The Alpha Phiji News University of Michigan Alpha Phi Chapter of Phi Gamma Delta Volume VI, No.2 January 1990 Ann Arbor, Michigan Finance Report Since my last report, the Alpha Phi chapter's financial position has im proved dramatically. We have started off our fiscal year better than ever be fore. In past years we have had to work hard to stay above water, just barely making it, and in some cases, not mak ing it at all. Now that the house is % enjoying its largest membership ever we are in a position to improve on things we could not have previously consid ered. Many new financial avenues have been opened up at 707. We now have funds budgeted for furniture replace ment, cleaning services, new kitchen equipment, and a fraternity advisor working with the University and the A1 Wall—A Brother IPG. Financially, our chapter is no small business. We provide room,board,and additional services for over 70 brothers, employing over 20 brothers in addition to the cleaning service and fraternity advisor mentioned above. However, this does not mean that there is no room for additional improvement I would like to see more diversification in our revenues. Currently,96% of all reve nues are collected from bonded con tracts, with the remaining 4% coming from pledge and out-of-house brother dues. Although this is fine in times ofa large house population,it becomes det rimental when fewer brothers live in,as to All A1 "Wildcat" Wall was memorial ized at this year's Pig Dinner, with the unveiling ofa magnificent portrait bust.

In an attempt to includestudentsoutsideof our fraternity in this weekend, the Friends Party seemed to be the perfect idea.

At IM Sports Strong these invaluable words. As an affiliated brother here at Michigan,I am prouder than ever to be a Phi Gam. Not only do I owe an thatpointin time,the furthestthoughtin my mind was leaving the University of Western Ontario and affiliating here at the Alpha Phi chapter. However,a few weeks later, when I received my accep tance to the University of Michigan, I endless amount of thanks to the active realized that I had a serious decision to an invitation is never needed,for those make. Probably the most significant factor convincing me to stay at Western was my fraternity. After being initiated, I could not imagine leaving Lambda Omega and all of my brothers there. B ut grads who haven't been around for a while,come on out and see what great shape the chapter's in. As always, the doors are wide open. Fraternally, brothers at 707 for enabling me to be a part of the brotherhood here at the Alpha Phi chapter, but also to our graduate brothers, who have built this chapter into what it is today. Although ever since the first time I walked Robert S. Berman '91 through the front doors here at 707 this fall,I've seen that brotherhood does not Improvement on the Hiil end at the border. Transferring to another college and affiliating at another chapter can be a pretty tough experience. Getting to know over one hundred Phi Gams here at Michigan well enough to truly feel like a brother at times seemed impos sible. Approaching anybody on cam pus whom I would see wearing a Fiji shirt, trying to remember everybody's name,and in generaljust trying to get to know such a large group of guys brought back memories of rush. On my way to the library one morn ing, I saw an active brother whom I talked to for a few minutes. He could tell that I was pretty discouraged about my affiliation, and reminded me of a Several house renovation projects were completed this year. The house started out better than any other"end of summer"state by the help ofa cleaning service which removed all unnecessary "junk and dirt." The front porch, after several months of construction, was completed as a new marble black dia mond was set in the cement in place of the older painted version. In addition, the floors of the commons area, card room,and Wildcat Library were refinished. Upcoming projects include new carpets for the commons area, card room, and Wildcat Library. Also planned is the staining and cleaning of the woodwork in the old house. The few familiar words written by a fellow renovations will then move outside the Phi Gam. To quote Brother Coolidge,I was reminded that "persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." This brother encouraged me not to give up, that it may take a while to get to know the brothers here,but to be persis tent—advice which I will not forget. house as we plan to repaint the lines on the parking lot. As the year progresses 707 Oxford is shaping up nicely. A special note: We thank Brs. Jeff Since my initiation, I have carried a "persistence-card" with me in my wal let, but only now,looking back on my past few weeks here at Michigan, have I realized the true significance behind Wenrich and Steve Marchewitz for their work on the house this past sum mer. We also thank all the graduate brothers whose contributions make our renovations possible. Nice job broth ers! —Tom McCarthy '91 House Manager The new school year is only a few months old,but the fraternity Interamural Sports program is well under way. Due to the loss of many athletic seniors it was hard to predict how our IM teams would fare in the '89-'90 season. However, we soon found out that Phi Gamma Delta was again going to be tough to beat. Golf was the fu-st sport of the year and Fiji finished in 8th place out of 39 fraternities. After an average Softball season we moved on to track. With the help of Keith Yamada's('90)2nd place finish in the 1600, Phi Gams placed I2th. Br. Keith came through again in cross country as he anchored a 4th place overall finish (Keith finished 3rd, with Brs. Tom Rogat ('91) and John Roessler('91)weren't far behind). It is shaping up to be another great year in the Intramurals as Phi Gamma Delta is currentlly in 5th place with our strong est events still ahead on the schedule. Phi Gams are also active in sports outside the intermurals. We are very proud of Br. Matt Elliot ('91) who is starting for the Rose Bowl Champion Michigan football team. Also Mike Drucker('90) is the head student man ager of the NCAA Champion basket ball team and Brian Schragg ('89) is now working full time for the football department. Once again Br. Lee Michaud has proved to be one of the best divers in the country, earning his 3rd straight Ail-American status. —Todd Minichiello ('91) IM Co-chairman \r\nJanuary 1990 Page 5 THE ALPHA PHIJI NEWS A Historical Fraternal Look at Fiji Moments 'ii 'k4 , s;*^vV> iB >< © T' ■ ■ >> ^ J^, 9 \i .\ ■«S* «!r >< ^ a ^ \r\nJanuary 1990 Page 6 THE ALPHA PHIJI NEWS Br.

Eric Matthew Elliott, a junior psychology major from Carmel, Indi ana, is the starting right guard for the University of Michigan football team. Not only has Brother Elliott shown his adeptness on the field, playing in two Rose Bowls, he has developed a strong interest in his academics and his busi ness pursuits. Brother Elliott also has been an integral part of our chapter. When not at practice or at class. Brother Elliott is at all house meetings, func tions, activities, and has taken a deep interest in upholding the values of the fraternity. He is strongly committed to the chapter, the team, and to school. When President of the University, James Duderstadt, came to our house for dinner. Brother Elliot volunteered with the rest of the brothers tomakesure the house was prepared for the President's arrival.
