Purnell, the “Old man” of the pledge
class (He’s 25!) is a sophomore from Madi-
son playing J.V. hockey and pursuing a pre-
business degree.
“Wild Bill” Nehrkorn, a freshman from
Mequon is a man to watch. Bill is majoring
in zoology and is a study animal. You can
find Bill in three places; Classes, his desk, or
at the fraternity house. He is a model pledge
with a proper balance between his social life
and his school life. We all look forward to
his leadership in the future.
We all have pledged this fraternity to
participate in a group. Some have pledged
out of curiosity. Some have pledged to find
friends. Some have pledged to become
members of the Sires. and Sons, but all have
pledged to become brothers one day.
Parents’ Day 1985
Chris Carroll ‘88
On Saturday October nineteenth, Mu
chapter had its bi-annual Parents’ day.
Although the football game proved to be a
major disappointment with the Badgers los-
ing to the Northwestern Wildcats by three
points. After the game our spirits were
picked up by Earl’s great hors d'oeuvres and
an open bar.
Invitations were sent out three weeks
prior to the event to all parents of in-house
brothers and pledges.
The production began at 4:30 after the
game and started with greetings from the
brothers to the parents. Pledges’ parents saw
the house for the first time and were natu-
rally impressed. The brothers and pledges
worked Saturday before and during the
game making sure that all the floors were
waxed and shined just like they were back in
1927.
Allin all the day went very well and much
thanks is due to all who participated. Fire
up, if we keep up this kind of intensity and
dedication to everything we do, we will
continue to be unstoppable on this campus.

work needed to reestablish 16 Langdon
Street as the finest fraternity house any-
where!
Obviously, none of the above activities
could be accomplished without considera-
ble support from many graduate brothers.
This is especially true since I live about 450
miles from Madison, and cannot be person-
ally involved with each fire inspection, hot
water heater replacement, hiring of new
cook, etc., etc. I believe more graduate
brothers are participating in or assisting with
activities at 16 Langdon than ever before.
This has been my goal for many years, for as
each additional brother gets involved, the
time required for each of us is less.
I believe we are truly headed BACK TO
THE FUTURE and I remain: “mighty
proud to be a FIJI.

while still building for the machine’s future.
We are in the midst of our respective sea-

glory of Phi Gamma Delta. We, in brother-
hood, are working on and off the athletic
fields to know victory and defeat in develop-
ing our individual characters.

Note From The Editor
James Edwards ‘88
Amazingly Mu Mumbles is back! After a
year of absence it has returned. Much time
and care was put into this edition and the
editor would like to take this time to thank
all of those that contributed to it’s com-
pletion.
As an undergraduate brother involved in
the fraternity, I have had the chance to get to
know several graduate brothers through
their involvement. Brothers Dick Pearson,
Gary Ross, John Kienau and Joseph Miller
have all given of their time freely to this
house. We all appreciate their care and
would hope that many more brothers read-
ing this article would become household
words too.
This morning at 7:00 as we were building
our float for homecoming, a weary brother
Pearson walked up to the house and joined

us in a bloody mary. I think that he wanted
to climb right up on that float with us and
pound nails right with us. I wish he did. We
could have used the help. He has given us all
so much of his time in the restoration pro-
gram of the house and we wish to thank him
and all of those who have contributed in
whatever way, shape or form to the Building
Association.
T encourage brothers and their families to
come down and visit us whenever you are
near and see if that composite from 1959,
“69 or ‘79 is still on the wall in the Space
Center. Perhaps good memories of the
Snark Deck, the hate launcher, the barroom
or that special Kappa girl will come back. I
know we all are making them now. Come
share with us your good times. We look
forward to seeing you. PERGE.
