Sigma Omicron Gets New Purple Legionaire Ever since the recolonization, Sigma Omicron has been without a Purple Tegionaire. Fortunately for us, this role has just been filled. Geoffrey Grabow ('89) was accq)ted to the job and has done an amazingjob at it. He offers advice and insight to our problems and questions. Geoff has become a great friend of this chapter and we thank him gratefully for his unending efforts. If you wish to contact Geoff, his address is: P.O.

The Phi Gam G^ts Elected SGA Vice-president Last week Ryan Welter ('93) was elected the new Vice-President for the student body. Ryan is a sophomore biology major from Tulsa. He was running against two other candidates and needed 50% of the vote to win the election. The results show Ryan receiving about 700 of the 1000votes. It was quite a victory for Ryan and Raina and we all know they will do a fantastic job. Phi Gamma Delta is taking this university by storm and many people are quickly learning that we mean business. \r\nSpring Fever Hits Sigma Omicron Yes, springfever hits again. And therewas only one solution to this disease; Spring Break. As classes aided on Friday, about fifteen of us loaded up our swim trunks and beach towels and headed down to South Padre Island for a Editor's Note Greetings, Brothers. I would like to start off by saying sorry fcff delayingthe newsli^ter for so long. Due to Pig Dinnerand spring breakthe February and Marchissues failed to get sent. So, here is April's. There willrnily be one more newsletter sent before the school year is over with. week of therapy. Thebestpartof thebreak was thedaily Fiji September will be the next issue. The rush chairman will beachparty.

It was an excellentreunionand it markeda time maintain contact over the summer and keep you up to date none of us will forget. Now, aflo" that week we returned from Texas as healthycollege students. Two weeks later our eight Spring pled^K decidedto try the same treatment. They snuckto Six Flags in Texas. I was fortunate enough to escape capture that weekend. However, Jimmie Valentine ('91) was not. Tbe pledges kidnapped him at 4am that Saturday morning. Ryan Welter ('93), sleeping on the lower bunk, was an unfortunate casualty. Awakened by the struggle Ryan at tempted to stop the abduction. In five minutes he was duck taped to the bunk. Jimmie was spirited away secondslater. It was a treautiful sneak, I'll have to admit, and I'm sure their i^ng fever has been satiated. on their activities. I would like to give my personalthanks to all of the Brothers who came to Pig Dinner. Your donations are greatly appreciatedand will help our rush tranoidously. We are having 53 brothers moving into the house next year, so that leaves only a few spaces left open. With the funds we have for rush we should be able to sign about 30-35 men. That could mean up to 80-85 Fijis, 60 of which will be living in house. If this happens our chapter may need to look into obtaining an Annex. Also, I want to plan some more Graduate/Under graduate activitiesthroughoutthe school year so that we can start to get to know each other as friends and Brothers. I had wanted to start these activities before the end of this semes ter but our calendar is booked,as yours probablyis too. So, at the start of next year, I will have an activity so that you can come down,join in and med;our new pledges. Staytuned for more details. , Fijis and Gamma Phis prepare for Spring Sing That's right. Brothers.
