The initiation of ten outstanding yoimg men this spring brings the chapter si^e to forty-one. More important than size, however, is the inspiring fra ternal spirit that pervades all chapter functions. Our past retreat and initiation night ceremonies were very suc cessful due, in no small part, to the partibipation of brothers of all ages. The support of many graduate: brothers is continually verifying -ttfe the lasting fratemalism that brothers of Chi Upsilon enjoy. This has undoubtedly been one of the many reasons that we experienced a 100^ affirmative respnse this past year to our invitations to pledges for membership. This is truly an indication of the desirability of fraternity life in Phi Gamma Delta. Although eig^ht brothers will graduate this spring, seven of them plan to remain in the University Community in some capacity next year. This promises increased graduate support next year, but we d like to see our older brothers rekindle that fraternal flame through visits to the Chapter House as well. This year's Pig Dinner and Inter-Fraternity Sing should present graduates with a good oppurtxinity to meet their new undergraduate brothers in addition to a chance to reunite with classmates.
