Two other members of Lambda Nu in attendance were Trustees. Jerry Solo mon is currently serving as the House Corporation president.

Some of the brothers sow the Toronto Bluejoys and the Boston Red Sox ploy at Exhibition Stadium. The night l ife in Toronto was great also. There were many bars located within walking distance for the brothers. Lambda Nu had many proud moments at the Ekklesia in Toronto. It was the culmination of a lot of hard work at the chapter house here in Lincoln. At this time we would l ike to invite our graduate brothers down to the house to look at the awards we have on display and to meet the brothers. Hopefully, we wi l l have more awards to pick up at the next Ekklesia, to be held in New Orleans. \r\nPRESIDENTS MESSAGE ternities.
