The combination of warm Spring sunshine, some sporting volleyball between the grads and undergrads, a touch of our favorite ‘social-elixir’, and down-right great friends added-up to something just short of a religious experience. Well, almost! Seriously though, the weekend was valuable to the undergraduates in that we were able to meet brothers with a real perspective on some of the issues that confront us. Things haven't changed that much since you guys graduated. And it's sometimes nice to hear those ‘past perspectives’ on issues that up to then the undergrads thought were uniquely their own... In the same light, the undergraduates and pledges were especially impressed with the brotherhood exemplified by all of the graduate brothers. It's ‘fraternally inspiring’ to know that the graduate brothers of Epsilon Chi care so much about their chapter, and its long-run stability. Thank you brothers. During the dinner, brother William ‘Billy’ Martin Ill, our fraternity’s Executive Director, and Dr. Drury Bagwell, ex-UWEC Dean of Students, shared their perspectives on the future of fraternities in general, and the founding days of Epsilon Chi. A very hearty “Thanks!” must be given to both of them for traveling all the way to Eau Claire. Also, thanks to all of you “™> graduates who contributed to the Epsilon Chi Endowment and Computer funds during your visit! The computer fund is up to approximately $1,000 and a system will be purchased in the very near future! Take care brothers! Hope to see you all at this Summer's Reunion, July 10, 11, 12! = ere) Fraternally, Will Porter ’87 \r\nMESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Greetings, from the Epsilon Chi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta. Your chapter is ever on an incline and is still going higher. A great deal of credit goes to the undergraduates, but you as graduates have shown tremendous support. The graduate support includes: a more involved Board of Chapter Advisors, increase attendance to undergraduate/ graduate events, and the monetary support has increased. Currently, the BCA members have been assigned an under- graduate cabinet member that contacts them bi-monthly. The program has a strong start! As most of you know, the 15 year reunion was a big success. All graduates were urged to come back and see their chapter. All chapter aspects are strong, but changes have occurred since 1975. We are moving into the computer gener- ation! According to Brother Frank's last letter, we are purchas- ing a chapter computer. The computer is on its way; it will aid our chapter in many services. The monthly newsletter which was of interest with graduates at the reunion will now be possible. In conclusion, | don’t see how our roller coaster ride could plummet downward; we are starting to get more of you in- volved with PGD again. The Epsilon Chi chapter is your chapter; we will grow with your continued support. Perge! Fraternally John R. Deters ’89 Chapter President 1987-88 Chapter Officers President - John Deters '89 Treasurer - Todd Eberhardt '90 Recording Secretary - Tony Duran '88 Corresponding Secretary - Paul Lindl Historian: Jeff Ongemach '89 (Spring) Bill Staehle '90 (Fall) Fiji Tradition TREASURER’S REPORT Greetings Brothers, After holding the treasurer's office for almost an entire semester now, | feel very good about the progress Epsilon Chi has continued to make. This is a great tribute to a solid cabinet of 5 men working together instead of the leadership of only one or two. The members at large have pulled more than their share of the weight. This year, | tried a new approach to the treasurer's position. With so many of our brothers paying for their tuition out of their own pockets, it soon became apparent that payment plans were needed to those special cases that required extra time to pay off their obligations to the Fraternity. They responded admirably, both in keeping current and in getting ahead when they could. To offset the slowed inflow of cash, we worked harder than ever at fundraising for the chapter. This year our biggest money maker was Spring Break which netted a profit of $3500! Part of the money was used to lower the cost of the trips to an average of less than $45 per person for the 14 brothers that went to South Padre Is. in Texas to enjoy the weather and promote Flul. The rekindled Graduate support has also been well-noticed and grealty appreciated. This is due to an outstanding turnou/ for the 15th Year Reunion and in particular, Graduate brother John Frank. Had it not been for John’s letter to our fellow Graduates, we would not have been able to purchase the new computer that should be sitting in the chapter office by the time this newsletter reaches you. A special thanks goes to Graduate brother Randy Sparling who acts as my financial advisor on the BCA. His support has enabled me to carry out my duties with a great deal of success. Randy truly exemplified the adage that “Phi Gamma Delta is not for college days alone.” | am very optimistic about the future of Phi Gamma Delta at Eau Claire, we have the dreams that see the future and the power to make it happen. Perge! Fraternally yours, Todd Eberhardt '90 Treasurer Undergrads/Grads Mingle \r\nPhi Gamma Delta serves not only as a social fraternity, but also as an educator for its members. One of the many tools which our international fraternity uses for this is the Fiji Academy. oom” The Academy is a week-long series of seminars which will help train officers and memers to better run each chapter. Among the things covered are Rush finances, fundraising, graduate relations and ritual. In August of this year our chapter will send at least four members and officers of Epsilon Chi to the 20th Fiji academy in Columbus, Ohio. Thanks to the brothers who plan to participate - you are the present and future leaders of our chapter. Perge! Fraternally, Jeff Ongemach, '89 Pledge education is well underway and the pledges are doing great. Weekly quizzes have been given from the PUR- PLE PILGRIM and for the most part all are doing exceptionally well. John and | have started a work/study program for the pledges, which entails an hour of mild work around the house (answering the phone, washing dishes, taking out the garbage etc...) and an hour of homework. As we went over our local history and made reference to some of the graduates, many found a clear picture to the past after meeting a good percen- tage at the reunion. They all enjoyed seeing graduates come back and enjoy a weekend at the house, as did |. | think it gave them a part of Fiji that they normally would not have seen. We are all looking forward to seeing you again. : - Perge! Fraternally, Clinton H. Binley '90 Pledge Educator HOUSE MANAGER’S REPORT Dear Brothers, Spring is upon us. Time for short skirts, female sunbathers, good times at the beach, spring semester cramming for finals... and lease signing for the coming year. Our landlord, in his financial wisdom, has required that we assure him of 14 full-year leases by June 1st. So far, we have tentatively assigned 13' of them. In addition, the landlord has proposed a rent increase of $16.50 per month per member with a 10% discount of that amount if paid prior to the 7th of that month. With these conditions met, Dean has agreed to perform certain improvements to the house and listed as conditions to the lease. Here are a few of special note: * House exisrmination service completed by June. * Remodeling of backdoor entrance area. * New combination screen/storm windows installed on those windows not already having them. * Locks installed on house common entrances. There could, of course, always be more done to improve the house but, under the circumstances, these improvements are certainly a step in the right direction. | hope that each of have the opportunity to meet again with you Epsilon Chi undergraduate and graduate brothers during our Summer Reunion. | also hope that a majority of the improvements are completed before then for you to see. If any of you have been House Manager's in the past, | would greatly appreciate any input and suggestions that could help. If you wish to call, my telephone number is 715-834-4733. Here's hoping that you have a more than great summer and that each of you can make it to Summer Reunion. You know that you always have friends and a place to stay here at Epsilon Chi. Perge! Fraternally Yours Bruce L. Winter '88 House Manager Note From The Editor This is the first protag | have created as Corresponding Secretary. In this paper we paid tribute to all the graduate brothers who built Epsilon Chi here at UW-Eau Claire. Seeing it was our 15th Anniversary this year, | tried to spotlight all of the graduates who sent in their graduate questionnaire. If you were not listed, please send yours back so | can start on a graduate directory for next year. Thanks a lot! Perge! Fraternally Paul K.
