PHI GAMMA DELTA Hutcheson Takes Wilkinson Award Accomplishing many new goals and meeting high expectations during the previous semester, the Delta Deuteron chapter has distinguished itself as one of Phi Gamma Delta's finest. However, the journey has been tedious and has required the talents and leadership of numerous brothers working together toward a common goal. This common goal to HAMPDEN-SYDNEirC-6EI5Be^™ PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Brothers, Delta Deuteron ended last year with much success. The fraternity was the number one fraternity ^ademically during the last semester, third in intramvfrals, and won a $1,000 Home Improvement Award from the College for the best house improvements over the year. The chapter's success con tinued into the summer and this year as well. At the Fiji Academy our chapter won the John Templeton Mc- 'VPSPI national recognition from 1.

Everyone does have their faults,after all. The best thing about this is that the good qualities in a person almost always outweigh the The college days of a fraternity man are predominently filled with enjoyable experiences; however, more somber days tend to occassionally and inevitably occur. bad. The bad side is usually given no more than a passing The unity of a fraternity is strengthened not only by the good ex|^riences but also by the bad ones. Such was the thought. case earlier this year for Delta Deuteron. At one point in your life there comes along a group of friends that collectively and individually have)^ virtually no bad faults. To find any is not only tedious nut difficult. Such is the Delta Deuteron Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Although we are only extremely active during our undergraduate years, the bonds that are established go a long way beyond the four years spent in coll^^they last for life. For some reason, there exists a xhemistry between the members.There is no explanantion for this, nor should there have to be. It suffices to say that the chemistry is there and that as time goes on the friend ships become closer although the distance is farther. When that friendship is lost, especially because of death, nothing can be done but to think of the person's good side. Such is the situation with Nils Green. Never have I met someone who cared so much about so many people. I will never forget doing the little things with Nils during our pledge period. Some of these include our pledge project of trying to fix the furniture, the discussions at dinner (although the topic was never important to remember),the stories he told about his life in Mobile,at McCaullie, or the spring he spent in Baja, California. Nils did not have the easiest time at Hampden- Though the chapter has enjoyed one of its best years ever, it was also faced by the loss of one of its brothers. This single event brought the chapter closer together than all of its successes combined.On September 5,1985, Walter Nils Green III '85 died while mountain climbing in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Nils was the type of brother that would put anything aside to help another brother. He was the type of indi vidual who would always try to turn a negative situation into a positive one. Nils' brotherly love and generosity can be witnessed by the tales that each brother can relate of how Nils touched his life. Nils will be sincerely missed. He died while participating in a sport that exemplified his own great love for the outdoors. I do not believe in my mind that any human could choose a better ending to their life that wold suit them any better.He died not in vain but in pursuit of a personal love. I believe that the only tragedy of his death is that of his youth. 1 know that I will always remember Nils for what he did for the fraternity. He was loved by everyone he knew and his love will be missed. Everyone in the chapter will remember Nils for all of the happy memo ries that he generated. Even though life itself can come and go, the memory of it is eternal. Sydney, but he had one thing that kept him going: Persistence. Ted Cox '86 Brother Calvin Coolidge had this to say about per sistence: Permtence mid determination alone are omnipotent, the slogan "Press On" has and always will solve the problems of the human race. Nils Green had to be one of the most persistent people I have ever known. Never was he in a bad mo^, although the situation was not always particularly bright and rosy. It was his love of the Fraternity and of the great outdoors that made Nils Green, my pledge and fraternity brother, one person that I will always love and never forget. He had nothing but good in him, may he rest in I would like to thank graduates for returning their information sheets that were sent out in the fall. Your correspondence is a very valuable source of graduate news and is greatly appreciated.
